Impr. à BOURGES, Impr. et Litho. De A. Jollet Fils, Imprimeur de la Préfecture et de la Mairie. "Messieurs les Sénateurs, Messieurs les Députés, Le Corps Législatif va commencer sa dernière session... En Orient, le vœu national des Provinces Danubiennes de ne former qu'un seul peuple ne pouvait trouver nous insensibles ... Nos armes ont défendu l'indépendance de l'Italie sans pactiser avec la Révolution.... Trade treaties have been signed or are about to be signed with England, Belgium, Prussia, Italy and Switzerland. Finally, expeditions to CHINA, Cochinchina and MEXICO prove that there is no country so far away where an attack on the honor of France goes unpunished.... A vast territory has opened up to our activity in the Far East... The Empire's situation would be flourishing if THE AMERICAN WAR had not dried up one of the most fertile sources of our industry...
