MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR.

r+tr.s, Oct. P. 1815.
TO THE PReirscla or THE IMPAitTuENTs.
rauipumaN,---Tite King has been pleased to en.
trust me with the portefeuille of the Interior.
I himediately turned my dye towards you.
I thought that you would add to the imperious
feeling of oar commoh duties, the benevolent desire
of seconding a Minister who has grown old in th•
career which you now run..
His Majesty honours by this choice the place
which you occupy, and dms 111.041110 ff the im.
portant., and the valise that be attaches to your la.
hours.
Never was an administration more difficult, nor
did any one ever hold out the prospect of greater
glory to those who should worthily fulfil its tune.:
tions. Difficulties ought to increase your courage.
Collect all your energy to conquer them ; think only!
of your duties and occupy yourselves entirely with;
them ; become public men in the fall extent of that
word, and when you feel the approaches of a sots of
discouragement, call to mind the image of your august
Sovereign, furnishink you with the brightest example
of the force of an indefatigable spirit ; you will im-
mediately feel your courage revive, and the happiness
of serving him will restore to you all your energy.
Place in the fist class of your duties the main-
tenance of public order, and if in your department
the ill disposed dare to circulate reports en the re-
establishment of tythes, the restoration of feudal
eights, the violation of property guaranteed by the
Charter which the King himself has given to his peo-
ple; you Mill rat confine yourselves to show the
ridiculousness of the.impostuie, ascend to its source,
ascertain those who spread it, and let them he hand-
ed over to the Tribunals. DO not hesitate to pro-
ceed
immedisly to the Communes where the lopes-'
ture may gain credit.
• Do not wait till the evil has gained ground ; by a
rapid measure oppose instantly the turbulent with all
the weight of your authority in the very spot where
they are acting. Require the same promptitude from
Sub-Prefects. Be thus present over all, and never
hesitate. Vigilance prevents disorders, and renders
unnecessary the application of force. But lam
sensible how much force even is necessary. Shortly,
that which is placed at your disposal will be in- i
creased.
Exercise the most active vigilance over Rll the (uric-
armories placed under your orders. We ought all
to serve the King cordially and loyally.
If there are any whose public conduct appears to
yen either doubtful or timid : if they palliate dix. •
orders, if they hesitate when they should act, inform
Me of the suspicion with which they inspire you, and
give them notice that you have acquainted me with
their conduct.

That you may he able to deliver yourselves up to
this energetic action which I require of you in exist-
log circumstance, and by which above all you will
merit the favour of the King, I shall labour to sim.
plify the details of administration.
I propose t• require of yea Waffling useless, that
those things which are necessary may be executed
with as much care as proniptit tad&
I beg you to communicate to me your 'Alec.
upon whatever appears .to you to clog or to
retard the march of administrntion, and upon the
means of rendering it more simple and more easy.
I recommend to you, above all things, the prompt
diipaich of that multitude of of with which the
interests of pets/tits and localities are connected.—
Often, of little importance in their nature, they gain
consequence by their number, and cannot be remitted
without excitirg numerous discontenta.
The same activity which I hereby require of you,
you have a tight to exact from me. Every time that
business is retarded write to me, addressing your let.
ter to me alone. Remind me of the affair in two
words ; this will be sufficient to incite me to examine
and to terminate the delay of which you have cause
to complain.
I shall be happy to present to his Majesty the re.
sults of your zeal and of your labours. it will be a
pleasing duty for me to fulfil ; but if I percei►e in
your administration slowness or indolence, if you do
not exert in it your whole energies, I shall lay your
conduct before the King ; no consideration ►►ill pre-
vent me.—Accept M. Prefect, &c.
Minister Secretary of State for the !messier,
(Sired) VAUBLANC.
