PARIS, Jan. 18.-'l`he Senate and Corps Legislatiff assembled to-day. The session was opened by the Emperor with a` speech. He said the task before the Legislature was aserious one, viz., tocon- ducta government strong enough to re- press the excesses, while accepting all the benets of liberty. The laws making concessions to th`e~press, and granting the right ofpublie meeting, has had the ef- fect of preserving public order; and the fact that the recent "elections resulted in lavor of the Government, confirmed the justice _and~wislom of these concessions. The laws providing for military re-organi- zation liacl given strength and condence to the nation, which was now ready to meet all the events ofthe future. The armament cf the forces was perfect; the arsenals were lled with supplies; the reserves were well drilled; and the re-organizatiou of the `National Guard ap- proached completion; the eets had been re-created; and the fortifications,_ at all important points, were in good condition. The Imperial wish was realized., France was so placed as to be enabled to vindi- cate her status`in the destinies of the world. Peace had been heretofore sought, not because of ' weakness, but to sustain the honor ofthe State. WULlllllUUu Lennon, Jan. 16.--Tbe Independence Belge says the protocol, adopted 1 by the Conference 01 Paris, begins with a. pre- amble, stating that the representatives of the-powers who signed the treaty of Paris have met to define certainpointe of Inter- _national law more precisely. The docu- ,ment then proceeds to declare thatto. encourage insuirrections within, or priva- teering and military expeditions against, territoriesof a friendly state, is a violation of International law. When the protocol has been signed by all the powers partici- pating in the Conference, it will be aller- ed to Greece for signature. If Greece signs, the Sublime Porto will \\'itl1draw its ultimatum. -If she refuses, the great powers will remain neutral, and; permit events to take their course. ' 1)....

[HIS p|'OpOSG(.l Him. The thing is perfectly absurd, and Mr. Johnson should be ashamed of "himself. To appoint a Fenian to such a post would be e ludicrous freak, but the great. blame rests with the man who could conceive the idea. We thought. he had created disgust enough by` his conduct previous to and since the -impeachment. The only reasonable and charitable conclusion" to come to is that he does not know what he is doing. He has done many extraordi- nary things dnring his term of ofce, and seems as if determined to play out his role to the very last. . `; President Johnson has actually nomi- nated John Y. Savage, the \vell known ', Fenian Head Centre, American Consul ' at Leeds, England. This is one of the foolishest of the many foolish things Mr. ` Johnson has done. To send this man Savage to England in the cnpacity"o_f n -Consul, is simply to insult that country, and the Government could `not certainly acknowledgelxim. He has done his ut- most against the country to which he will be accredited if the Senate at Washing- ton confirms his nomination; The New York Times remarks we doubt whether the English Government would recognize him if he were sent; but we have no idea he will be sent. . The insult isjnone the less, on the part of the President, who` has proposed him. who mimr is nerfectlv absurd. l` SGIVGS. * The policy which denudes the Colonies :. of troops will be the-worst that a British Ministry ever adopted, particularly as re- 1 gards Canada, and we regret to perceive l t ' demanded their that it will be persisted in. English writers speak of garrisoning the principal places in the Colonies at the cost of Bri- tish tax-payers, as though the Colonies" were ofno value to Great Britain. Were` this really the case it would be folly to hold them. Canada has certainly never been a burden upon the mother country; and if she has been favored with twelve" regiments it was because British interests presence here. We all know what brought them out. Previous ' to their arrival there were few troops in the country, but our osition \vas con- sidered a risky one, and) which necessitated their being sent here happend at a time of the year, when the greatest difliculty is experienced in reach-' ing these Provinces where their help was most needed. To think of retaining Can- ada lltlOl' the conditions proposed is en- tirely out of the question, and British Stntesuien may [yet learn that a policy which demands the withdrawal` of the greater part of the troops will not answer. It may serve for a time; but with sleepless neighbors whose boast and aim is to ac- quire the country at all hazards, a strong military,`and close watching become im- perativel y necessary. ---.-3-j-_:. the . occurrence ` Imperi-.11 l' Cmuula. -UOW cnams, log cnums, urmz saws, ems: cut saws. moat cutters and atutfers At DRIFFILL & soiws, Rrn ford - lery will give an excellent account of all the Fenians ever likely to issue from Buf- falo or Detroit. It is astonishing how much those London editors know of a _ country four thousand miles away from them. They seem to forget, or do not know, that we have a frontier nearly fteen hundred miles in length, and that it is possible for the Fenians, it they should ever beable, to descend upon this country at various points.` But itis not ' the Fenian: we have any fear about. `It should be borne in mind that Canada is at any time liable to be made the battle groundlfor settling any dispute that may arise between Great Britain and the United States. Had the Trent atfair hap~ pencd at any other time than it did, in all probability this country would have been the scene of a bloody strife. A Why then are \ve asked to defend the country against attacks occasioned through `quar- rels in which we have no concern? Surely it will not be contended that Canadians should fight out a quarrel with the aid of two British regiments, if that quarrel was not of their own making. Left to our- _ selves we have no fear of being swallow- ed up by the adjoining republic; it is the `constant dread we are iatof having to j buckle on thc'ar-mour and defend our- selves simply because this country is an ` integral "portion of the British empire. Canada is di'erently situated from the rest of the-`Colonies, Being constantly ex- posed to attacks from the; United States if anything goes wrong between Eng- . land and America. In such a position , then, it is unreasonable to_ expect that we ; . can submit to be left without a full com- , plement of British regulars, and "at the 1 same time be told we must defend our- , selves. , nu,_ _ J3... _._I_:-I. .I-....,1....
