tHI AHiWB 0 TH1 EMPEROR TO TUB ADDRESS
Or Till LKQIBLATIVI BODT.
It wu expected that the Kmperor would avail
himself of the opportunity ol the preaentina of
the addreoi of the legislative body to paolfy the
eonntry, which is kept In a state of constant sus
pense by one tutor and another) and that lie would
ssnro us that be bad come to an amicable tinder
landing; with tbe Government of tbe United States
to evacuate Mexico Terr shortly j and, flnallr, that
he was ready to accord every kind of libcrtr to the
people of Franco. However, hope told a flattering
talc, and we have Brain teen doomed to disappoint,
jnont ; lor the Empeior, In hi answer tot hp address,
tells us that he is perloctlv satisfied with his minis
try, which ho think is pursuing tho right con ran,
nnd he has no dciro that it should depart from it,
The bent thiur lo be done is to let well alone. Ho is
of opinion tlmt Franco, at the prenent momont, on
Joys as much liberty as she can boar, etc. cte. 80
you sco our master fancies everything it for the best
in the bent of the worlds.
The Kmpemr's answers has Riven vory general dis
satisfaction, tor there is now tlmt universal thirst
fi r liberty which has so often been the precursor of
revolutions.
Those members who assisted at tho presenting of
(he address do not seem to be very oharniod with
the dlpo'it on ot tho Kmperor, and tho last bon mot
ni.w circulating U that man proposes, Oud disposes,
and the Emperor indispnses.
TUB SAINT HELENA BANQUET,
wh;ch every year brines torothor tho veterans of the
first E:nplro now livincr, was as usual hold on the
10th of March. On that day a fow slinky old rontlo
men, after hnvine paraded tho streets of I'arin, and
placed ac own ot immortclls or everlasting flowers
on the railing ot the column of tho l'lnco Vcndomo
meet in a sp'endid banquet halt, and partake of a
maffnificenl dinner oflurod to them by the Emperor.
Mons , Iio'inowiol presided, and several loyal toasts
wore drank by tho vivants ot the visiblo gardens.
Scvornl relics of tho first Kmperor, such a a piece
of bin coffin, tin old hat, and a branch ot tho weep
ing willow which overhung his grave, woie handed
round and gazed upon with religious veneration by
the assembled pensioners; a fow years more find tho
lant of thuso ido'arors will have disappeared, for
their numbers aro rapidly decreasing.
liKeiaXATION OP MONS. BE BtTSgrjN.
Tho houorable member for tho department of the
Xowcr lihine had lat autumn prmired his consti
tuents to uigo tho Government to adopt a moro'
liberal policy; but finding that such a step had
become unnecessary, in conwquonco ot tho promises
of the Lmperor to crown the edifice as soon at) it
became expediout, he refused to givo tho tiers parti
wl.icu voted the amendment; tho consequence i-"
that ho leeW himself In honor bound to throw up
bis scat, and again present himself bo'.oro his con
atituonts. For somo timo past fhin?s havo not gone very
swimmingly with our French l'rotcslants, who are
divided in two camps tho one orthodox, and tho
other liberal or bread.
MONS. MATiTIN'rARCIIOUD
Having lately incurred tho displeasure of tho Con
siBtory of l'aris, for having expressed liberal opi
nions on tho pulpit, was suspended for a timo uy
that body. Mons. I'aschoud, backed by several
members of the church, has obstinately rofu.ed to
bow to tho judgment of the Consistory, and the con
sequence has beeu great dissension among the mem
bers of the reiormcd denomination. The matter
has been lel'eirod to the Stato, which will bo called
npou to decide in a matter oi somo importance to
the friends of Protestantism.
I10.N8. MIRKB, TUB GREAT STOCK JOBBER,
or the modem Luir, as he is called, is again pluviog
a part in the. financial wor d. It is well Known to
all thuso in any way acquainted wltb what takes
place in l'aris, that Mires, tho Jewish banker and
speculator, was, some years back, tho money man
of tho ilay, atd it was atone lime thought that he
"would soon rival Rothschild in wealth. Ho was tho
owner ot several streets in the new part of Paris, and
the passage between the Boulevard des Itnlious and
the ltuo Richelieu, now ca led Passage dos I'rinces,
formerly l'assaee Mires, was his property. How
ever, it appears that all was not quite rinht with tho
iamous jobber, for one day he went down with a
run, and soon disappeared Irom the financial world.
He has, however, again appeared on the scene 01'
action, and many prophesy that he will one day bo
again on the top of the tree, as tho Mires schemes,
which had almost fnllon to nothing, are rising
rapidly every day, Tho sbaieholdora remember tho
last words of Hires at the eeucial meeting held three
years aeo, "Let me work ill peace, and I will pay
you all."
