PARIS, August is.

Yesterday was glorious day for
Frenchmen; the inhabitants of Paris
in an especial manner proved that
the anniversary Of the birth of their
august Sovereign was for them the
fete Of love and gratitude.
In the evening, the Theatres,
which were opened gratis. offered
the most animated, the most touch
ing picture.
On the day Of the fete, at six in
the morning, cannon gave the signal
for pleasure and joy. New benefits
still added to the lively effusion of
those sentiments ; for on all those
solemnities dedicated to Napoleon,
he is pleased to found for his people
useful monuments. Thus, last year,
on the 18th Of August, was laid the
first stone of the Palace Of the Uni
versity and Fine Arts, and that of
the Palace forthe Imperial Archives.
This year. on the same day, the
Navigation of the canal of the
Oureq between Paris and Glaye was
opened !; and the first stones have
been laid for the markets of ST..
Germans, Carmes, and Blanes Man
teaux. We will not here enumerate
the vast conceptions every year ex-
ecuted for the public utility, and
terminated at this happy epoch, not
only at Paris, but throughout all
parts of the empire.-The creation
of the port Of Cherbourg is one of
those memorable events. the eclat of
which is lost in the midst of glory
which surrounds our invincible
Emperor, but it alone would be suf-
fieient to immortaiize another Sove-
reign.
