The Government candidate was M. Esmenard, who was also elected. The two new members were presented to the Emperor on the same day. On this occasion upwards of 400 persons were present in the salon, from one of whom I received these details. When the Emperor saw M. Lemercier, for whom he had long pretended great friendship, he said to him in a kind tone, "Well, Lemercier, you are now installed."

After the dances came songs, the words by Esmenard, author of the Navigation, the music by Stobelt. The marches, evolutions, and ballet were arranged by Gardel.
Literary genius remained deaf to his voice, and the real talent of several poets of a secondary order, Delille, Esmenard, Millevoye, Chenedolle, was not sufficient to triumph over the intellectual apathy which seemed to envelope the people he governed.
