Theory of Sets, chapter III, § 6. Infinite sets

Every countable infinite set E is equipotent to N\mathbf{N}.

For Card(E)⩽Card(N)\mathrm{Card}(\mathrm{E}) \leqslant \mathrm{Card}(\mathbf{N}) by definition; and Card(N)⩽Card(E)\mathrm{Card}(\mathbf{N}) \leqslant \mathrm{Card}(\mathrm{E}) since E is infinite.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
