and great, to his bcen g,reat or
generous tip his ovm lie: ni; and i:is Army :
never was such -a harvest ;of trciphies presented to
the- eyes of men,. n: t did ever any Nation receive
so magnificent a present ;—the Seat of the Senate
of the Empire,- the Cathedral of this City, the
Hotel de Vile, are filled and decorated with the
Colours taken from the Enemy, offered by the noble
and delicate liberality of the Conquerora .reconi,
pence equally honourable to his assOciates in victo-
ry, and to his People, who have followed him with
their prayers, and who were preparing to second
him with all their e•Torts. The Army has perfdrin-
ed several campaigns in three months. France
counts them by their successes.,:and the Emperor by
the 'favours which he confers,

f` Those who have devoted themselves for their
Country, have bequeathed to it the interests Of their
families, and the care of their memory : their Conn-,
try has satisfied this bequcq ; but the recompence
most worthy of a 'French Soldier is the regard of hi's.
:Emperor : it•is the glory of the Empire, increased,
by his courage—the transports,of all Franee em-
bracing him on his return. The. Emperor wishes.
they should come and enjoy these transports under
•his sight; that a. triumph-al Fete should be given to
tote Army in the Capital, a spectacle worthy the
great events .which -are to be celebrated;. in which
all the splendour of the arts, all the pomp of cere-
monies, all the designations of glory, all the accents.
of Public joy, will encompass the Grand Army, as-
sembled in ,the presence of its ivorthy Chief, and'
will make a brilliant Attendance for .the phalatri. of
Heroes. The repair o:' Churches which had fallen
to decay; and the diffosion of Religion and Mora-
lity are much magnified. The Governinent has,
it is said, much- reason to be satisfied with the
patriotisni of the Clergy. • The , revenues granted
have been considerable, but the imPortance of the
object is still greater." Various other internal im-
provements are detailed, but- particularly those of
the Ports.

" If you cast.your eyes on our Ports, you will see
that exertions are making on both seas, to render
them mere accessible, more commodious, and: more
secure. Basins are digging at Antwerp ;
and Callas are 'forming at Antwerp, Dieppe, Os-.
tend, Dunkirk, and Havre. At Honfleur, Bour-
deaux, Nice, Hulinguu, Belleisle, /*colt), and
Bastia, Quays are construaed, and. Jetties or Moles
lengthened or re-built. All these different kinds of
works are carrying on at Rochelle. The cleansing of
the Ports of Cette and Marseilles is continued, and
that of Oleron is enlarging. The Ports of Dielette
and Casteret, are prepared in such a manner as to-be-
capable of receiving. a great number of. Vessels and
Gun-boats, which will alarm the Inhabitants of the
English Islands of Jersey and Guernsey, as those Of
BOulogne menace Dover and London: The _sound-
ings taken at Bruc have all-brded-SatiSfaCiory results;
the Rhone will have a Port. Engineers have exa-
mined what improvements it is possible to inake in
that of Genoa. •Six millions eight hundrekand fifty.
thousand francs have been expended on the Military
Ports. 'This sum -has been priocipally applied in the
Excavations, the Jetties of the Mole, the Construc-
tion of the Outer Port and Basin,. and. the founda-
tion of the 'new Port; BoxArmerE, who is des,tined
to complete this beautifill maritime creation, and
Worthy of his name, will he, in:the Channel, the
terror of England ;—at Boulogne, the Basin and the
Sluice, the, completion of the works which consti-
tute the whole of the Port, and the construction of
the.establishments by which it is surrotifided :' 'at
Ambleteuse, the works necessary for deepening' the
Port, the elevation of the Jetty, which Lproteets it
from the sand driven against it by the .West wink
the line-walls, and the buildings; at Brest the
formation of an artificial' Island, the Exeavations
in the Rock, the Hospitals, the Magazines, the
Arsenal, the Barracks, and the completion of the
Batteries; at Antwerp, the continuation of the rapid
works which are to-form the Arsenal of our Ma-
rine on the North
.Sea, the ereaion of quays and
work-shops ; ,in the Road of Rochefort, the jetties
on which Fort Boyard is to be erefted, and the ope-
rations of every kind required by this difficult con-
struaion. ; Eleven other points have constantly had
works in .activity : Ostend, for the completion of
the Batteries, and the formation of a Marine Hospi-
tal ; Dunkirk, for cleansing and repairs ; Etaples,
for the establishment of a .Povider Magazine ;
Havre,.tbr the maintenance of its; establishments ;
l'Orient, for the ereCtion of an Artneuff, and the
repairs of its bUildings; Rochefort, for the repair of
the quays, the enclosure of the arsenal, &c. Too-
lon, for the construction of the General Magazine
which was burnt, the building for the great masts,
and the works for raising four vessels by which it
was obstruaed„ This Port, one of the most beau=
tiful works of art and nature, recovered from its
disasters; will sooty, be free from every Vestige of
thdin ; the same hand which took it from the Ene-

my will restore it to" its tbrmer prosperity. There
telegraphic lines are formed to Brest, tO Brussels,
to Strasburgh, with branches to Boulogne and Cape
Grisnez ; -a fotirth line will- extend in, six months

hence to Milan by Lyons- and TOrin." ": •
. The Orator then proceeds to a minute detail of
other improvements :—" The town of Napoleon-
ville, Morbihan, is (he says) making a rapid pro:
gress ; Vendee applauds the birth of,* new capi-
talthe city of Napoleon has seen- the foundation
laid of 411 the greatestablishments which are suited
to its destiny, and can vivify the Department of
which it is the centre. Rising from a before unin-
habited forest, she will invite the exertions of COM-
merce by the roads that interse6t each other within
her walls. She will see her happy situation sought
after by a people faithful'and devoted to her Prince,
who has restored her religion to her, accompanied
with tranquillity and abundance. s The Emperor has
permitted his name to be impressed upon those two
magnificent works, as upon unperishable medals, to
serve.as memorials of great calamities completely re-
paired.
" England attaches no great interest to Italy.—
Belgium is the true ground.of the hatredwhich she
bears to us.

" But Kaand, the hundred and ten departments
of France, the Kingdorxi of Italy, Venice, Dalinatia,
Istria, and Naples, are- now under the protection of
the ImpeK.al Eagle ; and the union of those States
only affords as the means of being formidable on
our frontiers and coasts.
