THE ADDRESS OF THE FRENCH CORPS
LEOISLATIF. _ _

PARIS. J. 43. 4.
-The draft of —as address of tha Orwyw•Losis—
latif in reply to the speech from the throne, was
read to the members to-clay.
The address states that the populations are pro-
foundly attached to Imperial institutions, and
applauds the resolution of the Emperor to antici-
pate public opinion in the path of industrial and
commercial liberty. It expresses a wish that the
public works should not be diminished, and that
interior reforms should be developed.
The address then says : "The Corps Legislatif
believes with the Emperor that the most wisely
governed nations cannot always escape foreign com-
plications, and that they should regard them with-
out illusion as without weakness. The:distant expe-
ditions to China, Cochin China, and Mexico have
greatly disturbed the public mind in France, on
account of the obligations and sacritleesthey entail.
V►e acknowledge that these expeditions must
inspire respect for our countrymen and for the
French flag, awl that they may also develop our
maritime commerce ; but we should be happy to
see realised shortly the good results for which your
Majesty has led us to hope."
On the Polish question the address says : "The'
recollections of our history' and the feelings of
humanity which animate us excite the most earnest
sympathies for Poland, and we have seen with
grief the failure of the combined efforts of
three great Powers. Neither can we, however,
disregard that the sincere and cordial support of
Russia has been useful to France on important
occasions. We should regret any coldness iu our
friendly relations with that power, and have there-
fore accepted, with profound satiafactiou, the ides
of an European Congress, which will be a lasting
honour to your reign. France, on whom you have
bestowed splendour and glory, is grateful to you
for not having committed her treasures and the
blond of her children in causes in which her honour
and interests are not at stake.

"Leave without regret, sire, the few unjest
prejudices against accepting your loyal and pacific
propositions. Noble and sound ideas make way in
the world and take root in the heart of the peoples.
Await calmly the effect of your generous words.
" France—homogeneous, compact, strong, and
confident in you—fears no aggression, and now boa
uo other ambition than to assure her repose, and
develop her material welfare by labour and peace,
and her moral welfare by the sincere and gradual
practice of civil and political liberties."

It ii asserted that the debate on the address will
commence in the Corps Legislatif on the 11th inst.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
TURIN, JAN. 4.

The Chamber of Deputies re-assembled today.
Signor Guerrazi sent in his resignation as member
of the Chamber. The debate on the bill for the
suppression of brigandage was then continued.
Signor Dowles opposed the bill from constitutional
motives. Signor 3laasara pointed out the happy
results obtained by the measures adopted against
brigandage, which, he said, had been almost entirely
suppressed. The Livr upon brigandage had concen-
trated all power iu a se% ere but legal system, which
rendered all arbitrary acts impossible. Signor
Crispi spoke against the bill, as he was opposed to
any exceptional law.
