Opening Of the Session Of 1923.
Pans, Jan. 28.--llis Majesty, the King
Of France, having remained uncovered
for moment, delivered the following
speech:
GrNrLrMrN: The length of the two
last sessions, the short time which they
have left you unoccuplcd, would have
made me wish to be able TO put of, for a
short time, the opening of the present.
But the regular vote of the expenditure OF
the state is an advantage OF which you
have felt all the value and IN order to
preserve IL, have counted upon the same
devotion which was necessary for me To
obtain it.
"The situation of the interior Of the
kingdom is improyed--the administration
of Justice, Loyalty exercised by the Jurles,
wisely and religioualy directed by the ma
gistrate, has put an end TO the plots and at
fempts ut revolt which were encouraged
by the hope OF immunity.
| d" have concluded with the Holy See
those conventions which were necessary
for the formation of the new diocess of
which the law authorizes the establish
ment.
Every where the churches will be pro-
yded with their pastors-and the eler-
gy of France, completely organized, will
bring upon us the blessings OF Providence.
- have provided by ordinances, as eco
nomy in our expenses required, regular
order in the accounts. My Ministers will
submitto the sanction of the law the account
of the expenses OF the year 1921. They
will furnish you with the statement of the
receipt and expenses effected III 1872, and
that of the charges and resources 10 be
expected in 1894.
q Ii results from these documents, that,
all prior expenses being liquidated-even
those which the military preparations have
been necessary We enter upon the year
1928, with forty millions of excess upon
the nc, counts open for this year /; and that
the budget for 1894 will present balance
Of receipts and expenses, without requir-
ing the employment of this reserve.
g France owed to Europe the example
of prosperity which a nation cannot OBJ
tain but by the return to reIiglon-to legi
timacy-to ordcr--to true liberty. That
salutary example she ROW gives.
L have done every thing 10 insure the
security of my subjects, and to preserve
Spain from the extreme misfortune the
iHfatpation with which the propositions,
REM 10 .Uadrid, have been rejected, iea0eS
little hope ofPedce.
u have ordered she recall of ms Minis
Ter and one hundred thousand Frenchmen,
commanded by u Prince of my family,
whom il delights my heart TO call my son,
are about 10 marcel, and invoke the God ofSt
Louis TO preserve the throne of Spain to a
grandson of Henry ~. 10 preserve that
fine kingdom from iuin, aud 10 reconcile
her Ia Europe.
Our stations will be promptly rein
forced wherever maritime commerce re-
quires protection. Cruisers will be sent
out on all parts of the coast which may be
menaced.
" II war be inevitable, | will make every
effort to confne It's circle and limit its du-
ration 1t will only be undertaken TO con
quer a peace, he attainment Of mhich The
present state Of Span renders impoSSibte.-
Let Ferdinand VII be free 10 giUe his sub

pose, dispcl the Just disquietude of France,

claring TO the SPANS Minister, that his

able to their OBJ It, as TO the sentiments Of
friendship and interest which the King has
invariably manifested towards His Catho-
lie Majesty.
In obeying this order, the undersigned
has also To make his assurance, that the
King, his august sovereign, willnever cease
To put uD the most sincere brewers for thp
happiness of a nation which His Majesty,

ExcelIcncy will be pleased to transmit me
the passports necessary for my leaving
Spain and renew the assurance Of my
