PROCLAMATION.
CONVOCATION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

44 We had on the 31st December last adjoarned
the two Houses., to resume 'their sittings on the Ist
May. During that time we had been preparing the
objects upon which they were to occupy themselves.
The march of the Congress of Vienna permitted us
to belie've in the general establishment Of a solid and
duiable Peace; and we were engaged, without ceas-
ing, inell those labours which might ensure the tran-
quillity and happiness of the people. This tranquil-
lity is disturbed—this happiness may be compro-
mised by malevolence and treason. The prompti-
tude and wisdom of the measures which we are tak-
ing will check their progress. Full of confidence in
the zeal of which our Chambers have given as proofs,. •
we are eager to call them around us.
If the enemies of the country have founded their
hope upon the divisions which they have always en-
deavoured to fothent, its supporters, its legal de-
fenders will destroy that criminal hope by the unat.
tackable force of an undestructible union.

" For these causes, we have ordered and do or.

der what follows:
" Art. 1. The Chamber of Peers and the Chem.
ber of DepUties of Departments are convoked ex.
tranrainarily in the usual place of their Sittings.
44 2. The Peers and Deputies of Departments ab.
seet from Paris, shall repair thither as soon as they
are informed of the present Proclamation.

46 3. The Resent Proclamation shall he inserted
in the Bulletin of Laws, addressed to alt the Pre.
feels, Sub.prefeets, Mayor, and Municipalities of
the kingdom, published ancUstlick up at Paris, and

every where else.
.64 4. Our Chancellor and our Ministeta, each in
what concerns them, are charged with the execution

of the present.
46 Given at the Castle of the Thuilleriet, 6th
March, and of our reign the 20th.
