PARIS, WIDNISDAT
A speech made by L 0111.5 Napoleon at Matesibla
invites the serious attention of foreign powle.. Or
the occasion of laying the first stone of the new Dowse
he told the president of the Rasher of Orimisere
that he was delighted to give this prod of the in;
tercet that he took in the commerce of Marseilles,
and that his desire was that Marseilles, becoming
more and more prosperous, might contribute to the
realisation of the grand idea of the Emperor' that
the Mediterranean might become a French lake."

Throughout the pmgreas, money continues to be
scattered with a lavish hand. At Grenoble alone the
Prince left 24 000 fr. behind him.

I send, as a'specitnen, one of the most remarkable
of the recent addresses. It is from Vassieux (Drome):
Prince, we are content with the present, wore us of the
future.—We are poor labourers, who sow in the hope that
nor children will reap. Do for France what we do tar ear
children. It is by right of inheritance that they gather the
fruit of our toil. Prince, take the imperial power, inter.
rupted by a tempest, and render it hereditary. You have
opened the furrow ; oar prayers and our arms will fertilise
it. Let your heirs inherit power,
_ and our childrea the
harvest of the geld. " Fire Louis Napoleon, our saviour of
eternal memory:'
It is the Court of Aix which has been charged
with the examination into and trial of the conspiracy.
The investigations are being carried on wt h the
greatest activity. At least 60 arrests have been made
at Marseilles.

At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. fell
10c., closing at 101.33; the Three per Cents. fell
lOc., and closed at 78.15. The railway market was
firmer.

PARIS, TUZSD,LT EVINING.
There is no farther news of any importance about
the plot. It appears that a chemist and a locksmith
are among the persons arrested at Martelllee, but no
names are given. It is vaguely rumoured that nono
of the principal conspirators are in custody, and that
the conspiracy was hatched by a vast secret society
called the l'ingeurs, the same that was so frequently
accused of conspiring against Louis Philippe.
M. Germain Thibaut and M. Monica Japy, the
government candidates, have been elected for the
3rd and 4th circumscriptions of Paris. M. Goud-
chaux, the republican candidate, ran M. Japy
very bard, the numbers being, at the close
of the poll, Japy, 11,379, and Goudchaux,
lo,aw. The abstentions were very numerous. In
February lest,out of 42,663 electors inscribed, 32,085
voted. M. Carrot obtained 14,744 votes and M.
Moreau (de la Seine) 13,511. In the other circum-
scription the abstentions were still more remarkable.
In February, out of 40,381 electors, 30,196 voted.
General Cavaignac obtained 14,471 votes, and M.
I)uperrier 12,9E/8. On the present occasion the total
number of votes polled was only 18,434, of which
10,107 were given to M. Thibaut, 6,591 to M.
Michelet, and 1,733 were lost or bank bul-
letins. As I mentioned on Friday, M. NH-
chelet was put forward against his wish; and,
in the divided state of the republican party, it is
only surprising that so many votes shouid have been
given to him. At Lyons the vacancy muted by the
refusal of Dr. Heflin, the republican, to take the
oath, has been filled up by the election of M. Cabins,
the government candidate. The state of the poll
has not yet reached Paris; but it is said that the
minority voted fur M. Dupont de I'Eure. These
elections have excited the smallest possible interest.
The Moniteur publishes an article in justification
of the conduct of the French government towards
Belgium.
Notwithstanding the tone of injured innocence in
this article, I find the opinion very prevalent, even
among people who think it world have been Wore
prudent in the Belgian g. vernment to have piselmel
the negotiations for an amicable arrangement with
greater activity, that the pretext Tarnished by the
delay fur a war of tariffs was not unwelcome. I hear
it confidently asserted in the same quarters that a
strong debate in the Belgian Chambers, leaving the
difficulties in the way of a friendly treaty greater
than before, would be contemplated with eatisfiection
by the French government. In the meantime the
French consumers of coal cry out much
more loudly against the new tariff than
the Belgian producers. The latter, with praise-
worthy patriotism, have declared themselves
ready to submit to any sacrifice rather than compeo-
mise the political independence and general interests
of their country. But the French manufacturers
have already found out that they themselves will be
the grea'est sufferers by the increase of duty. Coal,
they truly say, they must have at any price, and
the additional 50 per cent. will therefore come out of
their own pockets. An immense, sensation has been
occasioned at Marseilles by the avowed determina-
tion of one of the largest manufacturers there to re-
move his business to Brussels. He has calculated
that the lower price there of coal, iron, burning
bricks, steam engines, and marine salt, will more
than counterbalance all the disadvantages of
the removal. The person thus about to expatriate
himself has employed an immense number of hands
for many years, and has opened a valuable market
for Algenne minerals. The Courrier de Marseire
urgently calls upon the government to reconsider a
policy which leads to such disastrous results. Whe-
ther this and similar complaints will meet with any
attention it is impossible to say. But whatever may
be the hidden intentions of the government it is
pretty certain that until after the President's visit to
Bordeaux no change of policy will be avowed. The
winegrowers in the south are under the impression
that a hostile tariff against Belgium will lead to a
commercial treaty with England and open a market
for their wines. Whether this idea be well founded
or not it is too valuable an electioneering adjunct to
the President's tour to be removed for the present.
The only telegraphic despatches in the Afoniteur
to-day are these :
Marseilles, Sept. 26, one o'clock p.m.—The Prince has
jest heard man at the cathedral. The bishop received him
at the head of his clergy, and delivered an address.
Sept. 27, eleven a.m.—His highness went on board the
Napoleon at nine this morning. The inhabitants escorted
him to the place of his embarking, with a thousand cries of
Visa l'Enspereur !" " Wive Napoli.= III.'" The public
indiination produced by the horrible plot devised against
his highness produced a deep impression in every mind, and
augmented the enthusiasm which the presence of the Prima
excited on his passage.
A government despatch received to-day states that
the President arrived at 'Toulon at about one o'clock
on the 27th. He was received by a salute from the
fortifications and the Heet, which shook both sea and
shore for ten minutes consecutively like an earth-
: quake. The Prince received the municipal anthori-
, ten in the arsenal, and at three o'clock mounted on
horseback to review the troops. His highness was re-
ceived with the same enthusiasm as at Marseilles.
Nothing was heard but cries of " Vive l'Empereur."
Louis Napoleon has decreed royal honours to him-
self from the fleet, and is at this moment enjoying
them at Toulon. He provided for this little foretaste
of the sweets of imperialism by a decree, which has
been io M. Dueoe's pocket ever since September
4, and ha. only just been made public in the II utletin
des lois. The reception of the President of the Republic
by ships of war was regulated by the 711th Article
' of a decree of Aug. 15, 1851. 'This article ire now
abolished, and the honours to be rendered to the head
of 11w state arc to be those mentioned in a decree of
Charles X., dated October 31, 11127. It is further
ordered that the President is to be saluted with the
cry of " VITO Louis Napoleon !"
M. Druuyn de l'Huys will join the President at

