This distribution of the work has been made with a view to the accommodation of every descrip” tion of readers, and is here offer ed to the patronage of the public in such shape, that nil persons wishing to become subscribers, mav accommodate themselves with either of the parts, or the entire work, as it shall be most convenient to themselve?.

For the convenience of subscri bers. these works will be deliver ed at the most respectable com mercial towns, and at the seats of government of the respective states and territories within the union: No advance is required, nor will payment be required un til such delivery is made. 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. Editors of Public Prints in the United States, disposed to aid the publication of tins work, are requested to give the foregoing a tev msTTtions, bheritFs Blank 1 itles For Jaleat this Ojfice. 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 : “ Gentlemen fenaton , “ You have put his majef ty’s message into the hands of your fpectal committee, dated Ofterode, March *4. You have likewise laid before you? committee the projetl of the fenatus confultum, added to
