Their acts of fuffrage are contained in regifters,. which have been verified and kilo Fulmer examined. There is not a fhadow cf doubt either refpating the (tate, or the number of thole who have put forth their voice, neither as to the 'elghtof each to give his vote, nor as to the tenth of the Issiverfal cartage. Thus, - then, the Senate and =of France unanimnufly agree that the blood APART, fhall henceforth be the Imperial blood ef Phan and that the new throne railed fur NA petsos, and rendered Mutinous by him, (ball never (safe to be poffeffed either by the deicendants of your Majedy, or by thole of the Prin.:Ls, your bro thers. This laL teltimony of the confidence of the peo ple, and of their juftgratitude, ought to be flatter to your Imperial Majetty's heart. It is glorious fora man, who has devoted himfelf, as you have deo., to the welfare of his Peers, to learn that his name alone is fufficient to unite loch a !raft number of men. In this inflame; Sire, the voice of the peo ple is the voice of Gee. No Government can be %ooded on a more inditputable title. The Senate. the Depofitory of this Title has paired a refolution to read itfelf in a body before your Imperial Majef. ty. It comes to difplay the j , y w;th which it is pe metrated, to offer you the ilJeigned tribute of fits felicitations, of its respell, of its love, and to applaud kfelf for the ettj ea of this proceeding, is as much as that coofurnmates what it CXint9Cd from your fore fight, to tranquillife the oil:J(1nel. of all . go 33 Irresehmen, sad to condud into part thz bark oldie Republic. " Yes, Sire, of the Republic ! This word might woad the cars of an ordinary Monare:i. Jive the word k in its proper place hefote him, whole g:nins bas enabled us to enjoy the thing in the fears in which it can eakt ansongfl a great people ; you have done owe than wending the limits of the Republic. for you have eftablitked it on a folid bare. Thanks re the Emperor, of tie Emelt, the confervative principles of the laterals of all, have been introduced into the Government of one, and the ftrength of a Monar cPty founded on a Republic. For forty centunes the goalies, which form of Government is Ina, has been agitated ; for forty czntures pall the Monar chical form of G4rernment has been cunfidered as the chef d' ceuvre of political a irdurn. and the (nit fame harbour for the human mael. But there was one thing wanted, to unite without ague, the ele- Meats of liberty to its unity of power, and the cer tainty of its fucceion. This improvement in the act Of governing, is an ad.ance which NAtOLI6UII at this moment produces in the foetal !ciente. He has laid the foundation of reprett-ntative Rates : he hos not confined Lis views to their prefent ertlence ; he has implanted in them the Seeds of the( iniuir per f.etinr.

Thole, who have ruined them, have enjoyed bin a fatal glory; thole who have faltered them to fai to ruin, are every where objets irk . reproach. Honour to thofe who raiCe them ! They are not only the creators of nation` but they fecure their continuance by laws which be the inheritance of futurity. We owe this crea ture to your Imperial Malay ; and France propor tions the meafore of thofe thanks , wh ic h the Con. fervative Senate now prefents to you in its nam e, to the magnitude of this bleffing. 0 If a pure Republic had been pollible in France, we cannot doubt that you would ha v e wit h ed to have the honour of eltablithing it ; and if it were poflible we floiuld never be exonerated from the guilt of not having propofed it to a man having power fuffic i en t to realile the idea of it ; perfonally great enough not mps to teed a fceptre, and generous enough to facrifice his own interefts to the intercas of his country.— 'Though, like Lycutgus, you Ihnuld have bad to banith yourfaf from that country, which you would have organized, you would not have hefitated. Your profound meditations have been more than once di reeled to this great problem ; but this problem was not to be folved even by your genius. 0 Superficial minds, flruck with the afeendency which fo much (weal and glory fo happily acquir ed for you over the fpitit of the nation, have fancied, that you had it in your power to give it at difcretion a popular Government or a Monarchical Regime. There was no medium : not a foul eased for arif tocracy in France : but the Legiflature ought to take wee fuck as they are, and to give them, not the men pet feet laws that could be devifed. but like Solon, the beg they can bear. Though the chifel of a great artia forms at plealui*out of a block of mar ble, either a tripod or a' god, the body of a nation cannot be modelled on the fame principle. It is true. Sire, that your life is a tifue of prodigies : but though you might have bent the nature of things and the charaller of men to Inch a pitch, as to cafk the mafes of France once into the mould of democrat , this wonder would have been but a tranfient Mull: &cold we have concurred in it, we mould only have forged chains for poflerity. " When our Reprefentatives, placed on the ruins of the throne, believed they could eßablifh a Repub. lk, their intentions were pure : before fad experi ence feinted them from the enchantment. they fut cerely wornsiped that delufire phantom which they took for equality. We can (peak of an error by which we bad been dazzled for a moment. Alas! who could avoid it I The popular torrent hurried along the moll indiferent in fpite of themklves. .. It is (aid, that the ancient Pertians, in order to convince the people of the terrible danger of an abate of liberty. tiled to employ a very extraordinary cul tism : they tiled to inoculate themfelves for a (bout ' time with the plague of political bodies. When any of their Kings died, five days were (pent in anarchy' without authority . or laws Liccntioufnefs was nei ther reftrained then nor puniflied afterwards ;—they . Were five days given up to the fpirit of vengeance, to 1 ezeefe. to violence, in a word, they were five days of revolution. This proof, it is laid, ufed to mak' the people return with much j 46 to fubmiffion to their Prince. 