The whole inclosure resounded with crin of Five la Nation ! rno ? Barporer 1 The Prince Arch•Chaneellor then declared the ac ceptance of the additional Act to the Constitutions of the Empire, by the voters, almost unanimously. 'lle Dumber of negative votes was 4206. The Herald at Arms then proclaimed this accep; tames amid new acclamations. Prince Joseph next gave the pen to the Emperor, who signed the addi tional act and the promulgation of the Constitution. The table having been removed from before him, the Emperor, sitting on his Throne, and with his hat , la his head, spoke as follows : a Gentlemen, Electors of the Colleges of the De partments, and the Asirondissements, ' " Gentlemen, Deputies from the Troops by Sea . and Land, to the Champ de Mai, IS As Emperor. as Consul, and as a Soldier 1 I owe every thing to the people. In prosperity, in sa t varsity, in the field of battle, in the Council, on the Throne, and in Exile, France has been the only and constant object of my thoughts and my actions.

" My thoughts then entirely dwelt npon the means of founding our liberty by a Constitution confo' m able to the will and interests of the people. I con voked this Champ de Mai. 66 I soon learned, that • Princes, who have trampled on ail principles, harrowed up the feelings and the dearest interests of so many people, wish to make i war upon us. MAI meditate upon increasing the Kingdoth of dee Low Countries, and to give it far barriers all our trustier places of the North, and to reconcile the differences which still divide them by partitioning Lorraine 4pd Alsace. 44 We must all prepare for war. Nevertheless r before rtsnning personally the risk of bottles. lily first solicitude has been to constitute. without debri s the nation. The people hue accepted the Act which I presented to them. 44 Frenchmen—when we shall have repelled these unjust aggressions, and when Europe shall be con vinced of what she owes to the rights and the inde. pen 'ence of twenty-eight millions of Frenchmen, a solemn law, made in the forms required by the Con. stitutional Act, will unite all the different arrange. mesas of our Constitution, which are now scattered. gg Frenchmen—Go back to• your departments. Tell the citizens that the circumstances are grand ! ! Tell them that by union, by energy, and by perseve rance, we shall come victorious out of this struggle of a great people against their oppressors ; that future generations will severely scrutinize our conduct, and a nation has lost every thing when it has lost its indepen dence. Tell them that the Kings of foreign nations, whom t have raised to their Thrones, or who owe to me the preservation of their Crowns ; and all of whom in the time of my prosperity, courted my al liance and the protection of the French people, now direct all their blown Against my person.— If I was not certain that it was against the coun try itself that they are in arms, I would throw at their mercy that existence against which they shew them selves so enraged. But tell the citizens also, that so long as the French shall retain towards me the sentiments of love of which they hate given me so Thany pr 4014 the rage of our enemies shall be im potent. Frenchmen—My will is that of the people; my rights am shsisoa; my honour. uty glory, ray happi ness, can be nothing but the honour, the glory, and the happiness of France." [The Sacrament was then administered to BONA ?Aura, by the Archbishop of BOURG= on his knees; and after this scene of blasphemy. BONAPARTZ swore to observe the' Cidutitutions of the Empire. •The whole audienca then shouted;“ Ws swami AL50."...-. BONAPARTE then put off the.lmperial osantlt, and appeared en militaire, when he delivered Eagles to the National Guards and to the Imperial Guards, with short speeches. The ceremony closed with a review of 50,000 men.] By an Imperial Decree, the Chamber of Peers and Deputies was convoked for Saturday last. THE EVENING STAR. - LONDON. TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1815.

