" ORDER OF THE DAY.

" 'Camp of Chalons, Oct. 8.

" Soldiers,—The time we have just passed to-
gether will not have been lost. Your militiry in
struction has increased, and the bands which unite
us have been drawn closer.

" ' When General Bonaparte concluded the glo-
rious peace of Campo Formic) he hastened to plac3
the conquerors of Italy under the drill of detach-
ment and battalion, thus showing how needful it is
oven for old soldiers, to return incessantly to the
fundamental rules of theory. That lesso❑ has not
been forgotten. Scarcely returned from a glorious
campaign, you bavezealously resumed the practical
study of evolutions, and you have inaugurated the
Camp at Chalons, which will become the great
school of exercise for the whole army.
" ‘ The Imperial Guard will thus always give a
good example in peace as in war. Well instructed,
disciplined, ready for any emergency for the benefit
of the couniry, it will be for the Line, from the
ranks of which it has sprung, a fair object of emu-
lation, and will contribute with it to maintain in-
tact that ancient reputation of our immortal
phalanxes who have succumbed only to the excess
of their glory and of their triumphs.
" ' NAPOLEON."

quarter past eight, and set out immediately for S.
