PROCLAMATION.
Romans! The will of the &lessen of heroes unites yeti wilt
the greatest of empires. It was just that the first people N
the world should divide the advantage and benefits of their
laws, and the honour of their name, with that people that
fhnnerly preceded them in the ath of glory. When year
forefathers conquered the world, is
such were the decrees of
their power, and the effects of their military superiority.
The desire of promoting your happiness has suggested the de-
cree for your union. The moment that has been adapted to
carry the same into effect, discovers to you the motives that
have suggested it. You are become a part of the Freocb
empire at the moment that the sacrifices which were required
to establish and confirm it are no longer necessary. You are
called to the triumph, without having participated in its
therm
' Payee the annals of your country. You will find that
they have long presented only a picture of year misfortunes.
Year whim! weakness renders you the prey of ever/ mili-
tary force that may crow the Alps. But, united with France,
our strewth is aho yours. Ail the evils which sprung from
year weakness are terminated.
" Unhappy as a Nation, you were not less so as Citizens.
The disease and wretchedness which prevail in your towns
and plains have long since announced to all Europe, as well
as yourselves, that your Princes, toe much engaged in other
cases, were tumble to procure for you the happiness which
you are now about to attain. •
" Roams! Not conquered, hut united; fellow-citimes,
and nut subjects, our strength is not only yours, but oar laws
will secure your traramillits, as they have already secured
ours; while by this union all the advantages will be added,
which they have conferred, you will have lust nooe of those
which yea have already possessed.
" Rome continues to be the seat of the visible head of the
Church; and the richly-endowed Vatican, freed from all fey-
reign influence, and raised uhove all vain terrestrial cares,,
shall be to the universe the parent and most conipleuous re-
ligion. Other parsnips shall preserve to your annals the in-
heritance of soar ancient fame; and the Sciences, the pro.
gene of Omits., patronised by a great man, and enriched by
all the ancient examples and models, shall no longer depend
for the support of their godlike reputation on the 'abeam of
firmer times.
" Such, Romans, is the prospect wh'eh is ovird to you
for tie future, and of which the Consult& that hassled been
made public is to lay the foundation.
" To secure your public debt, to improve vosr agriculture
and arts, In every respect, to ameliorate your condition, an I
finally to sappers those tears fur the future a hirh the preva-
lence of abuses has so often caused to flow, these are the com-
mands, this is the object of our illustrious Sovereign.
" Romans ! supported by our efforts, ou can more speedily
for yourselves, and more csisternientiv for us, obtain these ad- •
vantages which we possess, and of which a e are &arm Skat
you should partake.
