" Whatever the heart and ungentanding can suggest in such
matter, with regard to private families, ought to apply to the
great family of the State. None can have a greater degree "of
zeal than the Empress Mother for preserving the authority of
her charge, free from all attempts. No one can, like her, pre-
sent to the imagination of the people the imposing and proper
remembrances so as to render obedience noble and easy.
" A system of exclusion would constrain the choice of the
monarch. Prohibitory laws by the restraint which they impose
frequently contain the seeds of discord.

" In defect of the Empress, there is an order established, so
that there can be no uncertainty concerning the choice of a Re-
gent. In this matter the law, in respecting, hereditary rights,
has been obliged to enter into all the details of foresight, and to
adopt even wise precaution.

" The least interruption in the exercise of the Sovereign
power, would become a great calamity to the people.

" This power, during the minority of the Emperor, Is ,to be
exercised in his name and in his sole behalf by the Empress Re-
gent, or by the Regent.

" After them the Council of Regency will concur in the deci-
sion of matters of great importance, and fortify thtir authority
with all the weight of public opinion.

" 'l'he other articles of the project are eittier drawn from those
which I have just announced, or relate to them.

" In a matter so very serious you will judge, Messieurs, that
it will not be sufficient to weigh a few principles; the Legisla-
ture extends its views still further, and withr.ut aspiring to say
every thing, it is a part of its duty, to banish at first a number
of doubts, and to suffer but few questions to subsir.
" Whatever, Gentlemen, may be the utility of the disposi-
tions on which we call for your suffrages, yet it is pleasing to
hope that according to the order of nature, their application will
not occur until a period of time diatat.t and uncertain.

" Happy France, if all the Princes of this august dynasty
should not come to the throne until matured by age, animated
by glorious examples, and long nourished by the lessons of
wisdom." •

After this discourse of his Serene Highness, Mes-
sieurs, the Councillors of State presented a prtjet of
an organized &flatus Consultum, and M. Count Reg-
naud de Saint Jean d'Angely explained its motives.
MOTIVE OF THE SENATUS CONSULTUM ON THE REGENCY
OF THE EMPIRE, THE CORONATION CF THE EMPRESS,
AND THE CORONATION OF THE PRINCE IMPERIAL OF
ROME.

" MONSEIGNEUR SENATORS—To add new guarantees of
stability to our institutions, to insure in every case which expe-
rience can indicate, or prudence conceive, the uninterrupted
action of Government, to look forward with calm reflection on
the absence of every interest in the silence of all the passions, iu
banishing all sorrow to the difficulties which embarras a minothy,
this is the principal object of the important act which is present-
ed to your deliberation.

" The motives which have dictated these dispositions, Gen-
tlemen, are founded in the experience of nations, in the lessons
of history, in the traditions of the French Monarchy, In the ex-
amples offered in its annals.

" It will consequently suffice rather to indicate than develope
these motives, and in the hasty picture which I am going to
make, I shall follow the methodical manner traced out by the
Jawtui Cortultum.

TITLE I.

- OF THE REGENCY.

A Regency of the State has never been bestowed in France
by virtue of the General Laws, one only was granted by
Charles V. but which Was neither executed nor even acted on
afterwards.

The suffrages of the people, the vows of the Nobility, the re-
s Autions of the Council, the testaments of Monarchs, the arrets
of the Parli.lments, have successively, and almost always under
the public influence where secret passions, intrigue, seduction,
curt uption, or force bestowed the Regency of the State.
But in the midst of these various examples, it is the Regen-
cies of Queen Mothers that most frequently appear in our an-
nals, and which have always been most conformable to the
wishes of the nation and the interest of the State. Happily, Gen-
tlemen, fcr social order, it is in the strongest feelings of nature
that we find the greatest securities for the political opinion and
conduct, and this guarantee given by maternal tenderness be-
conics still more efficacious, as we have before our eyes the
happy example In the reciprocal affections which are born and
strengthened incessantly between a people sensible and good,
and the august Sovereign to whom they owe a successor to the
Throne.

It iL oa this happy principle that the first dispositions of the
Stratus Cutsuitum are founded, which grants the rights of Re-
gency to the Empress Mother who is consecrated to fill the void,
by interest, the love of her son and of her people.
_ _ _

It is not sufficient to have established this first rule; it is still
requisite that in failure of the Empress, that this disposition of
the Emperor, by utablisbing a gradual order, fixed and lava•
