ANOTHER SPEECH BY M. JITLES FAVRE.

(mom OUR OW COl

mom)

PARIS, TUERDAY EVENING.

In the Corps Legislatif to-day M. Jules Favre
spoke in support of the amendment of the five
members recommending the immediate evacuation
of Home. He said :

The amendment was in substance the same that they pro-
posed last year. For that reason he would be very reserved
in his observations, and would endeavour to nee such argu-
ments only as were applicable to the new situation and the
present policy of the government. He could not call the
present state of things a slate quo, for the government
either did not know or would not say whether the
present state of things was to continue or not. Its
policy appeared to him, until the contrary should be
proved, uncertain and equivocal. This uncertainty weighed
heavily upon the country, authorised all sorts of conjec-
tures, and encouraged dangerous intrigues. And one of his
reasons for thinking that he rightly judged the situation
was the unlooked for conversion of several of his colleagues
who last year attacked the government with extreme
vivacity. Then they inquired fiercely, " Who are you for!
Are you the enemies or defenders of the holy see? If
you are its defenders, help it to reconquer its lost do-
minions—and if you continue to sanction spoliation by
your presence your protection is nothing bat tyranny.
You are but • guard of honour, watching the
death struggles of a dying man. You are only at
Rome to prevent others from coming there." But now
he found the same men thanking the government for
Its solicitude, and recommending it to " persevere," and to
"reserve," both which expressions were very significant.
Persevere in what courts? It was important to inquire. If
the word perseverance applied only to the dismantled papal
power, humiliated by misfortune, and now passaging but •
shred of its former territory, the modesty of the preposition
was inconsistent with what had been said of the neareity
for a temporal power. As to the word " reserve,"
it was more intelligible. It was wished to " reserve"
the case of some great European confusion following as
event easy to be foreseen. That was • hope which he would
not leave to his adversaries, because it was • menace to the
tranquillity of France and Europe.

The Presae has received a warning for an article
of March 10, by M. repeat, commenting upon a
debate on the Corps Legislatif in a manner which,
according to the terms of the warning, " attacks
a law of the state," and contains "unfaithful and
libellous" reports of the discussion. This is a
very lamentable and reactionary measure, and
one quite in accordance with the anti-
liberal attitude assumed by the ministers with-
out portfolio. It is a backing up of that extraor-
dinary proposition of Count de Morny's, that a
law may not be said to be a bed law by the repre-
sentatives of the people, whose office is to make
and unmake laws, and who are consequently autho-
rised critics of all laws whatever. Count de Per-
signy, in signing this warning, shows himself
incapable of understanding that valuable distinc-
tion so well known in England, between the respect
due to every kw, merely because it is law, so long
as it is in force, and the free criticism which con-
stantly tends to procure the repeal or alteration of
all laws that are bad. Co unt de Pereigny, like
Count de Morny and M. Baroche, treats all
existing laws as sacerdotal dogmas which it is
heresy to question. This doctrine won't do after
Nov. 24, 1860. The government must either go
resolutely backwards, or allow the representatives
of the people to use their newly-acquired freedom
of speech for the purpose of pointing out the amend-
ments which existing laws require. As M. Picard
admirably said when pressed by M. de Morny's in-
terruptions, " 1 use the liberty for which you say I
ought to be grateful in the only way in which it
can be of any use—namely, to ask for more."
In consequence of the warning to the Presse, the
Opinion Nationale announces its determination to
refrain from all comments upon the debates in the
Corps Legislatif, and to confine itself to the servile
reproduction of the official report. Meanwhile the
government journals libel the " five " opposition
members without the least restraint, and they
certainly will not complain.
The Bourse was dull. The Rents fell a few
centimes in the course of the day, but recovered for
the close, and left off at Mr. 85c. and 70fr., with
a rise of 6c. and 10c. Mobilier rose 2fr. 50c. The
Italian Loan fell 10c. In railways there was no
notable change.

ARRIVAL OP THE VICTORIA TRANSPORT.

(THIS DAY.)

PLYMOUTH, WIDNRSDAT MORNING.

