LATER FROM EUROPE. Text of tlie Emperor’s Speech. MAXIMILIAN AND NAPOLEON NEGOTIATING FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FRENCH TROOPS FROM MEXICO. THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. Confirmation of the Ret.reat of General Prim into Portugal. CONTINUED FENIAN ARRESTS IN IRELAND. The Mexican Question. THE—EMPEROR’S SPEECH AT THE OPENING OF THE FRENCH LEGISLATURE. The session of the French Legislature was opened on the 22d by the Emperor in person. The following is his speech : Messieurs les Senators et Messieurs lis Depu tes. —The opening of the legislative session permits of a periodic exposition of the situation of the empire and the expression to you of my views. As in preceding years, I will examine with you the principal questions which interest our country. Abroad peace seems assured everywhere, for every where the means are sought for of amicably settling difficulties in place of ending them with the sword. The meeting of the English and French fleets in the same ports has shown that the relations formed upon the field of battle have not been weakened. Time has only cemented the agreement of the two countries. In regard to Germany my intention is to continue to observe a policy of neutrality, which, without pre venting us at times from being displeased or satisfied, leaves us, nevertheless, strangers to questions in which our interests are not directly engaged. Italy, recognized by almost all the Powers of Eu rope, has strengthened its unity by inaugurating its capital in the centre of tlie Peninsula. We may count upoa the scrupulous execution of the treaty of the 15th of September, and upon the indispensable mainten ance of tne power of the Hoi a bather. The bonds which attach us to Spain and Portugal are still more strengthened by my late interviews with the sovereigns of those two kingdoms. You nave shared 'rfrith me the general indignation produced by the assassination of President Lincoln, and recently the death of the King of the Belgians has caused uuanimous regrets. In Mexico the government founded upon the will of the people is being consolidated. The opposition, conquered and dispersed, have no longer a chief. The national troops have displayed valor, and the country has found guarantees of order and security which have developed its resources and raised its commerce with France alone from twenty-one to seventy-seveu mil lions. As I expressed the hope last year that our ex pedition was approaching its termination, I am coming to an understanding with the Emperor Maximilian to fix the epoch for the recall ot our troops before their return is effectuated, without comprising the French interests which we have been defending in that remote country. North America, issuing victoriously from a formi dable struggle, has re-established the Union and solemnly proclaimed the abolition of slavery. France, which forgets no noble page of her history, offers up sincere wishes for the prosperity of the great Ameri can republic, and for the maintenance of the amica ble relations which soon will have had a century’s duration. The emotion produced in the United States by the presence of our troop9 on the Mexican soil will be pacified by the frankness of our declarations. The American people will comprehend that our expedition, to which we invited them, was not opposed to their interests. Two nations equally jealous of their inde pendence ought to avoid every step which might affect their dignity and their honor. It is in the midst of populations satisfied and con fiding that our institutions perform their functions. The municipal elections are conducted with the great est order and with the most entire liberty. The laws upon coalitions, whi<ffi gave rise to some apprehen sions, have been carreWmt with strict impartiality on the part of those interested. The working class, in telligent as it is, has comprehended that the more fa cility is accorded to it to discuss its interests the more it is bound to respect the liberty of each and the se curity of all. The inquiry into the co-operative socie ties has come to demonstate how just were the bases of the law' which has been laid before you on this im portant subject. This law will permit the establish ment of numerous associations to the benefit of labbr and providence. In order to favor the development of them, I have decided that authorization to meet to gether shall be accorded to all those who, outside of politics, may desire to deliberate respecting their in dustrial and commercial interests. This liberty will be unlimited except by the guarantees which public order requires. The equilibrium of the budget is se cured by a surplus of revenue. In order to attain thia result it was neceBary to effect economy in the greater part of the public services, among others in the War Department. The army being on a peace footing there was only