The French Senate and Corps Les
gislatif assembled last Monday. s! 4
long speech was made by the Empe-
ror, opening as follows: sl
The necessity of resuming the dis.
cnssion Of important laws has Obliged
me to call you together. earlier than
usual, and your assistance. Since you
separated, vague disquietudes have
arisen to affect the public mind of
Europe and restrict the movements
of industry and commercial transac-
tons in all quarters. Notwithstand-
ing the declarations of my Govern
ment, which has never varied from a
pacific attitude, the belief has been
spread that d modification in the in
ternal system of Germany must be-
come means of conflict. This
uncertainty could not endure much
longer. 1t is necessary to accept
frankly the changes which have taken
place on the other side of the Rhine,
and to proclaim that so long as our
interests and our dignity shall not be
threatened, we will not interfere in
the transformation affected.
The disquiet that has been dis
played is difficult of explanation at q
period i'll which France has offered to
the world the most imposing specta-
Gle of Cancellation and peace. The
Universal Exposition, where nearly all
the sovereigns of Europe have at
tended, and where the representa-
tives of the laboring classes of all
countries have met, has drawn closer
the ties of fraternity between nations.
1t has disappeared, but its traces will
have deep impression upon our
age; for, after having majestically
risen, the exhibition has not only
shone with momentary brilliancy,
but it has destroyed host of preju-
dices and of errors-the shackles of
labor and intelligence, and the bar
riers between the different people, as
we'll as the different classes of inter
national hatreds-these are what the
exhibition has cast behind it.
But these incontestible pledges of
concord do not allow us to dispense
with improving the military institu-
tions of France. 1t is the imperious
duty of every Government to follow
progress, independent of circum.
stances, in all the elements which
constitute the strength of country,
and it is for us a necessity to bring
to perfection the military organiza-
ton.
Of the Roman complication, he
says: Revolutionary agitation, pre-
pared III broad daylight, Threatened
the Papal States. The convention of
not having been carried
out, I have been compelled to send
again our troops to Rome to protect
the Holy See from Republican in
vaders. Our conduct could not par
take of anything hostile to the indie
pendence of Italy, and that nation,
for moment surprised, has not been
long in understanding the dangers
these revolutionary manifestations
caused to monarchial principles and
European order.
Calm is now almost entirely re-es-
tablished in the States of the Pope.
and we may calculate the proximate
time when our troops will be recalled.
For us, the convention of September,
1865, exists so long as it is not re-
placed. The relations of Italy to the
Holy See interest the whole of Eu-
rope. We have proposed to the
powers to settle these relations ut q
conference and thus perfect new COM
plication.
The speech concludes with the fol-
lowing emphatic declaration: For my
own part, you may rest assured I will
uphold firmly the power conferred
on me, for no obstacle nor unjust op-
position will shake either my courage
or my faith in the future.
Cnrbuncles and boils come from i'm
pure blood, Nature throws out these i'm
purities OF the blood, which should be
regarded as warming. Purify your blood,
