..'ihus the alliance with England is not the re-
suit of assing interest and of a policy OF CIR
cumstancc>: it Is the union of two powerful ma
tons. associated together for the triumph OF a
cause in which. for more thana century, intr
greatness. the interest Of civlizatl"n and al Tue
same time, the liberty Of Europe have been en-
gagged.

Let Us, then, declare together that tire hrmy

War, it is true, entails cruel sacrifices, yet eve
rything commands me to push it on with yigor;
aud with that object in view count upon your
assistance.
The land army consists at present of 55l 600
soldiers aud 10000 horses; the navy of 62,OoJ
sailors, on board ship.
1t is indispensable to keep up this effective
force. To fill up the vacancies caused by annual
liberations and war; shall request from you, as
did last year, levy of 10000 men, and bill
be introduced to aineliorate without increasing
the expenses of the treasury the'condition Of the
soldiers who will re engage. 1t will afford immense
advantages by increasing the number of old sol
diers in the army, and by diminishing the OPP
preston of CONSUMPTION. This bill will, | hope,
soon have your appreciation.
Il shall ask your authority to conclude new
national loan. Doubtless such II measure will
increase the national debt, but let it not be for
gotten that, by my conversion Of the Rente, the
interest of that lebt has been educed twenty one

The Emperors speech was frequently inter-
lupted by accamations. and terminated amid re.
peatcd cr;cs Of "Nivc rElnpercur." Immediately
thereafter the newly appointed Senators and Dep
utios took the oaths. The session was declared
formally opened, and the Emperor and Fmpercss
quilted the hall under salute of artillery.
The English papers exhaust all their terms of
eulogy in lraisng the Emperor's speech. Even

POLAND.
1t appears that there are very few Russian
troops in the two provinces Of PruSsian Poland.
The recruits Of the new levy are intended to ere
ate second grand army of reserve, which is to

looks to the contingency of actual hostties with

Madrid. The Nacon, of December list. indeed,
speaks, probable, of body of 10000 yolun
tcers for the allies, to be paid by France and
England, officcrcd by Spanish officers and in ex-
Change for which the Anglo French squadrons
will be at the service of the Spanish government
to repel any attack upon Cuba. Such is the
story.
carious quarrel has broken out at Naples be-
tween the King and the JeSuts. The Neapuli-
tan Minister of Police recently sent for father
Giuseppe, the head of the order of Jesus and in
formed him that he must no longer teach the "rc-
evolutionary" doctrine that the Pope is superior to
all the kings of the earth. Tho mini ser added,
that i'll 1913 the Jesuits had been sent out of the
kingdom "in coaches" but if they continue to
teach such doctrines they would be "hnnted out
with kicks Father Giuseppe and twentyt three
others, much alarmed at the threat, have pub
hsheda statement protesting their entire devo-
ton TO the absolute monarchy of Naples.
