Gentlemen—His Majesty has ordered me to in form you of the situation of the Empire in the years 1811 and 1812. You will see with• satisfaction, that notwithstanding the great armies, which the state of the marierme and continental war obliges us tolteep on foot, the population continues to increase'} that our industry has made new progress ; that the lands hove never been better cultivated, nor the manufac tories more flourishing ; that never, at any epoch of our history, have riches been more spread among the different classes of society. The simple _cultivator at this time knows enjoy ments to which he was formgly a stranger; he Nr chases at a higher price such lands as suit him best ; his clothing is better, his food is more abundant, and more substantial ; he rebuilds his houses, and makes them more commodious and substantial, New inventions in agriculture, in industry, and in the useful arts, are not rejected, merely because of their being new. Every where trials are . crtind such as experience proves to be preferable are se fully substituted for the old routines. The artificial sheep-walks are multiplied, the system of fallowing is discontinued, inclosures lcss extensive, and new cultivations augment the produce of our lands ; the cattle multiply, and their breed is ameliorated; the lowest farmers have acquired the means of obtain. ing, at high prices, the rams of the Spanish breed, and the stallions of our best kinds of horses. Become enlightened to their true interests, they do not hesi tate making these useful purchases ;—thus the wants of our manufactures, our agriculture, and our armies, become every day more assured of relief. This degree of prosperity is owing to the liberal laws by which this great empire is governed ; to the suppression of the Feudal System, the tithes, the Main-morter, the Monastic Orders ; a suppression which has constituted or rendered free, that great number of private estates, now become the free pa trimony of a multitude of families hitherto of the lowest class : it is owing to the equality of partitions, to the clearness and simplicity of the laws on pro perty, and on securities ; to the promptitude with which law-suits, which are every day decreasing; arc decided ; it is to these same causes, and to the in fluence of vaccination, that the increase of the popu lation should be attributed. And why should we not acknowledge to ourselves, that even the conscription itself, which every year causes the choice of our youth to range themselves under its banners, has contri buted to this encrease, by multiplying the number of marriages, in favouring them, by for ever fixing the fate of young Frenchmen, who have once obeyed the law. [Here follows a long detailed account of the state of population, agriculture, manufactures, commerce, public works, interior administration and marine, oc cupying nearly the whole of the Moniker, and two supplementary sheets, of which a brief abstract will be given hereafter.] To which the President of the Legislative Body replied as follows ; GENTLEMEN—The Expose of the situation of the Empire, which we never heat without treat interest, connot find more enlightened judges, not receive more sincere applauses, than in the bosom of the -,egisla tive corps. Who among us is ignorant of the pro gress of this interior circulation, which enlivens every kind of industry, and has caused its effects to reach even that laborious class which had for so long a titre been ignorant of its enjoyments ? It is by the remem brance of those days, not far removed from us, and not by the regret of those who cannot hope for them again, that we love to judge of the works of Govern ment, and of their success. France, always tributary to Foreigners for the greater part of its wants, with out circulation among the interior towns, without certain employment to the inhabitants of the country, and without giving them proportionate wages, saw her commerce and her for tme concentered in a few maritime cities, whose splendour we for the moment regret, but the influence of which was but little felt in the distant provinces. At present a more skilful agriculture yields a more considerable produce; great manufactures bring into every district foreign arts ; more abundant and bet ter-paid labour makes the people forget their priva tions. But nevertheless, far from us be the idea of any injustice towards those anterior times; much was then done, but we have surpassed the hopes of our forefathers, and farlfrom misconceiving these benefits, we love to place the glory of them to their author, How can we forbear admiring these gene rous efforts which no interests could relax ? In this very year, when unexpected losses appear to leave no other care than that of repairing them, immense sums are consecrated equally to interior industry, to retaining what has already been atchieved, and to the execution of what is not yet performed, May our enemies at length acknowledge the infinite resources of this Empire, and judge of her greatness by this noble emulation of generosity between the Sovereign and the people, and thence foresee its de stiny, which is in the hands of a genius equally ca pable of inspiring his enemies with terror, and his people with confidence.--Moniteur, Feb. 27.

It is said that his Majesty will go to Neisse, Glatz, and Silberberg, to inspect the works of those for tresses. In consequence of the appeal from our Govern ment, a great number of young people come forward to enter as volunteers in the corps of chasseurs. Every instant they are departing from all parts of the State for eolberg, or Breslau. All are tilled with enthu siasrh. The University, as well as the Schools, are almost deserted. Prussia is about to place on foot the most imposing forces, to combat with success the enemy of peace, and to maintain the stem adopted for the interest of the Continent. The Magistracy of ' Iconingsberg,' qding them selves under the impossibility cf" furnishing succours to the great number of poor of that city who are in want of subsistence, have addressed a new exhorta. tation to the inhabitants, to excite them to acts of benevolence towards those unfortunate perspns.

