PROCEIDINGS OS THE CONSOLTA EXTRAORDINARY Of THE CISALPINS 111SPUBLIC AT LYONS. The Moniteur of the 3111 tilt. contains a very long detail under the title of Prete: Verbal of the proceedings of the Confulta of the Cifalpine Republic now airembled at Lyons." It begins by Rating that the .Cifalpine Republic, defirous of obtaining a definitive organization, made appli cation for this purpofe to the FIRST CONSUL, and requefted from the band who had founded it in the year 6, and reflored it two years after, that fupport which it had need of in order to. conili• cute itfelf into a body politic. The FIRST Coxsus., in confequence of the with exprefred to him, was anxious to obtain all the information which the Cifalpines themfelves might have concerning the interefts of their country ; and to fecond the benevolent views of the nest CONSUL, as well as to give him the defired information, an extraordinary Confulta of 450 Members, chofen from the moft refpetlable Citizens of the Cifalpine Republic, was convoked by its Government.— Lyons was fixed upon as the place of fitting, as being the molt convenient for that Republic, as well as the FIRST CONSUL, and being diftinguithed by its numerous relations with the Northern parts of Italy. The Minifter of Foreign Relations repaired to, Lyons on the 7th of Nivofe, (Dec. 28.) and C. MARS SCA L C NI, Deputy of the Cifalpine Republic to the French Government, becoming in that qua lity the natural medium of the communications between the Minifter and the Cifalpine Notables, prefented to him, in fucceflion, thofe of the Mi lanefe, of the three Ecclefiallical legations of the countries detached fr om the State of Venice, of the ci•devant Modenefe, the Novarefe, and the Valteline. Thefe partial conferences were attended with the advantage of efiablifhing a more intimate re lation between the Minifter and the Notables of each of the territorial divifions of the Cifalpine Republic. A Committee of Thirty Members was charged by the Confulta, united for the firft time in a Ge neral Affembly, to form double Lifts of Candi dates to fill the different places, in order that they might indicate to the FIRST Consut. thofe men recommended to them by the public opinion. The Committee, after being employed on this bufinefs entrufted to it, delivered in to the General Atlembly a report, which concludes in the follow ing manner : ai It was therefore to place the dignity of the Government beyond the influence of foreign troops, and to add new fplendour and dignity to the commencement of tbe Cifalpine, that the Commif fion thought it elkntial to the happinefs of this Republic, that during the firft moments, it fhould have a fupport that might raife it above every other in ftrength and elevation. " From motives of fuch importance, the Com mitfion thought it their duty to conclude, that if, on the one hand, the Extraordinary Confulta ought to form a with that the Conflitution should be proclaimed, and that the Colleges, the Legifia tine, and other Authorities fhould - be immediately chofen froM the men they have thought molt worthy of their afteern, in order that an end may be at length put to the Provifional Government, it ought ardently to defire, on the other, that Ge neral BONAPARTE will honour the Cifalpine, by retaining the Supreme Magiftracy ; and, not dif daining,amidft the direelion of the affairs of France, to be the Diredlor of our Government, during fych time as hefhall think neceffary to bring to perfell uniformity the different parts of our country, and to make the Cifalpine Republic be acknowledged by all the powers of Europe." The with of the Committee became the unani- mous opinion of the extraordinary Confulta in their general Affembly on the sth of Pluviofe, (Jan. 35th.) It decreed by acclatnation,.and amidft the loudett applaufes, that the report of the Com mince which it had heard should be prefented to the FIRST Coming., as the faithful exprelfion of the fentiments and opinions of the extraordinary Confulta. The refult of this deliberation having been pre rented to the Ft LSI' CONS L,he declared, that from all the information he had been able to collea, the Rate of things required a fpeedy organization ; that he could entruft the interior part , without