64 After fluatiztitnn more terrible than thofe of a troubled lea, it was thought that an infallible remedy had been difcovered for popular convulfions in a polygarchy. The depot - icing of authority in the hands of many. was better than the abfence or the dif perfion of this authority : but differing fpirits, and uppufite wills could not be included in the fame bo dy, as the Manichean, tiled to place two contrary ' principles at the head of the Univerfe. The Rruggle between theft two ptinciplcs would have annihilated France, if the courfe that has been taken had not been adopted, to return to a more concentrated power. This it is that has confeerated to eternity the epoch of the gth of November. " It is this, Sire, that bring. back and attaches to you fuch of the Republicans whole patriotifm was molt fervent and zealous. They were confirmed in their hatred againft the throne by their attachment to the hateretts of the people and their ardent define of die public good. 'I heir ideas have been realifed only by your Government : out of conceit with their chimera ' and brought back by you to the reality, they arc well convinced that it was impoflible to think fe riontly of eltablithing a Republic, properly fo called, amongfl a people, attached to Monarchy by their want., by indinet. and by the force of a habit, which nothing can overcome. Yes Sire. on this point there is but one fentimcnt—yes, the Government of a tingle perfun is to fo vaR a country what the la sue of Pallas was formerly to the Trtlans—by. being I deprived of it their ruin was accelerated. 66 But dill this is not enough. The unity of the ' Empire is like the humble of twig.. the aggregate of its power ; but, like the twigs of the untied bundle, tie parts world lion be difuntted and broken, if the hereditary focceilion to the aggregate dia not (tears the bond. An order of fucccffinn, previoully deter mined, is the firmed fupport of a Monarchical Go vernment. So, by the eleCtion even which made you Emperor, the Senate and the people have deprived themfelves of the right of eleeting in future, as long as duke glorious lines (ball fulatitt, to which they transfer the exclufive right to the Empire. It is a great depofit of crud. confecrated by the Law of N 5. thins, the neceffity of which has been felt by the na tion, in order to relieve itself from guarding agaioll any omifGon, or the apprehcnfion of troubles in this delegation of its fupreme power. " Amoogft the happy refults of the law of fucceG lion, fuch as the French have jai adopted, the fa. gacity t f the great pe-ple has dittinguithed two prin. opal advantages: flak, that a dynafty railed by li. betty will be faithful to its principle; there is no in flame of a river flowing back to its fource. Belida A new fource of flability for public credit, both in ternally and externally, is to be expelled from a con •ittired tradition in !hit paternal and perpetual Go vcroment. Amongtt foreign nations alto. upon bow much more folid a bale will our alliances be fuppor lcd ? It is a community of interefts, that conflitutes all the bonds of this world; the friends of France being able to rely on her, flue can rely on them ; and this proud country, reinstated in Europe in the rank, ti,,rn which weaknets had Coffered her to fall. will. I.Lucaorth, have it in us power to eseecife a perm *fit infloesee en the report of the nations, and on the peace of the Continent. " As to our enemies. if they perfill in being fo, their defpair tuft redouble in contemplating the fcr s ice they have done us in fpite of them. We have been pt•t upon our guard by their atrocious plots.— As a tall refource they meditated crimes; it was our duty to render them ureters. Thus,then. in every point of view, our happinefs is their work. But, Sire, until their eyes (ball be opened, or our indignant army tball go to punith their perfidy, our blipping( confli. totes their punifhment. What a fpe&acle for them to behold. France that Lame France which they wifhed to lacerate, and which they mull now know to he united round its :Lagoa Chief, poircifing the fame fpirit, forming the fame willies, and tranquilly cele- brating the fettivals which announce the union of li berty, that firft of all moving principles, with this grand confervative fyllem of nations, hereditary mo narchy ! " It was defired previous to the Revolution, that the Chief of a great State like France fhould prostife at his accetEon not to be King of Nobles nor of any other clafs, but the Chief of the Nation, not to main tain ufurped privileges, which in an agricultural country, and among" an indulirious peolde, would neverthelefs deliroy agriculture, and indudry, to en rich with their (polls the accomplices of derpotifro-- but that lie &quid (wear to the people there funda mental articles, there eternal bales - of well regulated focieties " Liberty of Woretip. this &I right of all meta, fince authority can never force coiance.—Equa lity of Rights of all the Citizens, the only rational and poffible equality.—Refpeß for political and civil liberty. without which nations are but herds of Haves, equally indiffefent to the fortune of their maßets. and to their own deftiny.—The inviolable fecurity of property, which forbids above all the levy of ar- bitrary imports, rind permits not any rublidy, dired or indireB, under what name foever, but according to law.