Sr Cumin, Oc r. 17—To.day (Sunda.,) on returning item mass, her Maksty the Empress Queea and Ittent gave an audience to the litnicipal Corps of the City of Paris, who were presented her by hi s Excellency the Minister for the Interior. The Perfect of the Department of the Seine, as President of the Municipal Corps of Paris, had the honour of presentiog to her Majesty the following Address, which bail been voted by the Monicipal Corps : " ManAst--What Frenchmen could remain deaf to the voice of the Emperor, to the call of the cottony and that of honour. The appeal which your Majesty has just has reverberated m all hearts ; they feel the necessity of declaring those generous sentiments which were at all times the noble inheritance of France. " That esteem which your M,,jesty so long ago conceived for this great nation, the love which you bear it, the hopes which you have given t ise to, shall not be dt ceived ; the august daughter of Maria Theresa can never invoke the courage and energy of nations ; Frenchmen will have no rivals iu their love for their Sovereigns : no sacrifices, no effints can be painful to them, when honour commands them they would not know how to live w i t h o ut glory, and never shall die Crown of their Emperor be despoiled of its laurels. Such is the unanimous oath which they to-day take at all points of the Empire ; such arc the sentiments which the good city of Paris comes to express to you, by carrying to the feet of your Majesty the tribute of its respect and of its devotion. " Never did the bond which attaches and unites subjects round their Sovereign demand to be more strengthened ; jealous powers already divide among themselves portions of this fine Empire ; they even convey and negociate respecting them, even before having required any right over them. And in order to render this delirium still more odious in the annals of history, a Prince, who owes his renown but to the honour of fighting in our ranks, is the first to set this unheard of example. He collects all those whom hatred and ,- the love of intrigue had forced far from •us ; he misleads the policy of a nation at All times our a By ; he compromises a throne to which the good offices of his Emperoe conducted him ; he directs without remove, and with good will, the sword against his cottony. Ile has ceased to be a Frenchman; let us forget that he had a country But will his image be preserved among those of our &Wild heroes? But if some misled Frenchman remain with him, will they be able to forget honour which reproves them,laws which condemn them,and sacred oaths which bind them t Let us turn from a thought so painful, and let the remembrance of this memorial ingratitude, if it is pee be for ever effaced. " Madam, it iN by redoubling their zeal and love it is he firing their attention upon that august throne to which your 111,-;esty has carried with all the virtues, the noble courage of your grandmother, that the inhabitants of the good city of Paris will anxiously en deavour, as faithfUl subjects, to discharge all that they pwe to their Prince and to their country. " We. arc, with the most profound rcpect, Madam, your Imperial tral Hoynl Majesty's very humble, very submissive, vet) faithful subjects, the Members of the Municipal Corps of the city of Paris."
