delivered the following address:
Monseigneur, on tho unexpected death of your august
father, the LeRitimists Of France. OF whom we arc tho
representatives venture to lay at your feet their homage
and their tribute of regret, and to hail you as the heir to
their Kings. In point of fact in spite OF tho ties which
unite you to your beloved Spain where 50 many faithful
are awaiting you and calling upon you, our time. honored
law compels us to como to you directly. The abdication
of your august father had made you King of Spain. His
death makes you King of France. But Providence does
not offer you two crowns neither does it offer you
two thrones. Providence calls upon you to

most devoted to God and the King. While your previous
declarations unfortunately hardly allow US to entertain
a hope that you will personally vindicate your rights,
nevertheless we are persuaded that you will consider 1t
a duty to assert them. and to reserve those OF the other
Princes of the elder branch Of Bourbon. The strength
and vitality of our old Sale law will thus be proved once
more, ana we shall await with confidence the day when