The screw steamship Victoria, Captain Ander-
son, arrived this morning. She left Queenstown Feb. 14,

The following is a translation of a letter from the
Emperor Napoleon to Mr. Everett, the American states-
man :—"Compikno, Nov. 24, Vita. —Sir,—l have read
with the most lively interest the speech which you deli.
vered at the dinner at which his Imperial Winer Prince
Napoleon was present, end which you have trans-
mitted to me. I am happy to have found, in
language full of cordiality and frankness, the
animated expression of the sentiment. which have for so
many years united America and France. I bare also been
particularly touched at the just homage rendered to the
genius of the chief of my family. Receive my sincere
thanks, and have the goodness to be my interpreter to your
honourable compatriot Doctor Holmes for his song—se full
of inspiration—of 'Vive la France.'—Believe, sir, in my
distinguished consideration, NAPOLEON. - Mr. Everett,
Boston."

The Rev. Father Felix began his conferences at
Notre-Dame, Paris, on Sunday, in presence of a numeral.
congregation. The subject treated this year is the progress
of catholicism in an intellectual point of view.

We read in Ga/ignoni :—" The railway from
Leghorn to Ciwita Vecchia has been conceded to an English
company, for which Messre. Brassily and Buildioom are to
execute the earthworks and works of art. The mschines
and rolling stock which served two )ears back for remaking
the line from Rouen to Dieppe, by them contractors, are to
serve for the construction of the Italian line. One of the
locomotives has been already met off to Mammals', where
it will be embarked for Leghorn, and tho remainder of the
stock will be sent to the same port from Dieppe. The other
carriages and machines will be constructed at the works of
Mr. Bream. at Birkenhead."
Captain Vine Hall, late commander of the
Great Pastern, has arrived at New Zealand. and commenced
his duties as superintendent of the mail steam packet ,line
running between New Zealand and Australia.

which ascended the staircases, that the hands in all the upp
portions of the building expected the rooms beneath its,

action b. Mr. against Mr. Lester. The
act of bo.nkrupt..y on which the adjudication had

in bankruptcy ag dust Mr. Scott Russell, a Mr. Dixon, the
petitioning creditor iu that bankruptcy, while nisi exami-
nation ocher the commissioner as to his debt, was paid •

Russell, and on receiving such sum Duos lad it's-
mediately withdrawn from the witness box, and resiesaced

Thereupon the commissioner pronounced pro feels a en
adjudication in that bankruptcy, which, however, was bn-
meiliately afterwards annulled. It was alleged, ea be-
ear of Mr. Lester, that this was a valid act of
siini.•icrit to support the present adjudication underbairergint
section of the Bankrupt Act of ISM This was„ however,
den"! by counsel for Mr. Russell, who alleged that, to
constitute such an act of bankruptcy, the payment to

himself, or by his authority or direction, whereas
it had been mole in express opposition to hi. wishes ; and
that it must also be shown to have been made in a then

before them, consisting of the addition of °video-se resulting
froin the SIS01:11A(100 of Mr. Newman and a Mr. Edwards,
to those behoc the comminioner, they were tumble to
arrive at the conclusion that the 1,100/. paid to Mr.
Dixon had been paid with Mr. Russell s money, or
with money borrowed by him for the purpose,

Mr. John Merriman West—l am a music master, aodhave
raided at Statham twenty-two yearn. After Mr. Burroughs
had been lame time in the village I became intimate with
him. In 18e0 ho acted for my son in an affiliation case ;
and he frequently came to the house about that. He
afterwards transacted business for myself, and is
still doing so. He came sometimes In the morn-
ing and eornetimes in the afternoon to see
me. He Wu also spent the evening with us ; but never
with my daughter alone, except on one occasion. Sometimes
his visits averaged two nights in the week. I remember the
review of the volunteers at Markham. Both my son and
myself are in the corps, sod we went with it on
duty. We returned at between 5 and the next morning.
Mr. Burroughs was not there at that time. My wife and
daughter cause to the gate to meet us, but I understood
my daughter had been to bed. I remember the picnic at
Happieburgh, or Hasbro', which is near Waloot. Mies
Hayes, Jane, and Harriet Gibbons were with us ; and Mr.
Burroughs came afterwards. We went to Mr. Gibbon's house.
We dined on the cliff, and then we went to Hasbro'-
bill-house. My son, myself, Jane Gibbons, and Mice Hayes
went to the lighthouse ; but Mr. Burroughs. my daughter,
and Harriet Gibbons were left behind. We all had tea at
Mrs. Gibbon's. My daughter was not left alone with Mr.
Burroughs and Jane gibbous that day—most decidedly not.