en dangering the interells and bappinefs of the Re public, to thole Citizens whom the public opinion had pointed out as bet fitted for the different con funetions: but that at the fame time the powerful motives expreifed in the report uniting to prove, that in the prefent fituation of the Cita'. pine, it would be almoft impoifible for it to rife by its own proper means to that degree of confif tence and force to which it is called among the Powers of Europe, he would not diffemble the imperious neceffity of retaining the fupreme di reEtion of affairs till the Cifalptne (hould find itfelf in a condition to fupport by itfelf its independence. He announced that the next day ( Jan. 26.1 'he wonldrepair :othe ExtraordinaryConfulta, formed into a General Affembly. to proclaim the confti tution, and choofe the Members 'defined to enter into the fbrmation of the conftituted authorities. At two o'clock the FIRST CONSUL repaired to the fitting, accompanied by the Minifteri of the interior and of foreign relations, Citizens PETIRT, CRS TIIT, NAJAC, and BOURRIENNI, Counfcllors of State, the Generals and Prefefts affembled at Lyons, and the principal Authorities of that Cnm mune. • The FIRST CONSUL, after being met by a nu merous deputation of Cifalpines, was received• in in the Hall amidft the greateft applaufes. He placed himfelf on an eftrade,and delivered the fol lowing fpeech The Cifalpine Republic, acknowledged fence the Treaty of Campo Formic, has already expe rienced many viciffitudes. The firft efforts made to ellablith it were attended with bad fuccefs. In vaded afterwards by the armies of the enemy, its exillence appeared no longer probable, when the French people expelled, for the fecond time by the force of arms, the enemy from your tenitory:-- Since •that time every attempt has been made to difinember you. The protation of France prevailed—yon were acknowledged at Lunevilk. —lncreafed by a fifth part, you exill more powerful, more confolidated,' and with greater hopes ! Compofed of fix cliff:sant nations, you are going to be united under the Government, of a Conilitution better adapted than any other to your manners and lunation. 1 have alrem bled you at Lyons, arnundttie, as the principal Citizens of the Cifalpine. You have iven me I every information neceflary for ful fi lling t'he auguti talk impofed on me by my duty as Full Magiltrate of the French People, and as the man who has I molt contributed to your creation. The choic.e. I have made for filling up your Full Magif tracies has been uninfluenced by every idea of party and fpirit of locality. In regard to that of the Prefident, I have not found any one among you who has lufficient right in the public opinion, who is fufficiently independent of the fpirit of locality, or who has render ed fufficient fervices to his country, to be able to entrua it to him. The proces verbal which you have tranfmitted to me, by your Committee of Thirty, in which are analyfed, with as much truth as precifion, the external and internal circunsitances in which your country now is, have filled me with the livelieft fenfations.—l adhere to your with.— I shall Hill retain, as long as circumftances may require, the fupreme dire'lion of your affairs.— In the midit of the continual meditations which the poll in which I On placed require, every thing that relates to you, or that .can confolidate your exiftEnce and your profperity, will not be foreign to the deareft affections of my foul.—As yet you hake only particular laws, in future you mull have general laws.—Your people have only local habits, they mull airtime national habits—ln the laft place you have no armies; the powers which may become your enemies have powerful ones; but you have what may produce them, a numerous population, fertile fields, and the es-, ample which has been given under every cicada circumftancc, by the firft people in Europe." The fpeech of the Fiasr Cousui, interrupted by loud applaufes, was followed by reading the Conflitution. At the moment when the title was read, a general movement of the Affembly indi cated the with •of fubftituting for the name of the Cifalpine Republic that of the Italian Republic, and the Ftasr Consul. feemed to acquiefce in this general defire.

