 moment when acclamations welcom- 

 «d by the tribunate, have elevated 

 to the empire the great Napoleort. 

 Yes, gentlemen, this is the first time 

 since that memorable period, that 

 you are called on to seal with the 

 legislative poM er the alliance of the 

 throne under the fourth dynasty, 

 with the free and annual votes of 

 supplies. It is in this charter of 

 emancipation of the property and 



industry
