SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR.

Pears, Monday.
In opening the Chambers, the Emperor delivered an address
to the following effect :

" The conferences at Vienna have unhappily not resulted in
Team. I.come then to make a new appeal to your patriotism.
" The conferences have justified the conduct of the allies,
and evinced their moderation.

" Propositions, which I will call magnanimous, on account
,of their disinterestedness, have been made by us and rejected.
" We are still expecting of Austria the execution of her en-
gagements, -which were to render the alliance offensive and
defensive; and should negotiations not lead to a peace, the
admirable devotion of the army and navy will soon, I hope,
bring about that result. You will continue to give the means
of carrying on the war.
"I had intended to place myself in the midst of the army,
where the presence of the Sovereign would not have failed to
produce a happy influence, and where I should have been wit-
ness of the heroic efforts of our soldiers. I should have been
proud to be able to direct them ; but grave questions abroad,
and important measures at home, force me with regret to
abandon the project.
"No extraordinary levy will be requisite. Let us have
confidence in God, and persevere, so shall we arrive at a peace
worthy of the two great nations."

THE FUNDS.
English Funds were inanimate all day, and sustained a
slight decline. In Railways an excess of sales, and prices re-
ceded from ss. to 10s. per cent. Land, Bank, and Foreign
Stocks quiet, and weak at our quotations.
