Opening Of The French Legislative Assemb...
OPENING OF THE FRENCH LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY . —SPEECH OF THE EMPEEOR . The French Chambers opened on Monday , when the Emperor delivered the following speech : — " Messieurs les Senateurs , " Messieurs les Deputed , — " The diplomatic negotiations commenced during . the coarse of our hist session -already made you foresee that I should be obliged to call you together when they came to a termination . Unhappily the Conferences of Vienna have failed in procuring peace , and I come again to appeal to the patriotism of the country . and to your own . "Were we wanting in moderation in settling the conditions ? I dojiot fear to examine the question before you .
One year had passed , since , the commenmmant of the war , and already France and England had . saved Turkey , gained two battles , forced Russia to evacuate the Principalities , and to exhaust her forces in the defenoe of the Crimea . Wehad , moreover ,. in our favour theadheaion of Austria And the moral approbation of the rest of Europe . In , that situation , the Cabinet of Vienna asked us if we would consent to treat upon bases vaguely formulated . Even before our successes , a refusal on our pant would have seemed natural ; . and was it not to be supposed that the demands of France and England would increase in proportion to . thoigroatness of the struggle . and . of the sacrifices already . made ? Yet Franco , and England . did not turn their advantages to account , ox > even make the most of the rights given to them by previous treaties , , so much had they at . heart to facilitate poace
and to give an unchallengeable proof of their modera tion . WtQ restricted ourselves to ask in the interests of Germany ., the free navigation of the Danube ,, and a breakwater < agaiaat the . il & ussiun flood which continually obstructed the mouths of that great river . We demanded , in the interests of Austria and of Germany , a better constitution for the Danubian Principalities , that they . might « cr-ve as , a barrier against thase repoated invasions of the North . We demanded , in the interest of humanity , and . of justice , the same guarantees for the Christians of every confession under , the exclusive protection of . the Sultan . In the interests of the Porte , as wedl as in those of Europe , we domondod that Russia should limit to a reasonable : degrce , sufficient to shield her against any attack , the number of her ships in the JJlack Sea ,, a number which she oould only maintain with an . aggressive objeot .
M Well , all these propositions , wbioh . I may call magnanimous from their duintoroatednoss , and which were approved in principle by Austria , by Prussia , and by Kudaia hecsolf , have evaporated in the Conferences . Russia , who had coueented , in . theory , to . put an end to her preponderance in the Black Sou , has refusod every limitation o £ bar . ( naval fouees , and we have still to wait i # v Austriaito fulfil Uor ongagomenta , which , oonttifltod in cend « cing , our tcoaty of a , llianoe oifonnivti and ' 'defensive 4 f the jnegotiations . faviltitL . Auatvia , it ia true , proposed to ue toiiguarantee witii her hy treatyi the indopondoncc of Tuukoy , iand / to ootnaider for Oho future aaaaamw l « Ui > tin , inosaose of the nuanbor of lluuuian . ships of war KCMditng . that before * he , cammencoiueat . of Jioatilitiaa . To aca « pt'Suoh at proposition was diojp «(| ublo ,. for U in no WfKttar . 'bound Busaia : auuV on . the contoary , wo should
apparently have sanctioned her preponderance in the Black . Soai by treaty . Thenwar had to follow its course . " The admirable devotion of the army and navy will , I trust , soon lead to a happy result . It . is for you to provide me with the means to continue the stuuggle . The country has already shown what resources it has at
its command , and the confidence it places in me . Some months since , it offered l , 700 , 000 , 000 f . more than I demanded . A portion of that sum will suffice to maintain its military honour and its rights as a great nation . " I had resolved to go and place myself in the midst of that valiant army , where the presence of the Sovereign could not have failed to produce a happy influence , and , witnessing the heroic efforts of oui soldiers , I should have been proud to lead them ; but serious questions which were being agitated abroad , and which have always remained pending , as well as the nature of circumstances , demanded at home new and important measures . It is , therefore , with regret that I abandoned the idea . ..
" My Government will propose to you to vote the annual Eecruitment Bill . There will be no extraordinary levy , and the bill will take the usual course neces sary for the regularity of the administration of a recruitment bill . " In conclusion , gentlemen , let us pay here , solemnly , a just tribute of praise to those who fight for the country ; let us mingle our regrets for those whose loss we have to deplore . So great an example of unselfishness and constancy will not have been given in vain to the world . Let us not be discouraged by the sacrifices which are necessary , for , as you are aware , a nation , must either abdicate every political character , or , if it possesses the instinct and the will to act conformably to its generous
nature , to its historical traditions , to its providential minion , it must learn how to support at times the trials which alone can retemper it , and restore it to the rank which is its due . With faith in the Almighty , and perseverance in our efforts , we shall obtain a jieace worthy of the alliance of two great nations . "
