SUN,

THE

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
At a dinner given by the Chamber of Commerce
at Bordeaux. to the PRESIDENT, on Saturday evening,
Louis NAPOLEON made a speech, which is described
by the telegraphic dispatch as an explanation of his
policy of peace abroad, and of moral order and vise
progress at home.
The speech created a great sensation.
In his discourse at Bordeaux, the PRINCE PRESI-
DENT, alluding to the Empire, said—" There is,
however, an apprehension which I must answer to.
Certain persons say, the Empire is war; I say
the Empire is peace, for France wishes it, and when
France is satisfied the world is quiet."
The following is the latest telegraphic dispatch re-
ceived by the Government :
" AngoulC!mp, Oet. 10, Three in the Afternoon.
" His Highness has made a triumphal entry into
Angouleme. The whole way from Bordeaux was an
ovation. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of
the populations. The inhabitants of the country dis-
tricts, to the number of more than 80,000, pressed on the
line of the corUge, which was greeted with the most
ardent acclamations. At the door of the Cathedral the
Bishop, at the head of his clergy, felicitated the Prince,
who replied with the greatest kindness. The Prince's
health is excellent."
The Mayor of Sevres, near Paris, has put forward
the following proclamation :
" Town of Sevres—Proclamation of the Empire—
' Inhabitants,—Paris, the heart of France, acclaimed on
the 10th May for its Emperor him whose divine mission
is every day revealed in such a striking and dazzling
manner. At this moment it is the whole of France elec.
trifled which salutes her saviour, the elect of God, by
this new title which clothes him with sovereign power,
God wills it,' is repeated with one voice; vox populi,
vax Dei. It is the marriage of France with the envoy
of God which is contracted in the face of the universe,
under the auspices of all the constituted bodies, and of
all the people. That union is sanctified by all the
ministers of religion, and by all the Princes of the
Church. These addresses, these petitions, and these
speeches, which are at this moment being exchanged
between the Chief of the State and France are
the documents connected with that holy union ;
every one wishes to sign them, as at the church he would
sign the marriage deed at which be is present. Inha-
bitants of Sevres, as the interpretor of your sentiments,
I have prepared the deed which makes you take part in
this great national movement. Two books are opened
at the Maire to receive your signatures; one of them will
be offered in your presence to him whom I from this day
designate under the title of Emperor. Let us hope that
he will deign to accede to the supplications which I shall
address to him in your name, to return to the Palace of
St. Cloud through our territory, by the Gate of Honour
which we possess. The other book, which I shall pre-
sent for the signature of the Prince, will remain in your
archives as a happy souvenir of this memorable epoch.
Let all the population, without distinction, come, there-
fore, and sign this document; it sets forth that which is
in your heart and in your will."
The document is as follows :
" Proclamation of the Empire,—The town of Sevres,
obeying the power of its sentiments of affection and of
gratitude for Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the
envoy of God and the elect of France, her Saviour, and
her glory, proclaims him Emperor of the French, under
the name of Napoleon 111., and confers on him and on
his descendants hereditary rights.
" Done at Sevres on the 7th October, in the year of
grace and resurrection, 1852.

(Signed) MENAGEII, Mayor."
