REPLY OF NAPOLEON TO THE DEPUTATION
WITH THE ADDRESS.

PARIS, Feb, 1.
Tice Emperor received the eepuration to-day
from the Corps Legislatif, which brought up the
Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne in
November last.

His Majesty said, in reply, that the debates upon
the confirmation of the members' elections, and on
the Address, had been long and profound, and
though they had taken nearly three months from
the legislative business of the House, they had not
been useless. To an impartial mind, the result had
been to reduce into nothing the accusations which
had been skilfully spread.
The Emperor then continued :

" The policy of the Government is better appre-
ciated. We have a more compact majority, and one
more devoted to our institutions. These are great
advantages. After the fruitless efforts of so many
forms of Government, the first want of the country
is stability. Nothing durable can be founded on an
ever shifting base, without consistence. For sixty
years liberty has be2ome an arm in the hands of
parties to overthrow the existing Government.
Thence have resulted incessant fluctuations—power
succumbing to liberty, and liberty succumbing to
anarchy. This must no longer exist. The example
of recent years proves the possibility of conciliating
what has bog appeared irreconcileable. Really
fecund progress is the fruit of experience.
" Its advance will not be hastened by systematic
and unjust attacks, but by the intimate union of the
Governmentandwithvainpopularity. u
" Let us await, from agreement and from time,
such ameliorations as are possible. Do not let the
delusive hope of a chimerical future unceasingly
compromise the present good which we have at
heart to consolidate together. Let us each remain
in our right sphere—you, gentlemen, enlightening
and controlling the progress of the Government; I
taking the initiative in all that may promote the
greatness and prosperity of France."

family of the late J. P. Somers, so long Whig M.P. for
Sligo, have been left in a very distressed state, and, were it
not for Lord Palniere twi's generosity, would be badly off.
This is not as it should be. Mr. Somers had his faults,
failings, and weaknesses liko others, but he was since 1936,
when he first entered Parliament, a constant supporter of
the Whig O'Connell policy of civil and religious liberty.
O'Connell never had a truer supporter, to whom he was as
much attached as to one of his own family. As thorough
exponents of Whiggery, wo regretted to learn the position
his family were placed in; and if the Whigs will not do
their duty, we must apply to the Conservatives, whom he
so long and successfully opposed. Charity is not of any
party or sect, but universal. We should therefore hope to
see something done for the widow and orphan.---Cork
Reporter. [A committee having been formed, we under-
stand, in Dublin, consisting of Sir John; Gray and other
gentlemen, with the Ulster Bank for treasurer, we should
like to see one formed also here, in London, with a few
members of Parliament of both sides of the house upon if.
