As loon as the Sitting was opened, the Deputa tion fent to have an audience of the FOUT CON sot. at St. Cloud, reported the particulars of the conference with which obey had been honoured —The following is the fubftance of BONAPARTeS addrefs to them : 4. The more I learn of your country, laid 80. sasairs, fo much the more am I convinced that it cannot, with advantage, have more than a Engle government. By the reprefentative fyftem the Democratic Cantons would be fubjefted to the ne ceffity of payments to which they are unaccufi tomed. The defcendants of William Tell mull know neither the reftraint of chains, nor the pay ment of imports. But, on the other hand. for Berne, and the other great Cantons, the attempt at pure democracy were abfurd. Your different Cantons mull of neceffity have diverfities of Con ftitutional arrangement. With three leading ex ceptions, you mull be roeflablifhed nearly in the fame political order in which you were before.— The inequality of rights which fubfifted among the old Cantons; the relations between fovercign and fubi.dt (taus ; with the prerogatives of the Patrician families. mutt be abolifhed for ever.— Under thefe corretlions of the Cionftitutions of the Cantons, Switzerland may poffefs a Federative Government of effetlive vigour. For the maintenance of an independent cen tral Government, your country is, by the invin cible parfimony of nature, too pcor. Your Government cannot be other than one which may be fupported without a burtheofome civil lift.— You cannot now aft that part among the Great Powers of Europe to which you were formerly not unequal, when thofe which now conftitute the Great Powers were fubdivided into a multitude of petty fives. Your real force would be enfeebled, your prefent militia would be loft by the inllitn. tion of a ftanding army. You might, indeed, become great by forming two departments of France. But from France you are feparated, by the eternal indeftruetible barriers of nature. Be- tween two Powers,betwcen which there is a balance of force and influence, you are fate. Preferve your' neutrality, your laws, your political tranquillity, your good morals; and your fortune cannot but be happy. Confederative government enfeebles great Rates; but. by concentrating, invigorates the energies of thofe which are (mall. Befides, whom would you place at the head of your -.entral government ? If feveral perfons, would there not be a divition of their opinions and interefts ? one man, who is there among you whom you would all be willing to invert with the ne• celfary confidence and authority ? I, insetted as I am, by the confidence of a great nation, with the power of its fupreme magiftracy, could not' undertake to govern you. Should you chufe a native of Zurich, the inhabitants of Berne would be diffatisfied. By the choice of a Catholic, of fence would be given to the Proteflants. By the refloration of the Government of the Cantons you may become happier than by any merely central Government. During the esillence of one tingle Government for all Sw;tzerland, what have von known but inceEnt and unavailing chang es? Laft year you drove .!..ray a Diet legitimaty nomi nated by the people. Of your latt Conttitution I cannot approve ; a centr..l government cannot be maintained anicntr, you, without the pretence of French troops. Your prefect Government knows a. by expel-Ll:cc. Its members frolic the voice of patri, tifrn, crnEnting that the French tro o ps flr)uld be ; but their pro-knee in that content was i:ot. juti .le.l by the events which f lowcd.

HA rt cu, DEC. 2.l..—The b:trinefc refpthing the Dann battery nea: flittvis of Giuckftadt, oil the Elbe, before which the fhips of every nation were to have faluted the Royal Danifh Standard, when patting: up or down that river, has now taken a very diarent turn. BomAPARTE, who fome months ago dirdletl the Nliniflers of his Marine to fend orders to the Prcfeds of all the French Sea Ports, to desire all fueh French fhips as fhould hereafter enter the Elbe, to falute the Gluckftadt battery, partly from a fettle of his own high dig nity, and pattly at the remonftrance made upon the fit'ujeet from another criarter, both at Paris and Copenhagen, fuddenly deiired the French Mini tier, I:Eta:fat IN to fignifv to his Danilh Majelly, in his quality of Duke of liolftein—" That upon confulting all fubfilting treaties and precedetsts of every delcription, it appeared that the Elbe is a free river, and that the Danifh flag could not, in confequence, era& from any nation thofe marks of homage or falute, to which it was fuppofed to he entitled ; that the French (hips would in con fegurnee of thofe confiderations, pafs up and down the Elbe as before, without fainting; and that Denmark would of courfe not demand falutation even from the fmalleft Rates of Europe in amity with the French people." In confequence of this note, the works curying on at the intended royal battery of Gluckftadt, have fence been fufpended; and Citizen Rata HARD. who is matried to a na tive of Hamburgh, and rather beloved by fume of the inhabitants, has notified the orders he re ceived from his Government to the Senate o(this city.

The Svatett frigate is arrived from India, but the intelligence which fhe has brought has been concealed fo mytterioutly, that this, combined with other eircumtlances, has excited a fufpicion that fhe has brought accounts of a difagreeable nature. On Saturday morning early the DireCtors met at the India Houle, and Mr. VANSITTART from the Treafury, it is laid, was with them. There was a report in the City, that the Ambaffador from Perfia had been killed in tome of our eallern terri tories; but in what manner, nr why any political importance is attached to the event, we cannot ex plain, becaufe we have sot heard any particulars. A Hamburgh Mail, and Paris Journals to the 3s ft, have arrived fence our lath The Moitheur of the 29th ult. contains a Decree cf the Confu?, for the eftablithment of Chambers of Commerce in the following cities and towns : Lyons, Rouen, Bourdeaux, Marfeilles, Antwerp, Nantes, Dunkirk, Lille, Menu, Nifmes, Avignon, Strafbourg, Turin, Montpellier, Geneva, Bayonne, Touloufe, Tours Carcatlone, Amiens, and Havre. Each of there Chambers is to confia of fifteen merchants in towns, the population of which does not exceed so,cco, and of nine in all thofe the po pulation of which is lets, bcfides the Prete°, who is to be Prefident. In towns which are not the chief !place of a Prefeelusate, the Mayor is to be Prefident. No perfon can be a member who has ant himfclf carried on trade for lets than so years. The Functions of the Chambers of Commerce are o prams Hans on the means of increafing the prof ,•erity of Commerce.

