ro,rrs 81 he Graceof God, King Of
Lg E.r,cy en.l Sfarasre. 10 all our sab
;s:ts. Greeting.
r..rce free and respected was enjoy
h. onr care the peace and prosperity
y IN had been restored toit, when the
wiz VIM of gonaparte from the island of
ss.. .,d his annearance on the French
h i;tary seduced to revolt the greater
90 &c tse army. Supported by this IL
pa a., force he has made usurFation and
fanny succeed to the equitable empire
J sftbs laws. The efforts and the indig-
VI .t - Of our subjects, the majesty OF the
s .,ooe. and frat Of the national represer-
.at;,o have Welded to the violence OF a
mot;nous soidiery, whom treacherous and
nar;nrsd leaders have seduced BY deceit
iul hopes. ~,
This criminal success having excited in
sorDe Just ALARMS, formidable armies
have been put in march towards France,
avid ,Ilthe other powers decreed the des-
fructiaa of the tyrant.
,lar first care. as our first duty, has
teen tecause a just and necessary dis
tiast;on to be recognized between the
disturber Of the peace, and the oppressed
French nation.
Faithful to TIE principles which have
,lvavs guided them, the severeigns, our
sIl;es. have declared their intention to
resoect the independence of France, and
to guarantee the integrity otis territory.
Tney have given us the most solemn
assurances that they viii not interfere In
the internal government, and it is on
these considerations we have resolved to
accept their generous assistance.
The usurper has in vain attempted to
sag disseutions among them, and by
ieisned moderation to disarm their just
resentment. His whole life has forever
deprived him of the power Of imposing
upoa good faith. Despairing of the sue
cess ofhis articles, he seeks for the Sc
cond time to precipitate with himseliinto
the abyss the nation over which he caus-
ed terror to reign. He renews all the de-
partments of administration, in order TO
fill them with men sold to his tyrannical
projects; he disorganises the national
guard, whose blood he intends to LAVISH IN
asacrilegous war; he begins 70 abolish
rights, which have long since heea abo-
hshed.

B patinc; he promises to proclaim there IN
the midst of hayenetsa derisory imitation
] o that constitution. which after 25 years
Of disorders and calamities, had for the
irst time founded on solid basis the IL
berry aud the happiness of France. Fl
n nally he has consnmmated the greatest
s. Of all crime towards our subjects by at
q tempting to separate them from their So
n rcFelgn, to tear them away from our ia
Miiy, whose existence for so many ages
A has been identified with thatoi the nation
! ITSELF, and is still to this moment the on
y tdlg that can guarantee the stability
Of the legitimacy Of the government, the
FSslts and the liberty Of the people, the
mutual interests OF France and of Eu.

Ia these circumstances we rely with
entire confidence on the sentiments of
yl' subjects, who cannot fail to perceive
me dangers and the miseries to which
hey are exposed by a man, whom as
'e'ooed Europe has devoted to public
soseance. All the powers know the
