+I FARM Aug. I. ACTS OF GOVERNMENT. VATIVE SENATE. StNATORS, MESSAGE, Tut? :9, !So:. tat tOMLs or THE REPUBLIC TO THE COMER- 64 On the 6th of May last, the Tribunate ex pressed a wish that a striking pledge of National Gratitude might be given to the First Consul. That wish was applauded by the Legislative Body, and repeated by a spontaneous movement of the Citi. tens. " The Senate raised its thoughts still higher; and in the accomplishment of that wish, it hoped to find the sure means of giving to the Government that stability which alone can multiply the re. :Sources of the Nation, establish confidence without and credit within, inspirit Allies, discourage E ne .. Ties, extinguish the flames of War, permit the en. 3 0 Yment of the fruits of Peace, and leave to future wisdom the task of executing every thing that can be conceived as contributing to the happiness of a Tree People." " The First Consul was of opinion that the cir cumstances of his fiat nomination prevented him from accepting the proposed re.eleelion, unless it should be specifically conferred by the French People, thereby g iv ing a proof of their attachment to, and perma. .dent confidence in, the Magistrate who had been the object of their first choice. " In this manner we have thought it our duty to tarry into execution the ideas of the Senate. " The French People have given their answer ; the Government has received from almost all the Departments, the ads which contain the expres. &ion of the will of the People. It is to the Senate 'We have thought in this new case, that it belongs to tolled and to promulgate the wishes of the People. We have therefore ordered the Minister of the In. terror to place at the disposal of the Senate, the legisters in which those Votes are contained. " We invite the Senate to take those measures Ivhich shall seem to its wisdom the most proper, for the purpose of stating the result. The Second Consul, CAMBACEIES. " By the Second Consul, " The Secretary of State, H. B. IVl.tarr." COUNCIL OF STATE. 4TRACT FROM THE REGISTER or DELIISERA VOWS—SITTING ny THE 272 H OF ;LILY, 18o:. Opinions upon the different questions relative to tile execution of the Stnatus Commhum granting 4n Amnesty for the crime of Emigration. On the Report of the Seetion of Legislation, to REGNIER had been added, the following questions were taken into consideration. ;. Those Individuals provisionally or definitiitly erasod alike the zoth of 06tober, do*, to be called upon to submit Rothe conditions of the Artinesty. s• Art those accused of Emigration, and not ddnitively * _ . rl sed. who have died previous to its publication, to be con. marred as Amnestied ? 1. Are those who; living at the .tinx, the Amnesty was die before the z„id September the, without Itsy. 44 1 fulfilled the conditior.s imposed by the &wow Cova•/. 4114 % to be considered as Amnestied ? 4- Are Foreigners accused oft migration, to be can a l upon I° ' 742 brtlit to the conditions of the Amnesty ? The'Council of State is of opinion, with respeei 14 the first question, that it is answered by the Sr " Article of the Sensor Consultunr--" An A rttoesty is granted for the crime of Emigra. bop to every individual accused of it, and not de- In itively erased." As the provisional erasure from : 114 List was also a definitive erasure, it is evident I t MUt mean the same thing as an erasure properly 11 ° Called. They must submit to the conditions Prescribed by the Arret6 applying to them : those of the Amnesty do not apply to them. With respect to the second question, the Council I:lState is of opinion, that the Amnesty having p een principally granted in favour of the Families " Emigrants, it is entirely conformable to the 8134 4 of the Senates Com:ilium to extend its grace 10 the heirs of the accused, when Death has put it °tit of the power of the accused himself to profit by it. If he had lived, he would have been entitled to Partak e of the benefits granted by the i7th Article of the Senates Consu/tum. How then can we refuse the same grace to his Children, who have lived in the Republic, and who were born before the Emi gration ? It is well understood, that this cannot apply to the Heirs of those individuals who are comprized in foe Exceptions contained in the xoth Article of the Sena/us Connatum. Those individuals could never h ave prsonally profited by the Amnesty, if they h ad been living at the moment of its publication, their Heirs cannot, therefore, partake of the same powerful considerations which operate in favour of the Heirs of others. With respeft to the third question, the benefits of the Amnesty are only lost in case the Emigrant ' le g l eas to fulfil its conditions before the 23d of Sept. !Sot. If, therefore, he, dies before the ex. piration of the period granted for that purpose, his right, which is not extind, passes to his Heir, who is not excluded the benefit of the Amnesty until the moment when the deceased himself would have been excluded. It must be supposed here, as on the