THE CORPS LEGISLATIF.
PARIS, MAY 11.

In his speech in the Corps Legislatif yesterday
M. Rouher, Minister, President of the Council of
State, spoke as follows respecting the maintenance

of peace :

"Peace at present rests upon serious guarantees,
I have pleasure in repeating with M. Berryer that
peace is in the hands of France. Bat France will
only open her hand when compelled to defend her
honour or the inviolability of her frontiers. As re-
gards the sad conflict in the north of Europe we
may now hope that a pacific solution will be
effected. I cannot believe that the Great Powers
have met in London to obtain no result. I prefer
to believe that M. Berryer has allowed himself to
be carried away by the anticipations of a gloomy

pessimism.
