PARIS, March 22. - “ Sire, The message which your Impe rial and Roval Majesty has ad dressed to the senate, from your imperial camp of Warsaw and the important events which you * ‘ will form anew monument of your paternal solicitude for the happi ness of the French people. “ The dates of the treaties of Posen, which your Imperial and Roval Majesty has caused to bo transmitted to the senate, would be alone sufficient to shew, that af ter the most brilliant victories, your Majesty’s sole object is to obtain an honorable peace for na tions, and of course one capable of inspiring the best hopes of its permanence. “ These treaties, in confirming the independence of a brave and generous nation, whose improve ments, industrv, manners and in terests ought to approximate it to France, augment and consolidate that grand confederation of the Rhine, which the actual state of Furope demanded .and the vast conceptions of your majesty were alone capable of forming, asthd best guarantee of its luture inte rests. The consummate wisdom of your Imperial and Royal Mu jestv has with facility perceived in the dangers of the Ottoman Porte, thce which threaten all Europe. If the Porte were to give way to the efforts of the Russians, what barriers would stop the destructive torrents ot bar barians, with which the Norih & East would inundate the West & South? The footsteps of these Scythian savages would be mark ed with devastation, blood & fire. Are they not still attested by the melancholy ruins they have left in Italy, in Switzerland, in Holland, near the fields of the ever memo rable Austcrlitz, and it! Poland, where so many banks are to be forever rendered illustrious, by the splendid actions of the armies under your Majesty’s comm in J ? Acts, sciences, civilization,would perish, or if the strength ol Euro , peati institutions resisted those invasions perpetually renewed, what would be the fate ol the in dustry of France, and particular ly the southern parts of France. “ The existence of that Indus- I try, so necessary to ij ;i t ■ •Tv of so nun 7 niilian.j Frenchmen, i connected u nhil.B throne of Constantinople. ‘fj!H provinces and seas which h t . , ;c J the Bosphorus, constitute the. tro, towards which naUir ti i, a ß thought proper to direct the merce of tiiy world.
