The French Legislative Body was closed
on the 21st inst. with q speech. of which
we have inserted the most material parts
1t was expected that some notice would be
taken OF the war between this country and
France-No alluSion, however, is made to L.
and England is only incidentally mentioned
as having relations with Turkey, and as be-
ing soon about to have the ports OF Spain
closed against her. Different persons will
interpret this silence different ways some
viii consider it as anti pacific, others will
view it as not at all initiating against he i
oea that Bonaparte intends to make some
pacific overture. 1t is to be remarked that
the speech abstains from all abuse of this
Country. The recent marriage forms pro
mnent feature of the speech. Il is Indirect
~ aVowed. that that alliance to which the
epithets of prosperous, holy. august and eter
nal are prehxed, has placed the stamp of le-
SItimacy on Bonaparte's title, whilst it has
confirmed and consolidated the peace of the
Continent There is no doubt that is che of
the greatest acts Of policy Ronaparte ever
did. So mixed and amalgamatet is the 30
naparte family with the sovereigns of Eu
rope, that the most powerful OF them have
an interest in supporting him upon the
throne OF France, and in resisting eyeiy at
tempt to restore the Bourbon5.
