an going, gentlemen, to resd to YOU
the two additional conventions, one of
which regulates the payments of the an
nual sums, winch are TO complete the pay
ment OF the indemnity stipulated in the
4th article of the principal treaty, and the
other determines the form and mode of the
execution of the 5th article, relative to the
temporary maintenance Of foreign army
upon our frontiers.
After discussions, long and Contested. in
which demands sull more exhorbtant
have been made upon us, and at last with
drawn, those which are communicated to
you have been presented to us as an uLfi-
NAHUM, and considerations the most urgent
and the most impcrious have with the au-
thority of a law, compelled us to subscribe
to them.
These demands are certainly the most
onerous part, the most hard and the most
painful OF the stipulations we have had to
discuss and it sufiices for one To know
that they have been proposed to French
men, to conclude that necessity-and thot
| necessity the most ind;spensible--ha been
able to determine them 20 subscribe them.
But If, after the example of the king. which
we have heard, gentlemen, at the opening
ofyour session, with that accent of frank
ness and goodness which are the most pro-
minent traits in his noble character, ex-
press to you the profound grief with which
his heart is penetrated; if, say, it can be
| permitted TO us to render AN account be-
fore you. and the face of Europe, of the
impressions which we shall have felt,
will say, that arrived at this period of the
negotiations, the most thorny which can
ever have exercised the zeal and proved
the devotion of the servants Of an unhappy
king, after having exhausted all the means
OF discussion and of resistance VIII CHI rea-
SOP * that political fore sight, which in good
| as in bad fortune ought to be the constant
| rule of the conduct of cabinets, could sur-

termination unchangea ably fixed se.ing on
the other side that the existing crisis, was
| putting necessarily in action throughout
| the whole extent of France the principle of
oppression, oilmpoverishment, of irritation,
and in fine series of devastations which
seemed every day to increase and take
new strength, we have judged that if we
suffered this crisis to be Indefinitely pro-
longed it would be the ruin of France, the
ruin even ofthCse who have imposed upon
| us so great sacrifices, and perhaps of the
destiny of the social order in Europe
And 1t in the view of so many dangers
that sacrificing without hesitation all our
repugnances, we have accepted, in the
name Of the King, in the name of the coun-
try, the conditions which are presented to
you.
