PARIS, 7 FLOREAL, APRIL 27. 11P1ICH Or TICK ORATOR OF GOVERN MINT ON TN! •MNESTY GRANTED TO THE &MIGRANTS. Citizen ltscsiza addreffed the Senate as fol lows: "Citizens Senators—A multitude of individuals Rill remain infcribed on the lilt of Emigrants ; and experience has demonflrated that by continu ing to proceed in the neceffarily flow mode of in-' dividual erafitres, many years would elapfe be fore it would be poffible to pronounce entirely upon the fate of fo many thoufands of men. In the mean time, the infcribed individuals fuffering under the law, in a flate of painful uncertainty as to their defliny, wandering on a foreign foil, or obliged to conceal themfelves in France, are de voted to the languor of defpair, to which they fee no conclufion. In addition to this, the numerous families with which they are conneeted by ties of blood, affinity or interett, and who are in fome meallire implicated in their fate, experience in all the tranfaltions of focial life, in all their alliances, and almoft all their domeftic arrangements, re. flraints and difficulties which have difturhed and j perplexed their minds for many years. The Go. 1 veriiment thought the time was at length come for putting an end to this state of affairs, which 1 1 imperious circumftances formerly commanded, but which ought to terminate with them. The molt effeetual means of attaining this almoft ge- 1 ncrally &fired objeCt, is to fubflitute for the much too flow meafure of partial erafures another mea. flue at once more expeditious and more worthy of the national magnanimity. An amnefty has' at all times been reforted to, in order to efface political offences, when, on the termination of civil ditiurbance, circumflances admitted the fubflitu. tine of indulgence for fevrrity. Let the amnefty of to-day pronounce, with a very few exceptions, the general erafure of the infcriptions cn the lift of Emigrants! A Government flrong and pow erful, ref - peeled both at home and abroad, may ex ercife clemency without danger. What abfurd te merity would attempt to turn againft it that cle mency which is the molt evident demonflration of its power ! Let us add that no time could be better (elated for this grand all of remiflion, than the for ever memorable epoch at which Peace has been reilored to Europe, calm to the eonfcience, and when the public happinefs, placed upon du rable foundations, difpofes every heart to indul gence and an oblivion of the pan. This indul gence, however, lhould have its limits ; and the aft of amnefty which we bring to you in thename of the Government, makes, from the general par don, fome exceptions which, with it, you will doubtlefs deem indifpenfable. This pardon is far- I. • • " am. .• t • applies not only to the individuals comprifed in the Amneliy, but likewife to thofe whore definitive erafure did not precede the zoth of Oitober, iBot. The Government has thought it neceffary that all there individuals Mould continue fubjed to a fpe cial fuperintendance, until a difcreet fyitem of condud, fupported for a pretty long period, Would rural, on their part, a fufficient fecurity for the public tranquillity. It is further neceirary that the return of the perfons comprifed in the amnefty Would not be fignalized by indifcreet claims of refiitution, daring pretenfions, and proceedings tending to difturb the repofe of Citizens who have cnntraaed with the nation under the guarantee of the public faith, and who had reafon to rely upon the irrevocability of the as emanating from its power. With there precautions, the amnefty, dilated at the fame time by the national dignity, the prayers of humanity, and that juti confidence which the ,Government Would have in its own Rrength, prefents nothing which can afford any reafonable caufe of uneariners. You will thus, Citizens Senators, doubtlefs be of opinion, that this ad prefents nothing incompatible with the fpirit of the Conilitution, of which you are the faithful guardians, and you will haften to render it more folemn and auguli by converting it into a Senatus Confultum." The Senate took the preceding mefrage into con federation on the 26th, and paired a Confultum accordingly, which was on the fame day promul gated as a law by the Filmy CousuL. 8 /I.OIIIALo_APRIL 28. The adminiftration of the Cuftoms at Litbon de manded for the introduCtion of French cloths, a duty almoft double to that paid on Englifh cloth. C. Limnos, Agent of the Marine for the ex change of French prifoners at Linton, has obtained an equality. The Milliner of Foreign Relations has given notice of this circumftance to the Mer chants, by publifhing LETAILOUL'S letter on that fubjea. The Budget for the fervice of the year has been opened in the Legiflative Body. The expenditure is Rated at Soo millions (nearly as millions tier ling), for the whole year, viz. from Sept. 23, !Sol, to Sept. 23, tBoa. The revenue is expected, with Come ameliora tions, to meet the expenditure. The dire in and indirect taxes are to be continued. Tie perfonal, or poll -tax, is to be increafed fomething lets than a thirty.fecond. The tax on doors and windows is to remain as it is. The duty on patents is to be increafed one-twentieth, or five cents. the franc. There is to be a (mall additional cuftom duty in the ports, to keep them in repair. The fifheries on the rivers are to be farmed out. A Vote of Credit for three hundred millions for the year t t is propfed, in order that the public (ervice