FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVNNING.

We have received the Mouiteur of yesterday.

It gives au account of the meeting Of the Senate
under its President Troplong.
At half-past 3 o'lock M. Fould rose and said—

" Gentlemen Senators,—The Emperor has ordered me
to bring you the following message :-
4" Messieurs lee Senateurs—The Senatus-Consultam
of the 17th of July, 1856, leaves a doubt which I now
think it advisable to pat an end to. In fact it only
confers the Regency on the Empress, or, she failing, on
French Princes, provided the Emperor has not by some
public or secret act willed it otherwise.
" I believe lam responding to the public wish at the
same time that I follow my own feelings of the highest
c-mfidence in the Empress by designating her as
Regent. Actuated by the same feeling, I designate, she
failing, as her successors in the Regency the French
Princes in order of hereditary succession to the Crown.
"'I have also wished to provide for any doubts which
might arise as regards the Council of Regency from the
alternatives left open by the 18th article of the Senatus-
Consulrnin of the 17th of July. Consequently, I have
established a Privy Council, which with the addition of
two French Princes nearest in the line of hereditary
succession, will become the Council of Regency from the
sole fact of the accession of the Emperor a minor, if at
that moment I should not have established another by
public, act. This Privy Council, formed of men who
.36„y my confidence, wid be consulted on the great
affairs of the State, and will prepare itself by the study
of the duties and necessities of a Government for the
important task which the future may have in reserve for

it.
4 6 Whereupon, I pray God to have you in hie holy

keeping•

" 'NAPOLEON.
„ palace of the Tuileries, Feb. 1, 1858.'"
The Message was accompanioci by letters patent,
couched as follows
Napoleon, by the grace of God and the national
will, Emperor of the Frenob, to all present, greeting.