—Lallly. the general tendency of his govern. tent, to the fole and primitive end of every govern ment, the uttered, the happineib, and the glory of the people. " This is the form of the oath which your Impe rial Majefty is about to take to the French people ; there are the terms which you have chorea to be a law to ' , andel/ and to your faccetrors. According to circumftances, your Majelly annexes to them an engagement to maintain—The integrity of the territory of the French Republic, which thould con tinue indtvifitde—The acquisition of the national property, which have been the pay of our inde pendence—The fuhlime inftitution of your Legion of Honour, worthy reward of fervices rendered to the country. With there additions, this remark able oath would appear to have been diaated by the whole nation. It is in consideration of this alfo, that the whole nation fwears. fidelity to you. There two oaths correfpond ; they guarantee each other : they are the reciprocal pledges of an indhfolublz alliance ; and amida fo many important views, which will for ever dininguifh the Senatus ConfUltum of the 19th May (28th Floreal), that which cements the whole work ; that which imprints upon it the fear of im mortality, Sire, is the thought of the title of the oathi. _ _ . “ To clofe the charms of the revolution, more than Cardin was neceliftry : according to the pro• found idea of a political author, it was neceffary that a great man thould chore fer; the theatre of his Government and the materials of his glory, the rains of that State, which he might prOpore to new model and re-invigorate. It was neceffary that this man thould be worthy to give his name, and to communi cate his impulfe to a new dynany. It was neeeffary that he Arnold be elevated above his contemporat ies, by their choice, and by their fulTrAges, without oppo fition either from his own countrymen or from fo reigners. In the exilling (late of focieties, the want of being governed is felt, as formerly ; but the means of governing are become more difficult, becaufe their °bled is more extended and complicated. is The Confervative Senate and the French Peo ple affure you, Sire, through my voice, that they are proud of their Emperor. If they have offered you the crown, if they have made it hereditary in your defcendants, and in thofe of your two brothers, it is becaufe there mitts not un earth a man more worthy to bear the keitre of France nor a family more be loved by the French. Gove r ned by Napoleon, or by his fops or his nephews, animated by his fpirit, form ed by his example. in a word, bound by his oath, we, Sire, and our children's childr en, (hall defend, with our lives, this tutelary Government, objea of our pride as of our love, becaufc in it we !hall defend or amid; ear properties, our falai/its, and our honour. ” You have chorea, Sire, as the infcription on our coins thole words, which you jneify : God Irak& Prover." Oh yes ; Gun does protea France, fines hs has created you for her. Father of thy country, in the name of that proteeing Gem, bellow a bleffing on thy children, and relying on their fidelity, be if. fured that nothing can either efface from their minds, or rout out of their hearts, the engagements relish ing from the mutual contrail that - has juft• been en tered into between the French Nation and the lave rial " In the *Mame of the throne, all the great cha rattlers give thensfelves up to failioos. A people is fo much the more to be pitied, the greater the num ber of its ditliaguiffied children ; ail that might con liitute pride of nations becomes then the lcoorge of one. From the moment that a throat is worthily fill ed, eminent virtues have a award ; viz, to approach nearer to it ; and the diflinaion is fu much mare flattering, as more real dignities bear more impofing names. The title of Emperor has ever conveyed the law not of that Royalty before which fubjeas humble and proflrate themfelres, but the great and liberal idea of a firft Magitlrate governing in the name of the law which citizens feel honour in obeying. The title of Senate indicates alfis an affembly of chofen Magiftrates, proved by long labours end venerable for age. The greater the Emperor is, the more auguft ought the Senate to be."

IF would be difficult for us, to-day, to enter into full details, or even to collet particular eircumflances. The weather was peculiarly favourable to the pomp and external magnificence of the proceffion. A fine winter's day, the iley lightly clouded, a flight frnsl, facilitated the full difplay of all the great prepara tions which had been made; and *as equally favour able to thole Who *rude part of the proceffion and to the (pastors. The canine of his Hounds was, as Oral, preceded by an F.ccleftuflic upon a mule, car rying the Papal Crofs. The Holy Father on the way gave the Apoftolical benediaion. and in return, received thofe of gratitude and piety. Their Imperial Majefiies heard continually, during the whole of the proceffion, both before and after the coronation ' the moll animated expreffions of the public will ; which gave a fort of fanaion to this folemn aft. The crowd was every where immenfe, and the greeted order pra vaned. The Senate were yellerday admitted in a body to pay their homage to his Holines, as wasbisenaiDence the Cardinal Archly; Stop of Paris. - .

We cannot yet give our Readers the expeeed de tails of the au*tal ceremony of the Inauguration and Coronation. fhe grandeur of the folensnity, the or der, eclat. and pomp with which they were celebrat ed, have impreffed upon all hearts a deep emotion, which does not leave the mind the requtlite freedom to defcribe, in fo (bort a time, fo magnificent a (pee tacle.
