JOHN MILLEDGS, Governor. • PARIS, April i. Yefierday at 3 o’clock, p. m. the prince, ar; h-chancellor of tbs empire, repaired to the Senate, which had been alfjtnbled by order of the emperor,-—After being received with the usual ceremony, his ferenc highness caufc 1 the secretary of the Senate to read the decree, which authorifed him to pre fide at the present fefii an, and he then pronoun ced the fallowing address : GENTLEMEN ; At the moment when France, uniting in opinion with you, allured her happiness and glory, by fweartng allegiance to our august fnereigo, yon- wifdo.n preferred the ne. csllity of cfiablilbing a fvftem of hereditary government, and of confirming it by infii turi' ns analogous thereto. Vo ir wishes arc partly accomplifiied, and they will be still more Co by the fcvcral ads which his majefly the emperor and king, has dir-fted me to place before you. And re. cei ving with gratitude these new tcftimonials of his confidence in the Senate, and love for his people, you will hafien to cause them to be tranferihed into yonr registers. The find of the a,'b which 1 come to com mnnicate, is a fiatuie con aining the difpo fitiona which refillt from the 14.11 article of tli' crwnH * * r iorcM) 15 “ ar IZ ) I’his idature regnlji'es whatever concerns the civil efiablillimont of the impe rial family, and designates the duty of the p inces and princcffcs, who compose it, to wards the emperor. The principles which confiitute that in. porUnt family fiarute, announce ho v dear if is to the heart of his m tjefty, that tiie dy naily of which he is the founder, fhouid per petuate the happlnefs of France, and fulfil the elevated hopes of which it is the objeft. It is above all interesting to the people, that the pi inces Ihould be railed above other men. Tic honors which farround their cradle, are founded in the wi!h of giving addition, a -_ authority, tiie examples o{ fuhmiffion and virtue, which arc the fufi debt towards the country. It is aifj necdlary to the accomp’ilhment of their high de links, that they fhouid be placed from their birth, under the eyes of the father of the empire, in order that his fipcrintcudance ihould di'ieft their thoughts to the In tore ft of the ftatc, and that the imoft rigid morals Ihould purify and enable all their attachments. The fecund aft is a decree, which effefts the re-union of the Venetian province* to the kingdom of Italy, whereby that part of Jus majilly's eltates will receive the incrcaf. ed importance and luftre, which the glory of its founder gave rcafon to expeft. * 7 By the 3I decree, his inajefty confers the throne of Naples on his imperial highness piiocc Joseph, and his legitimate male issue. It roferves to the prince all the rights affu. ed to him by the constitutions of the empire —dec] tred id ways, that thecrowns of France and Naples (hail never be united on the fame head. This glorious reward of Prince Jo. foph’s icrvicer, and of his condant and pi ous art ichmrnt to the chief of his family, will be to y«M, gentlemen, a fuhjcft of hvdy fansfiftion, which will be increased on Ic uniug tint this elevation of a prince, t!u object of yn-ir veneration and love, will not interfere wiih eny ol his relations to us, and t hat the new king of Naples preser ves with h;s crown, the rule of grand cleftor. . ‘ h ‘f‘l frtwrth decrees.

The other con. ,:r *» w ' t:l knse title, the principaitv of G.uiblla on her imperial highness the prinens Pauline, ar.d on her hatband the prince Borghcfe. The military glory of prince Mur.at, the importance and filcndor of his fucccfs, his public and private virtues, will interdl every Frenchman in the julf rceompence * which they have obtained, and will endear his authority to his new fubjefts. Prince Marat will be charged with the defence of an important part of the frontier of the empire —nor could liis mojefiy confide it to wor thier hands. You have appreciated the mer it of prince Borghcfe, even before your decrees had na. totalized him among us—his conduft in the luff campaign gives him additional claims to you- eftesm, and the public confidence. I 1 5 decree transfers infill foverct'en f tvtomiflhaj If-rthier, the principality of N.ufJutel. Tan alleging proof, of the emperor* Iwncvolcncc to his ancient com panion in arms, to an intrepid and cnliph. fened comparator, cannot fail to intcrcfl the fen ability of ah good hearts, and to furnifh cause of congratu'ation to intelligent minds. t he firth decree operates the re-union of Lucca, Malft Larrar, and Girf.gna. 1 he seventh decree erefts in the Hates of Poi aa, and Placentia three grand titles, of which tne splendor will be supported by conodcrablc arrangements which been made in taefe countries by order of his maief. 3y the effeft of similar reserves contained in the decree* relative to the dates of Venice, tKc klogdorrt cf Naples* and principality of Lucca, his majesty has created reward*) wbidh arc worthy of him, for several of his fubjefti, who have tendered great military fcrvices, and who in the exercise of eminent fundlions, have contributed in a diftinguilh ed manner, to the welfare of the state. The emperor intends that these titles sh all become the property of thole who fhali receive them, and who (hall have the tight of transmitting them to their cldeft male dc feendants, as a monument of imperial muni ficence, and of the just motives by which it has been excited. This great conception, gentlemen, and the Pecondaiy rneafutes which accompany if, will'make known to Europe, the value which he attaches to the brave exploits, that have fccondcd his labors, and to the fidelity