FRANCE.

PARIS, Feb. 16.

The Mowiteur of yesterday publishes the text of
the reply given by the Emperor to the deputation
which presented the address of the Corps Legislatif.
His Majesty said:—" I cotgratulate myself on this
agreement of the Corps Legislatif, which is more
indispensable than ever at a time when the truth
is obscured by hostile passions in all parts of the
globe. France must be calm and strong in the in-
terior, that she may always exercise a legitimate
influence in favour of justiee and progress, whose
triumph is so often compromised by the exaggera-
tion of extreme parties.

On Saturday, at two o'clock, the Emperor,
assisted by his Ministers and the officers of State.
received the deputation of the Corps Legislatif,
who presented the address voted by the Senate.
The Due de Morey headed the deputation and read
the address. The Emperor replied in courteous
terms, and the deputation retired with shouts of
" Vive l'Empereur."
L'Opinzon Nationale asserts that the Polish in-
surrection is gaining strength, and is becoming a
greater nightmare than ever to the Czar Alexander
and King William I. his indignant with the Ga-
zette du Nord for threatening Western Europe with
a Holy Alliance, in the event of the Cabinets of
Paris and London making any opposition to the
intervention of Prussia in Russian Poland. This
declaration, says the Opinione .Nationale, has re-
echoed throughout the French nation, for a menace
is always an injury.
Le Pays thinks it is imperative that a strong
government should be immediately established in
Greece, if it is not to be allowed to sink into
anarchy and disorganisation.
The same journal, in commenting on the liberty
of the English press, expre-ses a wish that the
Parisian journals would take examplA by the
fidelity of its parliamentary reports, which are
given with the completest impartiality. In the
French reports criticisms are mixed up with the
report, and it is the separation of the compte rendu
and the criticism that is especially insisted on by
the Government.

It is rumoured at Bordeaux that the 88th Regi-
ment of the line is shortly to leave for Mexico.

A lamentable accident has just occurred at Lyons,
in the Quartier de la Cite Napoleon, from the fall of
house which was in process of construction. It 1
resulted in the death of one man and the serious in-
jury of several others.
Le Siecle, in an interesting article on the recent
debates, remarks that the silence of the people is
the lesson of Kings and of Assemblies, and that is
must not be thought from this sitewce, that the
public emotion is not great. It considers that the
Chambers, by voting the address unconditionally,
lost the ground gained in the previous discussion.
Have the Chambers shown themselves (qua' to the
occasion ? asks the Siecle. and it answers in the
negative, in spite of the speeches on Pohind,
Mexico, and Italy. One orator alone, M. Jules
Favre, has in its view sustained the old reputation
of French eloquence. With regard to the
debate on Liberty, Le Siecle considers that
the Ultramontane orators, if they could get it,
would keep it to themselves. The recollection ot
their guidance of the State under M. de Faltows is
sufficient to neutralise the enthusiasm excited by
their language. In the words of the amendment ot
M. Favre, the right of election implies the right of
discussion, of judgment, and, in consequence, ot
liberty. What do you want ? Wnat would you
have? Have you not this and that? Such are Ihr.
arguments of the Ministry, by which it renders
homage to that liberty it restricts by its laws for
the press, its presentations of candidates,
and its other measures. It weighs and
barters little by little, and cries continually,
" have you not enough." " No; M. le President,
we have not enough. We may have more, and
yet shall not have enough." Liberty is as neces
sary as the air and sun, and the only acceptable
liberty is free liberty. At present so much is gained.
everyone is praising liberty. Even with the rejection
of M. Favre's amendment she was on the winning
side in the two first sittings of the Corps Legislatif,
and she forced her adversaries to incline before her.
The further consideration of the debate is deferred
to another impression.
BOURSE. Feb. 14.—The tone of the market has
