      One year . had passed since the commencement of the war , and . already France and Ei ^ g band had saved Turkey , gained two > battlea , forced Russia to evacuate the Principalities ,, and to exhaust her forces in the defence of the Crimea .

Wo demanded , in the intecest of rhumanity . and . of justice , the , same guarantees . for-the . Cluistions of ov « ry confession under the . oxoluaivo protection . of the Sultan . In rthe interests of the Porto , aa well aa in thoso of Europe , we demanded that Itueaia should limit . to a reasonable dagree ., . sufficient to ehiold Jjoriogninat .

It is , therefore , with regret that I abandoned the idea . . . ,, " My Government > will propose to you to vote the annual Eecruitment Bill . There will be no extraordinary levy , and the bill will take the usual course necessary for the regularity of the administration of a recruitment bill .

      " In conclusion , gentlemen , let us pay here , solemnly , a just tribute of praise to those who fight for the country ; let us mingle our regrets for those -whose loss we have to deplore . So great an example of unselfishness and constancy will not have been given in vain to tbe world . Let us not be discouraged by the sacrifices which are necessary , for , as you are aware , a nation must either abdicate every political character , or , if it possesses the instinct and the will to act conformably to its generous nature , to its historical traditions , to its providential mission , it must learn how to support ¦ at times the trials which alone can retemper it , and restore it to the rank which is its due . With faith jn the Almighty , and perseverance in our efforts , we shall obtain a peace worthy of the alliance Of two great nations /'
