GUS attempt has alarmed the country; we must give
1t the pledges OF safety which it requires. Discre-
tlonary supertuous measures are not the point in
question. What want is a watchful. incessant
Surveillance, ready to prevent prompt and firm to
suppress, always calm, as power and justice should
be; in fact, populations, who have been Justly
alarmed must be treasured that the good need have

the plots against the Sovereign she has elected and
this she shall have.

operation, as you may rely upon my support. We
have mutual guarantee in my devotion to the En-
peror and in yours. | am, &C.
