Th. Emperor, it ippears, had a severe Gil from his horse
on the 30th of Jose, by which so.ne of his ribs were fr.ic•
enrol. Ills Majesty was for several days in a very weak
state, which caused great alarm ; but we learn that for
some days he had been in a progressive state of amendment
and was able to walk a little in his chamber.
The Emperor has issued a Proclamation, frau' which it
is manifest that the absolute power he has assumed, is not
agreeable to all his subjects. He begins with observing
that the Constitutional Government which does not
guide itself by public °pion'''. or which is ignorant of it,

"despotism and arbitrary acts," and appeals to some instance
of his conduct, as a proof of his disposition. " lience."
he says, "though at present we have not a constitution,
yet ma have bases established by reams., wisicb must Ls

of property and the immunity of the house of a citizen.
If t►ey have been attacked or violated hitherto it is because
your Emperor was ignorant of the existence of such sib'.

contrary to the system we have embraced. Be assured they
will from this day forward be rigorously maintained. Yon

children. Regardless of the iacautious persons who seek
to call in question my constitutional disposition, it will
always appear triumphant ; as the sun dispels the thickest
clouds. Depend on me as I depend on you, and you will
