We have received Paris papers, to the oh
Tine felton, Of the legiHative body was pat an
end TO on the 9th, by fpcech from one Of the
government orators, NJ. &c Segur. He cxpref-
fed the Emperor'5 complete appreciation Of
their oondua dwelt upon he iuipoGng cere-
mony OF the coronation, rendered morc augulf
by thc p7efauce and participation Of the p ope :;
alluded to the laws thar had been paltd during
tie lyllion, TO tho excellent fate Of the finan-
ces 80 the new conlcription, and 10 the pa
cihc overtures to this country. Upon the con
fcript law he made the following remarks. =
Whit amQ1gtt our enemy evtry thing IS in
fate OF fermentation aud agitation, YOU have
proved, by a law upon the conlcrip-ion, that we
% lot ifand il ueed Of fgeih efforts, and this
new Law differs only from the lait, by more juft
and moderate deitribut;On relativeto our coats
and maritinlc departments" Upon pacific
overture, he laid, I" twas At the moment III

If blood muA Aow upon the earth and Tea, his
leuer forever abioIvss Us, and throws all the
Responsibility upon tha,b.;nd government, which
would prolong the efufon 81 it," NJ. de Sc
gur proceeded to tate, tha, the emperor's con-
ttant endeavor5 were to give rcpolt to this coun-
try, independence TO the (eas, and peace TO the
world.
The Moniteur has NOT PubIilhed any further
details with relPe6 to the capture Of the Med
itertaAesE convoy, and in does not appear that
one of the captured Alps has yet reached French
port; indeed we now know that the enemy
exaggerated the numbers, and our prediction, that
many would be found to have E3ads their ei-
cape has been verified.
The anger unaffected By the Noniteur at the
cool reception which boulpartcs faiaciouS O.

and the far which ilcxpreltd, LET al EngIilh

even more that" England, llngie handes," is
moFs than a match Tor her; they ihew The chan
geaale and fhiGing politics Of the Ulurper,
that when he could not compafs his end by
open force, he endeaycrs 70 do it by fraud
by an offer Of peace, or rather truce which
th6uld induce US to dilarn1, and leave ourfelves

wildom Of the late minhlry il commencing the
war, before our enemy had completed bis pre-
parations, and Of the prelent, in declining to
