THE Legiflnive Body has changed it* place, with a view to its better proceeding. Is the Repu lie also to change its position for the bettei ? Shall we persevere in our old errors, or shall we have the courage to conftfs and repair them ? Shall we conti nue to refpe# those prejudices which have milled our legislation, and our governmeut? Shall we find the wisdom to conceive, and therefore to aft, upon grand a«id liberal ideas, on solid principles, and on durable bails of facial organization? We w:'(h for the Republic—we wish for Liberty—wt wish for a Representative Go vernment. Since the year 1789. we have been fighting at home and abroad, we have been lavifliiog our fortunes and our lives, in crder to obtain these objects. We have ■ot, as yet, bad ltgiflarorj 'who could fill our hopes We are thin day to f«ek a Constitution, ar.d we can only find a code, shapeless, obfeure, and without a guarantee. We have had for rulers, men without talents, or without principles; cruel with out energy, ambitious without greatness, and prodigal only through avarice; sur rounded by passions and crimes, which they had out the ceurage to reprefa or puuilh ; they could only arm one party agdinft the other ? and the people thus continually agi tated by their wavering politics, could oply change their oppressors and the : r mifcries. In 1789, ths Constituent Assembly, after being courageous against despotism, proved weak. as»ainft the factions. After (hewing themselves greatly calm on the departute of the King, June 1791, some of them were seduced by his agents after his return; others were intimidated by the clamois of a club ; and from this mass of probity and intelli gence, there 1 roceeded only a work with out solidity—a weak abortion, which bore within it the feeds of its approaching de ftiu&ion. The work of 1*793, ths execrable code of anarchy, only struck terror into France, to which it was the presage of every crime. At length came the <;onltitntion of the 13d year, (1795. which now exists no longer) for how could that maintain itfelf, which created a Legislative Body, which mull of necefluy, either govern or be opprefled by the Direftory ! The Republic, in the 4th or sth years was maintained by the vi&ories of our ar mies, and particularly by those of Buona parte in Italy. It was on the eve of perill ing in the 6th year through intrigue* of the Royalists. Then the Legislative Body, misled and leceived by some of those conspirators, was ibout to overturn the Dire&ory. It was aved, however, by the 18th Fru&idor ; 3111 in saving the Dire&ory, the 18th Fruftidor annihilated the constitution. It did mifchief to society at large by the (hock which it give to the representative system. It did to France an injury not yet repaired, by deflroying all refpeft for the constitu tional code, which in this instance, had been i trampled upon wilt impunity. From that mon-ent all the dispositions of tkiscode have been either artfully elud«d, or audaciously violated. The Executive Diredtory fafh ii>m.d their condu£i ori the model ot abfo -1 ate power, and created coafpiraciei only to exircife their authority ill jeprefling ot ex- j tinguilhing the n. Their odious wavering policy was inceilantly kept in play, and by ttiis they contrived to precipitate into the fame abyss, not merely the aftual royalifta, and the leslterrorifls, but all thofi who had incurred their hatred, and whom they ranged alternately under one or the other of those defcriptionj. It was thus that political liberty was de stroyed ; reprefentativet and citizens were arbitrarily placed upon the life of the pro scribed, at the didlates of hatred and preju dice. It was thus, that on the 2zd Floreal, the choice of the people was outrageouQy rejeSed. It was thus that in c mtempt of the principles of a Representative Govern ment, the Diredlory appointed, with the members chosen by fciflons in the primary assemblies, wiiich fciflons they had them felvei provoked, and with a fmali number of boned and enlightened men who had tmly served their country, and whom they did not dare to reje<3, all those on whose servility or imbecility they could rely for the easier fubjeftion of the two councils. It was thus that in the year 7, the Direc tory sent to their Com niflaries in the de partments lids of thole ivho were to be elect ed, and money to pay for the choice of thofi whom they had commanded. It was thus that, in despite of civil liberty, the right of banifhnvnt was fuffered to reft with the Di rectory against the Journalists, the Pretls, and all thole who had the mistortuno to dii pleale them. It was thus that tlie prisons received, kept, and devoured a number of victims, confined in dungeons, without knowing their accusers, and who demanded in vain that judgment, which the Coriftitu tion orders that thry ihould have within twenty four hours. It was thus that the power of inferibing names on the lifl of emi grants was abftilutcly decreed to the DireCj tory ; and that even the name of an Arnbaf- | j fador was there inferibed, merely because he j hid c!i(pical'ed one of our tyrants, by refuting [to trawl before hiin. It was thus tint, not withstanding the laws of the Constitution refpe fling the Treafuiy, the principles of 1 order, and the refponAbility of all the bran che» of its Adniniftrauon, have b.en viola ted, the mod scandalous waste has been pradlifed to any flatterers and villains, bro kers and valets. It was thus that Judges, the guarantees of property, and the Admin} iftrator* defied by the people, have been un ceasingly changed or removed, on till de nunciation of knaves, or by the ambition of fools. It was thus the bravest officers were stripped of their rank, removed flnmefully : from their places, and conflgned to misery; ! as a return tor the blood which they had shed in the f-rvice of their country. It was ! thss that, by progreflive imposts, the right of property was violated, though confecratcd by the Conftitutiorial Code, always invoked, yet always outraged. It was thus that every year saw a bankruptcy come forward under the title of an arrear of debt ; and that the Dirfftory were fuffcred to annihilate as a power the obligations they iiad contraded as a party. It was thus that the unfortunate Annuitants were compelled to beg in vain their fubtiHence #t the gate, of the Treafnry, which was exhausted by dilorder and tolly. It wa." thus that civil war was provoked by the dcteftable law of Hofhges, which pu nishes the innocent for the crimes which they could not pofli'oly prevent, and by which the Government leemed to revenge upon the Nation its own wi«t ef power to protefl h acjainft robbers. It is by these culpable vi olations of the Constitution that the coa lesced Kings frcftS without, and their Agents within our territory, have been enabled to push the Republic to the very last degree of diforgariization.of misfortune, and of guilt.- It is thus, in Tine, that we arc left without a Conllttution or a Government. We with for both the one and the other. Wife men, brave men, whose union we ap plaud. Sieyes and Buonaparte—will you give us these, and, when you have given them, will you adore them unto us ?—lf filch is your resolution, begin to execute it. The whole people will surround y«m,during'your labors, with power, and with refpedl. They will reward you with tneir gratitude and cf tecm, when those labors arc brought to a clnfe. France willies for something great and durable. It is ir.ftability that has ruined her ; (he now calls upon you For something fixed and fettled. She does not aik for Royalty, for that is proscribed ; but she willies f»r unity of attion in the power wl ich is to ex ecute the laws—She wilhes for a Legisla tive Body, free and independent, but without the spirit of jealoafy or of usurpation. She wilhes that the Reprefentativet may protest, without agitating the Nation. She wilhes that they may be peaceable protett«rs, not turbulent innovators. She willies, in fine, to gather the fruits of ten years of fucrifice —(lie wilhes for Liberty and Peace. Do what u neceffarjr to enj'urc these to France, and glory await* yeu at the end of your career.
