PARIS, MA RC :M.—Yesterday his Majesty the Emperor and King being sealed on his Throne, surrounded by the Princes, Urinal Distnitarie , , &c. received a Deputation from the Legislative Body. The Count de Mentesqnien, the President of the Legisla tive Body, presented his Majesty the following Address:: StnE—Your faithful snlijects, the Deputies from the Depart ment of Legislative Body, have charged us to lay at the foot of the Pima', this new bulimic of their gratitude and their fidelity. Wsilst great political interests detained your Majesty so far distant -limo your States, you were always present to their thoughts: they associated themselves by their wishes, and those noble tabours of winch their chidren partook the honour and the perils. On this day, us then, all our hearts are responsive to your own ; and it shall be said, that our triumphs were suspended; only. to shewl in a stronger light, the energy of your character—the extent of our resources — and our coutidence in your Majesty. Yes, Sire, the People of this• vast empire, formerly divided by manners and interest, united by honour and fidelity, arc no longer rivals, but- in zeal.and devotion to yrtir Majesty. Repelling even the idea of•a peace which might stain the national honour, every sacrifice will be- disregarded by them to maintain the integrity of their territory—that of their allies.. —flue preponderance ysn have acquired • for thein-sand to conquer a slorions peace, the only one worthy of Fren> hmen . and of your.. lajesty. The Legislative Body is happy and proud in being interpreters of a goneroas nation, which will always give you assist ance unbounded ; but there is none to the gratitude et ith which it is inspired to all von'.

In effect, the great progress made in-Agriculture and in the Arts, those immense works which have opened new roads foe corn metre and embellish our cities with masnificent monuments—the creation of a numerous and skilful marine—the maintaining that sys tem offinance, emexampled till our days, and worthy of serving as a model for fiiture ages, are so many benefits bestowed by yohr ILt jesty upon your People. We trace in our provinces all these won ders performed in the midst of the greatest warlike preparations: vie evil! tell them, that the wants or the trey-try and the army are pro vided for without any fresh impost being laid on them. Tranquil respecting the present, we do not for the future tear those turbu lent minorities, in which the partition of authority, and the uncer tainty of their rights, should lead us, as in tOrmer epochs, to dread civil troubles. The order of the ltegeneY is fixed, as well as that of the succession; and the heart of a mother will be the faithful guard 01 her child, and of this groat family, Of which the Monarchy is al ways the emblem. Thus will the tutelary Government, so dear to to our forefathers, be re-established and ameliorated, and with those generous sentiments which formed its spiodour—tiros are days of peace prepared by those works which are best adapted to ensure the enjoymemeat of it, and by those effarts which must com mand it : may this happy accord between the Prince alai his Peophs he for ever perpetuated, and become the most imposing strength , of this empire—the most happy band ot authority and ohedience—wod the Legislative Body obtain the glory . abasing given the most r ile morable example of it -" His Majesty replied— SrENTLEMEN DEPUTIES...*The Legislative Body has give!) me, during this short but important Session, proofs of its filelity ano love :I am sensible of them.
