PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

M. Emile 011ivier made a speech at the banquet
given him at Turin, which will assuredly be con-
sidered a political demonstration of considerable
Importance. Many will see in it a confirmation of
the rumour that this eloquent democratic leader
has rallied to the empire, and will construe hii
liberal professions as mere oratorical artifices
destined to veil his apostacy. His friends, how-
ever, may say, and with much plausibility, that
M. 011ivier offers no support to the empire except
upon condition of a radical transformation which
he expects at no distant time. Here is the text
of the important part of his speech :
_ . .

God forbid that I should speak ill of the old time and of
our predecessors in the great struggle of liberty against op.
passion. But revolutionary moans have had their day,
and it is no longer possible to make order with disorder. It
is no longer by means of conspiracies that existing govern-
ments can be overturned and new ones founded. To accept
the institutions of one's country, even although they may
not be such as we should have chomp, ►nd to use all legal
mesas to improve, amend, and transform them—that is now
the duty of the true patriot, that is the policy of the
present time, and that is also what ham been called " the
great tramp of Emile Deliver." (Loud applause.) lam
well aware that this theory is not as yet applicable
to those parte of Italy which are still severed from
their sister provinces. I know very well that if
a crisis were to arise in Italy each as there was
formerly in Pianos, it might still be necessary
to have recourse to those extreme means which oar
fathers used. But God has enabled Italy to achieve its
great revolution without being troubled by those exoesem
which France did not succeed in avoiding. Italy has m-
oseyed from Providence a loyal kiss who understands hie
duty as an honest man, who ten times over has exposed his
life on the field of battle for the independence of his
country, and who has faith in bin people and an inviolable
respect for his oath. (Applause.) Al to the question of Rome,
it most ..ot be supposed that the enlightmed part of the French
nation, or even the imperial government, dispute the right
of Italy. Bat allowance must be m►de for those necessities,
those physical necessities, so to meek, which a govern-
ment, even though apparently the strongest poe.
'Able, is sometimes forced to succumb to. By the
very fact of the coop d'etae of December 2, the
present government of France was forced to lean upon the
conservative party. That party occupies judicial functions
and public employments. That party is for the Pope, and
will have the Pope at Rome. The French government is
not yet able to conteed with these exigencies ; and it never
will be able until it shall resolve clearly and decidedly to
rely upon another support, the only one solid and durable
—the only one which will overcome all obstacles—l mean
liberty. It should be our teak to aid the government to
enter upon this path, out of which there is no safety either
for the government itself or for the country. . . . And
let not Italy fear that she is forgotten in France,
because little wan said this year of the Roman
question in the Corp, Legislatif. On the contrar►, the
question has pined ground. Your adversaries are
beginning to be afraid, and that is why they are silent•
But time and perseverance are necessary.

The facetiousness of the Moniteur in recording
the fact that Saturday's meeting of the Conference
was the " thirteenth," is thus noticed by the
Nation :

If this sitting is to be devoted to the official promulga-
tion of a septum, superstitiors winds may attribute Vas
calamity rather to the maleficent influence of the number
"thirteen" thea to say of the German cabineW
against Denmark. In this point of view the declaration of
the Moniteur hes a certain importance.

It is stated that the insurance companies will
not contest the validity of the policies effected by
La Pommersie on the life of the unfortunate Mme.
de Panw. Her two daughters, therefore, Annette
and Felicitf, girls of 13 or 14 years of age, after
having been brought up in genteel poverty of the
meet distressing kind, will now corae into a fortune
of 22,0001. sterling.
The rndependanee says that notwithstanding the
reports of Garibaldi's bad state of health, which
the Moniker took care to make the worst of, the
French government is so afraid of some sudden
action on his part that it has given orders to
keep a strict watch over, if not to arrest, several
Italians in Paris.

One of the latest among the many Paris im-
provements is the opening of a new avenue extend-
ing all the way from the Bastille to the Hippodrome
race course. This will now be the shortest way to
the steeplechases.
