CONSERVATIVE SENATE. SITTING OF TIM 2D OF FEBRUARY. The Sitting was opened at two o'clock P.M. under the Presidency of his Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor of the Empire. Their Excellencies Counts Regnaud de St. Jean D'Angely and Disemon, Ministers of State and Coun cilors of State, were introduced. His Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor spoke as follows : The dispositions of the second Section of this Title have been provided for, referring, at the same time, to the forms prescribed by the Family Statute of the soth March, and to the dispositions of the Act of Constitution of the SOth January, concerning the Emperor's domains. The Vice-Grand Dignitaries shall, in this respect, exercise the rights of those Titularies whom they represent—to possess not a simple sovereignty, but a Throne, a Crown, to be, in conse quence, subject to the duties, influenced by the affections, ani mated by foreign interests, opposite, perhaps, to the duties, the affections, the interests which ought to direct the Government of France, is, in the eyes of reason and policy, a motive of ex clusion from the Regency, and two Articles of Title I. pro nounce this exclusion. The extraordinary domains remain entirely reserved for tha exigencies of the State, and the funds existing in its office are, like those of the private domain, • to be thrown into the imperial Treasury. a GENTLE/tan—His Imperiarand Royal Majesty has ordain ed that you should present him with a trajd relative to the Re gency. This part of our institution not having yet been able to obtain such a degree of perfection as the laws received by time, it has appeared useful to add more extended dispositions to those already existing, and, at the same time, the necessity has been felt of reviving usages consecrated in our annals, founded on the ancient manners of the nation. Thus the plan which is sub mimed to you will re-establish, in its full latitUde, the uncon• tested right of the Sovereign to settle the Regency. " At all events it will prevent an excess of precaution by ar bitrarily restraining the powers of this said Regency from dena turalizing the essence of the Monarchial Government. The 44th Article of Section 3, does not even leave the lisp°. sition of the vaunt benefices in so far as they do not exceed .50,000 franks in revenue. TITLE It. OF THE ItBOENCY BY THE EMPEROR. That, Gentlemen, which is established by Title I. has a general rule for the exercise of the Regency, may, nevertheless, be mo dified by the will of the Emperor, solemnly manifested. It is without doubt that the interest of the State demands that a stated order should glee a Regency to France, at the moment when she becomes the widow of I.t. Minaret., without any change being made in this order, established by foresight and wisdom. But the interest of the State likewise requires, that the Empergr,, under such circumstances as the general views of the laws can neither foresee nor define, may, after so much expe rience of events, the situation of affairs, the knowledge of per sons, bring into the common rule, modifications dictated by his wisdom, and inspired by the interest of his successors and of his people. This wise restriction is sacred, and the manner of making known its object and extent, is determined in Titles I. and 11. and finally in .Article 23, of Title IV. touching the Council of Regency. TITLE VIII. ABSENCE OF THE EMPEROR OR REGENT. have said, at the commenceinent,.Getnigmen, that his Ma jesty would extend his foresight to aU events. and take alt chances of security in favour of maintaining public order, and the guarantee of Government. 'fhb sentiment has led him to provide for the case of absatai of the Emperor, called to the Throne, or of the Prince, called to the Regency. " If tke Emperor had not manifested hls will, the Regency would by course of right a k opertain to the Empress. The said HUFFEY WHITE is a Native of London, by Trade a Cabinet-mater, about 35 or 36 years of age, of good appearance, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, stoutish made and stands very upright, has thin legs, brown hair, broad or full forehead, pale complexion, light grey eyes, and little eyebrows; is marked with the small pox in large pus deep in the skin, and at some distance from each other ; his nose turns up. He has a squeaking , voice, is mild in manners, and does not talk much. He is well known at all the Police Offices. He had formerly served some years on board the Hulks, and returned about ten years since. About tour years ago he was capitally convicted at the. Old Bailey, and ordered to be transported for life, but afterwards made his tscape. About twelve months after this conviction he was apprehend etl at Stockport, and tried and convicted at Chester Assizes for Ibis escape, and sent back to the hulks, but again escaped. He atterwards robbed the Paisley Union Bank, and immedi ately proceeded to London by the way of Edinburgh, in post chaises; and in two or three days after his arrival, was appre boded in Surrey, and tried and convicted at Kingston Lent Assizes 1811, for