our armies of the Repuslic and Empire. Mau among
them were deprived of the recompeoces due to their ser-
vices, and have long txpiated their devotedness to the
Emperor and their fi•lelity to his memory. Should any

department, it quire with care into their situation, receive
their ehtirns, appreciate their real worth, .and draw up a
return, which you will ba pleased to foryearit to me,
with your opinion. It is a duty for the Government to
adopt a measure of reparation, which comes too Lte for
the greatest number, and very late for those who sur-
vive. This will be a satis•action givtn to an idea in-
spired to- the nephew of the anperor by a pious recol-
lection, and the gratitude he owes, in th,, name of the
country, to men who have gloriously served it.
