What is to be hoped from the success of manoeuvres carried on with foreigners, in order to restore the authority of the throne?
They will give to the king the appearance of a violent usurpation of the rights of the nation.

The same force which would have served this violent restoration would be necessary to maintain it.

It would produce a permanent civil war.

Attached as we are to the interests of the nation, from which we shall never separate those of the king, we think that the sole means by which he can alleviate the evils that threaten the empire and the throne, is to identify himself with the nation.

Renewed protestations are useless; we must have deeds.
Let the king abandon every idea of increased power offered to him by the succour of foreigners.
