Firft Cordial, France has acquired at the price of many revere calamities a happyerpzrience; the has learnt that the fpeculations of the wife cannot in the lapfe of a few days complete the cf a great people ; that the heft form'ed theory always leaves in the body politic fomc in conflitencies which human Plretight cannot provide ogaitift. You !taw already done much for liberty, /Ind not leis for ruislic tranquillity, and you are now inverted with the power of exerting yourfelf further for their fupport, as experience !ball point out the neceility. It was not, however, enough to feeate prefent happinels ; it was requi- Er e to provide for the repofe of futurity, by pro el ping for an agitation of power without any • cm:volt - ion, and by this wife providence to place France beyond the reach of thofe periodical con. vullions which gradually deftrny a State. To you it belonged to refolve the grand problem of main• taiiiing with !lability the exigence of nations, by ref - peeling eq•tality, the fit It right and the firft pri viicgt of the French people. Without opening the fiats: to licz:) , .intifnefs, you have preferved to the people the eight of manifefling their will ; with out placing arms at the difpolal of tyranny, you have in framed the Government as to invelt it with the means of reprelling the arts of intrigue aA the machinations of popular ambition. You have given to national teprefentation a more per feet charade:, by attaching the Legifl.ttive Body to the People, of whom they are the conftituted organs. You have given a new exigence to a Settee which, leaning on the one fide to the people repreferaed in the Elcdnral Colleges, finds itfelf on the other in dole conneelion with the heads of the Government ; and by this means you have eiiablithed the title intermediate balance betwixt inhtient power and eflablifhed authority. Firft Conful, the Legillt:t:ve Body, filled with admira tion of there ft) noble labour!, is proud to preft.nt itfelf before you as tie interpreter of the fentiments of the nation. It has confided to you during the duration of your life the care ',of its defliny. It retains along with you two Magitirates, chofen by y,a,r;'elf, will, by the witjoni of their charader and their eltenlive experience, have contributed to alleviate the we;ght of your labours." The Addrefs concludes with the urual common place wiflies of lm-sg lifa, and that when fail of glvry and of days he thniild receive the reward of is virtues; his name, infcribcd in the fir( page of ti:e nnnals of the Confulate, might prefent a grand example to his Inectfrors, and to potterity a fubje& of th profoundelt admiration.

The Archhillion of PAR I S addretred BONAPARTE in the followilg arains of adulation : " General Ord Colifll—Thc applaitles, the joy, the delight te:.ich appear , every life, are the molt eloquent and the molt ~ : e• ag proofs of the love, the con li.knce, the re;p: - , the f lbmidion, with which the whole nation is penetrated for you. They fc,:: the h. p; whit!' they are conflantly about to tniuv under a perpetual Chief, who, covered with glory, and with triumphs, Conqueror and Paciacator of Europe, will be conflantly employed in render ing them more happy and flourilhing by re-eaabinhing among them religion, morality, juf• tice, and good order. The Clergy, penetrated with the fame fcntiments of love and of relpedt, come with ea , -ernefs to lay at your feet their re fpeafiil honiac. They will never forget that it is to your piety and your proration that they owe their exiftence ; that k is to your zeal that they owe the re.eaablifhment of their religion, the ex. ercife and the liberty of their worfhip, the opening of our temples, ancient and venerable monuments of the piety of our fathers. Profoundly touched with gratitude for thcfe benefits fo precious, we come to make thcfe temples refound with fongs of rejoicing, with expreflions of thankfgiving, with prayers, with fupplications for the protection of, your facred perf o n, and for the continuation of glory with which HEAVEN may never ceafe to crown your days !" The Firft Conful replied, "That the fentiments erprefred in the name of the Church of Paris and of a great number of Bifhops of the Church of France, were more dear to the Government in pro portion to the very high efteem in which the ve nerable Archbilhop, who was their organ, was held. The Government took the liberty of re commending to the Bifhops the Archbilhop of Pa ris as their pattern." In the AddrefTes of the Prefelt of the Depart ment of the Seine, the Secretary General of the Council of the PrefeCture, of the Prefident of the Tribunal of Appeal, of the Prefident of the Cri minal Tribunal, of the Prefident of the Tribunal in the Firft Inilance, &c. &c. there was nothing at all remarkable ; they were mere repetitions of flattery conveyed in the coarfell terms. BR tFR e, Prefident of the Commiffaries of Na tional Accounts, in his addrefs exclaims, " Who can better fullain the honour of the French name than a hero celebrated by fo many memorable eon quetts and glorious exploits, which command the admiration of the waiver& ? Who can better fecure the happinefs of France than the Firft Magilirate, who has given new life to the focial body, by te floring to it moral and religious inflitutions, and who has juftified by fo many claims the choice of the nation May HEAVEN witnefs the ardour of our wifhes, and the fincerity of our prayers, to grant you, General Conful, length of years! May we long reckon your happy days by the years of grandeur and profperity, which the wildont of your Government (hail procure more and more for a grateful country !" In the addrefs of HAVY, Prefident of the Na tional Inflitute, there is the following curious par fage Mae who are occupied in fludies which require the greateft accuracy and prccifion, can better appreciate in you that jorinefs of fentiment which marks all your proceedings, which pervades all your difcourfes ; thole fine and wife combina• tions which paved the way for your vielories, and that profound wildom, by the aid of which you feized on the relations which were to connea peace with your triumphs. Thofe. who, devoted