10 n. De Chesnelong, one OF the delegation
from the Right which recently waited on
him. The Count says misspprehensions
have arisen tending to obscure his policy,

whole truth to the country. He is askef II
sacrifice bis honor. He emphaticaly
clares be retracts nothing, cdftails nothing
of bis previous declarations of yesterday for
the shadow of what would be exacted TO-
morrow. He cannot inaugurate strong
reign BY an act of weakness. He energeti-
cally refuses to retinguish tne
white flag. He Indignantly repels
insinu atoms that be mistrjists the valor OF
the soldiers. On the contrary, be seeks to
confide to them all he holds dear. be lg-
nores none of bis country's gories and coz

the insurance of law, order and prosperity.
Especially should we not fear to employ
force 10 the service Of order and

personality is nothing; principle is every
thing. France will see an end to her troub
les when she understands this. l am the
necessary pilot, alone capable OF guiding her
into port, because l have the mission of au-
thority. France cannot perish because
Christ still loves her."
