Minister of War, as follows:
When you by the law of November 90.
last delivered the executive power into my
hands for seven years, you intended 10
afford to the public Interests that security
which precarious institutions are powerless
to give.
| for the frlf lment Of which, am accounts
| BILE to France, and from which can. in NO
case, be permitted to withdraw. 1t also
conferred rights which shall never exer
cise except for the good of the country.
Your confidence rendered my power IT
| revocable, forestalling woes on constltu-
| ticnal bills. In according them, you your
selves enchained your sovereignty. Ishal
employ the means with which l am armed
| BY law to defend my power.
This course am convinced is in accord
ance with the expectations and will OF the
Assembly. which, when il placed me at the
head of the government, intended to create
a strong, stable and respected power, but
the law of November 20 must be completed;
the Assembly can not mediate tearing up
it's engagements. Let it permit me to press
ingly remind it of the claims for fulfllment
OF that engagement
The country demands an organization OF
of the public powers, and questions which
were reserved must be settled. Further
delays will depress trade and hamper the
prosperity Of the country. l hope the
Assembly shall not fail to patriotically
fulfill its obligations. l adjure it. in the
name of the highest interests Of the coun
try, to deliberate without delay upon the
questions on which it must no longer re
main in suspense.
The Assembly and government are jointly
responsible.
l am desirous of accomplishing all my
duties, and my most imperative duty.
In the Assembly.

to the Assembly for permission to prosecute
NJ. Rouher is confirmed. 1t is asserted tha
two other deputies are equally compre
missed. The examination into the proceed
ings of the Central Bonapartist COmmitte
