palladium of independence, honour. and the right►.'
of the people.

al Frenchmen. in passing through the carious pro-
vinces of the empire. in my way to my capital, atnid
every demonstration of joy, I thought I toad have
reckoned on a long peace : the nations of Europe
were bound by treaties, concluded by their respective
Guirernments, such as shey were.
" My thoughts then entirely dwelt npon the means
of founding our liberty by a Constitution confo' m-
able to the will and interests of the people. I con-
voked this Champ de Mai.

66 I soon learned, that• Princes, who have trampled
on ail principles, harrowed up the feelings and the
dearest interests of so many people, wish to makei
war upon us.

MAI meditate upon increasing the Kingdoth of
dee Low Countries, and to give it far barriers all
our trustier places of the North, and to reconcile the
differences which still divide them by partitioning
Lorraine 4pd Alsace.

44 We must all prepare for war.
Neverthelessrbefore rtsnning personally the risk
of bottles. lily first solicitude has been to constitute.
without debris the nation. The people hue accepted
the Act which I presented to them.
44 Frenchmen—when we shall have repelled these
unjust aggressions, and when Europe shall be con
vinced of what she owes to the rights and the inde.
pen 'ence of twenty-eight millions of Frenchmen, a
solemn law, made in the forms required by the Con.
stitutional Act, will unite all the different arrange.
mesas of our Constitution, which are now scattered.

gg Frenchmen—Go back to• your departments.
Tell the citizens that the circumstances are grand ! !
Tell them that by union, by energy, and by perseve-
rance, we shall come victorious out of this struggle
of a great people against their oppressors ; that future
generations will severely scrutinize our conduct, and a
nation has lost every thing when it has lost its indepen-
dence. Tell them that the Kings of foreign nations,
whom t have raised to their Thrones, or who owe to
me the preservation of their Crowns ; and all of
whom in the time of my prosperity, courted my al
liance and the protection of the French people,
now direct all their blown Against my person.—
If I was not certain that it was against the coun-
try itself that they are in arms, I would throw at their
mercy that existence against which they shew them-
selves so enraged. But tell the citizens also, that
so long as the French shall retain towards me the
sentiments of love of which they hate given me so
Thany pr 4014 the rage of our enemies shall be im-
potent.

Frenchmen—My will is that of the people; my
rights am shsisoa; my honour. uty glory, ray happi-
ness, can be nothing but the honour, the glory, and
the happiness of France."

[The Sacrament was then administered to BONA-
?Aura, by the Archbishop of BOURG= on his knees;
and after this scene of blasphemy. BONAPARTZ swore
to observe the' Cidutitutions of the Empire. •The
whole audienca then shouted;“ Ws swami AL50."...-.
BONAPARTE then put off the.lmperial osantlt, and
appeared en militaire, when he delivered Eagles to the
National Guards and to the Imperial Guards, with
short speeches. The ceremony closed with a review
of 50,000 men.]

By an Imperial Decree, the Chamber of Peers and
Deputies was convoked for Saturday last.
