1811 (The Restoration of Social Order): The Council of State credited the “tutelary genius” and brilliant valour of the supreme magistrate for restoring order and discipline across the army and the fleet. With conspiracies suppressed and justice having resumed its course, the government observed that cultivation and commerce had finally begun to flourish once more. They viewed this period of internal tranquillity as the “happy occasion” for perfecting the national institutions that had only been “roughly commenced” in 1807. The Council declared that the time had come to move beyond temporary measures and establish a permanent government that could ensure the continuity of these successes. This narrative framed the transition to monarchy as the logical reward for the King’s successful stabilization of the country.
