decree of the 2-Ith Fructitlor, of the year l2p
has been regarded lky the Emperor mutely as
an expression of a general sentiment. That
sentiment has just rt4crived a full develope-
meet by a late Decree, auguienting the nimbus- of
prizes. New examinalions, new adjudications,
are become necessary. The Emperor wishes to bo
certain that they shall express that segtinieuts of an
enlightened public opinion, and to acquire &hip
