it.

This map will be compiled from

Knowing that a considerable
proportion of the expence of such
publications depends on the en
gravings which embellish or form
them, and that the. precise num.
her of such engravings, particu
larly as it regards the second part
of the work, have not yet been
settled: it is difficult for the author
at this moment to fix a price ou
them —he therefore declares to
the public, that his laie voyage
was not taken with a view’ to pe
cuniary advantages, and pledges
himself tfiat the estimate which
the will in this nuances set on his
literary labours,shall be of the most
moderate description; His princi
pal reason indeed for proposing
a subscription at all, is, that he
may be enabled to form some es
iunatc of the number ot copies
to be struck off.

NEW-YORK, May 31.
We have given below an
abflraß from Bonaparte’s—
mellaoeto the Senate ; it shews
the (late of his pulse, which
seems to beat in the mod paci
sic manner. Ruffian doses have
had a wonderful effect in re
ftonng the reason of his Im
perial. Majesty We hope for a
perfect cure.
BONAPARTE’S MESSAGE.
A message of Bonaparte,
dated from Ofterode, the 24th
ult. and laid before the Senate
on the 4th infl. contains irrefra
gable ptoofs of the immense
losses which his armies have
sustained, and of the difficulties
in which he is involved. Be
fore the firft 3 months of 1807
are expired, he finds himfelf
under the necedity of calling
out the conscriptions for the
year 1808. The ostensible mo
tives for this tyrannical & vex
atious proceeding, are deve
loped in his message, -the ad
drels of the arch chancellor,
and the report of Berthier, the
miniderat war. The real caus
es are to be fought in the lod
es of the French army, the in
creasing danger to which it is
exposed, and the determi,
nation, perhaps, of Bonaparte,
to contend for the sovereignty
of the continent on the banks
of the Vistula. It is evident,
that he is apprehensive of feme
unpleasant consequences from
the rigorous execution of this
odious measure. Hence the
extraordinary indulgence with
which the youthful viftims of
his wild and insatiable ambiti
on are to be treated at the out
let. Infteadof immediate ex •
pofure to toiifome and tedious
marches, like the facrifices of
the present year they are to be
fubjetled to no greater hard,
{hip than that of learning the
necessary difeipline in their
own fields and habitations. It
is by luch deceptions and fo
pbiftry, that a veil is endea
voured to be call over the
tyrannical charatfer of a pro
ceeding, which we make no
doubt has created univeUal
conflernation through France,
and druck more terror into its
trembling population, than any
irruption of the Cossacks, of
whole ferocity they have heard
so much, would produce.
Among other reasons for
having rccourfetothe conscrip
tion, we find an extraordinary
levy of two hundred thousand
men in this country mentioned,
alluding, we suppose, to the
persons who are to be called
out and difeiplined under the
training att —We scarcely ex
pected, afier expreding luch
perfett contempt for the volun
teer army of tEis country, Bo
naparte would become alarm
ed by our partial levy en malfe.
What relates to the re.eftab
lifhment of peace is the molt
important part of this message.
Bonaparte, who is become
wonderfully pacific of a sudden
thanks to the valour of the
Ruffians, and the (kill of their
[Whole Num BEft 265.
commander, offers peace to
England and Rudia upon the
conditions which they lately re
jected. It seems he is eves*
disposed“ to restore tranquillity
to the eight millions of people
he has conquered, and to re
place the king of Prudia in hi*
capital.” We suppose there is
fome allusion in this to the
terms lately offered to his Prus
sian Majedy, and which he is
said to have rejefted.
“ Though at prelent (fays
this message) we ask for new
facrifices from our people, in
order that we may obtain a
greater extent of force, it is not
that we should abuse this pow
er forthepurpoleof prolonging
the war. Our policy is inva
riable. W<* offered peace to
England before the fourth co
alition had shewn itfelf; the
fame peace we offer to England
dill. The. principal envoy
which England employed in
thofc negotiations has made the
mod public declarations, and
in the mod unequivocal terms,
that the peace would have been
both honorable andadvantage
ous to England ; thus he has.
made the jultice of our cause
appear evident. We are rea
dv to conclude a peace with
Russia upon the fame conditi
ons as were signed by her ne
gociator, both which were re
jected in consequence of the
arts Sc intrigues^the English.
We are readylW-eflore to the
eight millions of the inhabitant*
whom we have conquered,their
tranquillity, and reltore to the
king cf Prudia his capital.
“ But though so many trait*,
of moderation, already so of
ten renewed, have not beer*
able to prevail over the de
ceptions to which England,
enflamcd as it is by its passions,
has had recourse, that power
cannot fee the poflibility of
peace but in our annihilation ;
nothing, therefore, remains
for us but to bear the calami*
ties of war, and to throw the
shame and odium of it upot*
that nation, which continues*
to purchase its monopoly with
the blood of the continent.-
We (hall, in the resources cf
our own mind, in the courage
devotion, and the power of
our people, find certain means
to render all the efforts of that
coalition, formed of hatred Sc
injultice, null and void, and
to turn them to the disgrace of
their authors. Frenchmen, we
brave all dangeis, for the glory
and tranquillity of our chiL
dren.”
On the 9th inflant, the
prince arch.chancellor repair,
ed to the fcnate, and after the
orators of the council of slate
were introduced, the above*
mentioned ordered their re.
port to be made as follows, by
thefenator, M. Lacepede :