FOREIGN MATTERS .
Foreign questions are of' very meagro interest at
present. It is feared that tho carrying out of tho
Convention oi September 15, with the Pope, will be
attended with some difficulty ; but sufficient lor the
4ay is tho evil thereof. The Austrian aud Prus
sians ar again at loggerheads, aud it is feared that
tho great Teutonic powers will be obliged to settle
their differences by appeals to aims.The Conference
now sitting in l'aris is eaid not to be able to como to
terms with respect to the seitling ot the Danubian
question ; but as ail this is on (lit, tho loast said about
it tbe better. I will now leave such grave matters as
policies and finance to entertain you, with, matters
Tr.ore familiar. The spirits of our Emperor have not
been the best of late; ha haf had many things to
worry him ever since his return from Compeljue;
he may well have exclaimed with Schiller ou his re.
turn lrom the country :
"Die wchonen tagei von Aranjuci Mud ormbtr,
(the pleasant days of Aranjnsa are now one by.)
Ever since he has again had to attend to the afibirs
of State, one vexation teems to have succeeded
anothor bis opposition to the wishes of the people
has made him rathor unpopular of late, and he i no
loxgoi greeted wi,th tbe ones of Vive V Emperor, as
formerly, A fow evenings ago he and the Empress
went to tbe Odeon Theatre to witness the first per.
lormance of a new play, entitled Lz Contagion, on
his arrival, tbe numerous students standing about tbe
place de l'Odeon's cried out, do not destroy the Lux.
wmburg, etc. .which very much displeased his Majoety,
who the next day seriously reproached the Minister
of State lor not having given stricter orders to the
police to prevent any offensive demonstration.
Our Lenten amusements lollow thulr stoady course.
The latest hit has been the appearance of Liszt, the
well-known pianist, who some time back, being sick
of tbe vanlues oi this world, not ordained a priest of
tbe Holy Caiholie and ttoiuun Apostolio Church.
The new Abbe bai been houiseed to his heart' con
tent in the gay capital. A lew davs aijo a mass of
his composition was sung in the Church of St.
ustache before au Immense praying congregation.
Tbe tickets, twenty francs a piece, brought in a flue
anm, which will be appropriated to charitable pur.
poBts. Liszt, instead of spending bis time in prayer
and meditation, is to be seen among tliu gayest of
the ray.
Host of kit evenings are spent in the charming
musical reunions held at Hotwini's , the evergreen
composer ot tbe pair of operas, It Bnrbiere and Semi.

Original IMS. Copy of 'The Star-Spanglcd
llnnnei," by the Author.
Frcm the National intelligencer.
It will be gratifying to the public to know
thht there is nn accessible copy ot Frnncis 8.
Key's nntiOBul toul-ftirring poem, In his own
hand-wnliiip n copy prepared, too, ninny years
niter its conipopition, nr,il evidently in the exact
laugiuipc intcnuca by the author, as it was pre
ccnted bv hitu to the late esteemed James Mnlier,
tor moro than, thirty year tbe gardener of the
Executive Man-Ion, well known for his extra
ordinary ciiLliusin.Mii 00 the subject of American
victories over the British.
The copy referred to has for some days been
on exhibition in the window of Messrs. Philip
fe Solotiionn, and the identity of the hand writing
is ccrtiticd by Judge Duulop, Nicholas Culluu,
V.f(., lieu. Peter Force, nnd Joseph II. Bradley,
Esq., nil ot whom were Intimately acquainted
wuli Mr. Key, nnd perfectly familiar with bis
style of penmanship. In liiict, hi style was so
peculinr and to miiiorm that it would be almost
impossible lor any one who had ever noticed it
with ordinary care to bo mistaken.
The peculiur circumstances in which the
author wn3 placer! at the momeut of the inspira
tion that resulted iu the immortal song, and
ilurinir wh'ch it was partially written, atll per
tinency to the language and lorce to the
thoughts so musically expressed.
The ''American C'vcloiiifdiii" contain the fol
lowing paragraph: "Francis Scott Key, an
American la wjer und song-writer, born in Fre
derick county, Maryland, Augurt 1. 1770, died
in Laltinuire, January 11,1613. He was edu
cated at fSt. John's Colleirc, Annapolis, nnd com
menced the practice of law at Frederick City.
