King has been requested to take part, and
in which he has taken part. Let the
French army, regenerated, resume the
lustre which belongs to its name. Let ALL
the national guards, delivered from the
snares of periidy, and restored to the
movement of their hearts, hasten the re-
establishment to civil and political order,
throughout the whole kingdom. Let it be
necessarily repeated, in fine, that the
more the French do to save their country.
their auxiliaries will have the less to sub

put down, the usurper once DESTROYED, no
foreign power will place itself between the
legitimate prince and his faithful people. to
interfere with any of the political institu-
tions, of which the proposal, the considera.
ton, and tue adoption belong exclusively
10 them.
Frenchmen! the king, who has always
been near you, will soon be with you.--
His majesty, the day on which he shall SET
loot on his territory and yours, will make
known to you in detail his salut .ry inten-
tons, and all his measures of Justice. order
and wisdom. You will see that the peri
od OF his retreat has not been time lost
tor your interests, and that the king has
reigned by the cares of his foresight. even
when he did not reign in the exercise of
his authority.''
In one passage, particularly addressed
to the rebels, 1t is obsetved,' The king per-
haps pardoned too much but it is as lin
possible orLouis XVIII. not to exercise
pardon, as not to do justice. Let the VIC
TINS ct necessity be assured that it will
not be imputed to them and let all with
out exception, know and acknowledge, that
there are times when perseverance, in
crime is the only thing that cannot be for
given.''

about to reconcile second time with Eu-
rope inhabitants Of those good cities,
whose affecting wishes daily reach the
KING, and encourage him to accomplish

subJugated by terror, or sold to falsehood,
but with the cry of your hearts and your
consciences ; national guards, whom on

The manifesto concludes with adverting
TO the elections now going on in France
II says " doubtless, if it were possible for
these elections to be national, the scruti-
mixers faithful, and the voices free, the
new Champ de Mai would make the lille
gality of its principle disappear in the 10y
atty OF its wishes. Its first cry would be
a new conservation of that alliance sworn
nine centuries ago, between the nation of
the Franks and the royal house of France.
and perpetuated for nine centuries be-
tween the posterity of those Franks and
the posterity of their kings the true
French nation would never wish either to
peUure its ancestors, nor perjure itself.
But what can you expect from an usurper.
or from those who have ensanguined or de-
tlled all that they have ever touched who
have made objects of derision or horror

veneration and love who would disgrace,
were it possible, even the names of coun-
try, liberty, the constitution, laws, honor
and virtue P''
The above manifesto was adopted in a
royal council of state, presided by his ma
Jesty, on the report of count LalIy Tollen-
dial, at Client, April "a, 1915.
