PARIS, WMIifIEDAT ETINING.
At the bouquet of the Hotel de Ville, the President
groomer:od' in answer to the Prefect of the Sribe,
who proposed his health, the following speech :

- -
11seekurs,—To celebrate the anniversary of my election
at the flout de Ville, in this palace of the people of Peri% is
to remind me of the origin of my power, and of the duties
which that origin imposes on me. To tell me that France
has sera during two•yeus her prosperity increase, is to ad-
dress to me the eulogy which touch a me most. To-
day I am happy to theognke that calm ht' re-
turned to men's minds, that the dangers which existed two
yews ago have disappeared, and that, notwithstanding the
eatert•inty of affairs, people count upon the future, because
they know that If modifications are to take place they will
be essempltshed without troubles. (Sensation.) To what
do we owe the substitution of order for disorder, of
hops for diacesragement ? It a not because, son and nephew
of soldiers, I have 'myself replaced another soldier, but be-
mule ea the 10th of December, for the first time sines
February, the executive power has risen from the exercise of
a legitimate right, and not from a revolutionary fact. (Load
ekeins.) I like to take &dreamed' of these anniversaries, which,
are, ea It were, stations for measuring the mirth of events, in
seder to determine the causes which loftily or weaken go-
vernments. The great truths 'auctioned by the history of
peoples are always useful to proclaim. The government'
which, after long civil troubles, have succeeded in rs. establish-
ing power and liberty, sad preventing fresh catastrophe', have,
while 'abating the revolutionary spirit, drawn their strength
from the right born from the revolution itaeU. (Sensation.)
Those geveruniente, on the coatrary, have been impotent
whisk have 'ought this right is the ocautter. revolution.
(Lend sheers.) If loans good has been done during
two years it Is due, above all, to that principle
of popular election, which has made to rile out of the con-
dim of ambitions a real and inconteetible right. Let us

say it openly. It is great principles, noble dem, meth
as loyalty and disintereetedneee, which save ise and not
speeektiose of force and heard. Thanks to the applimnion of
title pinky, we taste some rapes.; and we shall be able, this
year better thin the last, to realise some peogrev. The
inualcipal council of Paris is right in emanting on the
government for all that can render prosperom the situation
of Paris, for Paris is the heart of Praxes. and all rho mogul
ameliterations which are adopted here contribute powerfully
to the general %Ware. Accept, then, messieurs, with my
thanks, a toast to the city of Paris. Let us unite all oar
efforts to embellish this great city, to ameliorate the lot of its
inhabitants, end enlighten them with regard to their real
interests; let us open new streets; let as make salubrious
populous quarters which:want air and light ; let the hensa-
sent tithe the ens everywhere within oar walls
as the• tof troth oar hearts. (Cheers, and wise of
" Vivo President-")
