THE ANSWER OF THE EMPEROR TO TIE ADDRESS
OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY.
IL was expected that the Emperor would avail
himself of the opportunity OF the presenting of
the address of the legislative body TO pacify the
country, which is kept in a state of constant sus-
pense by one thing and another; and that he would
assure that ne had come to an amicable under
standing with the Government of the United States
TO evacuate Mexico very shortly; and finally, that
he was ready accord every kind Of liberty to the
people of France However. hope told Gdtterihg
tale and we have again been doomed to disappont-
mont for the Empelo Or in his TO the address,
tells that he is perfectly satisfied with his minis.
try, which he thinks is pursuing the right course,
and he has no desire that 1t should depart from it,
The best thing be done is to let t0eU alone He IS
of opinion that France, at the present moment,
joys as much liberty as she can bear, etc. etc. So
you see master fancies eUeryhtng is for the best
IN the best # tDorlds.
The Emperor's answers has given very general dis
satisfaction, Tor there is that universal thirst
frr liberty which has often been the precursor of
revolutions.
Those members who assisted at the presenting of
the address do not to be very charmed with
the disposition of the Emperor and the last bon
now circulating ia that man proposes God disposes,
and the Emperor indisposes.
THE SAINT HELENA BANQUET,
which every year brings together the veterans of the
first Empire now living, was as usual held on the
10th of March. On that day few shaky old gentle.
men, after having paraded the streets of Paris and
placed a c own of inmorteHS or everlasting folvers
on the railing of the column of the Place Vendome
meet in splendid banquet hall, and partake of a
magnificent dinner offered to them by the Emperor
Mons. Be'mondel presided, and several loyal toasts
were drank by the vivants of the visible gardens
Several relics of the first Emperor, such as piece
of his coffin, an old hat, and branch of the weep
ing willow which overhung his grave, were handed
round and gazed upon with religious veneration by
the assembled pensioners few years more and the
last Of these idoat will have disappeared, for
their numbers rapidly decreasing.
RESIGNATION MONS. DE BUssUN.
The honorable member for the department of the
Lower Rhine had last autumn promised his const-
tuents to urge the Government to adopt q more
liberal policy; but finding that such a step had
become unnecessary, in consequence of the promises
of the Emperor TO crown the edifce as it
became expedient he refused to give the tiers pnrG
which voted the amendment; the consequence is
that he feels himself in honor bound TO throw up
his seat and again present himself before his con.
sttUents
For some time past things have not gone very
swimmngly with French Protestants, who are
divided in two camps-the one orthodox, and the
other liberal or broad.
MONS. MARTIN PARCuoUD
Baving lately incurred the displeasure of the Con-
sistory of Paris, for having expressed liberal OPT
mons on the pulpit, was suspended for time by
that body. Mons. Paschoud, backed by several
members of the church, has obstinately refused to
bow to the judgment of the Consistory and the
sequence has been great dissension among the mem.
bers of the reformed denomination. The matter
has been referred to the State which will be called
upon to decide in a matter OF some importance to
the friends of Professionalism.
MONS. MIREs, THE GREAT STOCK JoBBER,
or the modern Lar he is called is again PLAYING
part in the financial wor d. 1t is well known to
all those in any way acquainted with what takes
place in Paris, that Mires the Jewish banker and
speculator was, some years back, the money man
of the Gay, and it at one lime thought that he
would soon rival Rothschild in wealth. He was the
owner of several streets in the part of Paris and
the passage between the Boulevard des Italiens and
the Rue Richeeu, now ca led Passage des Princes,
formerly Passage 1HireS, was his property. How
ever it appears that all not quite right with the
famous jobber, for one day he went down with
run, and soon disappeared from the financial world.
He has, however, again appeared on the scene OF
action, and many prophesy that he will one day be
again the top of the tree as the Mires schemes,
which had almost fallen to nothing, are rising
rapidly every day. The shareholders remember the
last WORDS oil hlres AZ general meeting held three
years ago, "Let me work in peace, and will pay
you ALL"
FOREIGN MATTERS
Foreign questions are of very meagre interest at
present. 1t is feared that the carrying out of the
Convention OF September To- with the Pope, will be
attended with some dIficuIty but sufficient tor the
day IS the evil thereof The Austrians and Prus.
sans are again at loggerheads, and it is feared that
the great Teutonic powers will be obliged to settle
their differences by appeals TO sThe Conference
sitting in Paris is said not to be able come to
terms with respect to the settling OF the DanubIan
question: all this dit the least said about
il the better will now leave such grave matters as
policies and finance TO entertain you with matters
hore familiar. The spirits Of our Emperor have not
been the best of late; he has had many things 10
worry him ever since his return from Compeigne;
he may well have exclaimed with Schiller on his
turn from the country:-
"Die ,scbonen tages Won AranjueE sind vorHber,'
(the pleasant days of Aranjnsz are now gone by,
Ever he has again had TO attend to the affairs
of State one vexation seems to have succeeded
another-his opposition to the wishes of the people
has made him rather unpopular of late, and he is no
lOLgel greeted with the cries of ViUe PEmperor, as
JoTmerly. few evenings ago he and the Empress
went to the Odeon Theatre TO witness the first
torrance Of new play, entitled In ContGgion, on
his arrival the students standing about the
place dc POdeons cried out do not destroy the Lux
umburg, etc which very much dispeased his Majesty
who the day seriously reproached the Minister
of State for not having given streter orders to the
police to prevent any offensive demonstration