being at large, and was sent to the hulks. From thence he again escaped, and has since been in the coun ties of Cambridge , Huntingdon, and Northampton passing by the name of WALIS, until the Robbery bf the Leeds Mail the lEth of October last. It is not known where he has been since, except that he was I r the Bull's head, in Bread-street, for two or three days imme diately afterwards, and then went to Bath. He slept at the Swan Inn, in Birmingham, en Sunday, the 24th of January List, ' sad proceeded the next day in company with Robert Brady, otherwise called Oxford Bob, in the Shrewsbury Mail to Wol- ' verbampton, where Brady was apprehended, and White took the, e partook) , to quit the Coach, and has not since been heard of. lie may probably be in the company of two persons herein de scribed, viz.

" Whatever the heart and ungentanding can suggest in such matter, with regard to private families, ought to apply to the great family of the State. None can have a greater degree "of zeal than the Empress Mother for preserving the authority of her charge, free from all attempts. No one can, like her, pre sent to the imagination of the people the imposing and proper remembrances so as to render obedience noble and easy. " A system of exclusion would constrain the choice of the monarch. Prohibitory laws by the restraint which they impose frequently contain the seeds of discord. " In defect of the Empress, there is an order established, so that there can be no uncertainty concerning the choice of a Re gent. In this matter the law, in respecting, hereditary rights, has been obliged to enter into all the details of foresight, and to adopt even wise precaution. " The least interruption in the exercise of the Sovereign power, would become a great calamity to the people. " This power, during the minority of the Emperor, Is ,to be exercised in his name and in his sole behalf by the Empress Re gent, or by the Regent. " After them the Council of Regency will concur in the deci sion of matters of great importance, and fortify thtir authority with all the weight of public opinion. " 'l'he other articles of the project are eittier drawn from those which I have just announced, or relate to them. " In a matter so very serious you will judge, Messieurs, that it will not be sufficient to weigh a few principles; the Legisla ture extends its views still further, and withr.ut aspiring to say every thing, it is a part of its duty, to banish at first a number of doubts, and to suffer but few questions to subsir. " Whatever, Gentlemen, may be the utility of the disposi tions on which we call for your suffrages, yet it is pleasing to hope that according to the order of nature, their application will not occur until a period of time diatat.t and uncertain. " Happy France, if all the Princes of this august dynasty should not come to the throne until matured by age, animated by glorious examples, and long nourished by the lessons of wisdom." • After this discourse of his Serene Highness, Mes sieurs, the Councillors of State presented a prtjet of an organized &flatus Consultum, and M. Count Reg naud de Saint Jean d'Angely explained its motives. MOTIVE OF THE SENATUS CONSULTUM ON THE REGENCY OF THE EMPIRE, THE CORONATION CF THE EMPRESS, AND THE CORONATION OF THE PRINCE IMPERIAL OF ROME. " MONSEIGNEUR SENATORS—To add new guarantees of stability to our institutions, to insure in every case which expe rience can indicate, or prudence conceive, the uninterrupted action of Government, to look forward with calm reflection on the absence of every interest in the silence of all the passions, iu banishing all sorrow to the difficulties which embarras a minothy, this is the principal object of the important act which is present ed to your deliberation. " The motives which have dictated these dispositions, Gen tlemen, are founded in the experience of nations, in the lessons of history, in the traditions of the French Monarchy, In the ex amples offered in its annals. " It will consequently suffice rather to indicate than develope these motives, and in the hasty picture which I am going to make, I shall follow the methodical manner traced out by the Jawtui Cortultum. TITLE I. - OF THE REGENCY. A Regency of the State has never been bestowed in France by virtue of the General Laws, one only was granted by Charles V. but which Was neither executed nor even acted on afterwards. The suffrages of the people, the vows of the Nobility, the re s Autions of the Council, the testaments of Monarchs, the arrets of the Parli.lments, have successively, and almost always under the public influence where secret passions, intrigue, seduction, curt uption, or force bestowed the Regency of the State. But in the midst of these various examples, it is the Regen cies of Queen Mothers that most frequently appear in our an nals, and which have always been most conformable to the wishes of the nation and the interest of the State. Happily, Gen tlemen, fcr social order, it is in the strongest feelings of nature that we find the greatest securities for the political opinion and conduct, and this guarantee given by maternal