THE MESSAGE.
GENTLEMEN REPRESENTATIVES, l come this year, as
usual, 10 present 10 you account of the important
events which have been accomplished since my last mes
sage :,
believe, however, ought 10 pass with silence the
events which, in spite OF myself have produced certain
discussions which will always be regretted.
With the exception OF some partial agitation, the pub
lie peace has not been troubled and even al various
epOchs at which political difficulties were OF kind 10
weaken the sentiment OF public security and TO assis, APP
prehensons. the country. by It's peaceful attitude, has
shown confidence in the government tho evidence OF
which is most pleasing TO me.
Il appears, however. mprudent 10 faiter ourselves
with illusions on this appearance OF anGsillty vast
demagogucsl conspiracy is organizing in France and
Europe societies endeavorng TO extend their
madness and violence OF party brought forth. while
these not even agreed on persons things; they
agreed 10 meet in 1882 not TO construct but to over
throw Your patriotism and your courage, with which
shall endeavor to keep pace, Will, am sare, save
France from the danger wherewith she is threatened
But conquer those dangers must look them with
out fear and without e1aggera,ion, while

voiion Of the army-France Will yet be saved Let us.
therefore, unite efforts TO deprive the spirit Of evil
even of the hope OF a momenlary success.
The best 10 attain this end has always appeared

In the greater part of France ordinary measures have
suced TO insure order but the state of siege maintained
in the sixth military division has had to be extended 10
the department OF The Ardeche, stained with the blood of
frequent collisions, and recently still to the depart
menis OF the Cher and Marne, terrified by commence
ment of Jacquerie.
At Lyons strong and unique system of police has been
organized, embracing twelve towns or suburban com
nunes which the law has comprehended under the de-
nomination OF the Lyonese aggiomeration.
Political refugees entered into dangerous affiliations
Some It was necessary 10 expe, but hospitality has
tnued to be extended 10 very large numbers
