THE SPEECH OF THE
EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

The Paris correspondent of the Times says the
Papal Nuncio delivered to the Foreign-office, as
is customary, a draft of what he intended to say
on New: Year's Day. He submitted not only a.
first, but a second draft, and ultimately his speech
was comprised in less than four lines of the
Monitear. It is said that he wished to give a
few hints about_ the condition of the Roman
States -generally, and the Romagna in particular,
"thweldest son of the Church," &c. His .address
is -one of- the most laconic in the congratulatory
lirtyle on record. There is some diseussiorat Paris
`Whether the refercace in the Enaperoi!s reply to
;recognised rights, referred to the lights of the
-Princes reserved at Villafranca•; blit -it is argued
that the elect .of universal suffrage, who owes his
Sovereignty 'to the national will, 'must have in-
tended to aatait that if the Pope and the Grand
Dukes have .recognised rights,'ihe people of the
Roman Stdtes and Central Italy have recognised
rights also, which he intends-to remain.
In the 'Paris correspoidenta of the Tister.,i-it is
stated 'that the sincere and consistent advocates
'of the 'Znglish alliance ;'t-;re delighted at the
Chaff which has taken place in the la6gmage
even :tf the suborAinate -.officials in speaking of
Enginnd and things Milglish. - This is 'faithfully
inititted from -what they, observe in 'higher
regions.

The Paris correspondent Of the Dciily Netis
tregards the Elisperoi4s speech as coonfirtrirn: g the
principles of the 'panvhlet. At the end of his
Islicrt address ke.promises to do sal inAils power
