acquainted with those local hatreds, nor.
Those errors which the sovereign has over
Hooked or forgotten. Destined to put
Istop to crimes against social order, the
Ipolice does not violate principles in TAX
ling those fears for suspicious, ard suspi-
,lcions for acts.
| Thus your police has not made any
premature attempts on the personal Eber-
ltyof those whom it ought to presume in
Ia state of conspiracy against the public
liberty. So far from placing the indie
ipendence ofwriters under any restraint
the police has recalled into the course
Iof poemical contest those whom shame
g fear had driven from it. From this mo-
Iteration and respect for the laws, I'M
mense advantages have been derived in
enlightning the nation upon the subject
jof its real dangers and true interests, and
10y weakning, by publicity the impor-
ttance which ialsehood and calumny derive
from mystery and privacy, from knowing
1.-THE very hot beds, the springs and a.
gents of intrigue and by suffering them
to entrap and entangle themselves with
out the trouble OF any extraordinary ap-
parent attention.
1t is now time to put an end to the
!nanguvres which are now practising.
Emigrations are again commencing; cor
Irespondences are opened with foreign
countries committees are formed in the
towns, and disturbances are formed in
the country places.
If, Oh the FIRST appearance of those
symptoms in France, the evil had been
stopped ; in place of being satisfied with
threats and following the advice of
ttemporising indulgence, the government
had made use OF the extent of the power
with which it is vested, the country would
mot have been brought to its present state;
It would not have to depore the violent
means which the existing governments
we're constrained to use, and which even
the Importance of existing circumstances
can scarcely justify.
! In fine, many real disorders appear to
result from the measures which are now
taking.
In commune of the department of
Gard few disciplined individuals have,
Cor time, BORNE the white flag. A few
armed bands have appeared in the de-
oartments of Maine aud Loire, and of
! the Lower Loire.
Some women have destroyed the tri-
coloured flag in the commune Of Calyo-
dos.
Seditious shouts have been heard and
some rebeIlious acts have taken place in
! the department OF the North
In that OF the Contes du Nord Mayor
has been ,,assacred BY two old Chou
ans.
These crimes have spread alarm in the
places where they have been committed.

been made for one wear, will be attached |
the spirit of revivins the revolutionary
hatred. and OF re-estabiishing civil war.
they do not depend exclusively on tie
political changes which have taken place.
Without apy obstacle-they do not threat

MONS, second the views of some accom-
plices, but they have no partisans. All
good men-ali friends to good order and
peace, whatever their political views may
be, must all detest such atrocious acts !;
all must be interested in not propagating
|sucn disorders. but must wish that they
are checked with severity in order to
stop their progress. do not propose to
your majesty to adopt extraordinary mea
sures. or to exceed the limits of the consti-
tuition.
It is now about four months since our
tribunals have punished with transporta-
ton, and four years Punishment those
who cried 8 Vive l'Emperor," whilst those
who now cry out :: vive lie Roi" remain
UNPUBLISHED that moderation is sign of
strength and power. But the tribunals
cannot on other matters remain undecid-
ed without failing in their duty, and
without destroying that harmony of in
tention which animates the people aud
the government.
