Conclufion

FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1753.

Conclufion of the Remonftrance of the Parlia-
ment of Paris, to the French King. (See
P. 95, 96.)

T

HAT the evocations and prohibitions relating to the judiciary forms, can ftill lefs be executed, when brought to parliament without the antient and refpectable marks of the royal authority, and not fealed with the great feal. That thefe forms are a part of the laws and constitution of the kingdom.

That the private orders which the clergy have often obtained furreptitiously from their fovereign's equity, furnish them with means to propagate and continue the fchifm, to become independent of the authority of the laws, and to fecure to each of them an arbitrary dominion over his majefty's fubjects.

That these were the motives of the representations which the occafion, the circumstances, and the object of the king's orders obliged his parliament to make to him the 3d of January: That the first prefident, who only carried to him the refult of his parliament's deliberations, would have been reprehenfible, and culpable towards his majefty, had he concealed from him what it was his intereft to know, and the duty of his parliament to lay before him.

That the parliament, who refpect the exercife of the fupreme power when lodged in a monarch of fo great wisdom and equity, cannot, however, forbear reprefenting to him, that the multiplicity of his private orders, which extend to all cafes, alarms his people, and tends to leffen their affection to their fovereign : That the application of thefe orders being left to the clergy, they will perhaps be by them made ufe of to enslave the people.

That this employing authority in matters of religion, which is fo contrary to the fpirit of it, was never fo frequent as with regard to the Bull Unigenitus: That the object of all these orders has been the oppofition made to an indeterminate decree, which, by its very nature, whatever interpretation be given it, can never authorise the abuse made of them by fome ecclefiafticks.

This abufe has been carried fo far, as to interdict in his majesty's name, to ecclefiafticks the exercife of their functions and legal rights, to divines preaching, to archdeacons vifitation, to canons attendance at their choirs and chapters, to fecular and regular communities the right of electing; and to exclude from the univerfities and other bodies a confiderable number of their members, who were capable of fupporting the true maxims of 5

197 the kingdom, and forming able ministers for the fervice of the church, and faithful fubjects of the state.

That a great number of curates in different diocefes have been taken from their parishes, nuns from monafteries, and subjects of all ranks deprived of their just liberties: That they fhall enter into a detail on this fubject, capable of informing the king of the nature, multiplicity, and confequences of the orders which have been furreptitiously obtained from his majefty's equity.

That the employing authority, in cafes like the prefent, fomented the ancient troubles which fo long laid waste the church and state; and that his majesty's predeceffors having more than once difcovered abuses of their equity, lefs important than the prefent, with no less dignity than justice immediately remedied them.

That in the prefent conjuncture the new progrefs of diffenfion in church and ftate, requires, more than ever, that his majefty employ the only means to ftop it, which confift in the indisputable rights of the royal authority, the execu tion of the laws, and the indispensable and continual activity of his parliament, the depofitory and effential minifter of them; that to ftop its proceedings would be to annihilate it, and give the most fatal blow to the church, the royal prerogative, and the state.

The following was contained in an extract of a letter from Berlin.

Letter from the King to M. Voltaire, dated
March 16, 1753.

It was needless to take a pretext from the occafion, which, you fay, you have to drink the waters of Plombieres, in order to demand your difmiffion. You may quit my fervice whenever you think fit; but before you depart, return me the contract of your engagement, the key, the crofs, and the volume of poems which I have entrusted you with. I could wish that my works only had been exposed to your reflections and thofe of Koenig. I freely abandon them to thofe who imagine they enhance their reputation by leffening other mens. I have neither the folly nor the vanity of certain authors. The cabals of men of letters are, in my opinion, the difgrace of literature; however, it does not leffen my esteem for all honest cuitivators of learning: The chiefs of the cabals are the only perfons that are vile in my fight. Whereupon I pray God to take you into his holy keeping, &c.
