STATE PAPERS. 
nour to communicate to his Ex- 
cellency the Duke of Richelieu, 
the new Treaty of Alliance which 
they have signed in the name and 
by the order of their august So- 
vereigns: a Treaty, the object of 
which is to give to the principles 
consecrated by the Treaties of 
Chaumont and Vienna, the appli- 
cation most analogous to present 
circumstances, and to connect the 
destiny of France with the common 
interests of Europe. 
The Allied Cabinets regard the 
stability of the order of things hap- 
pily re-established in that country, 
as one of the essential bases of a 
solid and durable tranquillity. To 
that object their united efforts have 
constantly been directed, and their 
sincere desire to maintain and con- 
solidate the result of those efforts, 
has dictated all the stipulations of 
the new Treaty. His Most Chris- 
tian Majesty will in that act re- 
cognize the solicitude with which 
they have concerted the measures 
most proper for removing whatever 
might hereafter compromise the 
internal repose of France, and 
prepared remedies against the 
dangers with which the Royal 
Authority, the foundation of pub- 
lic order, might yet be menaced. 
The principles and intentions of 
the Allied Sovereigns are in this 
respect invariable. Of this, the 
engagements which they have 
now contracted, furnish the most 
unequivocal proof; but the most 
lively interest they take in the 
satisfaction of his Most Christian 
Majesty, as well as in the tran- 
quillity and prosperity of his 
kingdom, induces them to hope 
that the occurrences provided 
against in these engagements will 
never be realised.

The Allied Cabinets perceive 
the first guarantee of this hope in 
the enlightened principles, mag- 
nanimous sentiments, and personal 
virtues of his Most Christian Ma- 
jesty. His Majesty has recognised 
with them that in a State which 
has, during the quarter of a cen- 
tury, been torn by revolutionary 
movements, it does not belong to 
force alone to re-produce calm in 
the minds, confidence in the hearts, 
and equilibrium in the different 
parts of the social body ; and that 
wisdom must be joined with vigour, 
and moderation with firmness, in 
order to operate these happy 
changes. Far from fearing that 
his Most Christian Majesty will 
ever lend an ear to imprudent or 
passionate counsels, tending to 
nourish discontents, renew alarm, 
reanimate hatred and divisions, the 
Allied Cabinets are completely 
assured by the equally wise and 
generous dispositions which the 
King hasannounced inall the epochs 
of his reign, and particularly at that 
of his return after the late criminal 
usurpation. They know that his 
Majesty will oppose to all the ene- 
mies of the public welfare and 
tranquillity of his kingdom, under 
whatever form they may present 
themselves, his attachment to the 
constitutional laws promulgated 
under his own auspices; his will, 
decidedly pronounced, to be the 
father of all his subjects, without 
any distinction of class or religion; 
to efface even the recollection of 
the evils which they have suffered, 
and to preserve of past times only 
the good which Providence has 
caused to arise, even amidst public 
calamities. It’is only thus that the 
wishes formed by the Allied Cabi- 
nets, for the preservation of the 
constitutional
