The minister of the interior, Mr.Cretet, hav- i ing. the day before yesterday, been introduced ‘ to the legislative body, accompanied by the v councillors of state, Jouberl and Bigot Promen- J can, presented a report on the state oflhe eni- s iiire ; the principal passages of which are as J ollow< “ Fifteen months have elapsed since the dep- J Odes separated, in order to return to their homes, i At that period the emperor seemed to have ap- J proximated the moment when be was to taste t the fruits of his glorious labors. “ The German princes were, for the most part, in alliance with France; Prussia was in the [ number of her friends; differences with Rus sia were terminated by a treaty of peace ; our ‘ tranquility seemed to lie equally secured abioad as at home, and numerous deputations flocked ‘ from all quarters of the empire, to bung the emperor the homage of their admiration and ‘ gratitude ; the heroes of the army had already > arrived, to attend the festivals to be given at ’ Paris, in celebration of our victories; the em peror directed all his attention to the iinernal ‘ affairs of government, when England, uccus-, tamed to seek her own safety in the misfortunes ‘ of other nations, induced Russia to depart t om • her pacific inclinations, so lately confirmed by j a treaty, and precipitated Prussia into a war,, without reason or object, contrary to the judg- J ment of the ministers, and very possible against, the wishes of the king. An army of 130, t>oo ‘ men, eager for the combat, commanded by the , king and bis veteran generals, and formed in 1 the school of the great Frederick, was almost, annihilated in the first battle, and the remains ‘ were melted down in the ranks of the Russian army. “France, calm and tranquil, while the tern wst burst over the distant rcgins where it was formed, saw the career of internal improve ment, commenced during a period of peace, maintained and advanced. The conscription law was carried into effect with more zeal than ever; the taxes were punctually paid; the national guards gave proof of their ardor; the public spirit retained all its purity ; the govern ment was, in the highest degree, satisfied with the conduct of the mayors. “ The gifts and donations to the various chari table foundations, to the year 1806, formed a capital of 2,300,000 francs, and have been fur ther augmented by a fresh act of bounty on the part of hit majesty, with a sum oi 15,600,000 francs. The sufferers by the maritime war have been indemnified by his majesty. “ The government has begun to direct its attention to the means of repressing mendicity. The ahbies of contevrault and the ursulincs of Montpellier are already prepared for the recep tion of the mendicants belonging to the depart ments; ami that of Villars Catteret, which is nearly completed, will be sufficient for those of the capital and the environs. “ Thirteen thousand four hundred miles of road have been repaired and improved. These laho-s have been bestowed on 6127 highways, leading from the capital to all the frontiers of the empire. “ 1 he navigation ol eight principal rivers or streams, among these the Loire and Charent, have been improved. ” Four bridges have been finished during the last recess, or will shortly be finished. The building often ethers is actively going forward ; araerg which arc those of Douatuic and Tours. “ Ten canals, almost all ol them commenc-j cd under the present government, ate worked , at without intermission. Os that of the Ourq, J about thice-fourtlis are completed. The two cuts, from that of Saint Quintin, which unite ‘ the Seine with the Scheldt, and Paris with Hoi- i land, are completed and will be navigable in ] eighteen months. i “ The sea-ports are also restored. Antwerp 1 recovers its ancient celebrity, and will form the i centre of the marine service. For the first 1 time, that part ot the Scheldt has seen upon its I stream, vessels of 74 and 80 guns. Fourteen 1 ships at e on the stocks at Antwerp. ! “ Flushing having been enlarged, is now ca- ‘ pable of containing a squadron. At Dunkiik,! the western jetty has been re-built. At Cher- ‘ burgh, the two tnolcs have been raised ; and the ! battciy, Napoleon, placed in the (sea, de-’ tends the harbor, Ixitli against the waves and 1 the loe. At Rochefort, a scientific apparatus ’ lias been erected, by which vessels of all rates may be taken in or out at any time of tide. ” Agriculture has also constantly occupied ti e attention of government. The national sheep-folds preserve their breeds in the high est purity. The shepherds will be instructed 1 iu the art of managing their flocks. The res toration of the breed of horses is in forwardness. Twelve depots of stallions arc already formed, consisting of 900 of the finest animals. The 1 breeding of black cuttle is placed under regu- ’ lalion in a great number of the departments, 1 and the veterinary schools are in a nourishing’ stale. 1 “ A commercial code is digesting, with the view of combining what is good in the regula tions of the old ordinances with existing cits-, toms, of protecting credit, and preventing the 1 disgrace of bankruptcy. ‘ “ Our cotton-spinning establishments have,’ within the last twenty months, recovered from their inactivity ; and the decree of the 22d of 1 February having re-animated them, they now ! furnish our manufactories with those materials which we procured from abroad. “ It is the desire of the emperor, that the ca pital, become the metropolis of the world, | should correspond with its destination. The 1 bridge ol Auslerlitz is completed; that of Jena |is begun. In the place de Vendomc will be erected the column of the grand army ; in the •place des Victoircs, the monument of Dessaix ; and the statue of Ilaultjxuilt will decorate the ! the place des Vosges. The palace of the legis -1 lative body will be adornned with a collonade; | opposite will lie erected the temple of victory ; 1 and in the mid-way will he reared the sove | reign’s palace ; so that the throne will occupy ■ a central position between justice and glory. 