"In fine, on the 2d December, if personal considerations
had prevailed over the grave interests of the country, I
might at first have demanded a pompous title of the people
which they would not have refused me. I contented myself
with that which I had.
"Consequently, when I borrow examples from the Con-
sulate and Empire, it is because I find them there parti-
cularly stamped with nationality and grandeur. Being de-
termined to-day, as before, to do everything for France and
nothing for myself, I should accept no modification of the
present state of things, unless I was obliged to do so by
evident necessity. Whence can it arise? Solely from the
conduct of parties. If they resign themselves nothing
shall be changed; but if, by their underhand intrigues,
they endeavoured to sap the basis of my Government;
in their blindness, they contested the legitimacy of the po-
pular election ; if, finally, they endangered, by their inces-
sant attacks, the future prospects of the Ministry, then, and
only then, it may be reasonable to demand from the people,
in the name of the repose of France, a new title, which will
irrevocably fix upon my head the power with which they in-
vested me.

" But let us not preoccupy ourselves with difficulties,
which no doubt have nothing probable. Let us maintain
the Republic; it menaces nobody, and may reassure every-
body. tinder its banner I wish to inaugurate anew an era of
oblivion and conciliation, and I call distinctly upon all those
who wish to co-operate with me in forwarding the public
good.
"Providence, which has hitherto so visibly blessed my ex-
ertions, will not leave its work unfinished. It will animate
us with its inspirations, and give us the wisdom and
power necessary to consolidate the order of things which
will insure the happiness of our country and the repose of
17... rope."
Immense applause greeted the various salient points
of this address; and at the end cheering and cries of
" Vive NAPOLEON ! " were enthusiastic. _ _

The Minister of State then proceeded to administer
to the PRINCE PRESIDENT the oath of fidelity, and
obedience to the Constitution. The ceremony was
very simple, each person, on his name being called,
rose and stretching forth hie hand, said " Je le jure."
The first to take the oath was the Prince JEROME, and
then followed the calling over the names of the sena-
tors. Some sensation was evidently felt at the moment

the names of General CAVAIGNAC and M. CAnNoT were
pronounced by there being no reply, both ion. Mem-
bers having absented themselves. Immediately after
the swearing was over the Minister of State an-
nounced the session to have opened, and all separated.
The ceremony did not occupy more than 40 minutes.
Several additional decrees are promulgated in the
columns of the .lloni€eur. Messrs. LEON FAUCHER and
others are authorised to open a loan on mortgage bank,
in conformity with the late law. Salaries of prefects are
raised. Native Engler pays 45t., and foreign 57f. only,
the 100 kilogrammes. Foreign refined sugar is prohibi-
ted. Bank of France is authorised to lend on obligations
of the city of Paris. A❑ amnesty is granted to sailors
who have deserted.

The papers contain no observations of importance in
their comments on, or rather analyses of, the decrees
which appeared on Sunday.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT has pardoned forty persons
condemned to transportation, and who were on their
way to Algeria. The order for their release was sent to
Cette by telegraph.

SPAIN.

Advices from Madrid, are of the 24th inst.

The Madrid Gazette of that day, contains a royal
decree, by which it is enacted that the sums paid by
France to the Spanish Government for obligations con-
tracted by her in the war of independence shall be forth-
with distributed to the creditors. This monoy was paid
by France so far back as 1822, but circumstances have
hitherto prevented the Spanish Cabinet from distri-
buting it.
The visit of the QUEEN to Andalusia has been defi-
nitively fixed.
