PARIS, Jan. 18-The Senate and Corps Legis-
latif assembled to-day. The session was opened
by the Emperor in person, with speech from the
throne. He said that the task before the Legis-
lature was serious one, viz: to conduct the gov
ernment with sufficient strength TO repress eX-
cesses, while accepting all the benefits of liberty
The laws making concessions to the press and grant
ing the right of public meeting had had the effect
of preserving public order.
The fact that the recent elections resulted in
favor of the government confirmed the justice and
wisdom Of these concessions. The laws providing
for military organization had given strength and
confidence to the nation, which now ready to
meet all wants of the future. The armament of
the forces perfect, the arsenas were filled with
supplies, the reserves were well drilled, and the
reorganization of the National Guard approached
completion; the fleets had been reftted and the
Notifications at all important points in good
condition. The Imperial wish was realized

nations.
| The Chambers would attend to the internal de-
velopment of the country, mainly through its agri-
cultural interests and might possibly seek to bring
| about reduction of the public charges. The En-
| peror referred to the approaching reelection o.
the Corps Legislatif, and congratulated the men,
| bers on the harmony which existed between the
| Throne, the Legislature and the people, and de
| clared that he favored full and free discussion
| when it did not touch the constitution That in
i
benefits which it had conferred upon the country.
| The Emperor concluded as follows:
| "All governments are liable to error. Fortune
declines to smile all enterprises, but the country
| knows no thought, no act of mine, which has not
been given to the glory of France. It knows that
| j first sought to create vigorous control of the
administration, and then to enlarge the powers OF
| 6eliberative assemblies to prove there was a true
| support of the government in the independence
| and patriotism of the great bodies of the State
Soon the nation, on the election, will make the path
which all must follow, and will repeat its rejection
of revolution and its desire to forward the desti-
MES of France in the ultimate union Of honor and
liberty"
