thies, because I do not belong to the family of the Ideolo-
gists. To promote the welfare of the country it i 3 not
necessary to apply new systems ; but the chief point,
above all, is to produce confidence in the present, and
security for the future. For these reasons, it seems
France desires a return to the Empire. (Yes, yes ! pro-
longed applause, Vive l'Empereur )
" There is one objection to which I must rep
minds seem to entertain a dread of war ; certain persons
say, the Empire is only war; but I say the Empire is
peace—(sensation)—for France desires it, and, when
France is satisfied, the world is tranquil. (These words,
uttered in a firm voice, and with strong emphasis, pro-
duced a magical effect. Enthusiastic bravos were heard
from all sides.)
" Glory descends by inheritance, but not war. Did the
princes, who justly felt pride that they were the grand-
children of Louis XIV., recommence his wars ?
" War is not made for pleasure, but through necessity ;
and at this epoch of transition, where by theside of so many
elements of prosperity spring so many causes of death, we
may truly say—Wo be to him who gives the first signal
to a collision, the consequences of which would be in-
calculable. (Long and profound sensation.)
" I confess, however, that, like the Emperor, I have
many conquests to make. I wish, like him, to conquer,
by conciliation, all hostile parties, and to bring into the
grand popular current those hostile streams which now
lose themselves without profit to any one. (Applause.)
" I wish to restore to religion, morality, and opulence,
that still numerous part of the population which, though
in the bosom of the most fertile country in the world,
can scarcely obtain the common necessaries of life.—

(Sensation.)
" We have immense waste territories to cultivate, roads
to open, ports to dig, rivers to render navigable. a system
of railroads to complete ; we have opposite to Marseilles a
vast kingdom, which we must assimilate to France ; we
have to bring all our great western ports into connexion
with the American continent by a rapidity of communi-
cation which we still want ; lastly, we have ruins to
restore, false gods to overthrow, and truths to be made
triumphant. (Prolonged applause.)
" This is the sense which I attach to the Empire, if the
Empire is to be restored. (Cries of Vice l'Empereur .")
" Such are the conquests which I contemplate, and all
you who surround roe, and who, like me, desire your
country's welfare—you are my soldiers ! (Yes, yes—pro-
longed applause.)"
At Bordeaux the market girls, dressed in white dresses
and the high cap of the district, presented, in neatly-woven
baskets, fish, oysters, shells, fruit, honey, and ears of
rico, tho prr, nr, of the country, by one of themselves,
Mademoiselle Monperney, specially elected for the occa-
sion. The Prince was pleased to accept the offering, and
said

le, the fairest product

" You are yourself, Mademois
of the country. I thank you for your gracious attention."
He then spoke for some time to the young visitors,
and asked a number of questions concerning the articles
which they brought, saying something kind to each. The
fair deputation had nl•eady withdrawn, when the Prince
had the Mayor and Mademoiselle Monperney called back,
and then went himself into his bedroom for a magnificent
brooch, which he presented to the latter as a remem-
brace. Monseigneur,' said the young girl, visibly
moved, I bad no need of this jewel to cause me to re-
member you, for your image will always remain engraved
on my heart.'

THE ARRIVAL IN PARIS.
The preparations for the reception of the Emperor Louis
Napoleon f IL, as he is now designated, were pretty well
finished by about noon on Saturday. The weather was
magnificent; a cloudless sky, brilliant sunshine, and an
exhilirating breeze gave promise that the frail, however
gorgeous, triumphal arches, the gilded eagles, and flutter-
ing streamers would not be damaged and ruined, as on
the sad 15th of August. We are told by the Moniteur,
that the Government had nothing co do with the mise en
scene, which is the spontaneous work of the population
of Paris. This may be true ; nevertheless, it must be
avowed, for the sake of historical truth, that the Ville de
Paris and the proprietors of the theatres on the Boule-
vards share amongst them the credit of the decorations.
Throughout the passage of the Prince the cry of " Vive
l'Empereur" was astounding, and it was taken up all the
way to the gate of the Tuilleries, through which he en-
tered from the Place de la Concorde under a triumphal
arch, composed of evergreens and flowers, and surmounted
by an eagle and imperial crown.
The ascent of a balloon, on the arrival of the Prince,
from the National Arenas, signalled to the more distant
parts of the city the arrival of the Prince better than the
firing of the cannon or the peals of bells.
Having received the address of the city, the cortege
moved onwards.
The Prince was surrounded by a brilliant and numerous
staff. Several foreign officers were among the cortege.
The Prince generally rode in advance of his attendants,
so as to exhibit himself alone on his splendid horse, which
he managed with his customary grace, and constantly ac-
knowledged the greetings of the people.
The procession moved with sufficient rapidity to give a
dashing effect to the squadrons of cavalry composed of
several regiments, and altogether the sight was as ani-
mated as it was imposing. People looked with eager eyes
at the Emperor, for the word had got abroad that the
Senate had met, and would at the Tuilleries present the
Prince with the senatus consulte, praying him to accept
the Imperial crown. The rumour, although a little pre-
mature, added to the excitement of the moment.
