SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR

PARIS, MONDAY.

In opening the extraordinary session of the
Chambers, this day, the Emperor delivered an
address to the following effect :

" The Conferences at Vienna have unhappily

make a new no:: resulted in peace. I come then to

appeal to your patriotism. The Conferences have
justified the conduct of the Allies, and evinced
their moderation. Propositions, which I will call
magnanimous on account of their disinterestedness,
have been made by us and rejected. We are still
expecting of Austria the execution of her

engagements, which were to render the alliance
offensive and defensive should negotiations not
lead to a peace. The admirable devotion of the
army and navy will soon, I hope, bring about
that result.

" You will continue to give me means of carry-
ing on the war. I had intended to place myself
in the midst of the army, where the presence of
the Sovereign would not have failed to produce a
happy influence, and where I should have been
witness of the heroic efforts of our soldiers. I
should have been proud to be able to direct them;
but grave questions abroad and important mea-
sures at home force me with regret to abandon
the project. No extraordinary levy will be re-
quisite. Let us have confidence in. God, and
persevere, so shall we arrive at a peace worthy of
the alliance of the two great nations."
