LOUIS,
By the Grace Of God, King OF france
and Navarro.
To all persons to aOhom these presents
shalt come, Greeting.
We have been informed that several
members of the house of peers have &C
cepted seats in a pretended house OF peers
named and assembled by the man who
had usurped the power of our states from
the Goth Of March until cur return to the
kingdom. tits beyond a doubt that the
peers Of France, since they have not yet
been made hereditary, might and may
give in their resignation, inasmuch as
they thereby only dispose of advantages
which are purely personal. 1t is equal
IL evident that the acceptance of func-
tons incompatible with the dignity with
which they are invested, supposes and is
necessarily followed by the resignation of
that dignity, and consequently the peers
who are in the situation above mention
ed have really abdicated their rank, and
have in fact resigned the peerage OF
France.
For these reasons we have decreed and
do decree as follows
