ferences of the Concordat began at that epoch. It
is on this labour of two-years that you have to de-
cide. Hasten, Citizens Legislators, to makc re-
paration for so many errors, and evils in which you
had no share. Sanaion the religious code, and
you will have discharged the debt you owe to your
country. " While the head of the Government gives
ex•-rt,al. peace to Europe,- you will restore-the in-
ternal peace of consciences."

menr, said a few words in regard to the Organic
Ante, im ,:f the Protestant Worship.. He beheld in

them a term to these numberless evils produced by
the Revocation of the Editft of Nalltz. The con-
x-quests of the Republic had produced the return of a
great number of Prptestants—the Concordat will
occdsinn.the.return of a great many more. •

I•cotne in the name of the Sovereign Pontiff,
And under

Lego re a latere.

I am come among a great and warlike Nation,
the glory of which you have exalted by your con-
quests, secured. its external tranquillity by an uni-.
versal Peirce, and the happiness of which you are
going to c-mplete, by restoring to it the free exer-
cise of the Catholic Religion.. That glory was re-
served tor you, General Consul. The same arm
that gained Battles, that signed Peace with all Na-
tions, restores their • splendour to the Temples of
the true God, rai;ses his altars, and re-establishes.
his worship. Consummate, General Consul, this
work of wisdom, so long desired by those-whom
you govern. I shall neglea nothing that may con-.
tribute to it. . A faithful interpreter of the senti-
ments of the 'Sovereign Pontiff, the first and most
grateful of my duties, to "_express to you his tender
rkegards for you, and his love for all the French.-
-Your wishes shall regulate the length of.my stay
with you. I shall not go away before I shall have
left in your hands the monuments of this important
mission, during which you; may be assured, that I
'shall nor allow any thing to be done on my part
contrary to the rights of the Government and of the.

which the Sovereign Pontiff and yourself have placed
in me." •

oath in the requisite form.
The First Consul answered in the following
terms :

" From the apostolic virtues which distinguish
you, Monsieur Cardinal, I .see you with pleasure
the depositary of so great an influence over con,
sciences. You will draw from the Gospel the rules
of your conduet, and thereby you will powerfully
Contribute to the extiation of hatreds, to the con-
solidation of the union in this vast empire. The.
French People will ever applaud the concert which
has taken place between His Holiness and me in the
choice of your person. The result of your mission
will be a new subject of triumph for the. Chris,tian
Religion, which in all ages has done so much good
- to man. It will thence receive new congratulations
of enlightened philosophy, and the real friends of
mankind."
