;rig defeats, thit to oblige him to Wend mins& /jail
to call him to victory ? Ah l• :nth a Sovereign is
never a simple spectator of the battles he has resolv-
ed giving. A Ways enlightened byhi.: inspiration,
by his experience, by that habit of great and sudd'en
cf•s;gns which raise hitt) in every way above other'
men, he has dis Covered to you his whole ascendancy
with that promptitude and certainty of judgment
which knows at first sight to form a plan of battle,
in which the most profound meditation of the most
illustrious Generals will always yield to him. Your
have hastened by three days, the moment of a tri-
umph which he had secretly prepared in his mind ;
but by eluding his combinations you have made no
alteration in his disposition, excepting solely of the
manner to cooqu'er you. Come on then, to provoke
and :iccelerate the combat !
The half of his army, still at a distance from his
camp, had nothing to regret but its having been for
a feW• hours deprived of partaking of his laurel.
‘, The inferiority of our cavalry which the Emperor
wi‘hed to spare, and for which he gave as a supple-
ment his thimelering artillery, chewed at once his in-
tentions, by one of those sudden illuminations of
which Bussuit speaks, It is an Egyptian battle,'
said he to his troops, a good infantry, supported by
ought to be sufficient of itself;' history Will
perceive this memorable result of a combination sug-
gested by military genius, and which alone could
ensure the victory,
One stands transported with admiration, N. T.
c. F. before the extraordiiary man who as raised
cur empire to such a prodi..ious degree of power and
dory. His fate and his officious enemies incessantly
place him in the most proper situations to discover to
ts the whole extent of his genius. He is the soot of
Gcvernment as well as of his Artily. One cannot
ionceive how a mortal can possibly surmount so
many difficulties, be sufficient for the performance of
so many duties, unite so much activity to so much
foresight—such wisdom to such imp.auosity—such
vast extent of conception to so much vigilance in the
det.:ils, and that every part of his immense admini-
stration is always watched by the perspicuity of his
view as if he had no ether solicitude on the throne.

It is Religion only, N. T. C. F. -.Omit, by joining
all the interests of the Sovereign with the subject—
of the rich with the poor, which insures the true pomp
of natioral annals, gives an expression to the common
joy both august and sacred, and which the universal
enthusiasm renders still more taiiChing and magnifi•
cot. Without her nothing is solethe,—nothing is
truly popular—nought unites the multitude into one
single family.
The world has its amusements, but Christianity
alone has real feasts. Men are never in a perfect
communion of sentiments and interests, but in the
temple.. It is in prostrating themselves before Gon
that Frihces teach their people to respect them as his
living images. It is in assembling befure altars that
'ire feel ourselves happy in being Christians, and pri aid
of being Frenchmen ; and that every one believes
himself associated in the glory of the army, by ceie.
lating it with equal celebrity and majesty in our
sanctuat'ies, GOD being here an the midst of us, is
actually felt to be near us, according to the expres-
sion of the Apostle St. Paul, and likewise appears to
declare for us.

" The image of the Sovereign is there braced in
esery heart. The acclamations of an entire people
ryeat his beloved mime with the unanimous senti-
ments of grathide, but his f,arne has so accustomeJ
us to prodigies, that there Can never appear any thing
More of our surprise tor our admiration. Oh ! 1•ow
wouldhis great soul enjoy with delight our love, could
he at this moment be witness of all the sentiments he
inspires !
" But what regret have we to express. Will not
nut; Monarch, in thought, be present at this sacred .so..
lemnity, to enjoy the universal benedictions which
are coming to env:ron his dear company, at the mo-
ment when a grand and affecting religious solemnity
comes to offer him for the first time during his Go-
vernment, and in the most tnagnificent pomp of the
Throne, the homage of the nation ? The feast which
assembles us together in the first of our temples, all.
resplendent with his benefactions and his victories,
acquires a still greater interest, and a greater lustre,
by the presence of the August Sovereign who comes
topieside at this pious ceremony, ;n sheaving herself
apparelled in all the glory of her cons, rt.
" Ah ! what a touching sight to view in our sanc-
tuary the revered spouse of ou• Soveri Igo, ttie mo he r
01 the heir to the Throne, the Regent of the Erri.ire,
rendering soli mn th inks to GOD for the glory of the
FP'at man whose •r utephs she is c. nie to fur cla,m,
declaring to the French that his press • aii n is as
r,.cessary to the happiness of the Empire as to the
vellare of Europe, and to the religion which he has
Tin raised, which I e is c ,lied to str-ngthen and re-
establish, and of which he is the most sincere protector.
What a sight! to contemplate a soul so pure
prostrating herself before our altars, imploring the
AtL-POWERCUL in favour of the hero who is the con-
Lnnal object of her thoughts, where tenderness fol-
"mi all his steps, and whom she never ceases to
0.;.p in the midst a her heart with the most lively
•inevon. Gov will consent to these prayers, these
rows, these acts of thanksgiving which he has in-
and the felicity of our Sovereign will be aug-
mented by the public readiness, of which she will be
i%e happy interpreter to him whom she represents

"cart openly declare on the faith of higher
persons railed to his councils, that the government
which is confided to her, developes in her every day
a m'rui lull of sweetness and kindness, a character of
hid, wisdom, apparent both its her actions and dis-
course ; a taste for application, a love of order, a ha.'
bitude of attention and interest, a correctness of me-
morn and consequently the sane in business, an
iiipta:iry of mind, a maturity of judgment, a solidity
reflection, which in conciliating all suffrages to.
Aartis her, guarantees to her that approbation most
precious to her, that all these brilliant qualities are
still more embellished under the diadem by a piety
entßily examplary as moderate, and by Vie attraction
Lt those rniluer virtues which are so ninth the more
Proper fur causing her religious principles to be es-
'ermilde because they invite us to imitate them with.
forcing us to hypocrisy."
