NASTY.
The Journal Oficiel publishes the following
proclamation to the army:
When general compromises his command
he is relieved. When q government puts in
peril by its own weakness the public safety, il
Is set aside. This Is just what France is doing
In abollshing dynasty responsible for all our
misfortunes. She has done boldly in the face
of all the world this great act of justice. She
accepts the decree under which all your con-
scripts have been summoned, and in the same
act secures the public safety. To save itself
the nation needs now but to rise en- masse, and
hencefOrth to count on two things 0nly-its own
resolution, which is invincible, and your hero
ism, which has never had an equal, and which,
in the midst Of unmerited reverses, has aston
ished the world. Rally around that glorious
Europe united before us. To-day, as at that
time, the name republic signifies the intimate
union of the army and the people for the de-
fense of the country
