The following is portion Of the Emperor
Napoleon's speech to the Corps Legislatiff.
January 22d:
will give you my views, as in former
years. will examine with you the principal
questions which interest our country abroad.
Peace seems assured. Everywhere the means
are sought for of amicably settling Difficult
ties, in place of ending them with the sword.
The meeting Of English and French fleets in
the same ports has shown that the relations
formed upon the battle field have not been
weakened. Time has ouly cemented more
closely the, agreement of the two countriej
In regard to my intentions to continue to
observe policy OF neutrality which, without
preventing US at times from being displeased
or dissatisfied, leaves us, nevertheless. stran,
gers to questions In which our interests are
not directly engaged.
Italy, recognized by almost all the powers
of Europe, has strengthened its unity bv in
augurating its capital in the centre Of the Pc.
ninsula. We may count upon the scrupulous
observance of the treaty Of the 18th OF Sen
tember, and upon the indispensable maintaih.
tainance of the power of tie Holy Father.
As expressed the hope last year that our
expedition to Mexico was approaching its
termination, am now coming to an under.
standing with the Emperor Maximilian, to fix
the epoch for the recall of our troops while
their return can be effected without compro-
missing the French interests which we have
been defending IN that remote country.
North America, issuing victoriously from a
formidable struggle, has reestablished the
Union and solemnly proclaimed the abolition
OF slavery. France, which forms a noble
page OF her history, offers mp sincere wishes
tor the prosperity Of the great American Re,
public 9nd NR the maintenance Of the amioa,
BID relations which soon will have had eep.
tu7's duration. The enotioa produced iu
tho United States BY the presence of osI
troops on Mexican soil, Will Be- paciied b.
the fankneas of our declarations. Ths
Anesicaa people win comprehend that oul
sxpsaition, 70 which we invited them, val
not opposed 10 their interests. Two nations
eqaall1 jealous Of their independsnce, shotld
avoid evssy step which might a1sct tel
dignity aad their honor.
