Fenians, commanded by Col 0'Conner, re-
treated to the hills near Killarney.
British troops have been posted At Nal
low Junction, In county Cork, command
ingthe hilly district. The excitement in
the vicinity is intense. Many are precipl-
lately leaving.
An ex-U. s. Captain has been arrested at
Killarney on suspicion Of being a Fenian.
A large number of marines at Plymouth

LONDON, Feb. ID, ,noon.--Telegraph wires
in the insurrectionary districts of Ireland
have been cut in all directions, and meager
news received from that quarter is sup
pressed by the authorities for prudential
reasons.
A large Fenian party has been surround
ed by National troops in Toomie's wood.
The chances for escape look exceedingly
small. The band of eight hundred which
retreated to the hills near Killarney is still
at large. '''
The uprising is thus far confined to Kerry
and Cork counties, and it is not believed
the trouble will spread further. 81

NapO Icons speech TO the Corps Leg.
PARIS Feb. 14.-The Emperor Napoleon,
| in his speech before the Corps Legislatiif,
| on the assembling of that body. said: Sc
| rious events have happened in Europe al
most fulfilling the great NapoleOn's idea to
unite all great homogeneous nations hitherto
separated, and which is the only possible
balance of power in Europe. German and
Italian events have paved the way to it,
Their success cannot disturb France. /
stood aloOf and helped the peace which
Prussia and Italy made, without dismem-
bering Austria. France was just and neu-
| tral.
In another part of the globe we have
been obliged to employ force to redress
| Legitimate grievances, and we have endeav-
ored to raise an ancient empire. The happy
results at first obtained were compromised
| by an inauspicious concurrence of circum-
stances. The guiding idea of the Mexican
| expedition was an elevated one-to regene-
rate a people and implant among them
ideas of order and progress-to open vast
| outlets to our commerce and leave the re-
| cOgnitiOn of services rendered to civiliza-
tion to work out its path. Such was
my desire and yours, but as soon as the ex-
tent OF our sacrifices appeared to Inc to ex-
| ceed the interests which had called us
across the ocean, l spontaneously deter
mined upon the recall of our army corps,
that the Government of the United States
might comprehend that want of concilia-
| tion had embittered relations which, TOR
the welfare of both countries, should re-
main friendly.
The Emperor then proceeds to say that
the great powers ought to act in concert 10
satisfy the Christians, protect the rights OF
the Porte, and to prevent complication.
| The Rome treaty of September has been
executed, whereby the Government of the
Pope has been placed in a new phase, and
he is sustained by his own strength and
| the veneration OF the great powers for the
head of the Church. Europe will sustain
his temporal power against demagogues
| Our relations with England are intimate,
and both the powers agree on all the
great questions. The perpetuation ot
Austria is necessary to the balance oi
power.
The Emperor says he is certain the peace
of the world Is not TO be disturbed. Sure
| of the present, and confident of the future,
| / have fulfilled your wishes in regard 10
| the development of our institutions on q
| liberal scale. France will use her new
rights wisely. She is respected abroad
but the conditions of war being changed
she must increase her deiences. The army
bill has been so drawn as to Tighten the
burden in times of peace and increase the
resources in time of war. Our neighbort
assume far heavier burdens. Let us evel
keep our flag high, as the best means o
preserving peace.
