pereur !"

At that moment the Prince Arch-Chancellor
proclaimed the
,result of the Notes, importing;
that the Additional Act of the Constitutions of
the Empire is accepted by almost an unanimity ci
votes (the' number of Negative Notes. was 4206).
The Chief Herald'at Arms, by the commind-of
his Majesty, signified through his Excellency the
Grand Master of Ceremonies, .said.—

In the name of the Emperor, I deelare.tbat
the Additional Act of the Constitutions of the
Empire has been accepted by the French people."
New acclamations burst from all quarters.
The Grand Chamberlain having caused d table
on which was placed the Additional Act, to he
carried before the Throne, his Serene Highness
the Prince Arch-Chancellor put the pen into the
hands of Prince Joseph, who presented it to the
Emperor, and his Majesty ratified by his signa-
ture the Act for the promulgation of the Consti-

tution.
The table being withdrawn, the Emperor,
seated and covered, spoke in these terms :
'" Gentlemen, the Electors of the Colleges of
the Departments and of the Arrondisements,
" Gentlemen the Deputies of the Navy and
Armv of the Champ de Mai,
" Emperor, Consul, Soldier, I hold every thing
of the People.—ln prosperity, in adversity—on
the field of battle—in the Council', on the Thi one,•
in exile, France was the sok and constant object.
of my thoughts and my actions.
" Like the Athenian King,. I sacrificed myself
for my people, in the hope of seem, realised the
promise which was given to preserve France in
her natural integrity, her honours, and her
rights. -
" The indignation at seeing these, sacred rights,
acquired by the victories of twenty-five years,
overlooked and lost for ever—the cry of the de-
caying honour of France—the wishes of the na-
tion, recalled me to that throne which is dear to
me, because it is the palladium of the indepen,
dence—of the honour, and of the rights. of the
people.
" Frenchmen !—ln traversing amid piiblic re-
joicing the different provinces or the Empire, to
reach my capital, I could not h t reckon upon A
long peace;---nations- are homiii by the tr..aties
concluded by their Governments, whatever they
may be.
" My Mind was then entirely devoted to the
means of founding our liberty by a Constitution
conformable to the interest and inclination of the
people.—l have convoked the Champ de Mai.
" I soon learnt that Princes, who have broken
down all principles, fettered the ()Pinion and the
dearest interests of so many nations, 'wish to
tiiake war against us. They meditate the aggran
dizement of the Kingdmit of the Netherlands—to
give it for harriers all our strong holds in the
North,' and to conciliate the differences which
still subsist among them, by partitioning, among
theMselves Lorraine and Alsace.
It has been necessary to prepare for war.
" However, before exposing myself to the per-
sonal hazards of battles, my firit solicitude wao to
constitute the nation Without delay. The people
has accepted the Act which I have presented to
them.

" Frenchmen ! when we shall have repulsed
these` unjust aggressions, and* when Europe will
be convinced of what is due to the rights and in-
depenilence of 28 millions of Frenchmen, a so-
lemn law, Made according to the firms Prescribed
by the Constitutional Act, •till unite the different
dispositions of our Constitutions, 'which are as yet
scatterer'..

" Frenchmen, you go to return to your depart-
. Tell the citizens that *the circumstances
are are great !! ! That with union, energy and per-
severance, we shall come from the struggle, of a

MCntS.

great people against its oppressors ; that future
girieratiops, will severely scrutinize our con-
duct ; that a nation has lost all when it
has lost its independence.—Tell them that
foreign Kings whom I have , raised to the
throne, or who are indebted to me for the pre-
servation of their crown—all of whom, in tha
season of my prosperityhave,sue4 for my alliance,
and for the protection of the French people, do
this day direct all their blows against my person.
If I did not see that it is the country which they
alm at,, 1 should place at their mercy this life, on
the destruction of which- they shot, themselves
so obstinately bent.—But tell the citizens like.
wise, that as long as the French will preserve for
me those sentiments of lore which they so
strongly prove, that rage of our enemies will be
impotent.

tv Frenchmen !--My is tbnt of the people;
ri&its are theirs; honour, my .glory, my

happinesi, Can only be the honour and glory and

happiness of France."
It ‘votild be clitnctilt to describe' the emotion
,
which was ritanife-sted on every countenance at the

accents of his Majesty, and the prolonged shouts

hat tolloiireci his spiech.

Then the - Bishop of Bourges, First
Almoner, and performing the fnnctia►is of Grand

Almoner., approached the th'one, and presented

on his knees the Holy Evvingelists to Empeidr,

who took the oath in these terms :

" I swat. to observe the Constitution§ of the
Empire, and to cause them to be Observed.".

The Prilieb Arch-Chancellor, advUncing to the
lock of the thrOne, firSt pronounced the Oath of
Obedience to the Constittitions, and fidelity to the
Emperor.---4he whole assembly etied7-." We
swear i"

[The. aCcount then' • states, that during the
Speech and the Oath. the Members of. the Deputa-
tion, instead of returning to their places in the in-
closure, sat dowti on. the steps of the throne;—
that after the oath, TeDeuni was sung ; that then

the Eaglei destined, for the National Guards were
distributed to the Members of the Electoral Col-
leges Buonaparte then addressed the troops
as follows :

" Soldiers of the National Guarj, and of the- Naval and
Military Forces !

"I intrust to you the Imperial Eagle on the
Naticinal Colours ; you swear to defend it at the
price of your blood,-against the eneniles of the
country and of the t_llrone ! You swear that it
will be always your rallying signal ! You swear
!'

Cries, nnivefsrdly prolonged, of e‘ We swear it,"
'resounded In theiticlosure.

[The account then states, that the. National
Guard of Paris and-Imperial Guards haying sur-
rounded' the throne, were addressed by Brionaparte

in these words :—]

•' Soldiers of the National Guard of Pari!—Soldiers of the

Imperial Guard!

" I intrust to you the imperial eagle on the
national eOlours. You swear to perisk, if oeces-
sary, in its delcncc, against the enemies of the
country and of the throne"—the Whole of that
army, grouped round the throne, interrOined the
Emperor with cries; a thousand tines repeated—
', we swear it !"

•
" You swear never to acknowledge any other '
rallying signal—(Cries again of " We swear it !")
You soldiers of the National Guard of Paris, you
swear never to alloy the foreigner to pollute aaew
the eipital of the Great Nation. It is, to •your
bravery that ishall trust it—(the cried " We swear
it !" repeated a thousand and -a thoniand times.)
And you, Soldier§ of the Imperial GuM'cl,
you swear to surpass yourselves iii_ the campaign
which is about to open, and to die every one sooner .
than permit the foreigner again to come and dic-
tate laws to the. country.". (The cries ‘i We
swear it !" rent the air, and resOtihded over the
whole extended Space of the Chatiip de Mars).
The account then states that the Emperor, after.
the troops. had defiled before him, went into the
Military School, and thence entered his carriage,
and retn,roed with all the retinue to the Thuilleriei.
