FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, MARCH 27.

They write from Bayonne, that the Communica-
tion with Spain daily becomes more free, and that the
couriers arrive regularly from Madrid.

LEGISLATIVE BODY.

The President announced, that the Deputation
charged by the Legislative B 'dy, to carry an address
to his Majesty the Emperor and King, had.been ad-
mitted on Tuesday to the Palace of the Thuilleries,
with the usual honours.

The Address was)then read, as was the Emperor's

reply.
The Legislative Body then ordered that it should
be printed, and six copies of it distributed to each of
the Members.

At. one o'clock in the afternoon the Counsellors of
State, Counts Regnaud de St. Jean D'Angely, Mini-
ster of State, Bartholucu, and Appelius, were intro-
duceti,—Count Regnaud de St. Jean D'Angely read
a Decree, by which his Majesty had fixed the 25th of
March for closing the Legislative Session.
The PRESIDENT—" Messieurs the Orators, and the,
Council of State—At all times when the voice of the
Sovereign has assembled the Deputies of all the-De-
partments of the Empire in this spot, they have
brought with them the desire of doing justice to the
confidence with which their fellow-citizens have ho-
noured them, by manifesting their devotion to their
Prince and their COuntry, in providing for the wants
of the State, with that *ise discernment which neither
excludes the generosity so natural to the nation, nor
the confidence so well merited by the Government. •
" Your very important labours, Gentlemen, can-
not be better appreciated than from this imposing
unity of the proprietors, who, having always kept
watch in the public functions, in offering to you the
tribute of their own knowledge, come to enlighten
themselves at your source, disperse your lights
through the whole . empire, and thus become the
most useful agents between the Government and the
people. This, Gentlemen, is, in effect the most con-
Stant employment of the Legislative Body—to make
researches into the benefits conferred by Govern-
ment, and to publish their merits. It does not ter-
minate its Ministsy at momentary sessions: united, it
is the exAmple of fidelity ; if alone it is still the model
of it. If its most honourable mission be to bring the
homage of the people to their Sovereign, there is one
equally dear to its hoc. t, that of justifying its grati-
tude, to render it more general and enlightened, to form
'these particular .sentiments into a public one, and to
assure to the G^ nment the recompence most worthy
pfd great Pi ince—that of seeing his generosity equally
acknowledged, and his benefactions equally felt.
" Nevertheless, if the projects of laws willich

- -
should complete our legislation are yet submitted to
your meditations, we are less occupied in these great
interests. The Session which is now just dosed will
leave great and valuable impressions on the minds of
the Legislative Body.
46 We have rendered to private industry, benefits
which languished in.the carelessness for the common
interest. It has occurred to us, that if order and
police allowed.of general community, the rights of
prosperity did not admit of partition, and that what
belongs to all is indifferent to every one. This law,
which gives new riches to the State without dimi-
nishing those of the Communes, has been a useful
resource to our finances, and it is the only one which
they have required of us. Nevertheless, being called
upon under circumstances where honour required us
to wake every sacrifice, we brought with us an equal
share of zeal and generosity ;—but the people of
. Fiance would be before hand with us. One moment
was sufficient to repair cur losses, and it is in this
spot that the unknown means of so much energy and
power have been explained.
6, May tho. e words, so replete with grandeur and
kindness, which his Majesty addressed to us from the
height of his Throne, remain for ever engraved on
our minds ; may history transmit them• to posterity,
the greatest compensation that can be made by the
nation, and by the Legislative Body : they impose
on us great du,i.s, we shall not fail to fulfil them.
64 Our wishes call for that august ceremony which
shall for ever consecrate among us the titulary rights
of hereditary succession. We shall see the crown of
the greaf'est of Monarchs and of the tenderest of fa-
thers, repose befcrehand•on this infant King and on
his virtuous Mother, as a pledge of our security, and
himself taste the haepiness of ensuring at the same
time the gl ry of his reign, of his dynasty, and the
tranquillity of his people."
After the departure of the Orators of the Council
t of State, the Legislative Body declared the Sessions
to be finished.
