STATE PAPERS, 
about to decide upon your fate, by 
pronouncing upon your constitu- 
tion. Long has the country loudly 
called for a free government, the 
_wisdom of whose principles should 
be the guarantee of its duration. 
Have your repfesentatives at- 
tained this end? They think they 
have—they have at least desired to 
attain it. Citizens, who lave order 
and tranquillity, accept the pledge 
of it: it consists in the government 
that is offered to you; that alone, 
by giving us peace, can restore 
prosperity and plenty. 
Men of France, citizens of ail 
professions, of all opinions, rally 
for the interest of the country. 
Above all, do not make retrograde 
ateps to the point from which you 
set out. Ages have passed within 
six years: and though the people 
may be tired of revolution, they 
are not tired of liberty. You suf- 
fer, it is true, but it is not by 
making fresh revolutions—it is by 
completing that which is begun 
that you will terminate your mise- 
ries, 
No, you will not impute ¢o the
