Switzerland and the whole Of ITALY. w. have
been moderate in the mi,ift of the great, q proE
perty. Out of 70 manv provinces, we have
only Fre!Srved thofe which were necefary TO

had not afforded them orr generous protection.
We lave rated them up and conir'rc' Their:
and the princes of Germany are at this day
IN more fplcndid i:tuation than ever their ~
ceftors were.
Aufria, herfclf, after two urT,ccefsrrI
wars, has acquired the fate of Venice. At
all times The would willingly have exchanged
the provinces which fhe has LOFT, for the V,neli
an territory.
g Holland was fcarceIy conquered, when
| The was declared independent. Her union
with our empire would have completed our
commercial fyftem, fince the ereateft rivers
OF one half of our territory meet the fra
through Holland. Still Holland il indepen.
dent; and its cuitoms, ifs commerce, AVID its
administration, are direGed by the will of the
government.
Switzerland was occurred by our armies.
We dcfendedit againit the combined force
of Europe. Its union would have completed
our military frontier. Still Switzerland 90
verns itfelf by the aet of me diation, and by the
inclination of nineteen free and independent
Cantons.
The union ofthe territory of the Italian re-
public with the French empire, would havebeen
advantageous for the advancement of orr acy-
| culture. Nevertheless, after the frcond con-
qneft, we confirmed its independence at Lyons,
We do more this day.
We proclaim the principle of the f-nara-
ton of the crowns of France and I,aly afliirn-
ing for the period of that feparation, the mo-
ment when it fhalI become pofIible, without
dangert to our people of Italy.
We have accepted, and we will place on
our head the iron crown Of the ancient Lomi, u
dy, for the purpofe of new tempe,ng it, to coo-
foIidate it, that it may not be broken in the
midi of the tempets which menace it, 70 long
as the Mediterranean 1iall not be reaored to
| its prinine fate.
" But we do not heitate to declare, that we
will tranfmit this crown to one of our lawful
children natural or adopted, the day when we
| fhall be without alarm for that Independence
which we have guaranteed 70 the other ltases of
the Mediterranean.
! The genius OF evil Will feel, in vain for pre-
texts to plunge the continent into war; That
which has been united to our empire by the
constitutional laws of the fate, fhall remain 60.
No new province fnall lie incorporated with
it but the laws of the Ba avian republic, the
ACT of mediation of the nineteen Swifs Cantons,
and this frft ltatute of the kingdom of l.
tally, are confantlv under the protection of
our crown, and lhall never fufer them to be at
tackled.
in all circumstances and in all tranfacions,
we will difplay the fame moderation and we
hope, that our people will no longer have occa-
fon to manifeft that courage and energy which
they have always fhewn in defending their law
full rights"
