YOUR Majesty tufoue, tnc uOUtaSS Oh tneif
gratitude. devotedness and hdS0fy.
All the Blessings Of our iosWcal system
have been communicated to these new de-
partme nts our codes have been-published
there, our institutions have there been rea-
lized equitable laws. in sftacing what the
feudal sly stem presented odious and con-
trary TO the principles OF civilization of all
goodegovcrnment here respected all the
righSs of property, and the superior advan-
tsiges OF this legislature have been generally
acknowledged.
Such, Gentlemen, was the situation of these
countries, when the misfortuucs Of rigor
GUS and premature season falling on the
Grand Army, excited hopes in our enc nies
which our victories had discorcertcd. All
sorts of intrigues were put iii train. a new
coalition vas formed III the north and
Prussia thinking tie be able To give vent to
her hatred with inpuniey. has gwen to the
world the example of an odious pertdy. ~
shsir transactions, the coalesced powers
cedeH Eocwey 40 Sweden, and promised to
Denmark as an indemnity our Hansea!ic de-
partments.
The Danish government rejected an ar
TansemeBt, which, i'm stripping her of an inn
portant part of her territories, offered her
in compensation ouly chimerical hope, and
the certainty of an eternal war with the
Empire. An enlightened & wise Prince had
feeling his true interests he has remained
faithful to us.
In the mean time, the enemy apprehended
our Hapseatic departments, and there sowed
abe seeds of trouble and revolt.
CAN'T be possible they have blinded them
20 that degree as to persuade them that they
should be able TO shake OFF the obedience
they owe toyour Majestys
What because storm, which prudence
~E
victorious army, do our enemies Halter them
selyes to be able to dispose of our territory
according to their ambition! they believe
they should have it in their power to dictate
the law to US, and to lead us to q shameful
peace Without doubt we must soon have
burnt our fleets. destroyed our dock yards
and reduced ourselves to 30 ships of the
line, as they have dared to propose to us.
Deprived of our colonies and of the advan-
tages of maritime commerce, we must also
have renounced our power on the continent,
suffered our manufactures and national in
dustry TO perish, and become in every res
pect the seryile tributaries of England
No, the nation is in unison with its sover-
egn full of confidence in the frmness OF
his character and the resources of his ge-
MUS, never will it permit the SIN allest at
terspt against the dignity Of the crown il
will display, if necessary, all its energy to
repe, foolish pretensions. Already has ii
she wn these noble sentiments, and we shall
zee them perseyered in with an mistaken
Constancy. l. Il
You, Gentlemen, who are the principal
organs OF this generous people, you will
shew yourselves their worthy interpreters i'm
sancrioning the measures proposed. That
which we are especially charged to present
10 you, is as we observed at the beginning
the case foreseen by our Constitution. From
eka 81, %t,a
of the Hanseatic departments, from the
moment he therein excited disorders and Sc
ditions and raised criminal hopes, it is evil
dent that the empire of the constitutional
and ordinary laws, whose exercise supposes
a regular and peaceable state of things,
must there be suspended to give place to all
the extraordinary measures which crcum
stances might command. This suspension
moreover 10 only Tor three months every
shing leads to the belief that even this time
will not be necessary to make the depart
ments enter into a perfect subsection and
we shall see, do not doubt it, all good citi-
zens, all the enlightened men of these coun-
tries, concur of themselves In the success of
she measures your Majesty shall take to
cause the empire of order and of the laws
60 be established there.
