groan, .,onso,,e
Taen she scattered among the people,

| Of her numerous emissaries, and an &C

from their princes-peopie trsH '"ei'

1t was thus that numerous socleties
| under the name of Friends OF Truth
Friends of Nature, sc. or under other
titles no less ridiculous, have been torn
| ed, encouraged, supported-prsachlnS
hatred, Instruction, oisobedlence a.
rainst every Sovereign, the friend OF
| France, of peace, and the Continent.
Alas it Was in our France, now so
| neaceabye. then 50 miserable and so agi-
lated, that the English Cabinet made
| during several years, which were years.
| Of crimes and misfortunes, the trial OF
| these fatal means of discord and civil
! troubles.
It was BY these means that England
! acted in 1909 against the Cabinet OF 81
Pctersburgh; then it Showed frieno'y
! d;snosi,ions towards France. 1t was oy
her agents that England prepared IN
Russia the influence of the party hostile
to France; and by it, the hesltatlons,
| the variations, the hostile resolutions OF
the Cabinet; and in short, this last war,
| which has cost Russia the devastation OF
| her finest provinces, the repose OF Eu-
| rope, the regrets of humanity.
England has employed, without doubt
| to prepare the eternal dishoner OF Gen'
| d. York, the same means. the same as
socistions, by which, in 1909, she brot
| regular corps into rebellion, and thing
unheard OF y to make war ON their ae'
count, in opposition to the wishes and e.
ven against the orders OF their sovereign
Thus England disunites and divides
the countries over which she cannot do
mineer ;-she prepares the ruin OF states
she cannot subject to her system
In short, what more inevitable means
| of destruction are there for the most
strongly secured throne, than the de-
struction of an army,-its opposition to
the interests of its country,-ils d'sobe'
tience to the orders of its MoEarch,-lt
! al the sovereigns interested in the sup,

! their voices to condemn it-thelr efforts
to Insure the punishment OF lt--thelr
! bower to prevent recurrence OF 1t!
Happily. Gentlemen, the attempts OF
| our enemies to extend TO France, their
| fatal irGucnce---their fatal successes
are impotent.
Our vast territory, our immense po-
| puIation, feel only the sacrifices insepe-
| rable trom the state of war, but are lar
| from suffering the n.isiovtunes OF the
country WHICH is its theatre.
Inwardly tranquility reigns; industry,
the arts, the public works pursue their
course. Ex,eriorlv, Austria and our o.
| ther allies, shew themselves aflectlonate
and lai,hful.
Our forces, our means, our military
resources, are, immense.
! Always 1t the moment when the tirst
eruption Of these destructive VOLCANOES,
fl Cd by England, is going TO break out
under those thrones which wish 10 rest
independent of her politics, it is neces-
sary to re. unite proporli"nate resources,
even superior to the dsngers which pru-
dence discovers.
That which was yesterday sufficient
FOR the security of government, IS to-day
found to lie deficient in foresight. Ne"
events have created new wants uniore-
seen conjunctures require unexpected
sacrifices.
| A universal sentiment of devotion and
fidelity unites itself in the French PEG
pie to the feelings of their interest and
their glory, to direct their conduct and
determine their resolutions. His ma.

and prepare peace.

minister at war, are to be divided into.
