FROM FRANCE.

NAPoLEoN's SPEECH.-The Paris Moni-
teur of the 18th ult., contains an order Of
General Magnan for the military reception OF
the President, who arrived at Paris on the
10th. One hundred guns were to be fired
{ ON the barriere Du Trone, and the same
number from the Invalides. he Prince will
proceed by the Boulevards to the Tuileries.
More than fifteen triumphal arches were Or
dered to be erected on the BOulevards.
At a dinner, at Bordeaux, the President
made the following speech, which is signifi-
cant Of the approaching Empire, and, if we
give the speaker credit for sincerity, shows
him to be contemplating judicious policy in
the matters to which he refers
THE object of my journey, as you are
aware, was to become personally acquainted
with our beautiful provinces of the south, and
to study their necessities. 1t has, however,
given occasion for much more important re-
suit. In fact, and say it with frankness
as far removed from vanity as false modesty,
never did people testify in a direct, more
spontaneous, more unanimous manner, their
determination to relieve themselves from anx-
iety for their future condition by consolidating
in one hand power with which they sympa-
thiZe. Applause. This is because the DeO-
ple now know both the deceitful homes with
which it was deluded, and the danger with
which it was threatened. 1t knows that in
1852, society must have rushed to destruction,
because every party consoled itself before
hand in the prospect Of the general wreck, by
the hope of planting its own flag upon the
ruins which might remain. Sensation, and
cries of "Vive lEmpereur.
"Disabused Of absurd theories, the people
have now acquired the conviction that its pre-
tended refOrmers were but dreamers; for there
was ever a disprOpOrtiOn, a want Of logical
IL
and the promised result. Loud applause, and
surrounds me with its sympathy because dc
not belong to the family of ''ideOL0gueS." TC
achieve the well being Of the country there il
no necessity for the application of new sys.
TENS, but it is before all things necessary tC
give confidence for the present and security
for the future. This is the reason why France
appears to wish to return to the empire, Yes
YES, Bravo 'ViVe PEmpereur. There il
nevertheless, one apprehension to which must
allude. In the spirit Of mistrust, certain peO-
pie exclaim, The empire is war; But | say
THE empire is peace 1t is peace for France
desires it, and when France is cOntented the
world is tranquil. These words, pronounced
in firm and emphatic tone, produced an i'm
mense sensation.
81 desire to conquer, by religion, by moral
ity, by prosperity, that yet numerous part OF
the population which, in the midst of conn
try Of faith and belief scarcely knows the pre-
cepts Of Christ; which, in the midst of the
most fertile country in the world, can scarce
ly enjoy as much Of the produce Of the earth
as the first necessity requires. Sensation. J
We have immense ancultiyated Territories to
clear, roads to make, ports to deeped, rivers to
render navigable, canals TO finish, our net
work of railways to complete. We have op-
ports to bring nearer to the American conti-
nent by the rapidity Of communication which
we still want; in word, we have everywhere
runs TO reraise, false gods TO cast down, truths
10 make triumphant. Prolonged applause.
