DESIRING to afford to the great body of the
state a more direct participation in the general
policy Of our government, and a marked proof
OF our confidence we decree that the senate
and the corps legisIatif shall annually vote an
address in reply to our speech at the opening

commissioners, who will give the necessary
explanations on the interior and exterior poll
cy of the empire. Regulatory measures will
be taken in order to facilitate to the corps leg
islati the expression Of its opinions and the
publicity Of its debates. During the session
the emperor will nominate ministers without
portfolios, in order 10 defend, conformity with
the counsellor Of state, the government pro.
Jecs OF law before the chambers.

will be suppressed and its functions united
with those OF the marshal of the palace. The

pressed The administration of the colonies is
united with the ministry of marine. The de.
cree also orders some changes in the functions

NJ. Granier de CaSsaguac delivered himself in
. the Pays thus:
cine principal and the most remarkable
CHI racter Of the political measures determined
upon aud realized by the emperor is their
spDnaneity. This is not concession dragged
by force, or even counseled by any pressure Of
public opinion it is not even a reform of the
imperial institutions which have hitherto
worked So successfully it is a natural deyel
opment of the liberal and conservative spirit
OF tile empire, voluntarily and uSetully, chat is
is to say, timely arrived. Ii is better browning
well, The great bodies of the state will have
much more strength aud the throne RIO less.
In word, it is the combination OF all the ad.
vantagcs of the representative without the in
conveniences and the dangers OF the parlia-
mentary system."
