Such was the homage he paid to the sovereignty of the people, which was soon to be trampled under his feet! An extraordinary convocation of the Council of State took place on Monday, the 10th of May. A communication was made to them, not merely of the Senate's consultation, but also of the First Consul's adroit and insidious reply.

Say that I am the Senate's that it is not discreet to urge a daughter of the state thus say what thou wilt but speak them fair." "Ha! it is Don Camillo Monforte!