preceding question, that the deceased. was not comprized in any of the exceptions coatained in the loth Article of the Senatur Consuhum. It is to be observed, that most of the conditions imposed by the &status Consultum upon Emigrants, are inapplicable to their Heirs. It is therefore suf_ fiCient, if the latter, before the zyl September, shall present themselves before the I'refed of their De partment, and having proved the death of the Emi grant, they shall receive a Certificate of Amnesty. With regard to the fourth question, as Foreigners cannot be guilty of the offence, the Amnesty can not apply to them. (Signed) J. G. LOCRE, - Secretary to the Council of State. (Approved) BONAPARTE. According to a Decree of the Consuls of the 30th ult. the Canal intended to form a junaion between the Somme and the Scheldt, is to be imme diately began. The Canal is to commence at St. Quintin, and pass by Omissi le Tronvoi, Bellenglise, Riqueval, and Mapincour. The whole to be conformab;e to the plans prepared by the Engineers of Bridges and Highways, and apiroved by the Minister of the Interior. In future, the Canal which forms the junaion of the Oise and the Scheldt, shall only bear the name of the Canal of St. Quintin. By a Decree of the Consuls, of the zBth ult. leaf.tohacco coming from foreign parts, shall be placed in the Entreptit designated by the Decree of the 28th November last, and in five other Maga zines at Bacalan and la Croix 'Aaron.

The last letters from Hamburgh state, that by the last Treaty between France and the Parte, the former is to have possession of the Morea, and the Island of C.yprus. Vittir4, JtILY t 7 Papal Consul at Fiume has lately received the following intelligence : A Vessel belonging to that Consul had lately taken on board at Leghorn a cargo of great valve, which was destined for Messina ; nine Russian Prisoners of War were also put on board. During the voyage the Russians rose upon the Crew, and murdered them all. They then hoisted Russian Colours, and sailed into an unfrequented port of the Marra, where they offered the Cargo for sale ; but they demanded so low a price for it, that they were suspected and detained. BANKS Or Tin MEIN) JULY 23. --The last letters from View, confirm the news of the march of the Austrian Troops to take possession of the new Ter ritories of the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY. This measure was adopted after several Conferences he tween Count CQ 11.2 NA E L. and the French Ambassador CHAMPAGNY and consequently His IMPERIAL MAJESTY has acceded to the Convention entered into between Russia and France. Very heavy complaints have latety been made by the Protestants of Hungary, stating the gross Insults they have received from the Populace, who are in stigated by fanatical Priests. The decision of the Court of Vienna upon these complaints is expeEted with great impatience. ASCHAFFENBOURG, JULY z6.—Yesterday at half past five o'clock in the evening, died, His Serene Highoess the ELECTOR of MErrz, aged 84. years. STUTTGARD ) JULY 24.—The German Journals announce, that a new Convention has been con cluded respecting the changes which are about to take place in the Constitution of the Empire. The object of the Treaty is the organization of the Three Colleges, the Votes which are to be assigned to the Hereditary Princes according to the Indemnities they receive, and the suppression of all those apper taining to Countries now united to France. It is also stated, that the new Germanic Con. stitution, according to the wish intimated by France, will be guaranteed by France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, the great Prelatures will be united as Hereditary Domains to the territories of those Princes to whom they are to serve as Indemnities, and theolittle Ecclesiastical States will be converted into Public Foundations, under the Sovereignty of the same Princes. The six Imperial Cities will form a College, but will have no Vote in the affairs of Peace and War, and will be hence forth treated as Neutrals. The Diet will not de liberate on the contents of this Convention until the affairs of the Indemnities shall be terminated. THE DUTCH" MAIL, VIENNA, juLy 17. AcCOEDING to accounts ftom Transylvania, the retreat of the Rebels from Wallachia has prov., ed to he merely a feint, as they soon again made their appearance, and even committed ravages on the Frontiers on this side, but were repulsed by the Austrian Troops of• the Regiment of Splen, after a short engagement. On complaint being made to PASSWAN OGLOU, of this violation of the Austrian Territory, he returned for answer, that all the Troops who gave themselves out for his, were not his ; and that. those who committed any ra vages on the Austrian Frontiers, were banditti and robbers, and should be treated as such. Orders have, in the mean time, been sent to several Aus trian Regiments on. the Turkish Frontiers, to hold themselves in readiness to march. According to some accounts, the brother of the late Hospodar of Moldavia, Prince MICHAEL Suzzo, has been murdered by the• Rebels, and Bucharest taken possession of by the Troops of PAsswAx OGLOU; the latter report, however, re quires confirmation. