Francis III. &c. &c. &c.
IHAVEgiven peace to nygoodand
faithful PEOPLE. MY refoluyions have
united with their wiihes. | reneun-
ced all hopes of change in the for
tune Of war, to banilh with prompti
tude all the dangers and fuffering to
which my ilourilhing country, and
even the heart Of the monarchy, my
capital and rehdence, were expoled
The facrihces are great and were
viii difficulty wrung from my heart /;
but they could not itand in competi-
ton with the welfare, the domefic
and civil welfare Of millions. For
thefc | made the facrifce and | ex-
pea my indemnifcation in the blef-
iings which are promifed TO my peo-
pie by the return Of peace. | know
no other happinefs than that of my
people and no glory fuperior TO
that Of the father of thefc people,
who in the loyalty, unihaken fideli-
ty, and diiintereiled love to theirSov-
ereign and their country, give place
to no nation in Europe. The fair
fame Of their national character has
exaded an unwilling tribute Of ef-
TEEN, even frcm the enemy but
my heart hey have fixed monument
which time itielf will not be able to
defroy, Under thefe emotions | re-
turned to my reGdence in the circle
Of my loyal and eitimable citizens
and inhabitants, and to the refump-
tion of the direction of my affairs.
The wounds inflicted by the war are
deep /; feveral years may BE- necefary
to heal them and to obliterate the
impreiIions inflicted by the fuferings
of this unfortunate period. The.Ad-
miniitration Of the State has greater,
and duties more difficult than ever
to fulall (; and they will fulfill them, ,
but they have at the fame time ftron-
ger claims than ever upon the CO.
operation on all clafcs, for the lau-
dable Purpofe of reltoring the vigor
of the intention, by eliminating the
true culture of mind, and animating
the indultry in all It's bsanches,
through the reforation and increafe
Of the national credit and by thefe
means to efablilh the monarchy up
on that BATS which the variable fate
of the States of Europe, has render
ed necefary. Every moment of my
life will be directed TO this object,
and devoted to the improvement of
the welfare of the noble and good
people who are dear to me as the
children Of my afe6tion.-United by
the mutual obligations of reciprocal
confidence, and the cordial love of
my fubje6ts, fhall only believe /
have done enough for Auftria as
Prince and father, when its prof
peri;y is again fecured when the
fufferings of the citizens are forgot
ton, and nothing remains alive bnt
the remembrance of my fscrifces,
your fidelity, and your exalted and
unihaken patriotifm.
