Paris papers to the l\th April, re.& temed by the Sophia, capt. Hand, from Havre.de-Grace, arrived at Nevt-Tork, PARIS, April 18. Yffterday the firft consul ratified the efinittve treaty of peace between the Re ublic and his Britannic Majesty. The efpeftive ratifications were exchanged bis day (Sunday) at 9 o'clock in the Homing, A Senatus-Cbnfulte has been iflued in Dnfcquence of a message from government, J the Conservatory Senate, which pro- an Amnesty to the greatest part u of the emigrants. It is added that the number of those remaining on the lift is only from one thousand to twelve hundred. This morning, at 6 o’clock, conform ably to public notice, a difeharge of sixty guns, announced the promulgation of the Law on Worship—Aster the distribution ot colours, by the firft confal, to feverai battalions, the procession began to move from the palace of the Thuilleries. It was aimoft noon before the carriage of the firft consul, in which were two othercon fnls, could get out of the palace yard. Every whore on his passage the firft con sul received the congratulations of an im mense croud of people in all directions. On his return from Notre Dame, the fame teftimor.les of public acknowledge ment accompanied him to the palace of the Thuilleries, It is a great length of time since Paris oftfered a fpeftacle altoge ther foimpofingand majestic as that which its inhabitants have this day witnessed, PROCLAMATION. The Consuls of the Republic to the French, Frenchmen, From the bofomof a revolution, infpir. ed by a love of the country, religious dis sensions sprung up amongst you, which became the scourge of your families, the fuel of factions, and the hope of your e nemies. An inconsiderate policy attempted to smother them under the ruins ot religion itfelf. At its voice ceased the pious lb lemnities where citizens afed to call each other by the tender name of brother, and acknowledged themselves all equals under the hand ot the God that made them; the dying, abandoned to his fufferings, heard no more that confiding voice which calls chriftians to a better life ; and Goo him fclf Teemed exiled from nature. But the public conscience and the sen timent of the independence of opinions, rose up in arms, and encouraged by our exterior enemies, their explosion soon spread devastation in our departments, some Frenchmen forgot they were French men, and became the instruments of a fo reign hatred. On the other hand, paflion let loose, un protected moials, unhappiness without a hope in Hie future, all combined to throw fociety into disorder. To stop that disorder it became neces sary again to set religion on its basis; and this could not be accompliflied otherwise than by measures avowed by religion it felf. Reason, and the example of past ages recommended having recourse to the lb vereign pontiff, in order to unite hearts, and reconcile opinions. The head of the Church has weighed in his wildom, and for the intcreft of the Church, the propositions which the inie reft of the State had didated. His voice has been heard by the ministers of religi on : What he approves of the government agrees toil: and the Legiflaturehave made it a law of the republic. In this manner every element of dis cord disappears; and all scruples which can alarm the conscience, and ail the ob stacles which malevolence could oppose to the return of internal peace, have va mihed. Ministers of a religious peace, let the molt profound oblivion cover your diffen tions, your misfortunes and your faults! Let that religion which unites you, at tach you all by the fame ties, by indisso luble ties, to the interests of the country ! Display for her all the strength and influence your ministry give you over the mind ; let your lessons and examples in culcate in our young citizens the love of our inftttutions, refpedl and attachment for the tutelary authorities which have been created to protect them. Let them learn from you that the God of peace is also the God of the armies, and that He fights for those who defend the indepen. dence and the liberty of France. Citizens who profefs the proreftant re ligion, the law has equally extended to you its solicitude. Let that morality which is common to all chriflians, that holy, pure and fraternal morality, unite all in the fame love for the country, in the fame refpeft for its laws, in the fame affection for all the members of the Great Family. Let no ftrugglcs of independence ever alter those sentiments which religion in spires and commands. Frenchmen ! Let us all be united for the happiness of the country and of hu manity. Let this religion which has ci vilized Europe, become again the bond of union to draw cloler the affeftion of its inhabitants, and let the virtues it requires be always aflbeiated with the knowledge with which it enlightens us. (Signed) BUONAPARTE, The First Consul, A gentleman who came paflenget in the (hip Sophia from Havre, informs, that the Chief Consul had added 10,000 men to his body-guard, and that he had solemn ly restored the ancient ecdcfiaftical re gime j that the French decade had been aboliihed, and the observation of the Sab. bath rc-eftablifhed ; that the Chief Con sul, on the 25th ult. received the Sacra, ment in the church of Notre Dame, in the presence of all the constituted autho rities, and a most brilliant croud of fpcc tators. Extrafts have lately been given in the papers, from Gobbet’s project of a French expedition to Canada byway of New- Orleans. The principal features of this projeft are, that Buonaparte is fraterniz ing with some Illinois Indian chiefs at Paris, who are to give every assistance to a French force to be landed at New-Or leans, in penetrating through the coun try to Detroit, where they are to esta blish themfelvcs, and, in defiance of all oppofttion, seize on the fur trade, and command the Weftern waters. At firft view, every reflecting man must be (truck with the absurdity of this project: for it menaces immediate hostility against the United States, under such circumflances as to league them in common defence with England. But on taking up the fubjeft in connection with Gobbet’s hostility to the American government, it appears only an attempt to imp refs on the minds of the English people a belief that the French will meet no opposition from this country in approaching the firitifh fettlc ments in Upper Canada, and to fallen his friends on this fide of the water in the opinion that the present administrati on would be disposed to palliate any in vasions of our territory by the French. We confider the whole as resting on the veracity of Gobbet, and unsupported by any other documents than those rumours which have for a long time.circulated of a French settlement in Louisiana, the ac curacy of which time alone can deter mine.
