dynaflies. A few days only are requifite for a cam-
paign : one campaign alone has rendered you mailer
of the provinces of A great empire, which could not
have been fecured, unlefs by your moderation. The

In many illullrious deeds of arms. It ought to en-
deavour, above all, in there memorable events, to
ameliorate the condition of the people, by preventing
new wars. It haflen,, with all its favour, the ac-
complidiment of there magnanimous ideas, which
the difcourfe of yotr Majtfly embraces. Every
thing which your Mojefty has done, is grand—
every thing which you have left to be done, is

houfes thine with new luflre, by approaching the
rays of your Crown. The repofe of the Continent
will be the fruit of your labours. The Legillative
Body will then applaud military glory without re-

fparing human blood, fo often manifelled by your
&Weft,' even in the intoxicating moment of triumph.
It is the bloodlers vidory alone which is molt ho-

are the words of your dircourfe which penetrate our
hearts. The greaten anions have fornetinses equivo-
cal motives, but the fentimcuts of a great foul can
never deceive. It is there thit we recognize the
Monarch worthy of reigning over the French people.
It was not fufficient for your Majelly to make them
the molt powerful, but you have alto made them the
hapttiell. Upon the whole we may repeat, that this
noble ambition occupies you inceftently, both in your
palaces and ycur camps, all your thoughts are
preired with that charaFler which alone attracts ve•
neration and love.

" After having made and unmade Kings, you have
avenged their tombs. The place which was the
vault of Cluitiian France, fees itfelf crated into a
celebrated temple, where, for there twelve centuries,
death had confounded the allies of three Royal Races,
all whole grandeur put together fcareely equalled
yours. Sire, fimilar alts of your power are the firl:
of your benefaßions. They have reftered to honour
every principle ufcful to fociety, every fentiment dear
to the heart of man ; they promife to France that a
Sovereign who thus avenges public morals and tell•
Rion when profaned, will continually refpet what
bith the one and the other command in the name of
GOD and of the human race.

"The Legiflativeßody is not the theatre of flattery:
the homage which it pays is as free as it is fincere ;
permit it again to thank you for the prefent of Co-
lours which you have pronifed, and which fball be
(4:ended around your Statuc, as the only ornaments
worthy of it. It will give your Majelly, in the re-
lent as well as in every other Seffion, the alliflance you
require. You will always fin dit that which hould
give the greater} pleafure—the faithful Friend of
the Throne and of the French People."
To this Addrefs his Majeliy, feated on the Throne,
returned the following Anfwer :
" I agree with the fcntiments of the Legiflative
Body. I rely on their affitlance for all the intereds
of the Throne and of the Country. In return you
may depend upon every fenument of confidence and
affection for the Legiflative Body, and in parti-
cular for each of the Members which compote it."

L'ATIDS, THEIR PRISIDISIT.

" Sire ! A Taft coalition threatened France, but
your genius watched over her deßinies. You appear-
ed at the head of your invincible cohorts ; in one mo-
ment from the Banks of the Danube to the extremity
of the Appenines, this league of furious paffions was
annihilated, and the power of the Empire has been
eflabliflled upon immoveable foundations.

to When fudden aggretlion forced you to Ay to the
rumors of one of your allies, you declared that it
was not your °Ned to increafe the territory of
France. The fcccefs of your arms rendered you
mailer of a great part of the States of your enemies;
you atked no recompence for the viEtory but what
was due to the fecurity of your allies and the honour
of France, their defender. You were anxious to
move to Europe that France was already powerful
enough from her vaa and fertile territory and from
bee naive and numerous population, rich enough
to confideration and glory, to have nothing more
to defire than faithful allies and peaceable neighbours.
" Your Majelly has esprefred your defire of peace
with England, in taking for its balls the aipulations
of the treaty of Amiens. Sire, if the Bridal Govern-
ment, placed. as it is, in new eircumftanees, reeks no
rule of condud but the true intereits of Great Britain,
the wins of your Majefty will be underflond and
fulfilled with fentiments worthy of that nation.
*t Europe will owe to you the return of a peace
yfeful to the world ; and if her hopes are 11111 to be
deceived. the will at leaft know what you have done
to put an end to the mifiries of war. She will never
forget that in the midi' of your brilliant vi tarns. ;