the alternative of reducing either tlie regimental cadres or the effective. The latter measure was im practicable. since the regiments hardiy mustered the necessary strength of men. The good of the service counselled even their augmentation. By snppress- iug the cadres of two hundred and twenty compa nies, forty-six squadrons and forty batteries, but dividing the men among the remaining companies and squadrons, we have rather strengthened than weakened our regiments. Natural guardian of the interests of the at iuy, I would not have consented to these reductions if they had necessarily altered our military organization or broken tlie existence of men whose services and devotion I have been able to ap preciate. The budget of the pnblic works and that of educa tion have not undergone any diminution. It was of U9e t o preserve to the grand enterprises of the State their fertile activity and to maintain the energetic impulse of public instruction. Agriculture has made great progress since 1862. At this moment it suffers from the lowering of the price of cereals. That depreciation is the necessary conse quence of the plenty of the harvests, and not of the suppression of the sliding scale. 1 have thought it useful to open a serious inquiry into the condition and needs of agriculture. It will, I am convinced, con firm the principles of commercial liberty. In the midst of always increasing prosperity unquiet spirits, under the pretense of discussing the liberal progress of the government, would hinder it from marching by taking from it all force and initiative. The constitution of 1852, submitted to the acceptance of the people, undertook to establish a system, ration^ ally and wrisely based upon the just equilibrium between the different powers of the State. It is at ah equal distance from two extreme situations. With a Chamber, mistress of the fate' of Ministers, the Execu tive is without authority and without spirit. In the same way it is without control if the elective chamber is not independent and in possession of the legitimate prerogative. Our constitutional forms, which have a certain analogy with those of the United States, are not deficient because they diff er from those of England, Each people should have institutions conformable to its genius and traditions. Assuredly every govern ment has its defects; but casting a look at the past I rejoice at seeing at the end of fourteen years France respected abroad, tranquil within, without political prisoners, without exiles beyond its frontiers. The nation for four score years has amply discussed theories of government. It is now no longer useful to seek the theoretical means of improving the moral and material conditions of the people. Let us employ our selves in spreading everywhere intelligence, healthy, economic doctrines, the love of what is good, and re ligious principles. Let us solve by the freedom of our transactions the difficult problem of the just distribu tion of productive forces, and let us attempt to ameli orate the condition of labor in the fields as in the work shops. When all Frenchmen invested w r ith political rights shall have been enlightened by education, they w'ill discern tlie truth without difficulty, and will not suffer themselves to be seduced by possible theories. When all those who live by daily wages shall have seen increased the benefits which assiduous toil pro cures. they will be firm supporters of a society which guarantees their welfare and their dignity. Finally, when all shall have received from infancy those principles ol faith and morality which elevate man in his own eyes, they will know that above hu man intelligence, above the efforts of science and rea son, there exists a Supreme Will which rules the desti nies of individuals as w r ell as of nations. DEPRESSION IN MEXICAN SECURITIES. The Times of the 23d, in its city article, 9ays: Mexi can securities were severely depressed by the persis tent symptoms that her present course of order and progress may be interrupted and the reign of anarchy re-established. THE ACTION OF THE UNITED STATES IN REGARD TO AF FAIRS IN MEXICO. The news per tha Australasian in regard to the atti-. tude taken by the American government towards France ou the Ml. u-,an question attracted much atten tion, and the grav ity of the situation was generally ad mitted. The London Times thinks the best hopes of the maintenance of peace lie in the deep feelings of friend ship and sympathy which Americans have towards the French people. Tli6 Times says: “The language of M. Druyn de Lhuys leads to the belief that the aux iliary corps w'ould be recalled to Europe at Once if the American govei nment would give a pledge that Mexico should be left to settle its own future destiny; and we hope so moderate a solution of a most embarrassing question will be accepted by President Johnson. DEPARTURE OF AN AGENT FOR MEXICO—THE TIME ARRIVED FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FRENCH TROOPS. London, January 25, 1866.