Sa Majeste l'Empereur en appreciant les travaux assidus qui vous ont donne une place distinguee au rang des plus illustres Astronomes de l'Europe, et la cooperation bienveillante, que vous n'avez cesse de temoigner aux Astronomes Russes dans les expeditions, dont ils etaient charges, et en dernier lieu par votre visite a l'Observatoire central de Poulkova, a daigne sur mon rapport, vous nommer Chevalier de la seconde classe de l'Ordre Imperial et Royal de St Stanislas.
