" Gen tletnen--..The Dliuties of the pepat -talents
to the Legislative Body—Gentlemen the Outlet
and Members of my 'Conned of State—Si! icd your
last Sinitic, new wars, new triumphs, and ' new
treaties of peace, have change:l the politica) fie. t of
Europe. If the House of- Brandenburgh, which
WeS tite first to conspire' against °lir independe:\ -
still reigns; it ()Wei it to the sindere friendship ‘v.itlt.
which the. powerful Ethperor of the. North has' to- ~ •
spired me. A,' French Prince will reign on -Ole .
Elbe. HO•will know how. 6 the: interests:
of his new subjeCts with his first. and most sacred
duties: The House of SA :wily hOs recovered, at
the ettd'of fifty yens, the independence, which it
•
had lost: The pe,;pl,., of the Duchy of Wima.:v,,aticl
the city of annzic, have recovered their country
and their rights. • .
" All Nations tmanimously rejoice to see the perk
vicious influence which England exercised over the
Continent rirrtvocably destroyed. France is united-
to the people of Germany by the laWs atilt! Confei.
deration of the Rhine—to those of Slight, of Helland,
Of Switzerland, .and of the Italies,-by the laws of
our Federative Sysietn. Our new conneetions with •
Russia are cemented by the reciprotl esteem of these
two great NatiGhs.: In all that I bare done, L have
solely 'had iti'viekthehappiness.ofmy•people, which •
is more dear to nlethao my own.
~I wish for a inaritiroe peace. No resentment
shall ever influence my determinations. I can have
none against a nation which is the sport and viAitu
of the faationtr which it is torn ; which is
equally. deceived With respeia to. the situation 4)f its
own anirs, as it is with respea. to .that of its neigh-
hours. But whatever' result the decrees of Provi-
dence have assigned to the Maritime war, my people
shall always find me the same; and' I shall alwayl
find my people Worthy of nie:
" Frenchmen, your cOndat latterly, when your '
'Emperor, was removed upwards of five hundl'ed
leagues from you, has increleied my esteeni, and this
opinion which.l had conceived of yottr disposition:. • •
I felt a pride-in being the .firSratnong yeti. If during 2 ,
these ten months of absence and danger your thotighta
were turned to me, the proofs Of affeaion which you
have given the have constantly excited my. warmest
emotions. All my caresevery thing which related .
even to the preservation of my life, did not atieCt me,
except. on account of the interest' that you telt for
me, and the importance which they possibly might
be. of to your future destiny. You. are a good and a
great People.
" I. have considered •of different regulations to
sirpplify and improve our institutions. The 'nation
has.felt the happy e Freda of,the establishtnent of the
Legion of Honour. I have created ditferent Imperial
Titles to give-. new splendour to my principal "sub-
jeEts, to honour ~remarkable services by remarkable
rewards, and thus to prevent ,the return of all feudal
Ministerst oef pr Foisnitnecoeu astsid itu of
the Treasury,
titles. which are.incompatible with' our constitution&
"The accounts of oep fxnit you
ation of our Finances. My people will experience a
considerable diminution in the land-tax.

" My Mini ter of the Interior will acquaint yolf
With the works which have been 'commented, or
finished; bnrwhat yet.rernkins to be done is much
more important : for it is my wish, that. in eve!?
part of my EMpire, even in the smallest hamlet,
t.l)e, comfort of the inhabitantsk. and the-value of the
lands, may be increased by the effed of that general
system. of improVembnt which I intend.
• " Gentlemen, the Deputies of the Departments., to
the Legislative Body, your assistance will be neces•
nary toeeable me to Entail) this.great • objeCt',; and I
have 1 right to. place constant reliance on it,"