of thole, whom he has employed in the di reftion of important affair'. This difpofi tionalfj ptePcnts political advantages, which cannot efcapc your difeernment. The habit, ual fplcndor which surrounds men of eminent dignity, give an authority cf precept and example over the people, which the monarch fumeiimes advantageously substitutes for the authority of public office—-while, on the o ther hand, thole men become the natural ad vocates of the people to the throne ; it is therefore the interest of the (late that, by liability and fplendnr of their conditions, they fhouid be raised above ail vulgar con fidcrations. To these motives, tha legitimacy, of which cannot be camelled,, are fuperadded other advantages easily imagined, and which I believe it fiipeiflaous to analizc. Such, gentlemen, are the profound bads, on which the emperor would eftabliih the great political system, with the conception of which the Divine Providence has inspired him. It is thus affined u ,/icient generation, and in preparing, the grandeur of future ages, that he incelfantly adds to the sentiments of'love, admiration and rcfpcct, which you participate in com. mon with all the French, * LONDON, April 28. On the order of the day being read for fa king his majesty’s mclTige into considera tion. Mr. Secretary Fox laid it was impoflible that the indignation Os this houle Ihould not he excited by every part of this message. The fenfition would be that of gratitude for the forbearance of his majesty to involve this country in war, for any aggrelliona com mitted Hanaver. But the utmost in. donation mull be excited by the aggravation of hoftilitics against the com. merce of this country, and the refpeft due from one crowned head to another. He did r<ot attribute this so much to the king of Prussia psrfonally, but to the bad ccunfcls he listened to. The whole of this origina ted in a convention between Franccand Pruf fi’> concluded at Vienna, on the ijih of December. Theking of Prussia was then ap. pointed a mediator, and had to depend upon as well his own army as that es the emperor of Raffia in Germany, and the promise of liberal fubfidics from this country, if he IhaulJ be driven into war. But instead of relying upon these, he turned upon us, a friendly power, to indemnify himfelf for fiich cellions as France demanded of him, by seizing upon the territories ofhisoldcft and belt friends. This was an inllancc of dfprn vity never to be found in the words petiods of any time, Spain and Holland weie compelled to sur render some of their own polTdlions from terror; but they spared thcmfclVes the bate, nefs and enormity of being compelled by ter. ror to commit Spoliations upon others. I hat lull degradation was refer ved for Pruf. fia alone. At last he takes Hanover as a gift from I ranee by conquell, before the war was terminated—l thing b-fore unknown in the hiftorics of all the perfidies ever com mitted in this world. He was aware that our just refenrmem for this treatment must nor only fill upon neutral, but even on friendly countries; bur there were cases in which thedcareft interests must be facrificed 5 and nothing was more necelfary than that we lhauld make a signal example cf Prussia on .he occasion, in order to support the prin ciples of right and jufticc. It was true that this conntry could do little more than maniteft its resentment by itfelf; but with the assistance of others much may be done, and the king of Prussia take the confctj non ces. * 1 Had only obtained the nominal poffduon of an exaufted country, that may be ufelcfj to tr ; and perhaps even that would not remain, for France seemed ever fsnee to treat it «$ a power with which it was not ne. cellary to ho.d any terms —as mere fubju. gated Haves, The remaining topics of this fprCch would much exceedthe limits of this paper ; and will be fufficient to fay, that he nearly ex hausted every argument to Ihew the fcanda. lons aggrefiions of the king of Prussia. He concluded with moving an address, thanking his mijrftv for his communication, promi, hog him f«p port, and echoing the fentimen ts and ex petitions of the mefl'age. 1 BRIDGE TOWN, (Bar.) April 29. There appears ftreng suspicion that the enemy is forming some project at Gaudaioupe to ai tack some of our illands. Accounts from thence mention that great numbers of troops (miferahle vagabonds) are collefling in and about Baffcterre, and an extensive depot of ammunition and provisions made bou lucre and at Point-»• Pcrrc, BALTIMORE, Ju NE 6 . On Tuefday last came on at the Circuit Court for the county of Burlington, before the chief justice and by a fpccial jury-*—the trial of the adtion of Miss Mary F, Stockton against Thomas Hopkins for Hander—this in teresting cause lasted until 2 o'clock of Fri day—when after retiring for a (hort time, the jury returned a verdift for the plaintiff of live thousand dollars being the full amount •f the damages laid in the plaintiff's decla. ‘ration. To the above it may not be improper to add, that Miss Stockton, the plaintiff, is daughter of lawyer Richard Stcckton, and Mr. Hopkins some time past the keeper of 3 boarding fchaol in and near this city—that • the action was brought tor words uttered by she defendant refpefting the Conduft of the plaintiff while at h?s Ichool. Mr. Hopkins being a man in lowcircura ftarvees, his fen o rice probably amounts to imprisonment for life. FRANKFORT, (Kcr) May 13. Extract of a letter to the Editor , dated at St. Louis , Aptil 25, 1806. ** Dear Sir, ** All the troops except one company march from here in the courfeof fix days for Fort Adams and Nachitoehes.
