FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

A project of address was read to-day in the
Corps Legislatif.. The following is a summary of
its contents :

The address expresses the thanks of the deputies
on account of the Imperial decree of Nov., applauds
the policy of the Government in the interior, and
expresses hopes for the maintenance of peace.
The address then continues :

"We hope that the humane mission which
France has fulfilled in Syria will be maintained.
We approve the policy which your Majesty has
followed in Italy. The late diplomatic documents
and the recent despatch of troops to Rome have
given proofs of your constant efforts to ensure the
security of the Papacy, and have preserved its
temporal power as much as the force of circum-
stances and the resistance of the Papal Government
to wise counsels have allowed. In thus acting,
your Majesty has completely responded to the re-
ligious sentiments and the political traditions of
France. As regards the future, the Corps Legis-
latif entirely relies on your Majesty's wisdom,
being convinced that you will always be guided by
the same principles and the same feelings, without
allowing yourself to be discouraged by the injus-
tice you have experienced, and which has distressed
us."
The Moniteur of to-day says

" The Bishop of Poitiers has published a mande-
ment in the Monde, containing allusions offensive
to the Government of the Emperor, and likely to
arbitrarily disturb the conscience of the citizens.

"The m- andement has been submitted to the high
jurisdiction of the Council of State, which is charged
to decide in all cases of abuse."

The Moniteur also publishes a circular addressed
by Count Persigny to the Prefect of Vienna, relating
to the above mandement of the Bishop of Poitiers.
The Minister says :
" I considered that it would be contrary to the

interests of the Government to screen such excesses
from the judgment of public opinion, and I would
not therefore take any measures to prevent the
publication of documents in which are disclosed,
with such audacity, the secret views of that party
which, under the veil of religion, has no other aim
than that of attacking the elect of the French
people."
BOURSE, Feb. 27.—The arrangements for the
settlement have occupied the attention of specula-
tors, to the exclusion of fresh operations. The
market, however, continues without any material
alteration. Threes, which opened at 68f sc, are
now at 68f 40c. Railway shares have been also
well maintained.
