saved us from anarchy, and should forever
preserve us from it.

sorrow the attempt Of fanatck, who by n
previous crime, proved that he already me

spIraces, and to place in u new light th,
sincere attachment of all the functionaries
of the empire to the Constitution which your
majesty has given them. Every quarter g!
