pacific arrangement have miscarried, there
is no room for choice, and what cannot be
avoided becomes duty.
This duty placed me under the stern neces-

painful sacrifices, in order to place in a state
of defence their most sacred interests. My
faithful people have responded to my appeal
they have pressed forward unanimously in
defence of the throne. and they have made the
sacrifices of every kind demanded by circum-
