FRANCE.

The .11foniteur of Saturday publishes the texts of
the following addresses delivered to the King on occa-
sion of the New Year, and of his Majesty's replies :
ADDRESS OF M. SAUZET, PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER

the good wishes of yourself and the clergy of Paris. It
is always delightful to me to see you assembled around
me. You know that I have long desired, and I now seize
with eagerness this, as all other occasions of testifyibg
how much I desire to maintain the clergy in that high
consideration, the preservation of which I estimate at the
greatest pr:ce. The more the task of Government is diff.
cult to me, the more I need the moral support and con
currence of those who wish to maintain order and the
reign of the laws. It is, above all things, this moral sup-
port and concurrence that will prevent a renewal of those
odious attempts upon which you have just expressed your-
self in a manner which has deeply affected me. It is thin
moral support, with the concurrence of all good men,
which will give to my Government the strength necessary
for the fulfiln.ent of the duties I am called upon to re:ferm,
and I place in the first rank of those duties that of causing
religion to be cherished by combating immorality, and
thus showing to the world that whatever the detractors of
France may say, respect for religion, morality, and virtue
is still among us the feeling of an immense majority."

We are assured that a great number of Deputies com-
plain of not having yet received any document on the pro-
ct of law relative to the fortification of Paris. Persons
who are well-informed state, however, that the War de-
partment might have distributed several days ago litho-
graphic plans of all the details of the systems of defence,
which will be shortly discussed in the Chamber.

The Report of M. Thiers will be made in the beginoing
of next week.

We copied from the Presse the statement that M. Bil-
ling was appointed the King's Commissioner to act Ps"
arbitrator in case of disagreement between the English and
Neapolitan Commissioners on the sulphur question.
The Journel des Debuts contradicts that statement, and
says—We have reason to believe that the choice of tl.c
Government has fallen on M. Lurd, Chief Secretary of
Legation at Constantinople —Le Constitutionnel.
We did not receive till to-day the Echo de l' Orient,
published at Smrna on the 12th of December, which
brings news from Constantinople of the Bth. This journal
says that Mehemet Ali has forfeited all claims to the
clemency of his Sovereign, and that, if out of commisera-
tion for his grey hairs he should be spared the disgrace of
c' mplete ruin, it would be pure generosity, and it would
be much if the Paehalic of Egypt were left him for 13:s
life, to be disposed of after his death; and without allow_
ing him to keep up any force by sea or land, unless on a
very limited scale. The Echo de! 'Orient, in expressing
itself in these terms, merely declares the secret ideas of
the Porte, and still more of Lord Ponsonby, who for many
years has laboured with remarkable tenacity to depress
MeLemet Ali.—Le Commerce.