1 The works at St. Genevieve ate going forward ; i those of St. Dennis arc nearly finished. | “ flie tomb of Dessaix is erected on the ■ Alps, between France and Italy, where it de ’ inonstrates to the two countries the honor con -1 ferred by their common deliverer on his com radc and friend, died amidst those vic -1 tories which determined the fate ofboth nations | “ The French school is occupied in repre | tenting,in marble or canvas, the most renown ’ ed events ot the present reign. ; “ The war has retarded the institution of a J general school ; but the emperor will still ac , complish the project. ! “ Several colleges have been established in | The course of the year, to the number of thirty ! five. They contain 18.000 scholars. Os these, ; 3 700 owe their education, in whole, or in part, I tothc national bounty. Twelve school# of ju risprudence are opened, and 12,000 students occupy them at present. 1 “ The labors of the meridian circle of Bar* | celona and of Baleares are renewed, and will be ’ continued this winter. The observatory of the | pantheon is restored, and that of Turin is again * devoted to astronomy. “ The emperor desires that the sciences may have a part in the amazing improvements which have been communicated, like an elec | trie shock, to every thing great and interesting.! He desires that the French language, now be come that of Europe, shall continue to support that noble privilege, by its beauty, its purity, and the interest of its productions. He desires i that the public sentiments shall encourage the ’ developement of talents, and preserve the lat ter against calumny and malignity ; and that in future there shall be no sects among the learn ed ; that theie shall no longer be any political parties in the state ; that learning and morality, , and good taste, shall be in unison ; and that ’ these only shall form the basis of their prospe rity and improvements. He wishes that cri | ticism should maintain respect lot decency, in i order to be useful; and that men who are” call | ed to the sublime office of enlightening and ! improving the community, should despise idle ; flattery. 1 “ The government cannot but be contented with the members of the church in general. 1 The same purity of morals, toleration, and dis \ interestedness and zeal, distinguish all ranks, 1 and evince the devotion of all. “ The Jews who now bear the name of j Frenchmen, in consequence ot the gracious dispositions of his majesty in their favor, have become w orthy of that name. > “ Such is the exposition of the improve | ments, which have been brought to perfection ‘in the interior, since the last sitting. Several J other branches of the government have been > advanced, and are now in a situation the most | advantageous. France, among all the states ot > Europe, is the only one without paper-money. J Its commerce, interrupted by unavoidable cir i cumstances, preserves the hope of renovation | in the seed that remains. The arms of France * have been carried to the farthest extremities of t Europe ; its influence extended beyond the i Bosphorus, and into the centre of the continent J ot Asia ; the most complete order prevails in * our interior; England alone remaining over- J whelmed with the burden of the war. and the > hatred of nations : these are the effects of one | year, and the encouraging prospect of that i which is to follow.” . M. Fontanes answered, “ that the statement | which was laid before the legislative body was , made up from the exploits of a prince who was | a lover ot peace : that is, if the emperor, 500 . miles from his capital, had effected so much | in lavor of his people, and the glory of the arts, , what would lie not have performed in the bo [ som of peace, and in the midst of bis capilal ? i The improvements that have been introduced * into the various branches of the internal govern , ment, prove that the irresistible power, which | overturns empires and establishes thrones, is , still far interior to that wisdom which has es ! tablislied morality ujion the immoveable basis of the law.” > The legislative body ordered the exposition | of the state of the empire to be printed, toge i tber with the speech of the president, and that * six copies of them be distributed to each y member*^ Boston November 11. Yesterday a \es. el arrived at this port, in 27 dnvs from Bordeaux. I‘his vessel brings corroborative accounts of thd surrender of (. openhagen on the 7th Sep tember—and the possession of the Danish fleet by the British. Tire crow n prince, it h, said, refused to ratify the capitulation. It is said also that anew decree has been passed by the French government; the particu lar feature \ of which, have not come to our kr.cv.ledg’ , we arc informed, however, that it amounts to a 3 weeping prohibition of inter course with England. Rumors from Marblehead represent the Re venge, homeward bound, to have been spoken bv ahi iherman, who reports it is said, that lie learnt from her that war was declared by En gland against this country. It was v 1 sterdav current, that by an arrival at New-York, news had been received there that our ministers have completed an amica ble settlement of our dilTcrences with England. Neither of these have much claim to credit —the last is the most probable of the two ; and certainly the most desirable.—Democrat. Norfolk, November 16. Yesterday Captain Tompkins, of the fast sail ing ship Pocahuntas of this port, came up to > town, having left his ship in the bay bound up to Baltimore from Liverpool. Captain T-. left Liverpool on the 4th of October, brought Lon don papers to the Ist of that month, and has favored us with a complete file from the 10th September upwards. We understand from good authority, that on the I4th September, Mr. Monroe delivered a memorial to the British government, demand ing a final answer previous to his departure for the United States, for which he was already prepared, and did expect to depart immedi ately. AtLl>is juncture, the intelligence of the sur render of Copenhagen, the disasters in South America, and the measures of France agulns.. Portugal, with other important affairs, on tint continent of Europe, particularly with Russi; , so pressed upon the British ministers, as to in duce them to solicit Mr. Monroe’s indulgence. Mr. M. accoringly agreed to remain, and we have good reason to believe, that the ultima tum of the British government was delivered 1 on the sth of October, and moreover we under stand, “that no act of hostility will be com mitted by Grcat-Britain, until this ultimatum has been submitted to, and acted upon bv this government.” Os the contents of this ultima tum it would be ridiculous in us to attempt to conjecture, it is easy to infer that all the de mands of our govnrnment have not been acced ed to, but we venture to assert, that the British government have most unequivocally denied any pretension on its part, to search a national ship of the United States.
