PAMS, February 4, 1867.- The Emperor Napoleon, in his speech be? fore the Corps L?gislatif, on the as? sembling of that body by imperial descree to-day, said: Serious events have happened in Europe, almost fulfilling the great Napoleon's idea, to unite all the great homogeneous nations hitherto sepa? rated, and which is the only possible balance of power in Europe. Ger? man and italian events have paved the way to it. Their success cannot disturb France. I stood aloof and helped the peace which Prussia and Italy made without dismembering Austria. France was just and neutral. In another part of the globe, we have been obliged to employ force to re? dress legitimate grievances, and we have endeavored to raise an ancient empire. Tho happy results at first obtained were compromised by an inauspicious concurrence of circum? stances. The guiding idea of the Mexican expedition was an elevated one-to regulate a people and im? plant among them ideas of order and progress: to open vast outlets to our commerce, and leave the lecognitiou of services rendered to civilization to mark our path. Such was my desire and yours; but as soon as the extent of our sacrifices appeared to me to exceed the interests which had called us across the ocean, I spontaneously determined upon the recall of our army corps, in order that tho Go? vernment of the United States might comprehend that it was only the absence ol' conciliation in policy which had embittered relations which, for the welfare of both coun? tries, should remain friendly. Thc Emperor then proceeded to say, that the great powers ought to act in concert to satisfy the Chris? tians in the East, protect the right.-, of the Forte, and prevent complica? tions. The Rome treaty of September has been executed, whereby the Govern? ment, of tin; Pope has been placed in a now phase, and ii!.- is sustained by his own strength and the veneration of the great powers for the head of the. church. Europe will sustain his temporal power against demagogues. Our relations with England arc in? timate, and Loth powers agree on all the great questions. The perpetuation of Austria is ne? cessary to the balance of power. The Emperor says he is certain that the peace of the world is not to bc disturbed, and adds: "Sure of the present, and confident of the future, J have fulfilled your wishes in regard to the development of our institu? tions upon a liberal scale."' France will use her new rights wisely. She is respected abroad ; but the conditions of war being changed, she must increase lier defences. Tho army lull has been so drawn as to lighten the burden in times of peace, arid io increase the resources in tines of war. Our neighbors assume far heavier burdens. Let us kee]? our flag high, as the best means of preserving peace. The prosperity of France advances. Tho indirect revenue has increased 50,000,000 francs, and we shall soon be able to satisfy all interests, reduce the land tax, and make public im? provements whereby the working classes a^e to be benefited and liberty to be solid, lasting ?md glorious. 1 trust in my people, my right and my conscience.

FI-UAL.IIV._To Dr. Ho.s letter -DEAR Sin: This is to certify that I was taken with tho dyspepsia a year ago j last March, and, for a period of eight months, was one of the most miserable creatures you ever beheld, not being able either to oat, drink or sleep, and was com? pelled to walk the floor incessantly. I waa nearly deprived of my reason, and hope had entirely loft me, all tho efforts lade j for my recovery having proved fruitless. j By tho first of November, 18G5, I had t become so weak and feeble that I could j scarcely stand alone, and, to all appear- | ance, would soon die. At this time, (hav- I ?Hg read your advertisement,) my wife prevailed upon mo to try your Bitters. A j bottle was procured, and. strange to say, j 1 soon commenced recovering. I have ! taken four bottles, and am enjoying aa ( ! good health now as could be expected for ? I one of my age, about sixty years.) I j nave no doubt that it was your Bitters | i alone, under Divine Providence, that I effected this wonderful cure. R. T. FLUALIN. I Hudson, Mich., August 3o, 18G(5.
