PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
The University has made progress. Some
Lyceums were badly Constituted 4; the prin-
.ciplts of religion, the foundation of every
isStitntl"H, as OF all morals, were remoyed
or were feebly practISed. The Grand Mas
ter, and the council of the Univer,ity nave
Iemedied the greatest part of those abuses
mere remain, however, many things to be
done to realize the hopes and the views of
the EMPEROR in this great creation.
FAMILY education Is that which deserves
most encouragement; but since parents are
so often obliged to confde their children la
colleges or institutions, the intention of the
emperor IS that the orgs nizaiion Of the u.
University should extend to all The colleges
and institutions of every degree, to the end
that education may no longer be like a ma
nutactuTe or q branch uf commerce. eyer

direct education, is one OF the noblest frnc-
tons OF a fa'her Of a family, or one oc the

number OF Lyceums and that of mmu
colleges will be augmented, and the mum

Diminished, until the moment when thev
all shall be closed.
All pubic education must be governed
by military discipline, and not By civil or
ecclesiastical police. The habit of militia
ny discipline is the most useful, since, in all
the classes OF life, the citizens have need OF
beng able TO defend their property against
interior or exterior enemies.
Zen years are vet requisite IN order that
all the good mat IL Nj expects from the
University should be realised, and his views
be accomplished ; but great advantages have
already been obtained, and what now ex
