NAVAL AND MILI7ARY IN7ELLIGENCL.

The Admiralty are about to effect another eco-
nomy in Chatham Dockyard. A number of officers
of the yard occupy official residences in " The Ter-
race" in the yard. Hitherto, whenever repairs were
needed in these houses they were executed by the
Government contractors, at the public expense.
But the Admiralty have now sent an order to Chat-
ham that in future all repairs that are required for
these houses are to be effected at the cost of the
occupiers. . _

Her Majesty's Indian troopship Crocodile is tele-
graphed as having arrived at Malta early on the 30,h
November. All well. She was to leave for Alexan-
dria on the 2d December.

Very great sympathy was expressed by many
naval officers with the Senior Sea Lord of the Ad-
miralty on the announcement in the London morn-
ing papers of the death of Sir Sydney Dacres' second
son, Commander Leonard Dacres, of her Majesty's
gunvessel Cherub, at St. Thomas, West Indies,
of yellow fever. Commander Dacres received his
promotion from Lieutenant's rank from Vice-
Admiral Sir George R. Mundy, in July last, on a
death vacancy occurring on the West India sta-
tion.
A number of officers from corps serving in India
are expected to join the depots of the regiments at
Chatham Garrison to relieve other officers now
there who will go out to join the service compa-
nies. The officers who will arrive are :—Lieut. C.
D. Baillie, Ist Battalion 3d Regiment ; Lieut. W.
St. James Young, 38th Regiment ; Capts. T. P.
Cosby and A. F. De B. Bixon, and Lieuts. A. L.
Patton and B. W. C. Finnan, Ist Battalion 14th
Regiment.

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE,.
TUESDAY:

The impression made by the Imperial speech ean hardly be
calledfavourable,nor has it greatly assisted, it is feared, to
solve the political problems which surround us. The Emperor's
interpretation of the wishes of France harmonises very con-
veniently with his own inclinations, and his inauguration of
parliamentary government breathes too much the spirit of
l'Etat, c'est 2noi. The Emperor undertakes to answer for
the maintenance of public order, but he forgets
that we are in 1869, not in 1852, and that if the
intervening seventeen years have moderated the
instability of the middle classes, they have
rather strengthened and systematised the popular aspira-
tions for constitutional government. The speech has some
noticeable omissions which your readers can hardly
fail to observe. We are given no hope of an
amendment of the electoral law. No reference is
made to the promised abolition of the obnoxious
Article 75, which guarantees the immunity of officials from
any legal consequences of arbitrary acts or illegal arrests
of citizens. This article, so fruitful of mischief, would
not bo tolerated for a moment under a really effec-
tive parliamentary Government. Then, as to the long-
promised municipal reform, the language of the Emperor
leaves a good deal to be desired. The mayors are to be
chosen (not elected) from among the members of the
municipal council, "excepting in special cases." Such
are the comments of public opinion here.
The language of the Liberal press is not encouraging. M.
Nefftzer, in the Temps, takes a hasty survey of the speech,
and declares he finds nothing in it but " veiled menaces,"
a programme of very insufficient reforms, and the " incur-
able illusions" of personal power. Besides the omissions
I have spoken of, the editor of the Temps complains that
no allusion is made to the fiscal shackles of the press,
and that there is no reference to the initiative
of the deputies, which seems to be considered
as merely an honorary privilege. " The Govern-
ment speaks as if it alone were the possessor of
all intelligence, and master of all opportunities."
According to the Siecle, the Empire has existed hitherto in
a perpetual oscillation between liberty and despotism,
and the speech proves that the Emperor believes it can still

be prolonged. This is a mistake, and the frankness and
decision which the Emperor justly declares to be demanded
by the situation are alike wanting in his speech.
The proceedings of M. Emile 011ivier and the action of
the 116, are dividing public interest with the opening
of the Chambers. The rapprochement between
part of the old Third party and the Right was not un-
looked for, and it has boen evident for some time past
that, in spite of his protestations, 111. Emile 011ivier was
veering towards Imperialism. If his efforts prove
successful, the Emperor may hope to see the
evil day of constitutional government postponed for
awhile, but at present M. 011ivier's loyal exertions,
although they have effected the temporary disruption of
the party, are more likely to damage himself with the
country than to strengthen his Imperial master.
At the conclusion of the meeting of the deputies
on the 28th, Baron .3-home David and M. Emile 011ivier
walked off arm-in-arm, and the Baron, I understand, went
to tell the Emperor that his majority in the Chamber was
assured. On this point, however, less interested parties
have considerable
eote doubt.tata