tenderness be conics still more efficacious, as we have before our eyes the happy example In the reciprocal affections which are born and strengthened incessantly between a people sensible and good, and the august Sovereign to whom they owe a successor to the Throne. It iL oa this happy principle that the first dispositions of the Stratus Cutsuitum are founded, which grants the rights of Re gency to the Empress Mother who is consecrated to fill the void, by interest, the love of her son and of her people. _ _ _ It is not sufficient to have established this first rule; it is still requisite that in failure of the Empress, that this disposition of the Emperor, by utablisbing a gradual order, fixed and lava• .1 1 4 I ITT and Bank Buildin Cruse. WIN they sold 6 C drawn last yt a 44 1.w9 TITLE lit EXTENT AND DURATION OF THE POWER OF THE REGENCY. After having instituted the Regency, it Is necessary to fix its power. It embraces in its eaten% and in the terms of the Ist Ai tide of T:tle 111. the whole plentitude of the Imperial authority. It commences at the moment of the Emperor's decease, to the in tent that the empire shall neither suffer weakness nor the Inter rupt on of its government. • With regard to its duration, the power remains in the hands of the Empress, in case of one of Ler minor sons being called to the throne. It passes into the hands of a Regent, if at the death of the Emperor, as a minor, the crown belongs to a Prince of ano.. tl:cr brands. 'Separated from the title of Empress, that of mo ther has not appeared sufacient to call to the Regency the mother of the new Emperor. This part of the Senatus Consultum, Gentle:nen, is drawn up as surplus, to spew that according to this principle, generally ac knowledged, the exercise of power should not change hands, un less when absolute necessity or great interests require It. rt'LE Iv. COUNCIL OV REGENCY. History teaches n., that fn eioans of minorities the Councils of Rewiner.associatt d in the exercise of the Administration or of the Government, have been disversed at the will of the Regent's embarrassing if they wished to.bcconse independent, inutile if they became seduced or subjected. dangerous ii they wished to pos ses§ themselves of the public opinion. It is not such a Council of Regency which is appointed by Tide IV. but a Council necessary in a fixed Lumber of cases— useful in all—dangerous in none. SECTION 1. This Council shall be composed of the first Prince of the blood, the uncles and two of the nearest relations of the Emperor, ac cording to order of birth, together with the Prince,' Grand Dig .thcaries, at which the Empress or Regent shall preside, and to which the Emperor may add such number of members as they Way judge convenient. SECTION IL DELIBERATIONS OF THE COUNCIL. To datum a consort for the Emperor, declare war, sign trea. des of peace, of alliance, of commerce, such are the terminations on which the Council of Regency necessarily have to deliberate. The projected dispositions of the extraordinary domains, and the necessity of placing the Princes Grand Dignitaries, previous to the majority of the Emperor, in case of there being a Regent, is likewise submitted to them. Being schly consulted in all other affairs, the Council of Regency will always give light Into matters, and will never pre sent obstacles to the Authority charged with the Government of the Empire. _ TITLE V. OF THE Guinn OF THE MINOR EMPEROR. The Royal Infant which belongs to a great nation, like the child belonging only to a private family, can never repose with greater security than in the arms of its mother. It is therefore to the mother of the Emperor that the superintendance of his house, the charge of Lis education, and in short the guard of his person is confined. The Emperor has not even imagined that any one could sup pose a necessity of ever derogating from this sacred rule, ant that it must only be in default of a mother that the person of the minor Emperor is confided by the Emperor previous to his de cease ; or, after his death, by the Council of Regency, to one of the Princes Grand Dignitaries of the Empire. TITLE VI. OF THE OATH TO BE TAKEN FOR EXERCISING THE REGENCY. The Constitution has determined that the Emperor, at his ac cession, should take an oath, which should be equally exacted for the exercise of the Regency, and contain special regulations rela tive to the temporary power attributed to the Regency. The expression of these obligations should not be entirely the same for the Empress Regent, as for the Regent. The difference is establisled in Sections 1 and 2 of Title VI. in the first part of the oath. The 2d, which is in common both to the Empress and to the Regent, is nothing more than the same oath which the Emperor himself takes on his ascending the throne. TITLE VII. OP THE ADMINISTRATION OF DOMAINS. The titles of the Senatus Consulturn which have just been am- Used, relates to the Government of the Empire, and the charge of the minor Emperor. The 7th relates to the administration of the three species of domains possessed by the Emperor, and to the manner in which' their