"To.day II IL M duty 10 explain sgsin 10 son thst
which 10 appears TO me yOu have forgotten. WINS,
have ever been my principles To reassure Europe,
10 restore France TO her true rank among tae nations
to cement closely CUr alliance with England, end ~
regulate with the continental Powers OF Europe the
extent Of Our rfstiCDs according 70 the conformity OF
our views and 'hs patuTe Of :hOse relations toward

third declaration, made, at Bordeaux, this decars-
ton: The Empire IL peace was anxious to prove
bv that expression tst although the heir Of Napoleon
L. had sscerded the throne, be would inaueurate
sysem which could only be disturbed Tor the purpose
Of defending great national interests.
" With respect % the alliance with England, have
used al my perseverance to consolidate It, and have
fouud on tie other side Of the Chanue happy Tocip-
rocaton Of sentiment on the part Of tho Queen az on
the part Of al satesmen Of every shade OF opinion

NOUS attacks dictated by precdoe, even the nations
ap.luatbies of my own county. This alliance las
borre its ruts. Not Only have we acquired together
lasting glory in the East, but at the eStrmity OF the
world We have juet opened an iInense empire 10 the
Drcerefs q civilization and Of the Christian religion.
Sjuce the establishment Of peace, my relations
with Russia have Assumed character oil the Tdnkest
cor6ialty became ace sgreed upon all the points
in dispute.
~ am equally justified in conrStulating myseif on
my relations with Prussia which have never ceased to

"The Cabinet of Vienna and that OF France on the
co ntrary speak It with regret have dis agreed upon
important questions, snd il required most concla-
tory spir. 10 succeed IN arranging them. FOR ln-
stance the reconstruction Of the DanuDan prrcpshtes
hae TCt beer completed without many difficulties winch
dimniabed the full 5afactiou OF their most legitimate
desires and if asked what interest France mas
Ia those distant countries wstered by the Danube,
sboud reply that the interest of France is everywhere
where there is jest cause aud where civilization
ought to be made to prevail.
6 In this state of things there s nothing e1traor-
binary that Frsnce should draw closer 10 Piedmont,
which proved hersef so devoted d1ring the war, so
faithful 10 policy during peace. The happy union
of my well loved cousin Prince Napoleon with the
daughter Of King Victor Emanuel is not one OF those
unusual facts TO which some hidden reseOn must be
attributed but the ua.ua consequence OF tue commit
