Spaniards wliich.Iie endeavours to 

 compeasate.hy. diminishing, as far 

 as it is coi^sistent with his royal 

 splendour, the expencesof his court 

 and household, to prevent the ne- 

 cessity of laying on mo'e taxes. 



This conduct of their majesties^ 

 their paternal assiduity, and the 

 king's unremittintj attention to the 

 dispatch of all public business, and 

 particularly in the strict administra- 

 , tion of justice, merit a very extra- 

 Jftrdinary recompense on your part. 

 TLet >is imitate his indifatig-able vi- 

 ^ance, let us follow his iilustrioi^a 

 example, in endeavouring to pro- 

 mote the public welfare, and let 

 CYeiy one perform his respective 

 duties, by which means we shall re- 

 store and re-establish the public 

 happiness. 



Let the upright intentions of their 



- majesties be propitious to yourtran- 



quillity, and there will not be a 



single subject vvho will not reap the 



greatest benefit^. 



I beg from you, my dear coun- 

 trymen, to consider well vvliat I have 

 just said, and I hope you will find 

 my expressions equally sincere, in- 

 telligible, and true. My only ob- 

 ject is to preserve your tranq\iillity, 

 and to excite your indignation 

 against a troop of banditti that at- 

 tempt to disturb you : if I succeed 

 in thaf, you will see in a few days 

 the fruit of niv dispositions. Co- 

 operate with me, and you will very 

 soon procure the recom.pense of 

 yo.ur fatigues. 



Our reli^iion will contribute to 

 our glorious triumpli, God will pro- 

 tect his holy law, and I will uot 

 aease to mvokc his assistance.

 was ;igreed by the resolution of the , 

 23d November 1792, to carry into 

 effect the ^riple augmentation by all 

 the states of the empire j that all ^ 

 efforts should be united as soon as .•
