u of the war indemnity and will receive

e made to the disasters of the late war, TIN
" cruel ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the country ant
y the frightful burden it had to bear in tn
% establishment of the Republic. All thes
F. things suddenly bursting upon surprised
v and disheartened country might have re

n An appeal is made to Republicans no
to spare even excessive sacrifices for orde
n in their own interests. Events have givel
II them the Republic. The Republic exist

- lead to the most terrible revolution.
% The President deprecates formal proc
lamation of Republic by the Assembly
The better policy would be to impress o.
# the institutions of the country the feature
of conservative republicanism. The Re
!, public must he conservative; otherwise
- can not exist. The absolute need of tn
Republic is repose. The mass might liv

the sad and humliating journey from al
archy to despotism and from despotism
, anarchy,
IS The slightest fault is sufficient to wrec
rt the republic of France. An orderly an
strong government inspires confidence
:, foreign powers who desire above all jus
~ equilibrium in France. If she chooses M
e toisolate herself she may become surrount
Vi ed by trusting and useful friends. To I'll
'e' Assembly is left the construction of col
IL stitutonal measures. The decisive NOV
az ment has arrived for the work. The Pres
eI dent promises Difference, cooperation an
oI devotion, and concludes by invoking &c
III to bless the work of the Assembly an
w, render complete and durable cOnsumm
III ton which has not been attained sim
~ the commencement. The message W;
III well received by the Left. Kerdrell,
Nv whom it gives great satisfaction, move
la' the appointment of n commission to dra
as up IA reply. The motion was agreed to
ice '' a small majority. 1t is thought the Pres
80 dents message will lead to an early dissol
Nv ton of the Assembly.
