7IIE BOULEVARD PRINCE EUGENE.

The following is a translation of the Emperor's
speech, from the Moniteur :
M. le Prefet and Cientlemen of the Municipal Council,_
It was my desire to preside over the inauguration of this
new Boulevard, in order to have an opportunity of thanking
you for your untiring devotedness to the interests of this
great city. To transform the capital and increase its gran-
deur is not merely to build more houses than are pulled
down, and to furnish employment to a number of different
trades; it is, in addition, to introduce everywhere habits of
order and the love of the beautiful.

These spacious streets, these architectural houses, these
public gardens, these monuments of art, refine taste while
they promote welfare. And those who reflect that as you
carry forward these vast works you equally develop publics
assistance and multiply religious edifices and buildings des-
tined to education, will admit that you deserve infinite praise
for doing so much good without compromising in anywise
the prosperous state of the finances of the City.
My constant anxiety, as you know, is to find a means of
remedying the temporary slackness of employment, and to
make the labouring classes comfortable. The question of
the supply of food has lately much engaged my attention•
The recent discussion in the Council of State will have for
one of its consequences the introduction of some useful re-
forms in the arrangements for the supply of bread. I have
resolved to preserve, subject to some changes, the system of
compensation, and to establish either the laze officielle or
the faze °please according to local circumstances. I have
also to thank you for the assistance which you have always
lent to a work which owes its origin to the Empress, and
which, placing capital within the reach of honest and indus-
trious artisans, belies the old proverb that "only the rich
can borrow." If, as I hope, this institution shall grow, it
will be consoling to think that a gc,od character is in truth
property, with its advantages and guarantees.
The works of peace become more pleasing as they are asso-
ciated with the glorious recollections of our history. Thus
it has been my wish that the new Boulevard which passes
through one of the faubourgs most inhabited by the indus-
trious classes should bear the name of Prince Eugene, that
enfant de Paris, who was orderly officer to General Roche
at the age of 14, who was one of the heroes of the retreat
from Russia, and who, rather than abandon France and the
Emperor, refused the crown of Italy, which was offered to
him by the Allied Sovereigns.
I cannot say how mush I have been touched by that spon-
taneous movement of the population which gave the name
of my mother to one of the neighbouring Boulevards, but I
Cannot accept that designation. My family must not mono-
polise the names to be inscribed on marble. That distinction
belongs to all who have rendered services to the country.
The new road which is now to replace the St. Martin's
Canal will therefore henceforth be called the Richard Lenoir
Boulevard.

Although the name of Richard Lenoir is already borne
by a small street, I desire to render more conspicuous the
name of a man who, from being a simple workman of the
Fanbourg St. Antoine, became one of the first manufactu-
rers in France; who was decorated by the Emperor for the
immense progress which the cotton manufacture owed to
him, and who employed a fortune nobly won to sustain his
workmen in times of distress, and arm them when a foreign
invasion was to be repelled. Let us occupy ourselves then
with all that may ameliorate and improve the material, and
raise the moral, condition of the people. Let us keep con-
stantly before its eyes a noble end to be attained, and the
example of those who have conquered wealth by industry,
esteem by probity, and glory by courage.

since it was thought that the Duke of Chartres, grandson of
Louis Philippe, would be a suitor for the hand of the prin-

Southern States of North America destroyed his influence
with the rich planters and slave/aolders of Brazil.