may experience no check whilft the Leginative Body is not fitting. ADMIRAL TILLARIT 'OTIOSE TO THE MINISTER OF MAINE AND COLONIES- On board the flag iltip the jeinappe, Road of Cape Francois, is Ventete, Marsh 6. Citizen Minilter—At the moment the divifion of Rear Admiral GarrogAUME was about to let fail, the frigate la Cornelie entered the Road, on her return from Jamaica. I batten to inform you of the reception the obtained. The Englifti Admiral, Sir Jona Ducitworro, treated with the molt dillinguithed politenefs Cap tain VILLA-MANDRIN, and the Enfeigne de Wil lem' of my Staff, CLOUET, who carried my dil. patches. He teemed eagerly to feize this occafion to celebrate the reftoration of peace between the two nations. The frigate fainted 'the Admiral and the town with 13 pieces of cannon, which were equally returned by the Admiral and the Forts. AU the Captains of the Englilh fquadron battened to anticipate the vifit of Captain Vrcr.a- MANDOLIN, and feveral of them received his with the found of martial mufic. Our Officers re marked with a very natural emotion of national pride, that the portrait of the Cater Cowsut. is very generally to be found in the Englith fquadron. COPY or A LETTER PROM •DMIR AL SIR J. T. DUCt. WORTH, ON THE JAMAICA STATION, TO ADMIRAL VILLARET JOYEUSE, AT THE CAPE. Dated t9th February, t Bos, on board the Leviathan, Port Royal, Jamaica. Sir—l received the letter with which your Ex cellency honoured me, in order to communicate to me the arrival at the Cape of the French army, and I fleel flattered by the confidence with which your Excellency honours me, in acquainting me with the nate of that army, and with its deaina tion. This information era/fly correfponds with what I have received from his Majefty's Miniflers, who have at the fame time tranfmitted to me the orders of my Sovereign to treat the French nation with every poffible mark of refpeet. But as to what regards a fupply of provifions, which your Excellency feems to be under the ne ceflity of calling for, I perceive with the molt fincere regret that our aftual fituation, occafioned by the unexpetted arrival of large maritime and land forces, reduces me to a Rate in which it is impoffible for me to offer you even a hope of affillanee : our own refources are fo exceedingly narrowed, that I have been under the neceffity of detaching a number of frigates to different points in quell of means to refcue us from the hardthips of a perfeft famine ; and I have thus, like your Excellency, been compelled to draw alfiftance from the Continent of America, while I remain in expeftation of arrivals from Europe. It was with very painful refleftions that I learnt the hoftile reception which your Excellen cy met with, and the dire& violation of all the duties which colonies owe to the mother country. I perfeitly agree with you as to the confe quences attending Inch a conduft, and I am of opinion that they deeply involve the intents of all the European Powers. But with fo confiderable a force as that under the command of your Excel lency, this rebellion cannot be of any long duration, and the devaltations committed by the Rebels in burning the plantations can only be produftive of a temporary evil, I have the honour to be, with high confidera tion, your Excellency's molt humble and root obedient knew, (Signed) 9 PLORAALI APRIL 29. Rear-Admiral Lacaossa has written to the Minifter of the Marine, dated Dominica, Feb. 16, announcing the arrival at that ifland of la Cu carde frigate from Guadaloupe, and which was to tranfport the Commiffioners fent by Patect to the FIRST CONSUL. The Commiffioncrs were well received at Dominica by the Englifh Go vernment, in confequence of the teflimony given by Admiral LACROSSA in their favour, except citi zen HAPPEL-LlCHasmAye, whofe principles gave reafon to be fufpicious of his intentions. They quitted Guadaloupe only that they might efcape with more certainty from the rebels. l'he fafety of la CoCarde was owing to the care of Captain HINNY. That Officer took charge of the papers of the deputation. As, according to his report, the fpirit of the public had been confiderably changed at Guada loupe, the Rear-Admiral refolved to take poffef. fion of the Wand of Mariegalante, which depends on the fame Government. General &away, at the head of Come officers and other young men, who affembled at the Sainte: and Dominica, fe conded by 45 men, who formed the crew of la Penfee, and proteaed by that frigate and la Co. carde, which furniffied rye men from her crew, armed and ready to affift in cafe of refinance, en tered the Ifland amicift the acclamations of the inhabitants. The Military Commandant, though eftabliffied by the ufurped authority, and theCom miffioner of Government, juftified at that happy moment the declaration they had formerly made of their attachment to the legal Government. The inhabitants took the (=lien opportunity of teftifying to General SUIZIAIT thefatisfaaion they experienced at being delivered from the oppreffive yoke of the rebels. This new pofition gives us a double advantage : that of leaning our expences, and enabling us to receive the troops, which we expea with impatience. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Hoene, Aram 22.—We learn that the Englifh Government has fent orders to the Moluccas to coiled, before the Britifh troops evacuate thefe islands, feeds of all the different fpices, and to con vey them to Jamaica and Trinidad.
