The Corps Legislatif assembled
To-day. The session was opened by the
Emperor in person with n speech from
the throne, he said: The task before
them was serious one, viz: to conduct
II government strong enough to repress
the excesses while accepting all the
benefits of liberty. The laws making
concessions to the press, and granting
the right of public meetings had had
the effect OF preserving ipublic order;
the fact that the recent elections result
ed i'll favor of the government confirm
ed the justice and wisdom OF this con-
cession. The laws providing for mill
tary reorganization had given strength
and confidence to the nation which
was now ready to meet all the events of
the future. The armament of the forces
was perfect, the arssnals were fill
ed with supplies, the reserves well
drilled and the reorganization of The
national guRTdapprOnched completion.
the fleet had been re created and the
fOrti1ications at all important points
were in good condition. The Imperial
placed as to vindicate her status in the
destinies of the world. Peace had been
heretofore sought, not because OF weak
ness, but to sustain the honor OF the
State. The revolution in Spain had not
altered the good relations France had
with that country.
The Conference which has just ter
minated its sessions, and which would
extinguish a conflict. which had be-
come imminent, was the last grand act,
the importance of which all should APP
preciate. The members of that body
had all agreed upon principle calcu-
lated to restore friendship between the
Turks and Greeks, if the firm hopes of
success which they entertained should
be realized, nothing would be left to
trouble the general harmony of the
nation. The Chambers would attend
10 the internal development OF the
country, mainly through its ngricultu.
raj interests, and might possibly seek
to bring about reduction in tho pub
lie charges. The Emperor referred to
the approaching reelection of the
corps.
The Emperor congratulated the
members on the harmony which exist
ed between the throne, the legislature
and the people, and declared lie favored
free and full discussion, when it did
not touch the constitution. That in
strument was above all debate, and he
exalted the benefits which it had con-
ferred upon the country. The Emperor
concluded as follows: Governments
are liable to error. Fortune declines to
smile on all enterprises; bn: the cOun-
try knows no thought or act OF
mine which has not been given
to tho glory of France. 1t knows
that first sought to create a vigorous
control of the administration, and then
to enlarge the powers OF deliberative
assemblies; TO prove that the true sup
port of the government is in the inde-
pendence and patriotism OF the great
bodies of the State. Soon the nation in
the elections will mark the path which
all must follow, and will repeat its re-
jeciion of revolution and its desire TO
found the dcstinics of France on the in
timnto union OF power and liberty.
