At the opening of the French Chambers, the Emperor made a pacific speech, and accepted frankly the late changes in Germany, expressing his intention not to interfere unless French interests were affected. No hostility was felt towards Italy, but the September Convention must be respected. Pending the decision of the Conference, the present French army is to be modified with a view to a reduction of the forces during time of peace, and their increase during war.

Its acceptance byEngland and Prussia is probable, and Munich is proposed as tbe place of meeting.
