Hereupon bis Imperial Msjesty responded a. follows
GENrLEMKN-The new reign which you this day
naugurato has not its origin, many others which
history records, in violence, conquest or intrigue
it's as you have Just declared the legal result Of the
will Of an entire people what it had founded in the
midst Of agitation.
am deeply grateful to the nation which three times
in four years has supported me by tie suffrage, and
which each time has only augmontedits minority in Or
der to incrcaf my power But the more this power
gains in extent and in vital force, the need has
Ct enlightened men like ihosewhon address, TO guide
me by their counse and reduce my authority with
in just lrnits if ever it should transgress them.
From this day take with the crown the name Of
Napoleon ILL.,, because the opinion Of the people has
already bestowed it me in their acclamations, be-
cause the Senate has legally proposed it. and because
the whole nation has ratified it.
Docs this however, signify that in taking this title
fall into the imputed TO the prince who return
ing from exile declared all that had been done in his
absence null and voidi
So erroneous notion is fer from me. Not only do |
recognize the governments which have preceded me,
bu, inherit in some sort what they have accomplished
Of GOOD and evil for successive Governments notwith
standing their different origin ore severaly bound by
the acts of their predecessors
But the more accept that which, for the last 30
ycars history hands down to with its inlexiblc au
thoriy the less was i allowed me to pass over in ST.
lcncc the glorious reign Of the chief Of my family and
the title regular although ophcneru Of his son, which
the Chambers proclaimed with the last ouburs; of con-
guercd patriotism.
Thus then the title Of Napoleon III il not one Of
those dynasic and obsolete professions which seem
insult alike to truth and sense is the hom-
age paid to Government which legitimate and TO
which we indebted for the finest pages of mod.
ern history. Ny reign docs not date from 1915 it
dates from the very instant that you have communica-
ted to me the sufrages Of the nation.
Receive, then Messscurs les Deputies my acknowl-
cdgmenis for the distinction you have given to the
manifestation Of the national will, rendering it
apparent by your supervision, and imposing by
your declaration.
thank you also Messiours le Senator'S for having

Assist me- all of you to establish in this land herass
cd by many revolutions, stable Government, based
religion, justice rroby and the love OF the humber
