LOUIS NAPOLEON's SPEECH.

The speech addressed yesterday by the En-
peror Napoleon to the Legislative Body in
France upon the opening of the session of the
present wear states with great decision and
ability the whole case which has given the sig
nal of war, and interrupted those pacific rela-
tons which have long been so precious to Eu-
rope. The Emperor has embraced, and ex-
pressed with great Judgment, not only those cir.
cumstances in our position which address, them.
selves most powerfully to the interests of
France. but those also which a.e and ought to
be the basis of the pulpit policy of Europe
1t is that policy which alone has contributed
more than any otter cause to extinguish the
rivalry so long familiar to the Cabinets of Eng
land end rrnnce, and to remJve the suspicion
which attached themselves to the sudden and
violent restoration of the emperial power.
The same policy has extended itself to Ger
many, and has already reused the leading
German States to a nobler sense of tina, indie
pendence which the fears and obligations. o.
ls4S and l849 had seriously impaired. Since
Russia has suddenly, and wit hout provocation
resumed the aggressive policy of the last cen
tury, which the moderatio.. of Alexander and
the boasted magnanir.iy of Nicholas had sus
pended. 1t is tire that the Imperial Court oil
the North should learn that all Europe is pre-
pared to oppose its progress on that path

PeriIouS Adcenture IN q Ca9e.-On
Tuesday, the Sd inst, while the steamer
FYag was aground near Ste. Genevieve,
Captain Gray the pilot, accompanied by
an Englishman, undertook to explore the
great cave situated three miles above that
place, taking with them lamp, ladder,
&c. They entered the cave about eight
o'clock on Tuesday evening, and had ad-
vanced distance Of nearly two miles
when their lamp was unfortunately broken
and cxtinguished.
After groping about for a length oftime,
they found an upward chimney, so nearly
perpendicular that Gray found it impossi
bic to ascend it. The Englishman, how
ever, chung to it as his last hope Of deIiv-
erance, promising to his companion, if he
reached the top in safety, to mark the spot
by tying handkerchief to a tree and 90
fer assistance. Fortunately, he made his
egress in safety. It was not yet day, 50
he was unable 10 take observations, but
marking the place, as agreed he proceed
ed to the village for assistance, and return
ed early on Wednesday morning with two
or three others. He. vainly attempted to
find the place of his egress. They then
proceeded to the mouth, and under the
guidance Of the Englishman, found the
place where he had left his friend but he
was not to be found. The Cap ain, in his
uncertainty of the escape of his companion,
felt impeIled to renew his efforts to eXtri-
cate himself, and groped on till exhausted
nature compelled him to give up in de-
spair. The party in search returned for
further assistance, and were eagerly Joined
by the officers and the crew Of four steam
ers.
at two o'clock on Wednesday, they
entered, and proceeding to the place where
captain Gray was last seen, they divided,
and proceeding in different directions con.
tinued the search till three o'clock on
Thursday morning, when, to the great Joy
of all he was found He had sat himself
down to die. He had not only worn his
gloves completely out, but his fingers were
torn to the naked bone. in his vain efforts
to extricate himself. The flesh was worn
from his knees, and his boot toes and pant
legs were also demolished. He was found
a distance of three and a half miles from
the mouth of the cave, greatly exhausted.
He is now on board his boat and doing
Well. He was forty-three hours in the
cave.
The great cave has many outlets or
chimneys, as they are called, one of which
is said to be five miles from the mouth.

Yolo County-Lmportant Decision Of
Judge HocelI.-Informatio was filed in
the District Court in March, 1853, by the
District Attorney of that couaty against
James Nj. Hardin, James nj. Estell and
others, who claim TO be the owners Of
26,666 acres of land, known as the Hardy
Grant, on Cache Creek. The information
set forth the same description as contained
in the original grant made to Thomas
Hardy by the Governor of Merico, and
prayed the Court to declare the title Of
land vested in the State of California by
eScheat, there being no heirs and no legal
sale of the land within two years after the
death of Hardy. Defendants Harbin and
Estell demurred to the information, and as
cause of demurrer alledged that the de-
scripton of the land was insufficient and
uncertain, and consequently void, for un-
certainty, and that the land could not be
found or located by the description in the
grant. After argument and due consid-
GRAFTON the Judge decided description to
be ootd, and that although the facts aIledg-
ed in the information was admitted to be
true, there was no land to be found, the
title to which could be ueSted in the State.
Query-Can it be vested in Harbin and
Others by the Board of Land Commission

ion in favor or against defendants? A
question for counsel.

And the mind could be read on the brow,

Whom we're loading with high Lonors now
Let Us speak Of 4 man as we find him,
And heed not what others may say;

Where no bud Of repentance can bloom:
