Citizen MAC.urtLE, Orator of the Members
of the Legilitive Body, obferved, " That it :s
refereed for the cc,mmenc-tnent of the 19th cen-
tury to prefent to the unieerf,: the ipedaele of a
ration which by a 'vice refit aim on itfeif, had learnt
how to keep the afe of liberty within jail hounds,
and to fccure its esiftence by giving up the pro.
tedinn of it into hands molt worthy of fo facred
trod. Firft Cordial, France has acquired at the
price of many revere calamities a happyerpzrience;
the has learnt that the fpeculations of the wife
cannot in the lapfe of a few days complete the
cf a great people ; that the heft form'ed
theory always leaves in the body politic fomc in-
conflitencies which human Plretight cannot provide
ogaitift. You !taw already done much for liberty,
/Ind not leis for ruislic tranquillity, and you are
now inverted with the power of exerting yourfelf
further for their fupport, as experience !ball
point out the neceility. It was not, however,
enough to feeate prefent happinels ; it was requi-
Ere to provide for the repofe of futurity, by pro-
el ping for an agitation of power without any •
cm:volt-ion, and by this wife providence to place
France beyond the reach of thofe periodical con.
vullions which gradually deftrny a State. To you
it belonged to refolve the grand problem of main•
taiiiing with !lability the exigence of nations, by
ref-peeling eq•tality, the fit It right and the firft pri-
viicgt of the French people. Without opening the
fiats: to licz:),.intifnefs, you have preferved to the
people the eight of manifefling their will ; with
out placing arms at the difpolal of tyranny, you
have in framed the Government as to invelt it
with the means of reprelling the arts of intrigue
aA the machinations of popular ambition. You
have given to national teprefentation a more per-
feet charade:, by attaching the Legifl.ttive Body
to the People, of whom they are the conftituted
organs. You have given a new exigence to a
Settee which, leaning on the one fide to the people
repreferaed in the Elcdnral Colleges, finds itfelf
on the other in dole conneelion with the heads of
the Government ; and by this means you have
eiiablithed the title intermediate balance betwixt
inhtient power and eflablifhed authority. Firft
Conful, the Legillt:t:ve Body, filled with admira-
tion of there ft) noble labour!, is proud to preft.nt
itfelf before you as tie interpreter of the fentiments
of the nation. It has confided to you during the
duration of your life the care ',of its defliny. It
retains along with you two Magitirates, chofen by
y,a,r;'elf, will, by the witjoni of their charader
and their eltenlive experience, have contributed
to alleviate the we;ght of your labours."

The Addrefs concludes with the urual common
place wiflies of lm-sg lifa, and that when fail of
glvry and of days he thniild receive the reward of
is virtues; his name, infcribcd in the fir( page of
ti:e nnnals of the Confulate, might prefent a grand
example to his Inectfrors, and to potterity a fubje&
of th profoundelt admiration.

The Archhillion of PARIS addretred BONAPARTE
in the followilg arains of adulation : " General
Ord Colifll—Thc applaitles, the joy, the delight
te:.ich appear , every life, are the molt eloquent
and the molt ~:e• ag proofs of the love, the con-
li.knce, the re;p:-, the f lbmidion, with which
the whole nation is penetrated for you. They
fc,:: the h. p; whit!' they are conflantly about
to tniuv under a perpetual Chief, who, covered
with glory, and with triumphs, Conqueror and
Paciacator of Europe, will be conflantly employed
in render ing them more happy and flourilhing by
re-eaabinhing among them religion, morality, juf•
tice, and good order. The Clergy, penetrated
with the fame fcntiments of love and of relpedt,
come with ea,-ernefs to lay at your feet their re-
fpeafiil honiac. They will never forget that it
is to your piety and your proration that they owe
their exiftence ; that k is to your zeal that they
owe the re.eaablifhment of their religion, the ex.
ercife and the liberty of their worfhip, the opening
of our temples, ancient and venerable monuments
of the piety of our fathers. Profoundly touched
with gratitude for thcfe benefits fo precious, we
come to make thcfe temples refound with fongs
of rejoicing, with expreflions of thankfgiving, with
prayers, with fupplications for the protection of,
your facred perfon, and for the continuation of
glory with which HEAVEN may never ceafe to
crown your days !"
The Firft Conful replied, "That the fentiments
erprefred in the name of the Church of Paris and
of a great number of Bifhops of the Church of
France, were more dear to the Government in pro-
portion to the very high efteem in which the ve-
nerable Archbilhop, who was their organ, was
held. The Government took the liberty of re-
commending to the Bifhops the Archbilhop of Pa-
ris as their pattern."

