DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT THE PARIS
EXHIBITION.
SPEECH OP THE EMPEROR.

The Emperor Napoleon, in distributing the
prizes at the Paris Zxhibition,yeaterday, delivered
the following speech :

Gentlemen,—After an interval of twelve years, I have
come for the second time to distribute the rewards to
those who have most distinguished themselves in those
works which enrich nations, embellish life, and soften
manners. The poets of antiquity sung the praises of
those great games in which the various nations of Greece
assembled to contend for the prises of the rams. What
would they say to-day were they to be present at these
Olympic games of the whole world, in which all nations,
contesting by intellect, seem to launch themselves simul-
taneously in the infinite career of progress towards an
ideal incessantly approached without ever being able to be
attained ? From all parts of the earth the, representatives
of science, of the arts, and of industry, have hastened
to vie with each other, and we may say that peoples
and kings have both come to do honour to the efforts of
labour, and to crown them by their presence with the idea
of conciliation and peace. Indeed, in these great assem-
blies, which appear to hare no other object than material
interests, a moral sentiment always disengages itself from
the competition of intelligence—a sentiment of concord
and civilisation. In drawing near nations learn to know
and to esteem each other; hatred is extinguished, and the
truth becomes more and more evident that the prosperity
of each country contributes to the prosperity of all. The
Exhibition of 1867 may justly be termed universal, for it
unites the elements of all the riches of the globe ; aide by
side with the latest improvements of modern art appear
the products of the remotest ages, so that they represent at
one and the saute time the genius of all ages and of
all nations. It is universal, for in addition to the marvels
luxury brings forth for the few, it displays also that which
is demanded by the necessities of the many. The interests
of the labouring classes have never aroused more lively
solicitude. Their moral and material wants, their educa-
tion, the conditions of life at a cheap rate, the most pro.
ductive combinations of association, have been the object
of patient inquiries, of serious study. Thus all improve-
ments march forward. If science, by turning matter to
account, liberates labour ; the cultivation of the mind, by
subduing vices, prejudices, and vulgar passions, also fibs..
rates humanity. Let us congratulate ourselves, gentle-
men, upon having received among us the majority of the
sovereigns and princesof Europe, and so many distinguished
visitors. Let us also be proud of having shown to them
France as she is—great, prosperous, and free. One must be
destitute of all patriotic faith to doubt of her greatness ;
must close one's eyes to evidence to deny her prosperity ;
must misunderstand her institutions, tolerant sometimes

even of license, not to behold in them liberty. Foreigners
have been able to appreciate this. France—formerly die.
quieted, and casting out her uneasiness beyond her fron-
tiers--now laborious and calm, always fertile in generous
ideas, turning her genius to the most diverse marvels, and
never allowing herself to be enervated by material enjoy-
ments. Attentive minds will have divined without trouble
that notwithstanding tho development of wealth, notwith-
standing enticements towards prosperity, the fibre of the
nation is always ready to vibr►te as soon as the
question of honour and the country arises : but
this noble susceptibility could not be a subject
of alarm for the repose of the world. Let
those who have lived for a short time amongst us
carry to their homes a just opinion of our country ; let
them feel persuaded of the sentiments of esteem and sym-
pathy we entertain for foreign nations, and our sincere
desire to live at peace with them. I thank the Imperial
Commission, the members of the jury, and the different
committees, for the intelligent zeal they have displayed
in the accomplishment of theirtasks—l thank them also in
the name of the Prince Imperial, whom, notwithstanding
his tender age, I have been happy to associate in this
great undertaking, of which he will retain the remem-
brance. I hope the Exhibition of ISC,7 will mark a new era
of harmony and of progress. Assured that Providence
blesses the efforts of all who, like ourselves, desire good, I
believe in the definitive triumph of the great prinsiples at
