The grand ceremony OF presenting to the Emperor
the Official declaration Of the result OF the late vote
given by the French people took place to-day at one
O'Clock in the Sale des Etats OF the Louvre. The
scene one OF unusual splendor, and although in
some particulars resembling the great annual sitting
at the opening OF the Legislative session, was inf
Niteiy more imposing. The general arrangements
OF the spacious hall for the public were scarcely
changed, but some important notifications had
ated to his Majesty and the Court. on this occa-

the throne placed on raised estrade under a dais
with chairs Of state for the Prince Imperial Prince
Napoleon and the other princes OF the Imperial
family on the right next the Emperor; while on the

were to stand the great officers OF the crown,
and behind the Empress the ladies' OF the imperial
household and those attending on the various prin-

Of the Prvy Council. marshais, admirals, grand
crosses Of the Legion Of Honor, &C.

occasions, close to him, and the other TWO apart.
The whole three would have to come together,
and hence the position OF tho Council OF State
was forced!y changed. The three Great Holes were
therefore placed in front and the letters Of conyo
cation to the Counsell0rs OF State made use OF the
expression-'The President OF Section, Masters OF
Requests, Auditors and ordinary members shall
hind the Senate"
On the left parallel with the Senate, seats for
the legislative body. Behind were places for all
the depuiati0ns, courts OF law, Institute OF France

Police, high functlonares In the various Ministries

battalion OF the National Guard, &c. The diplo.
