Field-Maishal known in Brittany, Aniou,
and Normandy, in la Vendec, throughout
England, by the blood which be has shed--so
that he had prepared aud rendered sure the
crime /; and IN effect many isolated assassins
have endeavored at the Island OF E.lba, 60 gain
by the E,urder of Napoleon, the cuipab.e aud
shameful salary that was promised them.
Sd. The Duchies OF Parma and Placeni,a,
were given in full property to Maria Louisa
tor herself, her son and his descendants and
after long refusal put her in possession.
they ccnsummatea the injustice by AN abso-
Lutte spohatlon, under the iiusory pretext OF
an exchange without value, disproportionate.
without sovereignty. and without Consent; &
the documents existing with exterior reiati-
ons, which we have represented, prove that
1t was, by the solicitations, by the intreaties
and intrigues of the Prince OF penevento, that
Maria Louisa and her son have been robbed
18th. They should have given 20 the. Prince
Eugene, the adopted son of Napoleon, who has
honored France, which gave hidi birth, and
conquered the affection of Italy, who adopted
him, suitable establishment out of France
and he obtained nothing.
5th. The Emperor had, (article 9th in the
treaty. stipulated in favor OF the brave men of
the army the preservation of their allotted
gifts on the Mount Napoleon; he had re-
tserved in the Domaine Extraordnaire, e in
he funds remaining from the civil list, the
means to reoompence his servants, to paw the
soldiers who attached themselves to his des-
tiny all has been taken, kept back by the
ministers OF the Bourbons. An agent of the
military OF France, Monsieur Bresson, went
UseleSSfy TO Vienna to reclaim for them IN
most sacred OF properties, the price of their
courage and their blood
9th. The preservation of the gouS's, nova
ole and immovable, of the family of the en-
peror is stipulated by the same (artcle oth)
and 1t has been robbed both of one and the
other DE it knozrn by the armed hands
~ France, OF commissioned brigands-in tia
ly by the violence f military chiefs-and in
Doth Countries by representations and seizures
so!emnly ordered.
7th. The Emperor Napoleon ought to have
received two millions, & his family 9 500, COO
francs per year, according TO the assessment
(TehaTHtion )established Cart. 9th of the trea-
ty) and the French government had constant
ly refused to fulfil this engagement and Ma
poleon would have seen himself soon redu-
ced to the extremity OF dsrnissing his faithful
guard, tor want of means TO assure its pay if
he had not found, in the grateful recolections
OF bankers, and merchants of Genoa 4 Italy,
the honorable resource of a loan Of ~ 0CO 900,
which was offered him.
otn. In fine, 1t was not without motive that
tney wished, by every means, to draw from
Napoleon the companions of his glory-mo-
dels OF devotion and of constancy---the incor-
rupuble guarantees of his safety and of his
life. The Isle of Eliza insured 70 him, in full
property Cart. Sd of the treaty. and the reso-
luton to plumber him of it desired by the
bourbons, solicited by their agents, had been
considered Of Ia the Congress.
And if Providence had not protected him
N It's justice, Europe would have seen both
the person and liberty of Napoleon attempted
--eIer 7zo7c delivered over to the Dicrcy Of
his enemies, far from his family, and separa-
ted from his servants, and either at st. I.ucie
or 81. Helena, which they had assigned him
for prison.
And when the allied powers. according 70
the imprudent wishes, tc the cruel intreaties
OF the house Of Bourbon, have condescended
TO the violation OF a solemn contract, on the
taitd of which Napoleon had freed the French
nation from its oath--when he, himself, and
all the members ofhis family have seen them
selves nncnaced, attacked, both in their
persons, their properties, their affections in
all the right stipulated in their favor as
princes-even in those, assured them by the
laws tor private Citizens, what ought Napole-
on to do
Ought he to have endured so many often
ces--to consent to the complete violation of
engagements made with him, and resigning
himself personally to the faee which they had
prepared for him ; to abandon again his wife,
his SOP, his family, his faithful servants, to
their frightful destiny.
Such resolution seems beyond human
strength-and, yet, Napoleon would have ia
ken 1t. it the peace, the happiness Of France
had been the price of this new sacrifice: he
would have again devoted himself for the
French~people, from whom, as he wishes to
declare il to all Europe. he makes it his glo-
ry to hold every thing-for whom he will
bear every thing.-and to whom, alone, he
will answer for his actions and devote his life.
