| Their Majesties, the Emperor and the King of Prussia, having
heard the wishes and representations of Monsieur, the Count of
Artois, jointly declare that they view the situation in which
the King of France currently finds himself as a subject of
common interest for all of Europe's sovereigns. They hope that
this interest cannot fail to be recognized by the powers from
whom assistance is being requested. Consequently, jointly with
their respective Majesties, they will use the most efficient
means in relation to their strengths to place the King of France
in a position to be totally free to consolidate the bases of a
monarchical government that shall be as amenable to the rights
of sovereigns as it is to the well-being of the French nation.
In this case then, their said Majesties, the Emperor and the
King of Prussia are resolved to act quickly, in mutual
agreement, and with the forces necessary to achieve the proposed
and common goal. Meanwhile, they shall issue their troops the
necessary orders to prepare them for action. |
