LEGISLATIVE BODY, DECEMBER 27• At eleven in the morning, the Members of the Le giflative Body, in their ceremonial dreffes, repaired to the Hall of their Sittings. At half part eleven, the Members of the Tribunate, Council of State, and the ,twelve Deputies of the Confervatfve Senate, en tered the Hall and took their places. At twelve, a difcharge of artillery having announced the arrival of the Emperor, the Deputation with the Prefident at its head, fet out to meet his ilajefty. The proceffion shortly entered the hall, whilst martial mufic was heard on every fide. All the Legiflators rote up ; thofe of the Deputation went back to their places ; the Emperor afcended his throne, and all who ac companied him, fat down to the tight and left, in thole places affigned them. All the perfons prefent being feated and covered, Prince Jos gPli, the Grand Elector, quitted the right of the Emperor, advanced towards the balußrade, and allied his Majelly's per miffion to adminitler the oath to the Members of the Legiflative Body. A Qiiellor then called the Legiflators, who foe ceflively pronounced aloud, Itanding—a I (wear nbe• dience to the Conllitutions of the Empire, and fidelity to the Emperor." Th„ appeal terminated, the Emperor role, the Le giflators uncovered themfelves, and his Majefty de livered the following fpecch : " Gentlemen Deputies of the Departments to the Legiflative Body, Gentlemen. Tribunes and Mem bers of my Council of State, I come to preilde at the opening of your Seffion. It is a more awful and more auguft character that I with to imprefs upon your labour.. Princes, Magifttates, Soldiers, Citi zens, we have all in our career but one aim, the inte rest of the country. If this Throne, which PROV t. MKS and the will of the Nation have made me af cend, is dear in my eyes, it is becaufe it alone can defend and preferve the molt facred intcrells of the French people. Without a Itron‘z and paternal Go vernment, France would have to tear the return of the evils which it has (offered. The weaknefs cf the fupreme power is the moll dreadful calamity of na tions ; Soldier, Fiat Conful, I had but one though;; Emperor, I have no other—the profperity of Ft xnce. ('have been happy enough to illußrate it by vidories, to tonfolidate it by treaties, to deliver it from civil difeords, and to prepare it the regeneration of mo rals, of society, and of religion. If death do not fur. prize me in the midß of my. labours. 1 hope to :cave to my polterity a remembrance which may ferve for ever as an example or a reproach to my fucceffors. My Miniller of the Interior will lay open to you the &nation of the Empire: The Orators of my Coun cil of State will prefent to you the different wants of the Legifiation. I have ordered to be laid before you the accounts which my Minitters have rendered me of the adminiftration of their feveral Departments. I am fatisfied with the profperous Rate of our fi nances. Whatever may be the expences, they are co vered by the receipts. However exterlfive have been thepreparationsneceffitatedby the war we are engaged in, I (hall demand of my people no new facrifice. It would have been grateful to me, at fo folertm an epoch, to tee peace reigning throughout the world ; but the political principles of our enemies, their re cent conduct towards Spain, fofficiently make known the difficulty of it. I with not to increafe the terri tory of France, but to maintain the integrity of it.— I Lave not the ambition to exercife in Europe a great er influence, but I will not fink in the influence which I have acquired. • No Rate !hall be incorporated in the Empire ; but I will not facrifice my rights, the ties that attach me to the States which I have creat ed. In decreeing to me the Crown , my people have taken the engagement to make every effort which the circumstances Ihould require, to preferve to them that Mire which is as neceffary to their profperity and to their glory, as it is to mine. I am full of con fidence in the energy of the nation, and in its knti Tea flung iatcrefts are the coaftant objea‘r may solicitude. Gentlemen wits of the Departments to the Lep,iflative Body, Gentlemen Tribunes and Members of my Council of State, your tonduft during the preceding Sellions, the zeal which animates you for the country, for my perfon, are a guarantee to me of the afrifiance which I de mand of you, and which I (hall fi nd in you dining the courfc o f this Seffion." _ _ . This fpecch was liftened to in the moll profound filence. But fcarcely had his Malefly ceafed fpealc ing, when the applaufes and the cries of Long Live the Emperor I" boat forth from all tides, and con tinued even after*the departure of his Majeity. PARIS, Dsc. 30. —In the night of the 33, two Englifh brigs of war millaking the ficeple of Uilfant for a merchant (hip, approached too near, and got aground ; the crew of one of them fucceeded in getting off, after having fet the brig on fire; but the other endeavoured to get afloat, though unfuccefs fully, and her crew, confifling of 48 men, was com pelled to furrender, being fired on by the floating batteries there. She proves to be the Mallard, and carried ten 18-pounders : the has received but little damage, and will be got off, JAN. 2.