Each Chamber mutt prefent two Candidates, from whom the FIRST CossuL w ill felea fifteen ; there fifteen molt meet at Paris once or twice a year, and three mull always be prefent. At the audience which the five Helvetic Depu• tits appointed for that perprfe had with the FiRsT Caron!, the latter gave them fome further expla ' nation as to his intentions rerpeCting Switzerland. In this verbal addrefs the FIRST Comsut entlea. voured particularly to imprefs upan their minds, that England ought not to have any relations with that country. Switzerland, he obferved, is too poor to fupport a Central Government ; Ito there• I fore adrifes, that there fhould be promptly and immediately cftablifhed particular and local Con- Ritutions for each Canton, and that there mould then be a provition made for the eftablifhment of a Central Power, that is to fay, a General Diet, or fome other more fuitable mode of Adminiftra. tion. He does not forget, however, to hint, that it would be much better for Switzerland to be in corporated with France, did not its natural limits forbid it. It is eafy to fee, that a plan is already prepared of.a Conflitution for Switzerland, for the purpofe of tendering that country a Republic, de pendent upon France, which the Swils Deputies will be merely called upon to fan lion. The EMPIII.OI of Russia is Rated, in a letter from Peteriburgh, to have written to the FIRST Consul., and ftrongly intercfted himfelf in the fate of the KING of SARDINIA, of Switzerland, Piedmont, Parma, and Placentia, obrerving,that he cannot believe the report, that the throe latter Countries arc to be incorporated with the French Republic. The French Funds continue at 56 fr. Among other changes reported from Paris, it is raid TALLEYRAND is to retire, and is to be Inc ceeded by the Count Ds &cult. The whole of the government and fyllem, it is fuppofed, will be new conlinuted, that the Imperial Diadem may fit with a better grace upon the Corfican brow...— BONAPARTE cannot fruit any individual long in the fame fituation, neither does he think it fife that hc himfelf ffiould long remain the fame being, invelled w•itlthe fame privileges and the fame lower. He mull keep up the interell of the fpec tators by a quick fucceffion of fcenery, by a myf tery of plot, and a variety of performers. He derives not his title flora hereditary right, or from popular choice ; but from pantomimic trick, the boldnefs of his leaps, and the magic of Or femme. There muff be perpetually played off before the eyes of the people, who, unlefs then are daily , dazzled, may return to fober recolleCtion, and figh for times pall. Cossrawrtmor Ls Dec. Englifh Am bafrador continues to have frequent conferences with the Reis Effendi, but this Minifler comes to no decifion without confolting the Ambaffador of Ruffia, who at prefent has the greateß influence at the Porte. It is no longer the navigation of the Black Sea that is under shieuffion. Lord Et c's has propofed an alliance between Turkey, Ruffia, and Great Britain, the principal objea of which is to guard againa a defcent in Egypt, and to prevent the Porte from granting any power the liberty of fending troops through that country.— The Grand Seignior has not acceded to the over tures of England, and as France has guaranteed to him the integrity of his States, it is natural that he fbould hefitate to take part in any coalition which might excite the dillrua of that power. On the other band, Citizen Rums, the French Charge d'Affaires, is held in the greaten alma tion at the Porte, and attentively watches the Reps taken by England with our Government. He is ' now occupied with the Indemnities, flipolated by the Treaty of Peace, in favour of the French citi zens eflablithed in Turkey, and whore property was confifcated by the Porte during the war. According to the laft intelligence from Egypt, the party of the rebels is weakened by the defec tion of OMAR Bar, who has gone over with his troops to the Pacha of Cairo. The other Beys ►ave requefted the mediation of General Sruaar, but that Officer refilled, agreeably to his intkruc dons, to interfere in the differences of the Porte. i VIENNA, DEC. I3.—The journey of Prince Es- TERNAZY engages very much at prefent the atten tion of our politicians. This Nobleman will cer tainly fet out the day after to-morrow, accinn panied by the young Ccuot de ZICHT and his Secretary M. JOEL What excites the public crario. fit). is, that the Prince will pars through Paris and London, in order to proceed to Madrid. If the Prince of ESTERNAIT is charged with any parti cular million to Paris, London, and Madrid; this million nun require very great (covey, fume our Ambafrador, who will fet out for Madrid on the r7th, has not been charged with it. Though our Court has been secured of wiling torment in Swifferland the fpirit of divifion which has done Co much hurt to that Republic, it is s:!ain that it has lately ernduAed itfeif in Nell a manner as !hews that it refpees the only govern. ment in Helvetia which bus an appearance of being legitimate. Cith.en Mut.t.Eß DL Mur. LEGG has been treated here as the only Envoy of the Hel vetic C-yernment, and bufinefs has been tranfafted with him in that quality. Our agents even havo been ordered to oblerve :he duties of amity in the frriftell manner in regard to Helvetia. The let ters which the Helvetic Envoy difpatched to Berne during the infurreEtion were flopped by the Chiefs of the Infurgents, fir that it was irapoffible for him to inform his Goscrument of the difpotitions of our Court. GENOA, DECEMBER. IL—The following letter addreffed by the Senator LENA, Minifter of War and tae Marine, to the Central Tribunal of Com• merce has been publithed here:— . I have received intelligence from different quarters, that a conliderabie armament has failed from Tuaii with troops on board, and that three chebecks, and a.polacre are cruifing between the Multi of Elba and the He of Capraja.
