am deeply moved by this offer, and ten
der my most grateful thanks to the Assem-
blies and the people who have given me so
great a proof of attachment. believe
that in making this offer, you are influenced
less by my personal merits, than your de.
votedness to the King and by your feelings,
which are not only liberal and national, but
are also those of order and respect for mo-
narchial institutions.

sonal propriety, and the approaching Con
gress, deter me, much to my regret, from
responding to your appeal accepting the

milton of her determination to support the
popular government and national right in
