The Paris papers publish the following :
" Ajllo6o. May 15.
"The inauguration of the monument erected to the
memory of Napoleon I. and of his brothers has *lt taken
place, amid the greatest enthusiasm, and in presence of an
immense multitude. All the authorities of the depart-
ment, all the land treops and sailors from the ships,
were present. The Montebello, ship of the line, the frigate
Ls Globe, and the corvette Jerome Napoleon, at anchor in
frost of the spot selected for the inauguration. fired salvoes
at artillery. Prins Napoleon made a long speech, often in-
terrupted by loud applause. He drew an eloquent
biographi-
cal sketch of the Bonaparte family. Be passed an eulogistic
stic
review upon the life and the acts of Napoleon L, and
traced a programme of liberal policy. After the troops bad
marched past, and the deputations from the communal die-
tricte bad been received, the Priem distributed a certain
number of deooratioes. The Prefect, the Procureur-Oesseal,
M. Charles Abbethoei, and the Mayor of Aiwa* have been
appointed of of the Legion of Honour ;M. Gavisi
Deputy, and some others have beeu appointed Knights of
the same order.
"The agricultural and industrial display has been most
successfaL The prizes will be awarded to-marrow. On the
17th there will be rues and a grand bawled. Prince Na-
poleon will then leave for Hestia."
Prince Napoleon's speech fills 13 columns of La Prase.
He eoecluded as follows :
"France has never been ungrateful towards her biro; she
proclaimed him, and the rights of the Napoleons have al-
ways had their source in the votes of the Preach people ; so
other name has been bailed for 50 years when the people
were called upon unanimously to choose a chief. These are
our title-deeds, and I own it with legitimate pride. The
great shadow of Napoleon hover over Frame ; it pokes,

of her goalies. Have I allowed myself to bs carried too
far by my deep emotion' Could it be otherwise, speaking of
Napoleon and of his brothers in this spot under such sir
cumstanoes? For many years my mind has been tormented
by those false interprotatioes of Napoleon which some draw,
who can only see in him the agent al a reaction of frightened
interests, of petty passions to be satisfied—while in is the
initiator of all rand ideas and of progress. That is his
true tradition.
