SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR.
FRANCE.

Openlng Of the French Senate and Corps
LesisIatif-The Empcror's Speech.
PARIS, Jan. IS, 1859.
The Senate and Corps Leglslatif assembled to-day.
The session was opened by the Emperor In person
with speech from the throne. He said the task
before the Legislature was serious onc-yiz., to
conduct 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 or public meeting
had had the e1ccr OF preserving public
order. and 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 reorganization had given
strength and confidence to the nation, which was
ready TO meet all events Of the future. The ar
mament Of the forces was perfect the ar5enals were
filled with supplies the reserves were well drilled
and the reorganization of the National Guard ap-
preached completion, the 1eets have been recrcated
and the Notifications at all important points were In
good condition. The imperial wish was realized
France was SO placed as to vindicate her
status In the desnes Of the world. Peace had been
heretofore sought not because OF weakness, but 10
sustain the honor OF the State The revolution in
Spain had not altered the good relations of France
with that country. The Conference, which had Just
terminated its sessions, and which would extingush
q CONFLICT which had become imminent, was the last
grand act. the Importance Of which all should appre-
ciate. The members OF that body had all agreed on
principle calculated to restore friendship between
the Turks and Greeks II the firm hopes OF
success which they entertained should be
realized, nothing would be left to trouble the
general harmony Of the nations. The Chambers
would attend TO the internal development OF the
country mainly through Its agricultural Interests
and might possibly seek to bring about reduction
in the public charges. The Emperor referred to the
approaching reelection OF the Corps Ltgislaf con-
graduated the members on the harmony which ex-
isted between the throne, the Legislature and tile
people, and declared he favored full and free dis
cusslon when it did not touch the consttu-
tIon; that instrument was above all debate;
and he exalted the benefits which II had
conferred upon the country. The Emperor
concluded az follows :-ss All governments are
liable to error; fortune declines TO smile on all
enterprises but the country knows no thought, no
act OF mine which has not been given to the glory
Of France 1t knows that first sought to create .
vigorous control OF the administrations and then TO
enlarge the powers OF deliberative assemblies, to
prove that the true support OF the government il in
the independence and patriotism OF the great bodies
OF the state. Soon the nation in the elections win
mark the path which all must folow ana will repeat
its rejection OF revolution and ITS desire 10 found the
destlnies Of France On the intimate union Of power
ana liberty.n