revenues are to be employed. With regard to the administration, the minority makes no alteration in it; the rules rtabiblio4 ate lobe observed concern• The Ist and 2d Sections of Title VIII. provide for it by pro. rogation of the Ministers powers, by forming a Council presided by the first in ra:ik of the Grand DigMtarics. Finally, to omit nothing. Section 24 gives the means of resolving ill a Privy Council, by the drawit , g up and proposing a Senatus Consuitnm s all the unforeseen difficulties which may attend extraordinary conjunctures, and by the variety of which thought has not been able to extend itself. Here finishes, Gentlemen, what relates to the Regency, and presents an order of ideas relating to, without being entirely der pendent on it. _ TITLE IX. Called henceforth to the Government of the Empire to case of minority, the Empreues will bud themselves attached to France by a kind of new alliance, which is formed the moment that ties Emperor gives to them a son, the throne an heir, and the autos an object of their love and hope. The ninth Title of the Senatus Consultem, therefore, suppose that the Empresses, If the Emperor should authorize it, have the right of being consecrated, crowned, and proclaim, d, are capable so to say Of toercising the Regency.. In this august solemnity, Gentlemen, you will find intermixed the strength of remem. trance, the grandeur of intern', the force of affection, the ex. tent of hopes, even to the possibility of misfortune and to pro. vidu►g against re b rets. From thi► moment the double adoption of the nation by the Sovereign, and of the Sovereign by the nos Lion, will be consecrated by whatever is most holy in religion, august in human power and the most consoling Paovinance, and if possible, to render this source of profound reflection and touching emotions still more fruitful, the last Title of the Senates Consultunr promises the nation to see, as in othtr epochs of the monarchy, the hereditary Prince King of Rome, anointed and crowned under the auspices of his august father, take beforehand the holy engagements wh:ch be is called to fulfil towards him and the State, and become thus more especially entitled to the love and devotion of the French. I have said enough, Gen. Holten, in this short expose to make you appreciate, in all its ex.. tent, the importance of this Senatus Consultum, a fresh moms. meat of the constant solicitude of the Emperor, for the duration of his institutions, the security of his subjects, the glory of his dynasty. " This is the manner, Gentlemen, In which it is *per to reply to the mad projects, anarchial hopes, I had almost said, to the murderous wishes of our enemies. The people and the Go. vernments which they attempt to deceive, will acknowledge their error, on seeing on the one side battalions, squadrons, already arrived, or ready to march wherever the safety or glory of the empire calls them; and on the other, wise prudence guarding the future against Improbable misfortunes, and still more strengthening a Government, already secured by the affectioes of all, and defended by the interests of all." The Project of the organic Senatu: Consufruir was sent to a Special Commission, and the Senate ad. journed to Friday the sth inst. SITTING OF FRIDAY, FEB. 5. The Senate met at two o'clock, under the Presi. dency of his Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor of the Empire. Count Pzstoret, in the name of the Special Com mission, appointed in the meeting of the 2d, made a long report on the Project of an organic Sasatuf Comultt4.l. The Senate unanimously voted the Project. SENATUS CONSULTUAL NAPOLEON Btc.—The Senate, after having heard the Orators Of the Council of State, has decreed, and we ordain as follows : EXTRACT FROM THE REGISTERS OF THE CONSERVATISM SENATE, FRIDAY, STH FEB. The Conservative Senate, assembled to the num ber of Members prescribed, Art. 90, of the Act of the Constitution of the 13th December, 1799, having seen the projet of the organic Solemn Coasultum, draws up in the form prescribed by Art. 57. of the Act of Constitution of the 4th of August, 1812. After having heard on the motives of the said pro• jet, - the orators of the Council of State, and the report of the Special Commission appointed in the Sitting of the 2d of this month, the adoption having beers deliberated, and the number of voices prescribed by Art. 56, of the Act of Constitution of the 4th August, 1802, decrees _ _ TITLE I. OP THE REGENCY. Art. I. The case occurring in which the Emperor a•cende ties Throne, a minor, without his father having disposed of the Re. gency of the Empire, the Empress Mother unites of right to the guardianship of her son the Regency of the Empire. 2. The Empress Regent cannot marry a second time. S. In case of the failure of the Empress, the Regency, if tiro Emperor has not otherwise disposed of it, appertains to diefiret Prince of the Blond, and in default of him, to one of the Gan French Princes in the order of succession to the Crown. 4. Should there not be any Prince of the Blood capable an. aching the Regency, it paws of right to the kit of the Prioceo
