EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH BY THE
FOREIGN MINISIER 01 FRANCE.

PARIS, Dec. 5.

Towards the close of the sitting in tho French
Legislative Chamber yesterday, M. de Moustier,
after narrating the events which ensued after the
arrest of Garibaldi, said :

"The Italian Minister then made a verbal com-
munication to me of the gravest importance. Ile
brought forward the idea of a European Conference
for the solution of the Roman question, and pro-
posed meantime a joint occupation of Rome by
French and Italian troops. We took note of the
first proposal, and rejected the second. If I may
be allowed coarsely to express my thoughts, I shall
say we were invited not only to take the part of a
dupe, but also that of a traitor. We, therefore,
indignantly declined the complicity proposed to us
with a sort of bonhommie which made it doubly in-
sulting. From that moment the expedition to
Rome was decided upon."

PARIS, Dec. 5 (Evening).

In the Legislative Body to-day the bureaux re-
jected the interpellations respecting the octroi taxes
at Paris and the election of the municipal authori-
ties at Lyons. The debate upon the Roman ques-
tion was then resumed. M. Jerome David approved
the second expedition to Rowe, which was justified
by Italy's aggresive attitude against the Papacy
and her ingratitude towards France. Italy had
selected the moment to break the convention of
the 15th September when she fancied France was
on bad terms with Prussia, and not prepared for
war. France ought to remain at Rome until there
was a complete change in the attitude and acts of
the Italian Government. This did not imply that
France should be responsible for the Pontifical
Government, nor for its theological declarations,
which were of interest only to the spiritual order.
M. Jerome David also spoke in favour of submit.
ting to the Government a motion demanding that
the French troops should be maintained at Rome.
M. Rouher explained and justified the French in-
tervention at Rome from a moral, religious, and
social point of view. He showed what religion
Garibaldi wished to substitute for that of the Ca-
tholic Church. The ccnduct of Italy, he said, had
been sincere up to the 28th August. Then she be-
came obliging, subordinate, and an accomplice.
France went to Rome to stop a revolution which
had three stages—one at Rome, one at Florence,
one at Paris. M. Rouher declared that French
troops would remain at Rome as long as the safety
of the Pope rendered their presence necessary. He
added--" Safety does not mean alone material tran-
quillity. We must have good guarantees from
Italy. Italy shall never possess herself of Rome.
(Loud applause.) At the same time the French
Government is desirous to strengthen Italian unity;
those two things must co-exist." M. Rouher re-
fused to entertain the interpellation of the Left.
The interpellation. of M. Chesnelong deserved the
explanations which had been given. In conclusion,
he said—" Does a community of ideas exist between
us and the Chamber? (Expressions of assent.)
Then let the Chamber give to the Government a
vote of confidence, and, above all thiin2s, let there
not be a split in the majority." (Applause.)
The sitting was then adjourned.
On the re-assembling of the Legislative Body M.
Rouher again ascended the tribune, and explained
that when he said the French troops would remain
at Rome as long as the safety of the Papacy re-
quired their presence, he meant by the word Rome
the integrity of the present Pontifical territory.
(Applause.) M. Jules Favre admitted that the
Government this time had made a clear declaration,
but to endeavour to maintain at the same time the
temporal power of the Papacy and to strengthen
Italian unity was still chimerical ; the occupation
would be for an indefinite period. M. Chesnelong
announced that, considering the declarations made
by the Government, the movers of the second de-
mand of interpellations withdrew their motion. M.
Bcrryer regretted that determination, and desired
the Chamber to register M. RouherVdeclaration by
referring the interpellation to the Government. M.
itouher observed that the means to prove an agree-
ment between the Chamber and the Government
would be to vote the order of the day upon the in-
terpellation of M. Jules Favre. The discussion was
then declared to be closed, and the order of the day,
pier et simple, upon M. Jules Favre's interpellation
was voted by 237 votes against 17. The discussion
of the interpellation in reference to the German
question has been fixed for Monday next.

MARKETS—(This Day.)

MARK LANE.

To-day's market was partially supplied with English
wheat in but middling condition. The attendance of
buyers was limited, and the demand for both rod and white
qualities ruled heavy at barely Monday's currency.
The fresh imports of foreign wheat were large—viz.,
35,010 quarters. The show of samples was only moderate,
and sales progressed slowly at late rates.
Floating oargoes of grain off coast were very inactive.
Fine barley was scarce, and commanded full prices, but
inferior kinds were very dull, on former terms.
In malt, very little was doing. Prices, however, were
unaltered.

There was a good business doing in oats, at extensive
quotations.

Beans, peas, and flour were inactive, on former terms.