I !hall now inform you how they are manased. The Grand Theatre, called Theatre Francais de la Re publique, belongs to the principal Performers; after their falary is allowed them, they there the profits. The French Government has ever fence the revolution given the Concern annually too,ooo livres Tourno is. The Grand Opera belongs to the Government, that is to fay, the houfe ; but, although the houfe is filled the very infant the doors open, they could not tuba if not fupported by Government, who allows them 600,000 livres Tournois annually. The reafon is. • that the ex pences are fo very great. To the French Comic Opera the Government alto pay so,ooo livres per annum. The Italian Comic Opera has made an agreement with Government, that no other Italian fingers are allowed here ; for this they pay very handfomely. All the rell are on their own bot tom, except paying to Government for their li cence. In fad, there is not a place of any kind of public amufement in Paris, even the brothels and gambling-houfes, which is not under the cog nizance of the police, and pay all a tax for their licences. Dramatic Authorfhip is paid in rather a fingu- lar manner. In the principal Theatres the Author; are allowed one-feventh of the profits every night ad infinities. that the piece is played. This is a (mall annuity to the Author's pofterity. The Minifter of the Interior is the Cenfor of the Rage, and it is rather singular that the perfpn in that department (which is called La DivAn Parr let Beaux Arts) is the brother of a celebrated Au thor; and has, within fix months, been obliged to rejeft two of his pieces, not on account of their poli tical tendency, but on account of obfcene language. Bookfellers labour here under no very great dif ficulty, with regard to their publifhing operations. If a book is difapproved of by the Government, the Minifter of Police defires the bookfellcr not to fell them • but if he continues, notwithftanding the ' notice and which is very often done, the Guards of the Police enter the honfe and feize the objec tionable books. This is the whole of the procefs employed againft libels or books that are obnox ious to Government. The fale of Newfpapers is uncommonly eaten. five and profitable...

An Account of the diftribution of the fum voted laft year for the extraordinaries of the army was laid on the table by Mr. Steele;and on the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, ordered to he printed for the ufe of the Members of the Houfe. The CHANCELLOR of the Excasny Es intimated, that though he had given notice on the last meet ing that he Ihould to-morrow move for the addi tional expences of laft year on the extraordinary fervices of the army, on the idea that the accounts could not be made up in time; yet, as he now found that thole accounts were completed, he Ihould al ter the complexion of his motion. On Friday next, therefore, he propoted to move,that a turn be voted to cover the charge of the excels of the Army Ex. traordinaries for laft year. Mr. Rosso's rote to complain that the papers ordered to be printed were not prepared in time for the perufal of the Members. The SPEAKER fuggefled that this converfotion was irregular, as the Honourable Member would • have an opportunity of urging his objedions and arguments in the Committee when the fulajed was , brought under a full difcuffion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEIVER obferired , that the papers in queftion would be prepared for the ufe of Members on Thurfday morning.

Mr. CANNING rote to call the attention, of ant Houfe to the notice of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to lay before diem, at an early period after the reeds, a motion refpeding the incum brances on the Civil Lift, and the means of imolt effectually removing thefe incumbrances, not merely at prefent, but to prevent their recurrence at any future period. In alluding to the means df effeding thee objeds the Right Honourable Gentleman tiltd mentioned the fale of the property of the Crown in the Weft India Iflands as a molt important fource from whence thefe incumbrances would be removed. As to the (Ned to which the money ariling from fuch tales would be applied, there was, he was convinced, no difference of opi. nibs in the Monte ; and lure he was that, for him. felt, he was at no lots fincerely and fully to declare his opinion, which was, that it would experience no oppofition. He had no difficulty in profeffing that he confidered it to be at once a wife, a jut, and an expedient application of the public money; - and whenever the motion was brought forward it Ihould experience his mat cordial fupport. But having, in compliance with the advice of the Right Honourable Gentleman, turned his attention with Tome diligence to the mode in which it was pro pored that the money Ihould be railed, he was not at liberty to fay that it did appear to him free from objections. What theft oblations were it would now be irregular to flute, but he could not ima. gine that he was at all deviating from the coned- . nets of parliamentary duty if he afked, whether the general queftion would ever be brought before the Houfe in fuch a 'hope as to enable Members ta judge of the propriety and expediency of the fate. propofed e His chief reafon for dicing this quef tion was to afcertain whether a tubfequent oppor. tunity of a fair and regular difcuffion of the fubjeft would occur, and to enable him, if loch an op portunity did not occur, to determine how far it would be expedient for him to make it the fu'bjed of confideration in connection with the general fubjed of difcuffion.