—The Legiflative Corps have prefented their addrefs, in anfwer to that of his Majelly, upon the opening of the Seffion, in which, as very faithful fubjells, they dwell upon the circtrmflanceof no new fubtidies being wanting, and the Emperor's declara tion, that he does not with to extend the territory of France, but only to maintain its integrity. Trea ties, they fay, 'may be fuperfeded by new mies, and the gr andeur of Empires have a term ; but love and admiration moil follow thofe who have founded fo;iety upon the triple balls of law, morals, and re ligion, which glory, they add, (hall one day, Sire, be yourvs. His Majetty, in anfwering this difcontfe, expreffed himfelf nearly in thefe terms : He laid he coincided with the fentiments of the Legiflative Corps ; and which 'thould ferve them as a guide in their difcul fions and deliberations ,• and that the fame fentiments which had bees expreffed to them at the opening of the prefent Seffion, thould be the conttant rule of his Government. The Addrefs of the Tribunate, and the Emperor's anfwer, is a mere echo to the above. JAN. 3.—The Englilh detained at Verdun, have always been at pertett liberty, even fence the efcape of Sir JAMES CEAUFURD; there ate only eight hun dred and fifty at prefent in that town, fifty of them having been tent to Sarlibre. Notwithflanding their paroles, a number cf them endeavoured to efcape for what reafon we know nor, fince they are all as free, and as fully pretated as 11: inhabitants of the town, all of them being provided with articles of conveni ,ence, and allowed to retain their property which they had at the time of their arreft, even their horfes and carriages. They receive without impediment, by way of Germany, fuch affillance as is fent to them from their own country they enjoy freedom of religious worfhip ; they have even clubs, one of which is en tirely compofed of Irifh. It is thus that a great and noble government anfwers the calumnies of the Eng lifh newfpapers ; it is thus, that it retorts the attacks, made by its enemy, on humanity, and the laws of nations., It is reported, that his Holinefs the POPE, on his return to his States, will go by the way of Ratifbon and Vienna. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Vannes. CADIZ, Dk.C. to.—We have this day received the difagreeable intelligence of the capture, by an Eng lifh (hip of the line off Lagos, of the fhip la Fuente Hermofa, coming from Lima, with 780,000 dollars, of which 140, 030 were for account of the King, :,nd the Tell fur he merchants ; boo cheits of Jefuits' bark, and about &coo fanegas of Guayuquil cocoa. This is a very fevere fors to this city. It is a confe quence refulting from the execution of the molt vio lent and hoftile meafurcs, taken in the midli of peace, and during the courfe of infidipus negocia tions, offered as a decoy , ts our Government. The Neuttra Senora de llneyw Ayres, from Vera Cruz, is alio taken by a (hip of the line, which during the night after the capture, by bad managenient, ran on board and unk her. This moment a rumour is circulated of Port Mahon being taken by the Eng lifh. We do not believe this news, which is by no means authentic, and appears to us improbable.— Our contoiation, amicht fo many mi , fortunes, is, that we think we are entirely delivered from the dreadful contagion which made fuch havoc in our city. Thank GOD, there are no lymptoms of it left, Either on Ihore or among the (camel; in the ports, the roads, Stc. thk:LNIDFR It.—His Catholic Ma;?lly's frigate Amphitrite, difpatchcd from this port on the ,9th ult. was captured in the latitude of Cape Canten ; after a chace of 24 hours, the unfortunately carried away her top malls, and on the sth intl. the was car ried into Gibraltar by an Englifh (hip of the line the Donnegal, of 8o guns, accompanied by a fi igate and a &op of war. • On this occafion, the Englifh difplayed the fame inhumanity, treachery, and ridiculous inrolence, which they feem to have particularly affeeted to wards the Spaniard'. !ince the commencement of the pre(ent war. They had hailed the Amphitrite and were a4tually engaged in convet ration with her Captain, Don fort c HI s; DB Vat& ELLA, concerning; the orders of the Eng bib Admiral relpteling Spanith yards, when the Captain of the Donnegal commenced a fire of mar quetry, of which the Captain of the Amphitrite was one Of the &Et : this officer was uniwzrially efteemed, and his death has taccationed the greateft re This aft of atrocity was followel by a flep not unworthy of officers who appear to confider as ho nourahle and praife worthy, proceedings which any of the civilized nations of Europe would view as fcandalous and infamous. The Captain of the ponnegall, upon his arrival at Gibraltar, which is totally unprovided with pro vifions, requelted of the Captain General of the corps at St. Roch, to fupply ham with refreffiments for his crew ; at the moment when he had commit ted an aft of the greatelt barbarity, when he had of fered the molt horrible outrage to the Spanifh nation he had the effrontery to fuggeft, in his requeft, the hopes bf a fpeedy underflihding between the two Governments. This imprudent proceeding was re jeaed with the indignatiott which it lo naturally tend ed to mite. r, c. 31.—A troop cf tlnder II: command of Guillemot, aid•de-canip to George, have lately raided at the Pcint d'Aquillon, r.ear Am ay. -The Get,dartntrie having pJaued them without delay, Guillemot, and feveral 'thers have been a: retteti; and the remer fret in iron tu Rouen, Jax. I.