Psris, Dec. 4, 1869, The meeting of the Chambers, which the French ond Snglish press have written so much about, and So heartily censured its postponement, came of on Monday with the usual imposing ceremony. It ts customary to inaugurate the opening by assembling the m ra Of both houses in @ hall of vast dimen- slousin the Palace of the Louvre, whero ali the dignitaries of the empire, clyil and military, are in- vited, together with the diplomatic. The imperial family of both sexes are invariably present. On this occasion the chair of the Empress stood vacant, as she has not yet rewurned from her tour to the East. The Emperor, preceded by hts chamberlains and the high officers of bis household, entered the hall at the“hour announced, one P. M., and was received with extraordinary enthusiasm. It waa his first public appearance since lis ilincas, He walked with a firm step, but hia face basa more pultd hue than before, He wes vociferously eneered tHl he took fis seat on the throne, He began at once to read his speech, and his yoice was disttact and strong. He made no effect to arrest attention by nndue emphasis, but kept the same level tone throughout, The siience was profound; but he was repeatedly interrupted by cheers. The first phrase that brought down tne house was when he said, “Frapee wishes far liberty, but with order, I wiil answer for order.” This elicited & universal shont of “Vive l’Empereur;" for, pndoubtediy, the dom. nent sease of all France now 1s that of order. Tuis quiet but sonorous asdurance of the mau of iron wili that order should not be disturbed, caused the on to every mind present and to that or thousands who haye read 1% since, that the ers of street fighting was closed while Napoleog IL lived and reigned. At the close of the Imperial discourse an incident occurred worth noticing, The master of ceremonies, according to usage, began to call over the names of the members of tie Lower Chamber elected since tae last sitting. Those of Crémienx, Arago, &c., were called out amid general silence; but when that of Kochefort was heard @ burst of Iaughter followed so arty ag to be contagious. The Emperor could not forbear simiing; but gradually ifs ironical merri- ment ceased, aa the whole As#embly rose and gavo enthusiasm 80 prolonged ‘0 siucere as to bring a flush on Napoleon's pale The cry of “Vive Hmpereur’ ,reaounded , and ladies waved their handkerchiefs, s evident the intellect and dignity of France there assembled repudiated with scorn the coarse i#m poous Of the AcUrclious pamphiereer, {Wii Not discuss the speecn itself, It will more likely receive @ lair appreciation at the naads of foreign Journais than here, The opposition of course assall it, whie the government organs of course sustain it.
