tional Assembly, of the department,» 
of the district, of the municipality, 
and of the national guards of Paris, 
justices of peace, and others whom 
it) may concern ;,and their Imperial 
and Royal Majesties farther declare, 
on their faith and word of Emperor 
and King, that if the palace ofthe 
Thuilleries be: forced or insulted; 
if the least violence be offered, the 
least outrage done to their Majes- 
ties the King, the Queen, and the 
royal family ; if they be not imme- 
diately placed in: safety and set:at 
liberty, they will inflict on those 
who shall deserve it the most exem- 
plary and ever memorable aveng- 
ing punishments, by giving up the 
city of Paris to military execution, 
and exposing it to total destruction; 
and the rebels,who shall be guilty 
of illegal resistance shall suffer the 
punishments which they shall have 
deserved.—Their Imperial andRoy- 
al, Majesties promise on the con- 
trary, to all the inhabitants of the 
city of Paris to employ their good 
offices with his Most Christian Ma- 
jesty to procure for them a pardon 
for their insults and errors, and to 
adopt the most vigorous measures 
for the security of their persons and 
property, provided ‘they speedily 
and strictly conform to the above 
injunctions. 
. Finally, Their Majesties, not be- 
ing at liberty to acknowledge any 
other Jaws in France except those 
which. shall be. derived from the 
King when at full liberty, protest 
beforehand against the authenticity 
of all kinds. of declarations which 
_may’be issued in the name of the 
Ef King,'so long as his sacred person, 
and 
that of the Queen and, the 
Princes of the whole royal, family, 
shall not bé in full safety » and with 
this view their Imperial and Royal 
Majesties invite and entreat his 
Majesty to name a town in his 
kingdom, ‘nearest to the’ frontiers, 
to which he would wish to remove, 
together with the Queen and the 
royal family, under a strong and 
safe escort, which shail be sent for 
that purpose; so that his Most 
Christian Majesty may, in perfect 
safety, send for such ministers and 
counsellors as he shall be pleased 
to name, order’such, convocations 
as he shall think proper, and pro- 
vide for the restoration of order and 
the regular administration of his 
kingdom. |. 
In fine, [ declare and promise in 
my own individual, name, and in 
my above quality, to cause to be 
truly observed everywhere, by the 
troops under my command, good 
and strict discipline, promising to 
treat with mildness and moderation 
those well-disposed subjects who 
shall submit peaceably and quietly; 
and to employ force against those 
only who shall be guilty of resist- 
ance, or of manifest evil intentions. 
I therefore call upon and expect 
all the inhabitants of the kingdom, 
in the most earnest and forcible 
manner, not to make any opposition 
to the troops. under my command, 
but rather to suffer them every- 
where to enter the kingdom freely, 
and to afford them all the assistance, 
and shew them. all the benevelence 
which circumstances may require.
