REPORT PRESENTED TO THE CONSULS OF THE RE PUILIC BY THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. DATSD PARIS, DIC. 4, 'Rot. After a general introduCtion upon the French laws, and fume particular obfervatiuns upon the Commercial Code, Citizen CH•PTAL proceeds to fay : "The Revolution, by defirry:ng or perverting all political intlitutions, completely diforganized cum• merce. From the t Bth Brumaire ( Nov. 9) alone,and theglorious eventsvrhich followedit,coild any hopes be entertained of its revival! The pieture, of which I have given you the outlines, has been fully confidered by the Commiffioners for draw ing up the Civil Code. They have left to the Ci mrif Legillation all that belongs to it. They have confined the laws of commerce to the points in which the civil law appeared to them to be infuf ficient, and to tbofe which, from their very nature, and from the necerfities of commerce, require to be fpecially regulated. The jurifsfi3ion of the commercial tribunals Ihall be afcertained in a man ner to prevent all doubts and controverfies. The (reedy, but revere modes of proceeding will afford a Lifeguard againft all that is arbitrary and unjuft. Judges, in the firft inflance, chofen by the mer chants, and Judges of ,Appeal chofcn from among merchants, will give to thefe fpecial tribunals all the advantage which the adminiftration of the law receives from an affemblage ofprallical knowledge. A Public Funclionary in every Tribunal will fee to the maintenance of order, and will undertake the defence of thole who, from being abfent or illiterate, might otherwife Coffer from inefficiency. There will prevail all over the French territory a falutary uniformity in the framing of deeds, in the contraCting of partneilhips, and in the refpon fibility of agents, fo that the certainty of the rights and duties of the merchant will offer to all foreign nations the greateft fafety in their dealings with France.

Health and refped, (Signed) CHAPTAL." .'LEGISLATIVE BODY, DEC. 7. The Order of the Day, calling for the dircuilion of the Treaty of Peace concluded with the King of the Two SICIL4E3 being read, Tsnuvs pro pofed its adoption on the part of the Tribunate, and took the opportunity of acquainting the Le giflative Body with the death of Citizen Dolo. wbo had been fo long imprifoned at Naples. He expatiated with great feeling on the irrepa rable lora fuflaimed by natural philofophy in the death of that diftinguithed charaCter. ' The Treaty 'was then agreed to with only three diffentient votes. TRIBUNATE, DEC. 6. The Projet of a Law relative to the Treaty of Peace with Naples, paed in the affirmative, by a majority of 77 to 1. he Prefident then called the attention of the Tribunate to the Treaty concluded with the Em peror of Russia. Cosraz, the Reporter on the Treaty, having af tended the Tribune, entered into a review of the date of Europe under the former Government of France. and particularly during the period of the Negotiation at Lille. Every thing then prornifed an honourable and lading Peace, but that Go vernment was incapable of turning the profperons date of its affairs to any folid advantage. It loft its time in difenffing frivolous points and idle mi nutiz, when it ihould have been employed in ac celerating a Definitive Arrangement. The mea fures of the Cabinet of London were then direccted by intemperate men, who have lately declared to the Parliament of Great Britain, that general pa- Ofication was to them the filbjeet of defpair. Thefe Minillers were at fink difmayed at tieing their country engaged in war, unfupported by any other Power, with the Republic ; but their terror did notlaft long. They loon perceived that nor Cabi net aced without fyftcm, and was deftitute of talents to feize the favourable moment. Here the Reporter entered at length into the means taken by Great Britain to induce the Emperor Pant. to take an aCtive part again!" the Republic, and into the meafures adopted by the prefent Go vernment of France, after the battle of Marengo, to conciliate that Prince. The battle of Copen hagen was on the point of being expiated by a vigorous and formidable league, when PAL/ Lthe Firth died. That event preferved England from the greaten perils to which the had been ever ex p,aed. Having brought his obfervations down as low as the prefent date of connexion between France and ltuffia, he contended that the only article of the Treaty which called for the invefti gation of the Tribunate was the 3d :wide, which appeared to belong to accidental circum [lane, • foreign to the permanent interefls of the two Powers. That article had excited particular al:_ntion by the ufe of the term fatjecY, which did not coincide with the idea they had of the dignity of French Citizen. Some perfons were of opinion that the ufe of the word could be juflified by the authorin ) , of Publicifts, who had confide:A the fame man in a democratical date, I°ll-x6:nes as a fovereign, fometimes as a fubjea. ,The Diftionary of the Academy had been con fulz al, which admitted the ufe of the expreffion for fei . ,ieti of a Reindlie, as regularly as the fubjea of a Alonareby. The Commiffion, however, of which he was the reporter, did not admit either of thefe authorities to be kill, or to warrant the ufe of the word fubjeCts as applied to French Citizens, and they were perfeelly convinced that the fentiments of Government were in unifon with their own. The fa& was, that the French Emigrants alone were defignsted in the 3d article, and to them only did the qualification of fubjeas apply. With re fpeCt to French citizens, they were not named in the article, and could have no concern in its letter or fpirit. The French citizens had been formally named in all the Treaties concluded by the Re- public upon every occafion in which they were to be affeCted, or to be colored any advantage. Had they been deligned in the article, the negociators would not have failed to give to them their proper appellation • but French citizens were not the ob jeCt of their thoughts, when they agreed upon the 3d Article. The Reporter concluded by propofing the una nimous adoption of the Treaty. His fpccch was ordered to be printed, and the ibunate adjourned. SITTING OF DEC. 7. Several Members required that the firft projed of die Civil Code lhould be taken into conlidera ticn ; others called for the difcuftion oldie Treaty of Peace with Rollia. Pauvim tars oliferved that all the Mem bers rif the Tribunate ditapproved of the term fajta, which was ufed in the Treaty with the I'.mf•:ror of Ruffia, fo far as it was applicable to !•iench cititens. Brit the explanation given the d::s• before by the Reporter from the Committee, removed all d. , tibts upon that point, and corn plctly a number of his colleagues. It vas neceffiry, however, to give greater effeid to th it expla.fation ; and as the unnolt delicacy was rciptifite in an atf it of luch importance, he would propofe a fpecial conference among the Tribunes. He was aware of the objedion, that the Conflitit ti,tn had regulated other cafes in which their de- Should be f cret, and that loch cafes %vex.: confined to slifentrions upon Treaties of Peace, at the exprefs requell of the Government. But In. propofal did tot tend to Secret delibera tion, but merely to a familiar communication of le:Ain:cuts upon the fubjed under conffileration. which might afterwards be difeulfed in 4 public 1 /msimer.--This prorigiop was adopted. PROM THE PARTS PAPER& NAPLES, Nov. so.—A few days ago an Engln brig, difpatched by Lord KEITH from Malta, ar. rived here to afcertain whether in confequence of the figning of Preliminaries of Peace, the (hips of Great Britain might reely (enter the Ports of the Two Sicilies. An anfwer in the affirmative was returned by the French Ambafrador. Lord KEITH had not, on the departure of the brig, received official intelligence of the termination of hollilities. He had, however, brought with him to Malta mofigif the troops employed in the expedition to Egypt.

Rarisaoti, Nov: as.—The general opinion at I prdent is, that the negociations of Amiens and the labours of the deputation of the Empire, will have a very intimate conneEtion. We are po fitively allured that the refult oLthe deliberations at the Congrefs will be fent hither in fiteceffion by extraordinary couriers, in order ti.,t the members of the deputation may decide accordingly.