In the AddrefTes of the Prefelt of the Depart-
ment of the Seine, the Secretary General of the
Council of the PrefeCture, of the Prefident of the
Tribunal of Appeal, of the Prefident of the Cri-
minal Tribunal, of the Prefident of the Tribunal
in the Firft Inilance, &c. &c. there was nothing
at all remarkable ; they were mere repetitions of
flattery conveyed in the coarfell terms.
BR tFR e, Prefident of the Commiffaries of Na-
tional Accounts, in his addrefs exclaims, " Who
can better fullain the honour of the French name
than a hero celebrated by fo many memorable eon-
quetts and glorious exploits, which command the
admiration of the waiver& ? Who can better fecure
the happinefs of France than the Firft Magilirate,
who has given new life to the focial body, by te-
floring to it moral and religious inflitutions, and
who has juftified by fo many claims the choice of
the nation May HEAVEN witnefs the ardour of
our wifhes, and the fincerity of our prayers, to
grant you, General Conful, length of years! May
we long reckon your happy days by the years of
grandeur and profperity, which the wildont of your
Government (hail procure more and more for a
grateful country !"
In the addrefs of HAVY, Prefident of the Na-
tional Inflitute, there is the following curious par
fage Mae who are occupied in fludies which
require the greateft accuracy and prccifion, can
better appreciate in you that jorinefs of fentiment
which marks all your proceedings, which pervades
all your difcourfes ; thole fine and wife combina•
tions which paved the way for your vielories, and
that profound wildom, by the aid of which you
feized on the relations which were to connea peace
with your triumphs. Thofe. who, devoted to the
Rudy of antiquity, ranfack the annals of nations.
what the fine arts have done in imroortaliting the
fame of h.: .oes, of rages, of fathers of their country,
have fern ther titles hitherto ftparated indifferent
ages and nations, new all ccneentered in your
name. All have found objects, which have each
their language, to t:Ciilibe yoor grrat Fiefs."
Ite.sr Co' suL faid in his reply, " that he
feized wiili pie:llitre this opprtunity to congratu-
late the Intlitute or. the important work publithed
larl year by thcir Prefhlent—a work which would
form an epoch in the I.4cnce of mineralogy."
Citizen liflattaoN, Milliner of tlic Pr ae:tant Re-
ligion at Paris, and at the head of the Confilloi v
of Protellants in that city, began his addirls by
raying, " I ittsr CONSUL—the your
bcnifits renders Us more and more your ckbtors,
for we fee that nothing good, that nothing great
is above you. Others, after lb many labours, atter
fo mui.li fuceefs, would have alpired only after
repofe. Yout country lays to von, at an age when
the generality of mortals are but MI entering on
the c;:r'.ec ot glory, you have fulfilled every hope,
but you have not exl:aittled them. I requite the
devotion of your whole life. Ought not your
country to be immortal as your name ?"

