Proclamation issued by Eugene 

 Napoleon, Arch-Chancellor of 

 State of the French Empire, 

 Viceroy of Italy, Prince of Ve- 

 nice, and Commander in Chief 

 of the Army of Italy to the Peo- 

 ple of the Tyrol ,- dated Head 

 Quarters, Villach, Oct. 26tk, 

 1809. 



Tyroleans ! Peace is concluded 

 between his majesty the emperor 

 of the French, king of Italy, Pro- 



tector of the confederation of the 

 Rhine, my august father and so- 

 vereign, and his majesty the em- 

 peror of Austria. 



Peace therefore prevails every 

 where, except among you— you 

 only do not enjoy its benefits. 



Listening to perfidious sugges- 

 tions, you have taken up arms 

 against your laws, and have sub- 

 verted them, and now you are ga- 

 thering the bitter fruits of your re- 

 bellion ; terror governs your cities ; 

 idleness and misery reign in you ; 

 discord is in the midst of you ; and 

 disorder every where prevails. His 

 majesty the emperor and king, 

 touched with your deplorable situ- 

 ation, and with the testimonies of 

 repentance which several of you 

 have conveyed to his throne, has 

 expressly consented, in the treaty 

 of peace, to pardon your errors and 

 misconduct. 



I then bring you peace since I 

 bring you pardon. But I declare 

 to you, that pardon is granted you 

 only on the condition that you re- 

 turn to your obedience and duty, 

 that you voluntarily lay down your 

 arms, and that you offer no resist- 

 ance to my troops. 



Charged with the command of 

 the armies which surround you, I 

 come to receive your submission, 

 or compel you to submit. 



The army will be preceded by 

 commissioners appointed by me to 

 hear your complaints, and to do 

 justice to the demands you may 

 have to make — But know that these 

 commissioners can only listen to 

 you when you have laid down your 

 arms. 



Tyroleans! If your complaints 

 and demands be well founded, I 



hereby
