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.

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

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.
