might-By- and-bye the Duke OF Cambarceres entered
from the apartments of the Emperor with the an

Louis Napoleon entered, and taking his seat on the
throne proceeded to read the address as follows:
MEssIEuRs yield to the wish often manifest
ed by the country in coming to announce to you my
marriage. :,
The alliance which l contract is not in accord with
the traditions of ancient policy, and therein is its ad
vantage France, by its successive revolutions, has
ever abruptly separated from the rest of Europe
Every wise Government ought to try to make it re-
enter in the place of the old Monarchles But tins
result will be more surely attained by straight for

royal alliances which create false security, and Oh

Moreover the xampe of the past has left in the mind
of the people supersttous feelings 1t has not for
gotten that for seventy years foreign Prncesses have
not mounted the Throne but to behold their race dis
possessed and prescribed by war or by revolution
One woman alone seemed to bring happiness, and to
live more than the others in the memory of the Peo-
ple--and that woman, the modest and good wife OF

the recollection of the blood shed by her father in the
cause of the Empire, she has, Spanard the ad
