people and to you (said lie), the imperial throne is re-
established. It is acknowledged throughout the whole
empire without a drop of blood shed. The Count
de Lisle, the Count D'Artois, the Dukes of Berri

nation who believed that Frenchmen would consent
to receive a Prince from the very hands which had
ravaged our territory, and who, with the aid of trea-
son, had for a moment endeavoured to blight our
laurels ! The throne of the Bourbons is incompatible
with the new interests, as well as with the glory of
the French people." New acclamations followed,
and circulated through all the ranks.

At a late hour last night we received Paris Papers
of Saturday and Sunday, from which we have given
ample extrac in the preceding columns. They pre.
sent a lam-ntable picture of the versatility and depra-
%icy of the French character. The very people who
exhausted every term of eulogy upon the Bouliaoss
are now re-writing their congratulations with no
otha change in the expressions than what is rendered
necessary in the Address by the substitution of the
name N APOLECIN for Lours ! Even the new Govern.
ment, though congratulating the nation on the general
expression of its unshaken loyalty and attachment to
the new Dynasty, seems to be well aware of the
degree of ridicule wlich attaches to such productions
from such men, and therefore does not publish the
text of flaw addresses I !" but contents itself with a
summary of their substance.
The summary itself is curious, and the intention
for which it is published is obvidtis. It is fnr the pur-
pose of furnishing fit terms for the future addresses,
by spewing them how to ring the changes upon
" Cowards—betrayers of the country—shameful neg.
lect of merit—humiliations—disgusts— privileged per-
sons—usurped titles, &c." These must be properly
mixed up with " Eagles—tri-coloured cock ides—
triumphs—victories—privileges—honourable recom-
penses—memorable actions—and national glory !"
Then will the addresses be fit for the Emperor's eye,
but not even then fit.for publication.
The Mon;teur announces, that it is no longer to be
considered as an official journal. Nothing is to be
henceforth considered as officially published but what
appears in the Bulletin of the Laws. The Laws re-
specting Printing, Bookselling, and Censorship, are
repealed. We notice these points in particular, be.
cause already we find their object misunderstood.
Nothing, can be Luther from the intention of N APO-
-1 vos than to give up his controul over the Press.:—
The Laws repealed are those of Lows XVIII.; and
by ei‘:Cliling nothing official without the signature of
a Minister or a Magistrate, he obtains the advantage

It does tusk appear that at the date of these jour-
nals NAPoLEeN !limself had set off for Belgium ; but
his preparations for such a march, and as object are
sufficiently indicated. The troops advancing from
the south and east are reviewed in succession as they
reach Paris, and instantly marched off for tl:e
