PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR.
PARIS, JUNE 8.
The following is the text of the Proclamation o
the Emperor to the French Army in Africa :
" Soldiers of the Army of Africa,—

" I wish, before returning to France, to thank
you for your labours and fatigues. In visiting all
these spots, HOW so peaceful, but which for the last
35 years have witnessed heroic struggles, I have ex-
perienced feelings of lively emotion upon this sail,
conquered by your predecessors and yourselves, upon
which were formed those illustrious general and in-
trepid soldiers who have borne our glorious eagles
into all parts of the world. Africa has been a great
school for the education of the soldier. He has here
acquired those manly virtues which are the glory of
arms, and the most solid support of an empire, learn-
ing to face danger, to suffer privations, to place
honour and duty above all material enjoyments.
He has felt his soul expand to every noble senti-
ment. Therefore it is that in your ranks anger has
never outlived the conflict. Among you there has
been no hatred to the conquered foe—no desire to
enrich yourselves with their spoils. You are the
first to extend to the erring Arabs a friendly hand,
and to wish that they should be treated with justice
and generosity, as forming thenceforth part of the
great French family.
" Honour, therefore, to those who have shed their
blood upon this soil, the possession of which has
been disputed by so many different races !
" Soldiers of Staoueli, Monzal, Constantine,
Mazagran, Isly, and Zaatcha—and you also who
have been fighting in the arid plains of the desert or
upon the almost inaccessible peaks of the Kalzla,
you have deserved well of your country, and you
have, through me, the thanks of France.
" Done at Constantine, the 6th June, 1865.
" NAPOLEON."

AN UNDISCOVERED OPERA BY CAVALLI.—An in-
teresting discovery of an unpublished opera by
Cavalli has just been made at the imperial library. M. Ge-
vaert, the well-known composer, was looking over a num-
ber of scores of ancient operas, when among them he found
one bearing simply the words in Italian, " Drama without
a title." On examining it more closely he saw from certain
indications that the music could not have been composed
earlier than 1650 nor later than 1660, also that the author
seemed to be a Venetian, and might have been Cavalli,
who lived about that time. Several of the airs were headed
" Artemise," and M. Gevaert having referred to Fetis'
" Biographies des Musiciens," found mentioned among
other works by that master an Artemisia in 1656, which
had thus apparently been never printed. Tho Imperial
library purchased this original, unaware of its value, in a
sale a few years back, for the modest sum of 12f. Cavalli
was invited to France by Cardinal Mazarin, and an opera
by him, entitled " Xerxes," was performed at the Louvre
on the occasion of the marriage of Louie
