PROCLAMATION.
LOUIS, by the Grace Of God, Kinsof
France and Navarro.
To our faithful and loyal Peers Of
France, and the Deputies of the Depart.
ments..
Divine Providence, which recalled US
to the throne of our ancestors, permits,
to day, that this throne should be sha-
ken by part of the armed force who had
sworn to defend it; we might profit by
the faithful and patriotic dispositions Of
an immense majority of the inhabitants Of
Paris, to dispute their entrance but we
shudder at the miseries of all kinds to
which battle within its walls would eX-
pose the inhabitants.
We will retire with some brave men,
whom intrigue and perfdy have not been
able to detach from their duties; and
because we cannot defend our Capital,
we will 90 farther off to rally cur forces
and to find out in another part otthe en-
pire, not subjects more loving and faithful
than our good Parisians, but trenehmen
more advantageously situated to declare
themselves for the good cause.
The crisis, in which we find ourselves
for the moment, will subdus; we have
the heart consoling presentiment; that the
soldiers who have been seduced, whose
detection gives up our subjects to 50 ma
nv dangers. will not be slow IN ackno%-
lodgings their errors, & they shall ind, IN
our indulgence and in our goodness inc
recompense of their return.
We will soon come back in the mldM !"
of these good people, to whom we sl'aA
restore peace and happiness once more more
