The following is the manifesto Of the Emperor

81 have ordered my army to enter Sardinia
Our struggle is a Just one, and we kbegin 1t with
courage and confidence. We hope, however, that
we shall not stand alone in it. Ispeak as sove-
reign member OF the Germanic Confederation,
when l call attention TO the common danger, and
recall to memory the glorious time in which Eu-
rope had to thank the general and fervent enthu-
siasm of Germany for its liberation, for God and
the Fatherland."
The following is Napoleon's Address to the
Legislature. He was to set out for the army on
the 9TH
Austria, by ordering her army in the territory
of Sardinia, our ally, has declared war against u.s.
She thus violates our. treaties and menaces our
frontiers. All the great powers have protested
against this act of aggression. Piedmont, having
accepted conditions, one asks what can be the
reason of this sudden invasion? Ii is because
Austria has driven matters to such All extremity

Italy must be free to the shores of the Adrac, or
every corner of Italy which remains Independent
endangers the power Of Austria.
Hitherto, moderation has been the rule OF my
conduct, but now energy becomes my first duty.
France must now to arms, ahdresolutely tell Eu-
rope wish not for conquest, but am determined
fully 10 maintain my national and traditional poll
cy. I observe treaties on condition that they are
not violated against me. l respect territories and
the rights of neutral Powers, but boldly avow
my sympathies with people whose history is
mingled with my own, and who now groan under
foreign oppression.
France has shown her hatred Of anarchy. Her
will was TO give me power sufficient to reduce
into subsection abetors OF disorder and lncorrigi-
bic members of the old factions, who were inces-
sanity concluding compacts with our enemies; but
who has not, for that purpose abandoned her civ
izing character. Her natural allies have been
those who desire the amehoration of the human
race, and when she draws the sword, 'tis not to
govern, butte free. The object, then, of this war
is to restore Italy to herself, not to impose upon
her change of masters, and we shall then have
upon our frontiers friendly people who will owe
to US their independence. We do not enter Italy
to ferment disorder or to disturb the power of our
holy father, whom we replaced upon his throne,
but to remove from him this foreign pressure
which burdens the whole peninsular, and to help
TO establish order there, based upon lawful salts
fed interests. In fine, then, We enter this classic
ground, rendered illustrious by so many victories,
TO seek the footsteps of our fathers. God grunt
that We may be worthy OF them.
l am about to plac 81 myself at the head Of the
army. l leave to France the Empress and my
son, seconded by the experience and enlightenment
Of the last Emperor's Surviving brother. She
will understand how to show herself worthy the
grandeur Of her mission. l confde them to the
vaor of the army which remains in France TO
keep watch upon our frontier and guard our
homes. Iconfide them 10 the patriotism of the
National Guard. confide them, in word, to
the entire people, who will encircle them with
that affection and devotedness OF which I daily
receive so many proofs. Courage, then, and un-
ion.
Our country is about to show the world that she
has not degenerated. Providence will bless our
efforts, for that cause is holy in The ewes of God
which rests on justice, humanity, love Of country
and independence.
