(From our own Correspondent.)
PARIS, Thursday Evening,
July 12, 1860.
The .I..fonitettr publishes to-day the imperial

decree pi-tirog,:iiing file session of the Corps Legis-

[atif till the 21st current; and alsa the official

report of the proceedings of the rneeting of this

Chamber on Tuesday last. The sitting was an

unusually stormy one ; but this does not of course
appear from the official account., It opened with a
speech from M. de Morny, in which he announced
that he hdd beer) commanded by the Emperor
to assure the members Cid liis Majesty had no

intention to exercise any pressure ,kbatever rela-
tive to their labours; that his desire was, that the

members should have time to examine all the
measures broight before them with care, and to
discuss them deliberately ; and accordingly he
(M. de Aiorny) was " commissioned to announce
that, with the view of enabling the Chamber to
deliberate upon the bill for the re-organisation of

the Judicial Bench, and the bill which had been
sent down fro± the Senate relative to the es:por-

tation of -rags, His Alajer,iy hcid prorogued the
session for eight days.'' I am giceil to Under-
stand that the Lower House are resolved to.

to adhere to their amendments on the rag
measure, arts! Unless a compromise of some kind be
agreed on, there is little chance of the collision
between the two bodies, which I adverted to the
other day, being avoided. A long disciission
on the Budget followed M. de Morny's address,

in which the Treaty of Commerce, and the peti-
tions presented to the Government by the
different classes of French traders and manufac-
turers, were specially referred to by M. MOrin de
la Drothes. The Speaker, after praising highly
the fiscal and financial arrangements of the
Government, and the system on which they were

based, by which; he alleged, the greatest impulse
had been given to the construction of railways
the development of persdridi property of every

kind, follovved by a corresponding increase in
the value of the soil, added that the English

treaty was fraught with effects not less con
siderable, and that already its operation had beet
attended by results of the most encouraging
nature! he condemned the course taken by those
parties who had petitioned against the, treaty,
because they apprehended injury to their
interests from the withdrawal of protective
duties ; and said that the Chamber ought
rather to listen to the appeals which have
been made to them to hasten the time for carry-
ing the • provisions of the treaty into effect :
some persons, he said, might consider these
demands as premature, but, for his part, he felt
satisfied that from the day on which cotton bales
were delivered free of duty in France and at the
same price as in England, the spinners and calico
printers. thank, to the superior cost of these
articles in France, would from that day have the
materials for
va development matinffigteg of. their
indUS.txY3-:1 :that the mercantile marine would also
ha,O'greatly enlarged opportunities of obtaining
-those which they possessed at present,,
under the system of parl:qation reservge ; and that
this was well app'r'eciated in England,. where it was
engaging due attention. He did not omit, also,
to refer to the advantages of the treaty in extend-
ing' and opening up the market for French wines,
which, he said, had already been realised to a
considerable extent. He was followed by M.
Emile 011ivier, who, while agreeing in all that
had been said as to the prosperous state of the
country, complained that nothing had beel done
by The Government to relax the stringent laws
relative to the press. The President sought to
interrupt him, on the ground that the laws
against journalism had nothing to do with a dis-
cussion on the budget, but ultimately M. 011evier
was allowed to continue, which he did in, per-
haps, the most independent harangue that has
ever been heard in the Chamber. When he had
concluded the sitting was adjourned. The general
opinion seems to be, as I have said above, that. a
crisis will be attempted, but it is difficult to see
how it can be reached, in presence of the perfectly
absolute control which has been reserved by the
Emperor over both branches of his legislature.
The elevation of Admiral de Rigault de Genou-
illy to the dignity of Senator is likewise announced
to-day, together with a large promotion in the
lower grade of commissioned officers in the navy.
I infer from this that the Syrian expedition will
be on an even larger scale than I have previously
given you reason to suppose. The Constittclionnel
publishes a telegram stating that Fuad Pasha has
been invested by the Sultan with full and abso-
lute powers for the pacification of the distur-
bances ; but it is more than doubtful whether
he will be equal to the emergency. Would it
be very uncharitable to suppose that France hopes
they will not' The Emperor is to pay a visit of
some duration to Toulon on the 16th or 17th of
this mouth. He is to remain a week. Great
preparations are being made for his reception.
What a convenient position this port affords for
frequent communication between His Majesty
and his squadron in the East!
I have nothing additional to say respect-
ing the state of matters in Naples and Sicily.
In Naples, the people are exhibiting fully as
much confidence as was expected of them in
the new Constitutional Ministry, and in Sicily,
the great heat, and the new arrival of considera-
ble reinforcements, in men, materials and guns,
which are on their way to Garibaldi—considerable
additional quantities of the two latter have
been ordered, I see, from Liverpool among other
places—accounts for a state of comparative inac-
tion for which it would otherwise be difficult to
account... In publishing the amnesty declared by
Francis 11., the Constautionnel observes that its
terms are without exception or restriction of any
kind, and asserts that the King has received the
felicitations :of most of the members of the diplo-
matic corps on the occasion of his promulgation of
the Constitutibn, and that the Nuncio of his Holi-
ness
was one of the first to give them. The Prince
Pet.rulla has, after all, been induced to consent to
go to Turin as Minister plenipotentiary, in order
to induce.:Vietor Emmanuel to agree to the
lmnffered :alliance. Probably he has yielded to
the entreaties of Baron Brenier.
There seems little doubt that the Pope, has
'consented to " reforms ;" but a good deal,
whether the extent of the promised boons be not
considerably exaggerated. I believe they are limi-
ted to some changes in the administration and a
reorganisation of the judicial tribunals. At the
the same time, as it is now positively asserted
that:General Goyon has been recalled from Rome,
and 'the command of the French troops entrusted
to General de Noue, it would appear that the
concessions are regarded as likely to remove appre-
hensions of any of these serious outbreaks which
General Goyon's personal presence in Rome had
en much:effect in restraining.
The Count de Montemolin has transmitted a
long letter to Queen Isabella, in which he has
if possible, made matters even worse.
Wheat of excellent appearance and quality,
grown in the neighbourhood of Marseilles, was
exhibited at the Halle on Tuesday.
