enlaced, (tie know not on what foundation,) and
too-lightly believed by some persons, that ,the
Legion of Honour will only be considered in fu-
ture as a ci‘il order. We are expressly authorised

.most formal manner, this
assertion, which is in direct contradiction to that
article of the constitutional charter which re-
lates to the Legion of Honour.

details respecing their illustrious.visitants should
,eseapeithem, and with these they fill entire co-

measure or mlcretion.r
