had interrupted the regularly receiving of the
new credentials of the foreign Ambassadors and
Ministers, gave to each a particular audience, at
the palace of the Thuillerie., on Sunday the Bth of
July; in the order of the demand of audience they
had respe&ively made. This order, in no manner,
injures the rank of the several Ambassadors or

Ministers.

The office cif .Igents being especiAly
destined to maintain a good understan.: • g among
States, new credentials may be considered as
the renewing of the political engagements which
unite Sovereigns. These acts are, by their natur-
and object, as grave, as sacred, as treaties of pen ;
and for these reasons, perhaps, it would have been
more wise, if in Europe that splendour had been
preserved, which was given to these forms by pre.
ceding ages. But, in diminishing the solemnity of
their form, the opinion of their importance has not
been lessened.

All the credentials which have been presented
to His Imperial Majesty, have shewn, that such was
the disposition of the Sovereigns from whom they
have emanated.

The substance of the engagements which unite
the other quite. to France, have been renewed in a
manner -onformable to the political relations existing

in an times.

As to the protocol, in reprnclucinz, in the dired
communications from Government to Government,
forms ezaaly calculated on the face of the srmr.ll
states, and the dignity of the several powers, it has
%hewn, that the French Empire, even in the mo-
mein of it; institution, has presented itself to the
.eyes of Europe, with the sat:le charaller of eleva-
tion, and with still more splendour, than that of
the great Nlossarchy, in tile gicatest drys of Louis
XIV.

All the credentials are of accord on this
point. that their Governments express in them the
mos: lively sstisfaftion, in seeing fi.c dtstiaies of the
Grrat French Nation fur ever united to that of the
Emperor of the French. One of thc.c Sovereigns
has expressed the general opinion of the whole, when
he says :

" If, wring all the aiininii.tration of your Impe-
rial Majesty, tke objet of my most lively solicitude
}lnconstantly been, to eement, mire and tn. ire, the
ties of friensl4.ip and r.,otid neighbourhood, which
