By order of the Emperor,
The Duke of BA 511 A NO, Secretary of State.
Fran the Imperial Palace of Compiegne, April 12, 1810.
The President (Count Montesquiou) then spoke as
follows:

'6 Gentlemen, Orators of the Council of State,
the proof of his satisfaction, which his Majestf has
been pleased to give to the Legislative Body, would
be alone sufficient to terminate gloriously a session
already so strongly recommended by the nature of
our labours, by the sentiments expressed in it, and by
the happy event of which We have felt the goodness
and the glory.
46 If the Penal Code has imposed upon us a vigo-
rous Ministry, laws full of humanity and of wisdom
have softened this painful duty.
" Support has been secured to our temples, and
that Holy Ministry, the source of all morality and
xirtue. Wise measures have been adopted for the
maintenance of hospitals. The state of a great num-
ber of communes has been ameliorated.

" The city of Paris has conceived projects worthy
of its high destinies, and has received the means of
executing them. The exploring of mines has been
encouraged. We see revived an industry too much
neglected among us, and of which our late misfor-
tunes have made us feel all the value.

,6 The finances of the Empire, far from requiring
new sacrifices, have only presented wise and useful
modifications, with the hope of seeing them still fur-
ther ameliorated.

64 Finally, a law of the greatest interest, and which
may be termed the completion of the Judicial Order,
has been adopted.
46 The Magistracy is going to resume that ancient
dignity, the First Magistracy of the Laws. A just
independence will defend it from the excess of power.
Such have been the works of this Session.
" But what interest has been spread upon our la-
bours ? These new pledges of peace, these glorious
nuptials, and their happy presages ; what long years
of happiness and repose are presented to our hopes.
May they multiply and render their authors as dear
to Europe as they are to this Empire. May this al-
liance, formed for the happiness of so many nations,
embellish the destinies of these Consorts, and crown
the expectations which we love to entertain."
The President having concluded his. speech, the
meeting renewed its applause.
The President then declared the Session terminated,
and the Legislative Body separated accordingly.
VIENNA, APRIL 14.
Our Court Gazette contains a formal contradiction
of a report that a Mr. Hoppe had, as Austrian
Charge d'Affaires, notified the marriage of the Arch-
duchess Maria Louisa, to the English Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs. We are," it says, “ an.
thorised to declare, that There is no Austrian Charge
d'Affaires in England, nor any other political agent,
who could have made an official notification of he
marriage, and consequently that the whole of the ar..
tide, both in substance and detail, is false and un.
founded."

His Imperial Majesty gave an audience to Count
Otto on the 10th, at six o'clock in the evening. at
which he delivered a letter to his Majesty from the
Emperor Napoleon, and seven cordons of the Legion
of Honour. His Majesty retained one for himself;
and presented another to the Archduke Charles, in-
tending to distribute the rest upon a future occasion.
A letter from Constantinople of the 10th ult. says,
do the Grand Seignior means to put himself at the
head of his Asiatic troops, in whom be has greater
confidence than in those of Europe. For some WOO
past, he has personally superintended their exercise.
The recent disturbances in Macedonia were mei.
sinned by some excesses on the part of the Janissaries,
and had no relation whatever to political events.
Macedonia, in fact. is one of the provinces that are
least desirous of a Revolution. Thessaly. and the Pim
of Greece, openly express their wishes for a char of
Government.'