The aufwer of the F►RST Cotoy I. to the addrefs
of (7 era 1 Mn T tEß,cemm and in g the firlimilitary
diviiion, is very remarkable. He Pays, "that the
liability and the ltrength of the Government can
alone give any faurioy to tbe fluation of the army, to
guarantee to its defenders the rewards which they
have merited, and, in (port, to maintain in the
fineft army in Europe that fpirit which leads to
victory, which renders it at once In dear to
,the
people, and In formidable to their enemies."
General Jr Nor, Commander of the National
Guard, fpoke as follows :—" General Conful, the
Officers of the Staff, the Chiefs of Battalion, and
the Adjutants reprelenting the National Guard of
Paris, exprefs through me their willies for your
happinefs, and their gratitude for the peace which,
after having conquered, you now confolidate by
acceptinl the Chief Magillracy for life. They
charge. me to affure rnu, and it is particularly
grat,÷tl to me to add my fentiments to theirs, that
if for the profperity of the French nation you have
confented to accept the Conful(hip for life, there is
no.. one of us who would not give up his life for
the FIRST CONSUL."

In the Mandamus of the Arehhifhop of Paris
relative to the•proceedings of this day, we remark
(nth-twiny. naffave I'hi• day France pro-

The head r.Fa nation is, from his r (See, conneged
ith each individual, and good laws arc more
dclirable than gold, and fwceter than honey.' It
is on this account that we molt earneftly call you
to the foot of the fared altars, to offer up to the
ALMIGHTY due thanks for fuch fignal Wettings.
We call you thither to offer up your ardent prayers
for preferving the precious life of our FIRST Con.
that yon may exclaim, in the pretence of the
molt Holy of Hoiies, as did the Hebrews in times
of old—rivat Scl,mne! that yon may earneftly
pray, as St. Paul recommends, for all thole in
authority over us, in order that we may quietly
pats our lives in all godlinees and chaftity.' We
call you thither in older to place under the power-
ful fandlion of the GOD of our Fathers, the laws
which guarantee the liability of the Republic and
fecurc the happinefs of Frenchmen : for men pals
away, but the laws are immortal. The (late ever
fttbfilts, and the merit of thofe who have ferved it
is immortal as the laws themfelves."
Cardinal CAPRAxA celebrated a folemn mats
yeflerday in tie church of Notre Dame, during
which he confecrated M. FESCH, uncle of the
Firft Conful, arclibilhop of Lyons. Madame Bo-
SAFARTI, mother of the Firft Conful, was prefent

courfe of people.
This day at eleven in the morning, the Mem-
bers of the Adminiarative Authorities of the de-
partment of the Seine and of the city of Paris,
I met at the Prefeaurate of the department, to
repair thence to the Palace of Government. At
four in the afternoon, the fame Authorities again
met at the Prefedurate of the department, to affift
in the metropolitan church of Notre Dame, at the
T. Dean:, which was channted by the Archbifhop '
of Paris. The Tribunal of Appeal, Criminal Tri-
bunal, Tribunal of Commerce, and the Jullices of
Puce of the Twelve Arrondiffements of Paris,
were prefent at this religious ceremony. At (even
in the evening a brilliant flar was difplayed on the
fumnsit of the towers of Notre Dame ; in the
centre of which appeared Virgo, the fign of the
zodiac, correfponding to the istit of Augull, the
birth-day of the Firft Coati].

At half after (even the Palace of the Prefe&n.
rate, Place Vendome, the former Hotel de Ville,
the chief place of each of the twelve Municipalities,
the Market Hall, and other communal ellablifh-
ments, and the eight columns of the portal of la
Magdelaine, were illuminated. The end of the
Pont Neuf was decorated with a fub-bafement bear-
ing a pedeflal, on which was placed the flatue of
Peace, voted by the Senatus-Confultum of Ther-
midor 14. An artificial fire work, confining of
one piece, was let off behind the name. At nine
o'clock two other fireworks were difplayed at the
fame hour ; one in the place of the former Hotel-
de-Ville, and the other from the Efplanade of the
Champs Elyfees. This brilliant fehival was em-
bellithed alfo by a general illumination.