Bordeaux, where the Archbishop Cardinal Donna
hasul:ced his palace at the disposition of the
la the Municipal Cauncilef Marseilles, the vote in
Meer of the empire, proposed by the Mayor, nar-
rowly escaped rejestion. Many of the municipal
atunaillors in that great coanntarelal city. although
they were carefully selected by the Prefect of the
&niches de Rhone from among men, the most fa-
vourably disposed to the President that he could find,
are uneasy at the idea of the empire. The address
was got h by a majority of 4 only, 20 council-
lors voting for and 16 against it.
The following is the official account of the recep-
tion at Marseilles :

Memel
esree, Sea pretested to the Prime the keys of the
city, sod delivered the Mowing address:
Primate—Delia to parent se to offer to your imperial
highs.. the keys of the town which I have the honour to
tepensat. Mareeillcs, which duds( two centuries has not
been honoured with the visit of the chief of the state, is im-
pala te seed,, you within its walls. You arrive pre-
sided by the acclamations of all France, width yes have
saved. Marseilles, overwhelmed by your highness with he-
/Refits, will not show itself either less grateful or less ear-
nest : it knows the projects which your highness has con-
saved for increasing its welfare, and hastenisg the deve-
lopment of its magnificent destinies: it offers to you,
through me, the respectful homage of its gratitude for the
present, and its confidence for the future. The prosperity
which we enjoy, thanks to the memorable act of Dec. 2, is
proved by the numerous vessels which at this moment
crowd our port, is which all the commercial nations of the
globe Mai to have takes a rendezvous, in order to salute
on his passage the sleet of the French people, and the paid-
fleeter of Europe. But this prosperity would only 1w
ephemeral, Prince, if your highness were not to consent to
give to your government a character of durability and sta-
bility which can alone secure the happioess of the country.
This wish, manifested by all France, is also that of the
municipal council whose address I have the honour to pre-
sent to you. Prince, oar population sees in your highness
the man of Providence, the man whom heaven protects.
More than ever it feels disp:sed to crowd ascend you with
enthusissas.

