-FIA---14;LCoN 111. EETTSINO AN EQUESTRIAN &A-
-y-rt.—The municipal council of Brest voted last month the
erection of an equestrian statue of the Emperor Napoleon
111. in tho public square of that town. in reply to
an announcement of that intention the Mmister
of the Interior received the following letter from
the Emperor, to be transmitted to the Mayor of
Brest :—" Monsieur le Ministre,—The Mayor of Brest
has requested from you an authorisation to erect to me an
equestrian statue. I am very grateful for inch a pro.
medics. which is a fresh proof of attachment to my person,
bat I wish in such a case to maintain the usual tradition
as to the principle which prevails. In general, equestrian
statues are only erected to sovereigns, and after their
death. It is, in fact, proper that this popular homage
shisald not have the appearance of a transitory
histilety, but be a permanent impression of gratitude. l
therefore request, while thanking the municipal council
fee their intention, that you will make known my desire
that they should not carry it into execution. If the eree-
tine of an equestrian statue at Bordeaux, two years ego,
was permitted, it was because I was ignorant of the design,
tad it wee done without my authorisation. Whereupon I
pray God to have you in hie holy keeping.—if arotrox."
