a strict economy, and by the reduction of their

claiming The Empire, on the 9th Nav, ami.
versary of the Emperor's death. On the frat
point the answers of Count Turgot were con-
sidered satisfactory. The minister of foreign
affairs repeated once more the same assurances

such appeals would be answered by tho uni-