The Prince having thanked the Nayer for the senti-
ments which he had ezpressed, proceeded along the Rue
d'Ail and Le Coen. As be passed, every head was un-
covered, and loud cries of "dive l'Empereur!" " Vire le
8 du pars!" were raised. At the Conebii.,re, the
Prince was greeted with enthusiastic acclamations of " Vire
Napoleon !" " Vire l'Entpereur !" The women who sell
bouquets, and the Dames de la Halle, then advanced. The
former offered him a magnificent bouquet, and the latter an
immense tunny ornamented with ribbons. AU the women
the* crowded round the Prince, and in their picturesque
language thanked him for the ureic*s he bad rendered to
the country. The Prince, who seemed much moved.
pressed the hands of several of them. The cortege then
moved on along the Rue St. Ferreol. At all the windows
the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, whilst the crowd
continued its coke. On the Place St. Ferri:col the Prince
found the consuls of fourteen nations assembled ; each
was attended by a number of *allots of his nation, with the
national flag. The consuls stood in a epees reserved for
them, and a number of ladies were present. Detachments
of troops were also assembled here, and the crowd was as
dense as possible. The Prince afterwards proceeded to the
Prefecture, the trades' corporations following. At the
Prefecture be was received by 26 young ladies, dressed in
white, belonging to the principal families of the: city, one of
whom offered the Prince &splendid bouquet. The official
receptions afterwards commenced, and wore still going on
when oar account left. _ _

The proprietor of Tortoni's has received a warning
from the police, not to allow pohtical conversation to
go on in his house.
Some political pamphlets were seized at Granville
on the 16th instant, on the persons of passengers
coming from Jersey.
The Conailationnel gives the following analysis of

the customs returns fot7the month of August :
The customs retinas fur the first eight maths of the
year still show that manufactures and commerce are in a
favourable situation. The progress has not, it is true, been
so considerable in August as during the first months of the
year, but it may be readily conceived that, after tl a enor-
-0100111 imports which took pima during the first half-year,
a little heaviness must Matirally have been perceived.

BELGIUM.
THE BELGIAN PARLIAMENT.—BIIPT. 28.
CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The sitting was fully attended, only five repreeentatives
being absent, all of whom were professed liberals. The
(*Buries of the Senate and the Corps Diplomatique were
filled, as were also the tributes set apart for the public.
Some elections haying boss verified, the oldest member of
the house, acting as President, rote and said—The Cham-
ber will now proceed to elect the president of the session.
M. LISOINNZ-1 understand the ministers are disposed
to make this vote a e tbinet question. I should be glad to
hear a direct statement on this point, as I by no means see
bow a into on the election of a president an hero such a
character.

-
M. Rootra (Minister of the Interior)—l will respond to
the hon. gentleman's request. (Marks of attention.) Ido
not admit that any gentleman is entitled to ask the question ;
L!at that shall not prevent my satisfying a natural wish. In
fact, gentlemen, a number of deputies have demanded of
me it the cabinet was resolved to stake its existence on the
vote to wl,tch we now proceed. To this question I have
uniformly replieJ that if the hon. gentleman who has
directed our delibmatious during the last five years should
not obtain a majority o! votes, the government would con-
sider that, the Chamber, ci;:trustiog him, also distrusted it,
that thus the liberal puti no longer formed a ma
jority in the Chamber. iv,;uld remind you that
in thus acting we do but follow the pre:l4lelki of other par-
liamentary states. fie far, gentlemen, hav: my declarations
gone, but others have sought to draw an unw,:rrantable in-
ference from them in saying that we intended to u:obe this
vote a question of confidence, ha the sense that, 'lama the
Chamber re-elect its former president, the cabinet wouici
think itself entitled to conclude that the Chamber was satis-
fied with all the past sets of the cabinet and had confidence
in it for the tutu, e. This deduction is forced and false. It
would be unreasousible to require such a vote from the

Chamber, nor would N. Veriamen anode% bkia7ou—with
snob a respontihility. We do met desire to shdher waraeltea
behind the eketion of the president. If ha is elected
the future conduct of the Chamber will be tuspisdpd as at
present. IVe shall give the Chamber • fair and open op.
pertitni.y of eireflOillff its mind upon all the great objects
of our policy ; but again I my that the non-electing of
the form, r pe,..ideee will a..neepted by as as • sigu that
the Ch.inibar is unwilling to lei.d its support to the cabinet.
The Chamber then proceeded to 70te, and in a short time
the acting pre‘itltet said—The number of voter, is 101 ; the
alwolate majority, 61. N. Delany° hoe obtained /14, and
If. Verhaegen, 4(i votes. Id 1/elehaye is, therefore, elected.
N. DILKHATII—I am deeply moved by 'hi: expression
of esteem. Under any other air' eumatanesa I would accept
