ri. l Defemron, Ministers of state,
were annouuccd members of the coun

The arch-chancellor, president, in
tr iduced them in the following words;
V hat can ir* add—-tu what lan
guage can we ad dress the French se
th»**; which can equal the melting tun*
gouge received from the mouths of the
august pair, wh >se generous resolu
tions you are about 10 consecrate?
Th y have mutually agreed to make
the noblest of sacrifices—their hearts
re-frxpatded to speak to polity and
sentiment, a language,the truest, the
most persuasive, the most convincing
and the most affecting.
A i sovereigns—as spouses, the eru
p tv and empress have done all—they
h ive sii-1 all.
It only remains for U3 to love, bless
and admire them.
It is henceforth, for the French peo
ple to. make him respected—His me
mory is as Faithful as his heart. JJe
will unite iu his thoughts a recognition
of the hopes of the future and a re
membrance of the past, and no mo
narchs will ever have received more
respect, admiration, gratitude and
love, than Napoleon sacrificing the
most holy of his affections to the want j
rff his subjects, and Josephine sacrifi
cing her tenderness for thebestofhus
band-, by devoted ness to the best of
kings, by an au«chment to the best of'
nation's.
'* Accept, gentlemen, then in the
name of affectionate France, iu the
sv.tv of a tonished Europe, this sacri
fice, the greatest which ever has been
ma fe on earth ; and, full of the pro
found *• mot ion which you have proved, I
ha*teu to the foot of the throne with
the tribute of your sentiments, the ;
le -tirnents of all the French people, |
die only price which is worthy of the j
<ov. rcigus, the only consolation which •

The priuce viceroy, having obtained
leave, exposed himself in the follow
ing manner:
“ Prince, Senator?,
“ You have heard the reading of j
the seuatus consuUmn submitted to j

my family is animated.
Mv -nether, my sister and myself j
owe all to the emperor. lie has been |
trulv a Gth-*rtous ; he will find us at |
all times his devoted children and sub
missive subjects.
It is important to the happiness of
France, that the founder of the 4th
dynasty, in his old age, be surrounded
by direct descendants who would be
i ut*'guarantee to nil as the token of the
glory of the country.
41 Gentlemen,
“The project which will be sub

Napoleon.

“ It is necessary to aid, that far from

His majesty the emperor and k ng ha.

“ With the pcriniss'on of our august

crowned by his hands, andj from th;
height of the throne I have received no

“ I must acknowledge these sentiments,
in consenting to the dissolution of a mar.

her ot' the happiness of being one day go