We humbly trust that we may be permitted, with. out being thought to exceed the limits of the duty imposed upon • us, respectfully to express the just sense we entertain of the motives by which your . Royal Highness has been actuated in the postpone ment of the Confirmation of her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE, as it appears by a statement under the hand of her Majesty the Qtazbt, that your Royal Highness has conformed, in this respect, to the declared will of his MAJESTY, who had been pleased to direct, that such ceremony should not take place till her Royal Highness should have compleated her Eighteenth Year. We also humbly trust that we may be further per. mitted to notice some expressions in the Letter of her Royal Highness the Princess of WALss, Which may possibly be construed as implying a charge of too serious a nature to be passed over without ob servation. We refer to the words t , suborned tra ducers." As this expression, from the manner in which it is introduced, may perhaps be liable to mis. construction (however impossible it may be to sup. pose that if can have been so intended) to have refe rence to some pan of the conduct of your Royal Highness ; we feel It cpr bounden duty not to omit this opportunity of declaring, that the Documents; laid before t;s afford the most ample proof, that there is not the slightest foundation for such an opinion.

In an Appeal Cause from the Court of King's Bench, a Farr v. Jaques," Mr. HcA•ru was heard at the Bar for the Respon dent, when the judgment of the Court below was affirmed with - £l2O costs. WAR IN THE PENINEVI.A. The Order of the Day for entering on the discu* ? sion of the conduct of the War in the Peninsula of Spain, was superseded by the Marquis WELLVS LEY'S rising, and intimating that in consequence of, a suggestion that it would be inconvenient for some Noble Loris to attend the pr6posed discussion o; that night, he was desirous to postpone it to a more commodious time. He therefore moved that the Order be discharged, and Friday se'nnight appointed for that purpose. 'loth motions were accordingly agreed to. LIST INDIA COMPANY. The Marquis WELLESLUY presented a Peti tion from Merchants, Bankers, and various pther descriptions of persons against the proposed innova . • tions on the privileges of the East Indi a CoMp a ny. Earl GREY presented from the ship-ownets, mer ! chants, and others, of North Shields and Newcastle. upon-Tyne, and also from Berwick-upon-Tweed, Petitions against the renewal of the East India Corn ! pang's Charter. PETITIONS 1N FAVOUR OF THE C4TIIOLICS. Earl GREY presented two Petitions, one from si body of people designating themselves Christians, an 4 the other from Dissenters of various descriptions in Ipswich, praying for the removal of religiousdisabilities. Earl MOIRA presented a Petition from the Rci-: man Catholics of the county of Galway, in favour of the Catholic Claims ; and took occasion to observe, that under the present circumstances of the empire and of the world, not only equity and justice, but local and sound policy, should induce that House and Parliament to concede the claims. Lord BORRINGDON presented a similar Peti. tion from Bodbury. Lord HOLLAND presented four Petitions from three descriptions of Dissenters, namely, Anabaptists, Presbyterians, and Independents. The first was from the Dissenting .Minister of those various classes in the neighbourhood and vicinity of London, the second from the parish of Harlow, the third from Honiton, and the fourth from the City of London and Westminster. His Lordship observed, that con. trary to the opinions which he had lately heard deb. vered by certain Lords and Prelates on the other side of the House upon the presentation of some petitions, he wished that the utlnost scrutiny and exactness should take place in every part of the petitions and of each otthem which he presented. The Earl of ESSEX presented a petition from the county of Flint in favour of the Catholics. Lord KENYON rose, and regretted that the Noble Earl who presented the petitwn had not been present on the occasion which produced it. Had that Noble Lord been there present, he was sure that he would have paused before he presented such a peti tion. Means the most unfair—the most unconstitu tional had been used to bring about the measure of that petition ; and he could shew, and was ready to prove, on the proper occasion, that influence so improper and unwarrantable according to all the usages of the • Constitution, had been resorted to by a Nook Earl, that men were threatened to be dispossessed of their holdings and means of livelihood if they refused to vote according to the pleasure of that Noble Earl. Atter some explanatory' observations from Lords ESSEX and KENYON, the petition was ordered to li e , on the Table. Their Lordships then adjourned till to-inorrow. I 1
