cient guarantee to all the Powers of Europe against
the invasion which they seem so much to fear at
present ; but that fear is only a vain pretext to cover
their ambition.
That ambition is suflitiently demonstrated by the
senseless Declarations of the Congress of Vienne,
by the assemblages on our frontiers, by hostiltiee
commenced in full peace, by landings effected on our
coasts in order to encourage civil war, and, in fine,
by the refusal to listen to any proposal for tie main-
tenance of peace, All these circumstances must give .
a precise idea of the justice and modelation of our
enemies: it is the same as in 1792, when the Duke
of Brunswick published the famous hlanifesto of
which the insolent pretensions converted the French
into a nation of soldiers.

French people, essentially gond end generous, and

and you have a right to know, without the least
