is from the speech of Canga Arguelles,

King's speech, of France, which contains
the memorable invocation to the God of

"Let us," said the orator, " reply to
the pi oud power that tin eauns us with an
army protected by the (.od of Saint Lou

who protected the Spaniard, in Homes

and trust in him for Ihc victory." The
other spcci hes rnaniiest the greatest con

utmost enthusiasm to vtpport the national
honor. May this spectacle of a united
