The Journal Official, of this
morning, publishes the following
proclamation from the Emperor
to the French people of France:
FRENoHMEN: There are, in the
life OF a people, solemn moments
when national honor, violently ex-
cited, presses itself irresistibly
and arises above all other inter
ests aud applies itself with the,
single purpose of directing the
destinies of their notion. One of
those decisive hours have how ar
| rived for France.
Prussia, to whom we have given
evidence, during and since the
war of 1866, of a most conciliatory
disposition, has held our good will
of no account, and has returned
our forbearance by encroachments.
| She has aroused distrust in all
quarters; necessitating exaggerated
armament, and has made all of
Europe a camp, where there is
reign Of distrust and fear for the
morrow.
The final incident has disclosed
instability of international under
standing, and shows the gravity
of the situation. In the present
of her new pretentions Prussia
was made to understand our
claims. They were evaded, and
followed with contemptuous treat
ment. Our country manifested
profound displeasure at the action
and quickly the war cry resounds
from one end of France to the
other. There remains for us moth
ing but to confide our destinies to
chance OF our arms. We do not
make war upon Germany, whose
independence we respect; we
pledge ourselves should we beat
the people composing the great
German nationalist to dis
pose freely to their destinies. As
for US, we demand the establish
ment of state of things guaran-
teeing our security, and assuring
the future; we wish to conquer
peace, based on the true interests
| of the people, and assist in abol-
ishing that precariouS condition
| of things when all nations are
forced and employ their resources
in arming against each other.
Glorious flag of France, which
we once more unfurl in the face of
our challenger, is the same which
has been borne through Europe,
civiIizing ideas of our great revo-
luton. 1t represents the same
principles; it will inspire the same
devotion.
Frenchmen, I go to place my
self at the head of the valiant
army, which is animated by love
of country and devotion to duty,
that the army knows it worth
now. 1t has seen victory follow
it's footsteps in four quarters of
the globe.
| take with me my son, despite
his tender years. He knows the
| duties his name imposes upon him,
and he is proud to bear his part
in the dangers of those who fight
for your country.
! May God bless our efforts. A
great people defending a just
cause is invincible.