—The Miniller of Marine, aEting under the authority of the Emperor, 114 s permioed feveral Swedith vettels to fail from the French ports, moßly laden with grain, for the Spanith ports. ANTWERP, JAN. I.—There has been a violent af fray between the Dutch Tailors here, and thole be longing to fome Spann veilels in the port. Before they could be feparatcd three of the combatants were killed. and fevcral wounded. The Dutch had ruif taken the Spaniards for EngllllllllCll. HAMHURGN, DEC. 27.—The Emperor of Italia has ordered a new levy of teu regiments of Uralirn Coficks, to he organited upon the fame footing as thofe of the Don and the Black Sea. This iug mcntation will incrcale the Ruffian army to near 406,578 men. HatrovEn, Dic. 22.—General BERNADOTTI is CX• peZted here in a few days ; a report is prevalent that each French regiment fl;allhave an almoner, one of whom has already been chofen by the troops. At Hameln, a band of eleven robbers have been arrefled near Lauenbourg. rRANCKMAT, Ds,. 28.--Among numerous re ports circulated hem, relative to his 1-lolinefs and the Germanic concordat, there is one, (Laing that he will return to I►aly by way of Germany, and pars fame time at Vienna. Nirtss, Nov. 27.—The official detail is now pub lifhed of an atlionwhichlately toed: place between the Archimedes, of 74 guns, under the command of Don MIC H ancru a, and an Algerine fquadron, cOnfifting of three frigates, three xebecs, and a brigantine. The Ark himedes was efcorting twenty-two merchantmen bound from Manfredonia to Medina. On the 27th of Oaoher, off Cape St. Maria, they came in fight' of that piratical fquadron, formed in three divifions. Don MiC H F OUX, under there circumltances ' order ed the merchantmen to make for Cotrona, while he made preparations for attacking the nearest divifion of the enemy. Little wind then blowing, prevented the Archimedes from approaching, and this afforded the Algerine divifion an opportunity of joining. At length the engagement commenced by a heavy fire on our fide, from the guns, after %hid) followed a volley from the (mall arms. The Algerines, in the mean time, continued to approach, and one of their frigates even attempted to board. After the battle had killed an hour, the pirates wire compelled to {beer off. The Arebimides chafed them the whole night, and part of the fucceeding day, but was unable to come up with them. The enemy's lots mutt have been very confiderable : that of the Archimedes conftfts in two killed and feven wounded, one of , them dangeroufly. CONSTANTINCPLE, NOV. !P.—Ma:that BRUNI. the French Ambaffador, received lately a courier from Faris, with the inflruaions which were Co long expeeted ; whereupon he prefented to the Porte, without delay, an official note, Rating, 4 , that fince the negotiations for the recognition of the Emperor of the French had already lasted for upwards of four months, without producing any fatisfadory 'refult, he deemed it fuperfluous to make any further men tion of the fubjed ; that he bad only to announce that his departure from C aiftantinople was become indifpenfably neceffary, and that it would take place very foon ; that he mull, however, fully acknow ledge the intentions and principles of the Grand Seignior, who bad {hewn, on every occafion, the molt fincere defire to prefers e, and to continue thofe relations of friendfhip which fo happily cuffed be; twixt his predeceffors and France ; but that, at the fame time, the Ottoman Miniftry liflened to foreign infmuations to be influenced by the fame : that he as lorry the Ottoman Porte did not attend :o his re peated reprefentations, and to the overtures made by the French Government ; erpecially at a time when it mutt be her material inter ell to live in per fed amity with a Sovereign who can lend her very powerful 216ft:ince. The Ambaffador adds, that this'condua on the part of the Ottoman Miniftry, in the prefent circumilances, and confidering the rela tive nannettions of the other powers among them felves, mutt be regarded as vet y impolitic ; and that he could not learn, without regret, that the Porte has preferred to accept the humiliating conditions of another Court, rather than to adhere to the propofals made by France, that ancient ally, which has al. ways fhewn fentiments and views fo conformable to tire well being and to the true intere:t of the Empire of the Crefcent." This note produced a great fenfation on the Turkifh Miniltt y. It is thought that the firft tiled thereof will be the removal oFthe Reis Effendi, or Unifier of Foreign Affairs, and it will put an end to the vavering conduit of the Porte, whole obvious: intereft, it is always to remain clo ely united with France. FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. SCHIEDAM, JAN. 4.—The Journals having given various details of the Decree of Nov. 23 laft, of it furpenfion, and its refcinding, it appcu's neceffary to Rate the faFts as they occurred No former had his Majelly the Emperor of the French received notice of this licp of the Batavian Government, than he found it repugnant, lc well to Treaties as to the fit ft rules of military Hierarchy, and to the regard due to his Excellency the General in Chief, and therefore dealanded, through his Am baffador at the H7gue, as a proper fati,faetion, (I, The difmillinn of Meas. 5p0022, Bezier, Byte veld, and Gockings.
