PARIS, Oct. 2I-The Parliament of
France, Senate and Chamber of Deputies,
reassembled to-day. The sessions of both
Chambers merely formal and lasted
only an hour. The presidents of the two
Chambers, in their opening addresses, al
luded in strong and sympathetic terms to
the recent visit of the Gar and CZarina to
France. The president of the Chamber or
Deputies, M. Brisson, after reading a let
ter from President Faure giving the word
ing of the Cars telegram to the chief
magistrate of France on leaving that coun-
try, said the Chamber of Deputies in 1881
solemnly manifested Frances sympathy
with Russia and he expressed himself 40
being certain that the present members
of the Chamber desired to open this session
with salute of the august visitors and
proffer their wishes for the glory of
reign of prosperity throughout the empire.
Continuing, NJ Brisson remarked After
the manifestations at Cronstadt and Tou-
lon the days of October have welded
the souls of the two proud nations. Poets,
artists and the entire people celebrated
with one accord the institutions of demo-
cratic France which had in Union and con.
stancy proved their continuity of design.
Everywhere the crowds showed the Car
and Czarina the same heart and will. What
a spectacle! What symbol from which t.
derive confidence and hopev
The speech of President Brisscn was rap
turously applauded The Premier, M Me-
line, in behalf of the government, thanked
the chamber, which, he added, had shown
by its applause the value it placed the
great event which could not fail to strength
en- the government abroad while giving it
the necessary unity to speak in the name
of France. There We're frequent Interrupt
tons from the extreme left during the re-
marks of M. Meline apparently foreshad-
owing some aggressive tactics in the near
future. The Chamber then adjourned for
the day.
In the Senate the President NJ Loubet
read the same letter from President Faurc
which M. BriSSon had read in the Chamber
marks said that the visit OF the Gar and
Czarina to France gave the country the
chance to demonstrate that their sympa-
thieS were founded on community of aspI-
Iations and interests. Continuing, M. Lou
bet said: The enthusiastic receptions at
Cronstadt and Toulon signalized the anlity
of the two peoples. The unanimous accla-
nations of the august guests of France af-
firm with persistence those sympa thies,
ard the speeches made at Cherbour:r. Paris
ard ChGlonS have definitely cJnsecrated the
two nations The union thus gioriously
formed has already exercised beneficent ac-
ton and has promoted serious hopes or
great developments of the influence of
France throughout the world"
NJ. Loubets speech greatly applauded
by the Senators The Minister of Justice,
M. Darlen. in behalf of the government,
thanked the Senators for the sympathetic
manner in which they had approved of TIE
sentiments expressed in regard to the visit
of the Car and Czarina to France.