—The Paris correspon dence of the Times gives a minute account of Sal- liard’a interview with Napoleon and his hurried de parture for Mexico. His instructions, verbal only, are to represent to Maximilian that the time has arrived for tlie withdrawal of the French troops. THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. A telegram from Madrid dated the 22d January says “Official confirmation has been received of the intel ligence that Gen. Prim entered Portugal on Saturday last, the 20th.” Prim is stated to have delivered the horses, arms and equipments of his followers to the alcade of Can- asola, Portugal. Disturbances had taken place at Reus and Valencia The province of Valincia had in consequence been pro claimed in a state of siege. Tranquility continued to prevail at Madrid, and it was asserted that the state of seige in that city would be raised in a day or two. It is officially announced that the insurgents had no engagement with the royal troops before entering Portugal. THE FENIANS. Tlie special commisssion for the trial of the Fenians continued its operations in Dublin. There were still twenty-seven cases to dispose of, and it is stated that the judges would continue their sittings, if necessary, until the last day permitted by the circuit arrange ments—i. e., about the 17th of February. The Irish police were scouring the country in all directions in search of Stephens. One day the Head Centre was reported to be at Cork; another day among the wilds of Cannaught. A favorite theory w’as that he was still in the neighborhood of Dublin, but it was currently rumored at Belfast, that he had fled northward, and had been actually traced as far as No wry. Three alleged Fenians—one of them an ex-captain in the federal army, Thomas Henry O'Brien, of the Eighty-eighth New York Irish Volunteers, had been arrested at Belfast. Proposed Disposal of Public Lands in Certain Southern States. In the House on the 7th, Mrl Julian of Indiana, brought up the bill for the disposal of public lands for homestead actual settlement in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida, with some amend ments which he had prepared. They were in reality supplementary to the Freedman’s Bureau bill, which has lately passed the House, simply extending the provisions of the old homested laws to the blacks now free. In connection a communication from the Com missioner of the Land Office was read to the House, in which that official, who is commonly known as a radi cal, advocated the extension of the benefits of the new homestead bill to jiardoned rebels. At the end of the reading Mr. Stevens, who had imperfectly heard it, inquired who the author was. Upon being told, he ejaculated something which sounded vastly like “damn him,” with a more profane prefix. This is an indica tion of Mr. Stevens’ difference w’ith other radicals. The bill expired in a parliamentary way to-day, but Mr. Julian will demand the attention of the House to it immediately after the special orders are disposed of, since it is highly important. It gives freedmen privi leges, like loyal white meq’s jirivijeges, to pre-empt parcels of eighty acres in the large body of public land* of the five States named. .News from Texas. Galveston, February 3, 1866.—Ex-President Bur nett lias published a list ol* severe charges against General Gregory in his administration of the Freed- men’t) Bureau. General Gregory says they are false, and demands a retraction or full proof. Colonies of Europeans are coming into Texas. Poles are settling on Trinity river, near Palestine. Germans and others, from the Northwestern States, are settling in the colonies. Flake’s Bulletin, a thorough Union paper and gov ernment organ at Galvcstop, denounces Gen. Howard's management of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and speaks of him as a religious hypocrite. Arrest of Cbiliun Secret Agents in New York._ The N. Y. Herald of the 8th aays: “Senor Vicuna Mackeuna, who, it is alleged, has been acting in this city as the confidential agent of the Chilian government, and Dr. Joseph Rogers, have been arrested by the United States Marshal Murray, on a charge of preparing and fitting out in New York a military expedition against the Spaniards, in violation of our neutrality laws. They were yesterday^ taken before United States District Attorney Dickinson, when counsel on their behalf claimed that they should be discharged, on the ground that Senor Mackenna. is connected with the Chilian Legation at Washington. Telegrams from official quarters at the capital state that Senor Mackenna “may not be regarded as belong ing to the Chilian Legation.” The Grand Jury have found bills of indictment, upon which the parties, who have given bail for their appearance, will be brought to trial in due time.
