In the European op . mon a Rot . sian is nothing el . e but a vile iMtramont of conquest m the hnndof the most odious and dang . rous despotism .

      = GentUmen . it is not in order to dfsoulpate Russia of the crimen of which she is accused , it is not in order to deny ' truth , that I n * ce « d this ro » lrum . ^ I dont wish to attempt an impossibility . Truth becomes now wore than over a necessity for my country . Well , vcfl , wo are stilt n people of elavrs ! With no liberty no respect for human dignif . It is a hideeus dCRBOtiBtn . without any stop in its caprices ., without any limit in its notion . No right * , no juslies , ne shelter from tyranny ; we huro nothing of what constitutes the digyity and pride of nations . It is impossible to imBgiKB n mnro unfortunate and humiliating position .

      Abroad , our position is not less deplorable .

Overwhelmed by numbers , you at last fell . But the revolution of this eternally memorable epoch remained inscribed in bright characters on yonr hearts . You camo from this war quito regenerated ; f « generated and strong , armed against the temptations of m ' sfortune , ngainat the sufferings of exile ; full of pride for your past , full of hopes for your futurity J The annlversary of the 29 . h of November , gentlemen , is not only

      a great remembrance for you , it is also o warrapt for yourspeody deliverance , -foi a speedy return to your country . ( Applause . ) Por me , ns a Russian , it Is the anniversnry . of a shame , —yes , of a great national shame ! 1 declare it loudly : tho war of 1831 was on onr part an absurd , criminal , fratricide war . It wag not only an unjust attack upon n neighbouring people , but a mongtrous attempt against the liberty of a brother . It was uven more , gPHtlenun ; on the part of my country it tree a political suicide . ( Applause . ) This wnr was under , taken for tho inter * st of despotism , and by no means for that of the Russian nation , because fhrso two interests are opposed to each othc-r .
