. . ,
those satisfactory eepresentationi Were• placed und,cr
your eyes, a shout of triumph reached us from Spain ;
the junction of our arinies was effected ; Badajoz was
delivered ; and Marshal Suchet had overthrow the
walls of Tarragona in presence of the English, the
mortified spectators of this victory. A gatrison of
18,000 men, courageous and obstinate, has not been
able to resist French valour ; 10,0(X) priFmters and a
great number of cannon and standards :tie 'he tro-
phies of the conquerors : noble presages, which con-
firm the hopes given to us a short time since by a
Monarch, all whose predictions victory is accustomed
to faired. _ _

At the same instant elks of distress issued from
the bosom of the British Isles ; credit, which supported
her colossal and factitious power, was shaken ; and
that Government, already banished from the Conti-
nent, but which nevertheless boasted, amidst the cum-
brous heaps of its manufactures, of being able to ex-
change its productions for all the gold of Mexico and
of Peru, is now forced to proclaim its error, to acknow-
ledge that it loses public confidence, and to propose
the enforcement of a paper-money.
Tke English Government desires war, the mono-
poly of commerce, and the domination of the seas ;
its allies are either destroyed or lost to it ; it ruins all
those whom it wishes to subsidize ; it exhausts its peo-
ple in useless efforts ; it is punished for its selfishness
by its state of insulation ; and, after having heaped
loan upon loan, tax upon tax, besieged by complaints,
threatened with commutions, it is reduced to propose
to the people, by way of resource, a fictitious money,
which has no other pledge but a confidence which
exists no longer.
" The Emperor, on the other hand, wishes for
peace, and the liberty of the seas ; he has 830.000
men under arms ; the princes of Europe are his allies;
his whole Empire enjoys profound tranquillity ; with.
out leans, withput anticipation, 951» millions, raised
with facility, secure the free execution of his noble
plans ; and his Majesty commissions us to address
you only in the language of satisfaction and hope.
44 What confidence,. gentlemen, ought this parallel
to inspire ? Diffuse it among your fellow-citizens.
Communicate to them the impressions you have re-
ceived ; your task will be easy : you will find them
all animated with the same sentiments towards a so-
♦ereign, who has no other object in his labours than
the happiness and the glory of his people."
M. de Segur, after having read the decree which
ordered the closing of the session, came down from
the tribune amidst acclamations of Live the Emperor!
M. the President then spoke, with the view of
pointing out, that it was the happy destiny of the
Legislative Body never to assemble, but in order to
associate themselves in the illustrious labours of the
Government, or to be able to form a better judg-
ment of their wisdom, by seeing their valuable re-
sults ; that the Deputies of the Legislative Body, after
having received through the medium of the Orator of
the Council of State, the assurances of his Majesty's
satisfaction, were happy in returning to their homes,
to have it in their power to communicate to their
fellow-citizens only new benefits on the part of Go-
vernment, and that no other obligation had been im-
posed upon them this session but that of gratitude.
Six copies were ordered to be printed of the speeches
of M. de Segur and of the President.
M. the President then, in conformity to the Decree,
declared that the session of 1811 was terminated, and
the Assemby rose.