to the Rudy of antiquity, ranfack the annals of nations. what the fine arts have done in imroortaliting the fame of h.: .oes, of rages, of fathers of their c o un try, have fern ther titles hitherto ftparated indifferent ages and nations, new all ccneentered in your name. All have found objects, which have each their language, to t:Ciilibe yoor grrat Fiefs." Ite.sr Co' suL faid in his reply, " that he feized wiili pie:llitre this opprtunity to congratu late the Intlitute or. the important work publithed larl year by thcir Prefhlent—a work which would form an epoch in the I. 4 cnce of mineralogy." Citizen liflattaoN, Milliner of tlic Pr ae:tant Re ligion at Paris, and at the head of the Confilloi v of Protellants in that city, began his addirls by raying, " I ittsr CONSUL—the your bcnifits renders Us more and more your ckbtors, for we fee that nothing good, that nothing great is above you. Others, after lb many labours, atter fo mui.li fuceefs, would have alpired only after repofe. Yout country lays to von, at an age when the generality of mortals are but MI entering on the c;:r'.ec ot glory, you have fulfilled every hope, but you have not exl:aittled them. I requite the devotion of your whole life. Ought not your country to be immortal as your name ?" The aufwer of the F►RST Cotoy I. to the addrefs of (7 era 1 Mn T tEß,cemm and in g the firlimilitary diviiion, is very remarkable. He Pays, "that the liability and the ltrength of the Government can alone give any faurioy to tbe fluation of the army, to guarantee to its defenders the rewards which they have merited, and, in (port, to maintain in the fineft army in Europe that fpirit which leads to victory, which renders it at once In dear to ,the people, and In formidable to their enemies." General Jr Nor, Commander of the National Guard, fpoke as follows :—" General Conful, the Officers of the Staff, the Chiefs of Battalion, and the Adjutants reprelenting the National Guard of Paris, exprefs through me their willies for your happinefs, and their gratitude for the peace which, after having conquered, you now confolidate by acceptinl the Chief Magillracy for life. They charge . me to affure rnu, and it is particularly grat , ÷tl to me to add my fentiments to theirs, that if for the profperity of the French nation you have confented to accept the Conful(hip for life, there is no.. one of us who would not give up his life for the FIRST CONSUL." In the Mandamus of the Arehhifhop of Paris relative to the•proceedings of this day, we remark (nth-twiny. naffave I'hi• day France pro- The head r.F a nation is, from his r (See, conneged ith each individual, and good laws arc more dclirable than gold, and fwceter than honey.' It is on this account that we molt earneftly call you to the foot of the fared altars, to offer up to the ALMIGHTY due thanks for fuch fignal Wettings. We call you thither to offer up your ardent prayers for preferving the precious life of our FIRST Con. that yon may exclaim, in the pretence of the molt Holy of Hoiies, as did the Hebrews in times of old—rivat Scl,mne! that yon may earneftly pray, as St. Paul recommends, for all thole in authority over us, in order that we may quietly pats our lives in all godlinees and chaftity.' We call you thither in older to place under the power ful fandlion of the GOD of our Fathers, the laws which guarantee the liability of the Republic and fecurc the happinefs of Frenchmen : for men pals away, but the laws are immortal. The (late ever fttbfilts, and the merit of thofe who have ferved it is immortal as the laws themfelves." Cardinal CAPRAxA celebrated a folemn mats yeflerday in tie church of Notre Dame, during which he confecrated M. FESCH, uncle of the Firft Conful, arclibilhop of Lyons. Madame Bo- SAFARTI, mother of the Firft Conful, was prefent at this ceremony, which attraacd gib great con courfe of people. This day at eleven in the morning, the Mem bers of the Adminiarative Authorities of the de partment of the Seine and of the city of Paris, I met at the Prefeaurate of the department, to repair thence to the Palace of Government. At four in the afternoon, the fame Authorities again met at the Prefedurate of the department, to affift in the metropolitan church of Notre Dame, at the T. Dean:, which was channted by the Archbifhop ' of Paris. The Tribunal of Appeal, Criminal Tri bunal, Tribunal of Commerce, and the Jullices of Puce of the Twelve Arrondiffements of Paris, were prefent at this religious ceremony. At (even in the evening a brilliant flar was difplayed on the fumnsit of the towers of Notre Dame ; in the centre of which appeared Virgo, the fign of the zodiac, correfponding to the istit of Augull, the birth-day of the Firft Coati]. At half after (even the Palace of the Prefe&n. rate, Place Vendome, the former Hotel de Ville, the chief place of each of the twelve Municipalities, the Market Hall, and other communal ellablifh ments, and the eight columns of the portal of la Magdelaine, were illuminated. The end of the Pont Neuf was decorated with a fub-bafement bear ing a pedeflal, on which was placed the flatue of Peace, voted by the Senatus-Confultum of Ther midor 14. An artificial fire work, confining of one piece, was let off behind the name. At nine o'clock two other fireworks were difplayed at the fame hour ; one in the place of the former Hotel de-Ville, and the other from the Efplanade of the Champs Elyfees.

The Minifter of the Interior has dirthed the Freed to guard the pub lic mind againft thefe unfounded reports, and to affure the trade, that the French Government place the intereft of the national induftry among their firft duties; the exertions of that indultry thall be conftantly protected, and it fhall no longer fee before it any thing but difficulties removed, encouragements to profit by, and rewards to merit. Let it ceafe then to believe abfurd reports, and let it at length do juftice to Government ; the hand that commanded vietory will know how to make induftry flouri(h, and our manufadures fhall not be fact ificed to uncertain combinations, and to a fyftem of negotiation, the chances of which timid not have been calcnlated with advantage.