"Subsequently he removed to Washington,
where he was lor many years District Attorney
ol the istrict of Columbia. As a song-writer
he tr, chiefly known by his "Stur-Hpangled Bun
ncr," a popular national lyric, sutgcBted ami
partially written while the author was detained
in the liritibh fleet during the bombardment of
Fort Mclleury, near Baltimore, ot which he was
an interested witness." ,
According to the best information within our
reach, he was picked up in a small boat while
goina: to the British fleet to obtain the release of
a friend, and having been detaiuedover niirlit as
a prisoner, whs nn unwilling spectator ot tbe
bombardment; mid. by the light of rockets ami
blasting t hell, he and his companion, to whom
it would seem he addressed himself in the poem,
could catch occaiiv.nul gli raphes ot the hived tint;
still flying deiiatiil.,' over (he fort that protected
Baltimore. Hi tjcc his language, "tho clouds of
the light."
lie alao hoard the vaunting boast of a British
oll'.ci r, that the tort would be reduced in a brief
period alter the nttack; nnd this circumstance
explains the uee ol the pronoun in the singular
number in the line, "This blood has washed out
bis foul toototrp's pollution."
The change ot ' W to "o'er" in the line "
now i-hiups on the stream," is positively
unpardonable us it does not present the glori
fying picture intended ,by the author, viz.. the
reflection of the Hug from the surface of the
water.
Looking down upon the blood-stained deck of
the vessel alter I lie bombardment, ha was in
spired to the use of the exultant language,
"J'.7s blood has wnthed out," etc.
We give below a verbatim copy, italicising tho
words that have been changed by various com
pilers, and reicrrinu by numerals to sonic ot the
changes thut arc most common:

From the London Star, March 12. !
The Bothern libel case is not yet over, so far
as that eminent British ludge, Mr. Thomas
Chambers, who Is "rather disposed to believe in
spiritualism," is concerned. It ta said that
a rather pertinent question aueut Mr. Deputy
Recorder Chambers' administration of justice in
the case in point will be put to the Home Secre
tary in the liousc of Commons. And in another
way he will remember the Bothern libel caie;
ana, accordmr to the slang phrase, "leel sorry
he spoke." There is very Hitle doubt that Gov
ernment will specially recognize the services of
Mr. Kussell Gurney, the Recorder on the Ja
maica Commission, by promoting him ou bis
return to some higher ollice, a step which, of
course, would leave the ltccordership vacant.
The Law 'limes states that there are already
several candidates tor the berth: it is to be ex
pected that w hen the proper time lor seleqtion
arrives the lueli indicia! abilities lately displayed
by Mr. Chamber- will not be overlooked.
But thouKii the sympathy with' Mr. Bothern
has beeu expressed in a very marked manner by
the press and the p .:0lic all the daily journals,
tbe kalur'iay Mrvieu) and tbe Spectnlor having
commented on Coleman's libel and the ludgo's
sentence in tbe strongest terms, and Mr, Botjiern
having received the warmest greeting ou peing
called for ward at the close of his engagement on
Saturday, tho bcuto rising at hlua and cheering
'tremendously, v. heu one in the audience called
out "libel !"-lt nn;st be acknowledged that Mr.
'Coleman has not merely .got oil cheaply, but, so
far as can ho ascertained, has male a good
thing of it.
There are, it appears, a few members of the
Block Exchange who vary the monotony of
watching the market wkh rapping the tuoles,
and who, after bulling and bearing time Is over,
give themselves up to the practices ot spiritual
ism. Among these pillars of commerce a sub
scription was made tor the purpose of defraying
the expenpesof Coleman'silelcnt-e, a subscription
so good that, if repott may be believed, tho
martyr bns considerable bolnnco in hand. An
noyed at this, and at the met baviug gone forth
to the world thai Mr. Coleman is a stockbroker,
certain gentlemen ol the fctock Exchange have
decided cn presenting a testimonial to Mr.
Sothern as a mark of their esteem.
Royalty, the MenslcF, and Castor OU.
From a late l'aris letter.
The most alarming reports have been In cir
culation within the past week regarding tho
health of the Trlnce Imperial. It was reported
that he had the smallpox, and was dangerously
ill. At length the Momleitr. however, published
a bulletin informing us that his little Mightiness
only had the measles; and tho last report is that
tho malady, having pursued its reeular course,
is now diminishing iu violence, and tbe state ot
the Prince is highly satisfactory. It certainly
does detract somewhat lrom the dignity oi pros
pective sovereignty to have it acknowledged
that a Prince Imperial can be allheted with such,
a vulgar disease as the measles. The Empress,
like a true mother, with a more than imperial
heart, is said to watch day and night at the bed
side of her darling.
I recollect some years since I was forcibly
struck with the idea ol our common humanity
and human fnilings and weakness, from which
even the loliiestwerc not exempt, when, hap
pening to stop at my druggist's one day, he con
liaeiitiiilly inlormea me that ho had just sent a
dose of castor oil to the Prince.-s Cluthilde. What
ir the advantage ol being a Princess if one has
to lake castor oil ? 1
A new candidate has appeared for the vacant
