Proclamation of the President.
Paris, Monday ev ening.
Frenchmen! The disturbances are pac-
fed. Whatever be the decision of the peo-
pie, society is served. Tae first part of my
task is accomplished. The appeal made to
the nation, to terminate the struggles of par
ties, was, as foresaw, attended with no seri-
GUS risk to the public tranquility. Why should
the people have risen against me, if | no lon
ger have your confidence? Ifyour ideas are
changed, there is no need TO cause the she'd
ding Of precious blood. 1t suffices TO deposit
a single vote, and | abide the decree of the
decree of the people. But SO long as the ma
ton has not spoken, viii recol from no eff
fort, from no sacrifice to battle the attempts of
the rebelIious. The task has now become
easy On one hand it has been shown how
mad it was to contend against an army anima
ted by honor and patriotism.
On the other hand, the tranquil attitude of
the people of Paris, and the reprobaton with
which they siigmatize the insurrecton, show
for whom the Capital has declared itself and
its Populous quarters, where insurrection was
want to enlist its recruits so quickly among
workmen docile to its instigation.
Anarchy this time, has only been able to
meet profound repugnance for this detesta-
ble invocation. Thanks be rendered to the
intelligent and patriotic people of Paris. Let
that population persuade itself that my sole
ambition is to secure the repose and prosper
ity of France. Lett continue to lend its con-
currence to authority. and soon the country
will be able to accomplish in quiet the solemn
act, which is to inaugura,e a new era for the
Republic.
