M.

It is there we find the power which furrounds, and mutt protedt us. It Is there we find the guarantee of principles, which, even in the midtt of political agitations, have always guided our fathers, which are needfary to our potation, and for the prcfervati n of which, we have, wills unanimous confine, refolved to take advantage of the moment when your Imperial Ma jelly was near our countries, to pray you to fix our lot." The Gonfalonnier then read the ConftitutionalAel‘, containing the Refolutions of the Gonfalonniers and sElders of the Republic of Lucca, dated the 4th and lath of June; and the Ad of the 14th of the fame month, by which the Grand Council confirms there deliberations.

The fo!lowing is an extra& from his MAJESTY'S Anfwer " Monfieur le Confalunnier, Mime ors the Deputies of the Fl akes, and the people of Lucca, my Minifter to your Rcrut tic has apprifed me of the step which yon have taken. The republic of Lucca, without ftrength, and without an army, has r-"nd its fe mirky during the paged ages, iii the general law of the Empire, upon which it depended. I now confider, as a charge attached to my crown, the obligation of conciliating the different parties which may idivide the interior of your country. the republic of Flo rence, of l'ifa, of Sienna, of Bologna, and all the other little re publics which divided :taly in the 14th Century, have felt the lame loconveniat cks They have all been agitated by the popular lac don, and by that of the Nobles. It is only from the conciliation of theft different interefts, that tranquility and good order can wile. The Conitirution which you have had for there three years is feeble.

BOLOGNA, JON[ 25. — When the Emperor NAPO LEON made his entry into t:iis city, the Prefident of the Municipality, after prefenting him with the keys, folicited leave for the inhabitants to draw him in his carriage, to which his Majetly replied, it was a thing be would not permit, having no need of that proof of his people's attachment, nor any doubt of their affalion.

FRANCKFOIT, JULY i4.—The lan letters from Vi• enna (late, that the French Ambailador had a long audience of the Roman Emperor on the zBth of June. It is alio °braved, that a very aeiive col efporsdence is on foot between the Courts of St. Peter iborgh, Vi enna, and Berlin, which is hippofed to relate to the plans of peace. Thus much is certain, that the letters fr.,m the North are pacific, and perfiß in aferibing fimilar fentiments to the Courts of Rufila and Pruffia. The Prullian Cabinet was very aCiive et Alexanderf bad, and Baron Novosivrzorr having fo fpeedily followed to Berlin General VAN ZASTROW, whocame back from St. Peterfburgh, ;his circumßanceappears to have haßened the return of the Pruflian Court to Berlin. At Vienna the Court continued very aftive negotiations with the Ruffian Envoy • Baron Wipr simcaorre. A courier was alfo fent• from Vienna to Milan, about the end of June, with important dif patches. arrisw, Jutr 17.—0 n the 13,h and t4th the Mei- I Iseriii of the French was to hunt in the woods at St. Cloud;• and then proceed to Paris.

It is not, as was at Irlt announced, only 115,000, but amounts to 50,000. It may juftly be concluded, that blood will fic,w in torrents in Ser.' via, finer the Chriflians of that province per-lilt in the refolution of burying themfelves beneath the ruins of their towns and habitations rather than fubmit to their former oppreirors. Their army is therefore in motion, and a detachment has proceeded to the banks of the Drina to wait fur &Lir Pacha, and to give him battle. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 24.

An American !hip the Oaavia, Cot Alms, arrived ye Rerday at Cowes, Ifle of Wight, in 28 days, from Charlettown, South Carolina. At that Time there were no accounts of Lord Ni L sow, or the Combined Fleet's arriving on the coati ofAmerica; of coui ft they were not hound thither.—No accounts from Hondu. ras had been received at Charlet:town. A Spanifh corvette called the Hydra, of 3s guns and 170 men, was captured on thersth infiant, near the Weftern liles, by the Mrs* or vs, of 36 guns, Captain Fey z A fine lugger called it Bellifaire, and a (loop, both with brandy, from Bourdeauz, have been captured off the Coaft of France, by the ATALANTS, of 16 guns, Capt. MASEFIkID. Both theft prizes have artive4 at Plymouth. It is reported that the troops which went ont with General Cita to, have been landed at Malta. General CKAIG, who is veiled with a difcietionary command in the Mediterranean, remained behind at Gibraltar, but meant to follow the troops in a few days. We have received Paris Journals to the 16th t ;nd Dutch to the rsoh inft. inclufire. They announce that Admiral Da WINTER has hoilled his flag on board the Herftelle, in the Tercel ; that Bouararra arrived at Fontainbleau on the tub ; that M. Luc- CHISINI has reached Paris; that M. HAUTIRIVIi has received the reward of all his civic labours in the Monitemr, by being appointed a Counfellor of State ; and that the Americans have made a Convention with the Bay of TairoLt. The POPE'S Allocution, on account of his journey to France, read in the Secret Conclave upon his re turn to Rome, occupies a part of thefe papers. We fhdll lay a copy of this curiJsy before our readers to mot row. Thefe papers likewife contain an extra& of a letter from Admiral VILLENEuvr, dated Martinique, May 21, four days later than the dicpatches we gave yef terday, but it prefents nothing of importance. Doubt leci the French Government have accounts from that Admiral down to the time of the LYNX'S departure on the 28th; but they have not thought fit to publith them ! The report by the Officer who brought the air patches comes down to the zBth. He lays, exprefsiy, that the crews were in the bell health. He lays no: thing of the health of the troops, indeed ; but there is no appearance either inthe d;f I .....patc.tes of %TILL E• , NEVER, or in the Lieutenant's communication, that the object of the expedition was abandoned. General LAURISTON h 441 gone to Goadaloupe to endeavour to procure tranfports, and provilions were laid to be in abundance. If they have returned to Europe, it is the terror of Lord Nsison's name to which we are indebted for that fortunate circumflance. There kerns no doubt whatever that Jamaica was the objeft of the Combined Fleets. The collation of tranfports mull have been with a view to facilitate the debarkation. AU thefe mighty preparations are difconcerted by the appearance of Lord Nassow. By the time of his Lordfhip'iarrival, they mull have heard of Admiral COCHRANE'S return from Jamaica, and the difpofition of the remainder of our naval force in the Weft Indies. They Bate their belief that Admiral CocHaarte had returned to Europe with his Beet.' They i sull have concluded, tlerefore, on finding how matters really (nod, that to attempt . any thing while Lord Nvi.snir continued in the Weft Id dies was impoffible; and that to have been blockaded in Martinique would have been theaeftruelion of the whole fleet and eipcdition. Under theft imptcffions they refolved to !Iy. ' MARX-LAY .E. CORN EXCH•NGE, JULY 24. The fupply of Whept to-day is very Ilicrt ; it is chiefly of WI day's foreign unfold.