The importarit successes which have attended the Austrian and British arms in Italy, were last night communicated officially to the public is the Qusette Rsdrasegfitsary given in the preceding columns. The details are so full as to require no amplification from private sources of intelligen ce . The reign of Joacutss may be considered as at an end ; but the most im portant point, is the acknowledged good spirit mani fested by the inhabitants, who seem to have been heartily tired of the usurpation. It seems quite un certain what has come of MURaT himself; but no wonder the Allies should not have born able to find him, if, as stated in the Paris papers, he has fled to France. The abate important and happy events were yesterday afternoon proclaimed to the Public by a general discharge ut the Park and Tower guns. Last night we received Frankfort Papers of the 29th, and Brussels of the 2d instant. We have given a few extracts. They are chiefly occupied with the marches and reviews of troops, and with accounts from Italy, now rendered uninteresting 'by the receipt of later intelligence. This morning we received the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday. The busineu of the Champ de Mai is ended. To give gravity to the farce, they contrived to muster 4206 dissentient voices out of a population of 26 millions. We have translated the Speeches made upon this occasion. The grand total of votes for the Additional Act is But k anon sot well of the lateral, Feeling on this marina to find their Fends falling The 5 ptv Cents. with the Dividend are at 55. The opening of the Chambers of Peers and Repre sentatives w fixed for Sunday lasts Perhaps the most important intelligence k these papers is the intended dep attire of llompanta for the army, which was fixed for this day. Madame MCRAT and her children have arrived at Compiegne ; and the Gazette de France of Saturday, speaking of her linsharo JoActitst, says " he arrived yesterday at Parls.",it is hardly possible they can be mistaken. Fresh insurrections have broken out in Morbihan and other places. Those in La Vendee are said to have been suppressed. Letters received this mnrning from Guernsey, bring an account that there has been several severe engagements on the coast opposite, in La Manche, between the Royalists and the Gens d'armes, in which the latter were entirely defeated, and dis armed, and should not fresh troops arrive, without delay, no doUbt was entertained that the whole of that Coast would soon be completely in the hands of the Royalists. THE 4R Air. The review of British cavalry. by the Duke of WILLINGITON on Monday se'nnight, at Gramont, was one of the finest sights possibly to. be imagined. Seven thousand British cavalry, drawn np on a large ''plain near Gramont, probably of the best appointed and finest troops in the world, could not fail to im press the beholder with admiration. The Earl of Ux- Baum commanded; and the vast concourse of spec tators on the field was beyond calculation. The Duke , of Wawsurrow was accompanied the whole.time by Marshal &main. An immense number of military and otheh from Brussels, Tournay, and Ghent, were present on this occasion, and testified their admira tion. The issue of warlike :tom from the Ordnance De partment has been immense; not fewer than twenty millions of ball cartridges have been sent to the Ne therlands. Since the arrival of the 15th Hussars in Belgium, thete is some talk there of two Brigades of Hussars being formed ; it sn, the 7th and 15th go together, and the 10th and 18th will be brigaded under Major- General VIVIAN.

The 2d, or queen's Dragoons, commanded by Colonel KEARNEY. were reviewed on Portobello Sailds, near Edinburgh, on Friday last, by General Mailman, previous to their embarking fur the Continent. Two important Court Marti are to be holden shortly. One for the invest of the conduct of Sir G. PREVOST, late Goy of Canada, the other upon Lieutenant Colonellaullerre, who commanded the 44th Foot in the late difortunate attack on the American entrenched cairip at New Orleans. His Majesty's ships DIOMEDE and BUCIPHALUS, troop ships, and the Earl Moira transport, arrived at Deal on Sunday, with a detachment of 500 of the lst. Battalion of the Royal Fusileers, and the 43d Regiment, from America; alio three companies of he Royal Artillery, from the same destination. rrlie Posileers remain in Barracks at Deal. The Artillery are gone into Sandown Castle to refresh themselves for a few days. previous to their embarking to join die Doke of.WELLINGToN's army in the Netherlands. The 43d have proceeded on to Dover, and the 95th for Shorne Cliffe.Barracks, in order to make room for Others that are daily expected. RAMHIATE, Juan s.—Arrived from the River two Gravesend boats laden with Government stores, for the use of the army under the Dokeof WELLINGTON, which have been landed and conveyed to the Depot established at this port.. A great number of con tract horses are shipping today for the use of the army in Flanders, principally of die draught kind. Arrived at the Albion Hotel, on their way to Ostend, Lord GEORGE Loma, of the 9th Light Dragoons, Major RAM AY, Royal Artillery, and several other Officers of distinction. The Duke of Yong transacted military business with the Patna REGOIT yestesday. - . The PRUNUS RRGENT bas presented Mr. WALTER SCOTT with a gold snuff-box, as a gracious token of respect Ens his superior talents. The 23d of the present month is mestioned as the day on which Parliament will probably adjourn. If we are rightly informed, the CHANCELLon of the EXCHEQUU has given up the proposed Tax upon Newspaprrs,being convinced, by a proper examination of the subject, that it would not only be unproductive as a matter of Revenue but injurious to knowledge, to morals,, and to the constitution of the country.— We regret to state that the very contemplation of the measure had so alarmed some of the Country Proprietors, 'that one of them, the Proprietor of the Nottingham Review, has already announced his inten tion to discontinue his publication. We hope that such as intended to act in a similar manner will at least suspend the execution till it be ascertained to be inevitable. Mr. Karats.' is 10 much recovered that nothing re mains of his late very,severe illocbs but the weakness and languor that must naturally result from it.

We could not well ascertain tl , e immediate cause, but it seems to have commenced in a kitchen underneath the Hall, as it was first per ceived bursting out under the door. The Ninduws and doors of several houses adjoining were broken by the watchmen and others before any of the inhabi tants awoke to perceive their danger. The door of that part from which the fire was perceived was burst open by a gentlem•ln who happened to be present ; but in consequence of the v►olence of the flames, it could not then be entered. Several engines went soon collected, and its progress was checked t• though from the considerable time it burned before it was discovered, we fear that verOttle of what vr4IS on the premises has been saved. On the most strict in. quiry we could not learn that any lives were lost. II
