Recorder proceeded to read the addres
of the Emperor, the Empress arose an
stood by the side of her husband. Ma
poleon's reply to the address was il
the following terms: 9t
my Lord Mayor-After the cordia
reception 1 have received from tn,
Queen, nothing could effect me NOR
deeply than the sentiments towards tn,
Empress and myself. to which you, my
Lord Mayor, have given expression OF
the part of the city Of London; fol
London represents the available re,
sources which a worldwide commerce
affords both for civilization and for war
Fiattering as your praises are, l accept
them because they are address so much
more to France than to, myself; they
are addressed to nation whose interests
are to-day everywhere identical with
your own (applause;1 they are address
ed to an army and navy united to yours
by an heroic companionship in danger
and in glory renewed applause;) they
are addressed to the policy of the two
Governments, which is based on truth,
on moderation and on justice.
"For myself l have retained on the
throne the same sentiments of sympa-
thy and esteem for the English people
which / professed as an exile cloud and
prolonged cheering, while | enjoyed
here the hospitality of your Queen; and,
if l have acted in accordance with my
convictions, it is that the interest of the
nation which has chosen me, no less
than that of universal civilization, has
made it duty. Indeed, England and
France are naturally united on all the
great questions of politics and of hu-
man progress that agitate the world
From the shores of the Atlantic to those
Of the Mediterranean; from the Baltic
to the Black Sea-from the desire to
abolish slavery, to our hopes for the
amelioration of all the countries of Eu-
rope; see in the moral as in the politi-
cal world for our two nations but one
course and one end. Applause. 1t
is, then, only by unworthy considera-
tions and pitiful rivalries that our
union could be discovered. If We fol-
low the dictates of common sense alone,
we shall be sure of the future. Loud
."You are right in Interpreting my
presence among you as fresh and con-
vincing proof Of my energetic co-opera-
ton in prosecution of the war, if we fail
in obtaining an honorable peace. Zap
plause. Should we so fail, although
our difficulties may be great, we may
surel y count on successful result; for
not only are our soldiers and sailors Of
tried valor-not only do our two coun-
tries possess within themselves unrival-
ed resources-but above all--and here
lies their slperiority-it is because they
are in the van of all generous and en-
Iightened ideas. The eyes Of all who
suffer, instinctively turn to the West
Thus our two nations are even more
powerful from the opinions they repre-
sent than by the armies and fleets they
have at their command. (Great ap-
plause.l l am deeply grateful to your
Queen for affording me this solemn op-
Dortunity Of expressing to you my own
sentiments and those of France, of
which l am the interpreter. / thank You
n my own name and that Of the En-
press, for the frank and hearty cordiali-
y with which you have received u.s.
We shall take back to France the lasting
Impression made on minds thoroughly
lble TO appreciate it, of the imposing
petacle which England presents, where
Iirtue on the throne directs the destinies
# country under the empire of liber-
y without danger to its grandeur"
In the evening Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert, Napoleon and Eugenia,
