Majesty.
The procession shortly entered the hall, whilst
martial music was hrard on every side ; all the Le.
gislators rose up, dose of the Deputatisar went back
to their places. The Emperor ascended his throne,
and all who accompanied him sat down to the right
and left, in those places assigned them.
Qit each side of the first step underneath it were
placed the Princes and Dignitaries. On the second
range of steps beneath, on the right, sat the Minis-
ters : on the left, the Grand Officers of the Em-
pire. In front of the steps, upon stools, were
the Grand Chamberlain, and the Grand Equerry :
to the right, the Grand Master of the Cere-
monies. Behind the Emperor, and standing, the
Grand Marshal, the Master ot the Hunt, the
Colonels General of the Guard, and the Aides-
de-Camp. At the two angles of the balustrade,
were the two Masters of the Ceremonies. `fhe
Pages were on the two flights of steps, and at the
bottom of the estrade were the Heralds at Arms.
In front, in a circular point. forming the first rank
of the amphitheatre, was placed the deputation,
composed of twelve Senators. Upon the two
next seats, to the right. were the Counsellors
of State, and to the left. the Tribunes. On
the remaining seats of the amphitheatre sat
the Members pf the Legislative Body ; in the cen-
tre of whom, and in front of the throne, was the
President, in a partiL:ilar seat; on his sides, were
the Guestors ; and behind him, the Usher.
Ali the persons present being seated and covered,
Prince Joseph, the Grand Eleane, quitted the right
of the Emperor, advanced towards the balustrade,
and asked his Majesty permission to administer an
oath to the Members of the Legislative Body.
A Questor then called the Legislative, who suc-
cessively ptonounced aloud, standing, " I SUVA/.
uhedience to the Contlitsfiun ni the EVire, and
_kiddy
fu the bitterer."
The appeal terminated ; the Emperor rose ; the
Legislators uncovered themselves, and his Majesty
delivered the following speech:
" Messieurs, the Deputies of the Departments to the Legit.
lative Body ; Mess:curs, the Tribunes arid the Members of
sty Council of SUAVE am coins to preside at the opening of
your Session; 1 wish to impress the must imposing and ..:gust
character upon your Latour+. Princes, Magistrates, Soldiers,
Citizens, we all have in oar career but one vie object, the
interest of the country. If this Throne to which Providence,
and the will of the nation,havo raised: me, is dear in my
eyes, it is because it alone can ilef,mcl and preserve the
most sacred interests of the French people. Without a
strong and retter,ial Government, Franco might dread the
return of the evil. which she has suffered. The weakness
of the supreme power is the most frightful calaniity of nations.
