The Profit of the Seine, and the Members of the
Municipal Commission of the City of Paris, to the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, sad Commons of the City of London, in
Common Council assembled :

"My Lord and Oentlemen,—The august sovereigns of
England and of France are cementing by personal marks of
friendship the intimate alliance of our two nations, end the
City of Paris readily and earnestly seises this memorable
opportunity of addressing to the City of London the peril-
cater testimony of her cordial sympathies.
" In the interest of civilisation, the close alliance of the
two countries cannot be manifested too frequently, nor can
it assume forms too varied. Whilst it is displayed in the
councils of Europe by the identity of their respective will
and actions, on the seas by the solidarity of their national
colours, on the fields of battle by a community in dangers
and farriery, it is right that it should be found not less real
in the am:Copts relations of their princes, in the fraternal
aommunications of their cities, and even in the habitual
intercourse of their populations.
" The City of Paris preserves a deep remembrance of the
visit with which the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and members
of the Common Council honoured them after the Loudon
General Exhibitioa. The city of Paris is greatly gratified
for the friendly invitation which, at this approaching period
of the Paris General Exhibition, you, my Lord Mayor and
gentlemen here made to the magistrates who represent the
French NOW.
"Thin periodical competitione,during which learned men,
manakenagers and anima, compare their discoveries, their
re==itheir works, and draw, without ceasing, new
lhandl sew emulation, have not only ,for effect
the blending blether of that enlightenment which ndiatatti
from the awe principal intellectual centres, England and
.France, they powerfully contribute, moreover, to establish
between the two satiate, a coolunctioa of ideas, a con-
formity of views, and traditions of concord, which secure for
the future the tranquillity of the world and the welfare of
mankind.
" On the eve of the great national solemnity now in prepa-
ration, it is, therefore, my lord and gentlemen,' canes of is-
tents satisfaction for the city of Paris, to be able to proclaim
spin by a public manifestation, the bonds of the high
esteem and of the faithful affection which unite ler to the
City of Leads's.

The Recorder then read the following reply to their
address :
"To the Prefect of the Seine, the President and Members
of the Municipal Commission of Paris.
"Monsieur le Prefet and Gentlemen,—We, the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, end Commons of the City of London in
Common Council assembled, receive with deep gratitude
end lively eatirfection the address of sympathy end friend-
ship from oar brethren of the Municipality of Perla ; and
we accept it as a pledge of amity and mutual esteem between
these greet cities.
". While we have celebrated with exultation the meeting
of the illustrious sovereigns of France end Great Britain
upon our soil, and have recorded with pride the visit of the
chosen Emperor of the French people to our ancient juris-
diction, we heartily unite in the belief that the interchange
of marks of confidence and affection between the people of
the two countries and the public bodies representing them,
is not less important or less essential to a lasting alliance
then the personal intercourse of princes; nor can they be
reiterated too often or repeated in too many forms. We
trust that these demonstrations of cordiality between our
nations will convince alike our common enemies and our
common allies how iadisseluble is the union of oar interests
and feeling..
" If, Mondial le Prefet, the City of Paris has retained
the remembrance of the visit it was the happinsin of meg
of us to make to your beautiful and classic city, on the cite.
elision of the Great Eskibitin of London, by your courteous
levitation, those who witnessed the noble hospitality of the
Hotel de Ville, and shared the reception then given us by
the authorities and inhabitants of Paris, can never forget
the splendour of the one or the warmth and generosity of
the other.
" We unite in regarding such Temerity assemblage of
friendly nations to do homer' to genius sad feet', sklll and
industry, whether in the arta and science; learned, or in
manufactures, or in the cultivation of natural products, as
the best safeguards under Providence for the future peace
of the world, for the expansion sad enlightenment of the
heart and mind of man, and the religious and general
advancement of the human race. We look forward there-
fore to the Universal Exhibition of Paris as another epoch
injthe great march of time and civilisation, and in the
emulous contest for national superiority in the arts of
Peace ; we do not doubt that the varied and exquisite crea-
tions of the fertile, skilful, and refined spirit of the French
people will again be pre-eminent amongst us.
" 'While our armies and our navies are contending side by
side, and rallying to 'forty in the cause of justice and of
right under the blended colours of our national flags, it is
with heartfelt gratification and pride that the citisens of
London seise this opportunity of doing honour to the re-
presentatives of the capital of France. Thus hand la baud
we shall exhibit to the attentive oyes of all nation'', and to
future generations of our countrymen a fresh proof of the
deep and affectionate attachment, uniting the hearts of the
people, and identifying the unbounded resoling* of the
French and English empires.
(Signed) Mntinwrnizz, Town Clerk."
The Prefect and the deputation then bowed, and took
their leave of the court amid enthusiastic cheering.
Deputy Hamittion—My Lord Mayor,—l em sure I am
giving expression to the general view, of the court wheel
ask your lordship the privilege of permitting me to noiree

Mr. FAIIIIO.—I have the honour to sewed the mood-
tion of my Mend, and I have no doubt this court will snail-
measly agree to it.
Mr. Joins moved—" That the address and the reply to
it be entered upon the journals of the evert."
