May 11. He sends "a senatus-consult for the meeting of Parma and
Plaisance and Tuscany to France. You will present it to the private council, & when it will have been deliberated, you will bring it to the Senate. The speakers will say that Parma and Piacenza are united to the Empire, because they form the complement of the territory of Genoa| that the reunion of
Tuscany is necessary to increase our coasts and consequently the number of our sailors, and also to make central the port of Spezzia, where I ordered the establishment of a military port, like that of Toulon| that these provisions are thus the result of the necessity in which our enemies place us to put us in a position to arrive at the re-establishment of the liberty of the seas "... May 14. "I am sending you back all the requests for a majorat which are made to me. You must prepare for me a report on each of them which you will submit to me at the first meeting I have with you. It is up to you to take in the meantime all the suitable clarifications to know if the applicants have justified all the conditions required by the law, so that I can pronounce with full knowledge of the facts"... May 16. "There is nothing new here. Spain is very quiet, and it is necessary to look at the affairs more or less as finished"... May 17. "Present me with a draft decree to charge the lawyers at the Council with the prosecution of all cases before the Council of the seal of titles"... 21 May. He approves the request made by LACÉPÈDE for the adoption of his son. "There is no difficulty in granting letters patent of knighthood to State Councillors & others who can justify the income of three thousand francs required by law. [...] I am not of the opinion that salaries can serve as a fortune. [...] All the soldiers of my Guard who can make the same justification must also obtain letters patent. [...] I am of the opinion that the parent letters instituting a majorat must be registered and placed in the bulletin of laws, and that the registration must be made on a simple ampliation... - There is no inconvenience if you go to Fontainebleau to see King Charles when he arrives. I desire that my First Chamberlain Rémusat be at Fontainebleau to receive this Prince, and to arrange the appartemens. Several Ladies and M. de Luçay have received orders to go there. I had a hunting party kept there [...] The ministers should not be disturbed to go there"... May 25. On the future NAPOLEON III (born on April 20): "I wish that the son of the
King of Holland who has just been born is called Charles Louis Napoleon"... May 31. Reaction to a proclamation of the administrators of the Mint (on the demonetization of the coin of billon): "Is it a way to agitate the people? [...] I do not conceive either what the general
Clarke did, without giving you notice [translation of the heart of Vauban to
Invalides]. How can a minister hold a public ceremony in Paris without my having ordered it? [...] I really do not understand anything anymore about what is done in Paris"... June 9. "The King of Naples [JOSEPH] whom I recognized as King of Spain has been here for two days. [...] The King of Holland [LOUIS] writes to me that news from London of May 27 announce the death of the King of England.
This news made a great sensation here but I see with sorrow that the Courrier de Paris of today does not speak about it "... June 12. "The members of the Junta arrive here. You will see in the Moniteur the news from Spain. The King of Spain has been in Bayonne for three days, so that here is the Kingdom of Naples vacant"... 16 June. First conspiracy of General MALET. "I do not see any disadvantage that you attend the funeral of the Archbishop of Paris.
I want you to tell me about this affair in which Florent-Guyot & Jacquemont are compromised. What are these two men? June 17. He is struck by the interrogations of Florent-Guyot and Jacquemont.
"This affair deserves to be followed. Jacquemont denies everything, not only what Mallet says, but also what Florent-Guyot says. This man is obviously involved in a plot. [...] I beg you to make an investigation of the people who saw this Jacquemont every day. Send for the Prefect of Police and show him my satisfaction with the activity he is putting into the pursuit of this plot. [...] I am assured that the most extravagant statements are made at FOUCHÉ's house.
