TO THE EMIGRANTs FROM COST.
FIRME.
Erroneous calculations in some. mi,
taken principles in others, fatality IN
many, and the circumstances of III,
times in all, have been the cause Of /,
cruel and desolating war in Venezues,
whilst venge anre and resentment hsy,
prevailed. and the heat of passion ba,
prevented q mutual understanding
During this disastrous epoch, reasOlt
good faith were often disregarded, and
hatred and private interest almost al.
ways reigned despotically, the fatal re.
suit Of which has been the devastation
of a beautiful country, which in tbm
centuries had attained an inCreditI.
degree of prosperity, and the extprni.
nation Of its inhabitants, worthy Of |,
better fate.
The king has behsld this distesn,
state of things with that noble feeling
of which he gave so many, and has jut
given such convincing proofs. Th.
King has turned his eyes towards tEi,
small portion of his great empire, and
has resolved to complete the happines,
it enjoys, by banisIing from the sol
the evils which afflict it, the king wish
es to unite his great family, to renda
it happy and to blot ont even the recO.
lection IF its past misfOrtunes.
Therefore, duly authorised by Iii
Majesty, and anxious for the accom-.
plishment of his generous desires (de
sires so conformable to my own) | ad
dress you and offer to you the libertT
OF returning to these provinces undt'
all that security which ought to be look.
ed for among brothers, and which Is
inscparable from the orders of a CON.
mon parent who 50 commands it. YOr
wherever you may he, and whate'd
may have been your opinions, actions
or circumstances, may return to your
homes to enjoy domestic happiness and
the advantages Of the representative g.
yernment which the nation has just
sworn to support, and which makes D;
free as we ought to be. This sacrd
oath is the only condition required from
you by his majesty.
] am persuaded that you will az
correspond in an improper or unICr
seen manner to the wishes of his majs
ty, nor to the solemn invitation nov
given. will not do you the injusn
to believe. that you will distrust pre-
mise made in the face of the world, c|
that your bosoms will harbor such H.
putations and fears as may be INSPIRE.
by the maiignity of some. and the T.
norance and insincerity of otherS--M
ycr. AS sensible as yourselves TO 'H
distresses Of country to which an
strongly attached, | ardently desI'
nothing more than to witness your lr'l,
city TO see reunited those iamlI''
whom discord has separated; to Oe |"
bic to call my self your brother TO ri
turn to my native country, leavlns!u
in yours in the full enjoyment of P'S'
and tranquility, recoIlecting past e'D|
only to fear and avoid them in future
Your security is sacred and lnvl"'|
BILE; it is founded On the will of the Hfs
it is conducted with my honor, ~
word, and my wishes it is the oOp|
of my care !; and no one, not ot Ts
will be bold enough to disturb 1t. lD|
voil is dropt unhappy be he who dD'|
to reKd it.
