the three powers of Austria, Russia, and

every attempt which shall be opposed to the
preservation of this order. In this state OF

every means to spare the blood Of our be-

in making known to all, in the face of Eu
rope, that the whole fault will belong 10 the
perturbators oflegitimate order, if ever any
other army than our own shall show itself IN
the interior of our states; or if ever, with
it gives US the greatest chagrin TO think of,