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 2. GIORGI OSMANN, who has returned to his obe dience to the Porte, has been promoted to he a Pacha of Three Tails, and has received the Govern. meat of Sifistria. The deposed Hospodar of Wallachia, Prince Mt. cHAEL Suzzo, has carried away with him great riches, hut it is not probable that he will he able to enjoy them in peace. His creditors have already arrested him in Transylvania. He is said to have been only solicitous to make his escape in time from Bucharest with his treasures. The Capitan Paella has advanced with a consi derable Corps, which daily receives reinforcements. He has fixed his Headquarters at Dand-pascha. PAsswAN OGLOU has again made offers of accommo dation. ITALY, TULY tz. IT is now settled that the KING OF SARDINIA shall receive, on the continent of Italy, the terri tory between the Po and Sesia, including the Par mesan, and that the remainder of Piedmont will be united to France. FLORENCE, JULY 6. TO-DAY Te Deum was performed here, on account of the restoration of our Sovereign's health. His MAJESTY yesterday received the homage and oaths of his Subjets. According to accounts from the Roman Ter ritory, the French Troops on the 82th ult. at length evacuated Ancona. The next day the Papal Troops entered ; and the Inhabitants expressed their joy at this change by a general illumination of the City. The arms of the City of Naples have undergone a change since the return of the King. They were before a large P. in a field or and gules ; but now contain three Bourbon lilies. HAGUE, lULY 24' Yesterday our Legislative Body, which was not to have met till Otiober, was unexpeaedly sum moned by the Direaory to meet on the zd of August. The cause of this is the near approach of the important moment when the Indemnifica tions in Germany, our own Indemnifications for the Territory ceded to France, and the aas which have relation to the renunciation of the Stadtholdership by the PRINCE‘Of ORANGE, toge ther with other stipulations of the Peace of Amiens, will be finally adjusted, and carried into execution. It will be remembered, that when the Procession proclaiming Peace passed the New Church in the Strand, a person on the cop of it, leaning on one of the stone urns, it fell over and killed one man be low. The urn was fastened on by a spoke of wood which was rotten. Since that time the church has been ordered to be repaired, and this work is now proceeding. Yesterday a man at work on the top of the Church, happened to touch the stone urn on the North.west corner next Little Drury-lane, and it fell over. It came down upon the top of the iron rails below, and a splinter flew off, which struck a man so violent a blow on the back," - that lie was carried to a Surgeon's speechless. He was imme diately put to bed, and the proper steps taken for his recovery. The splinter came down first. It was about the size of a common plate. The vio lence of the bkw tearing the back of his coat, came on his loins, and knocked the poor man into street, flat on his face, which is much bruised, where he lay for some time speechless. The vase followed the dired course of the splinter, and rolled into the street without doing any mischief. The vase that fell was the only one on that side of the Church.— All the rest were removed in the course of the day. This forenoon about eleven o'clock, a decently dressed man was apprehended in Exeter-'Change; accused of having picked a Gentleman's pocket as he was walking along the Strand. A child fell out of a first floor window in Little Brook -street, near the New road, yesterday morn ing, but pitching upon its head in an unpaved yard where the ground was soft, it fortunately escaped with only a contusion which is not likely to pro. duce any fatal consequence. On Tuesday , afternoon a smart looking woman went into the shop of a Haberdasher in Holborn to purchase some trifling article, which she paid fo,r and left the shop, when immediately the shopm:in missed a card of black lace, value 61. He went in pursuit of her, but his pursuit was inefTetqual. The same afternoon a Gentleman passing near the Obelisk, St. George's-fields, had his pocket picked of Bank Notes and Bills of Exchange to the amount 2+71. with which the thief got clear off. There are three Serjeants now in the Garrison or Citadel of Hull, about to be discharged, whose ages are 80, 68, and 6o years ; and who have served 64, 46, and 44 years rearedively. MONS. G I RNE 11,1 THE following account has been transmitted to us by that Gentleman : The ascension I made yesterday from Vauxhall, was unquestionably performed in the most favour able weather experienced this season. The day was so calm and serene that I should have been glad of that opportunity to make the experiment of the Parachute, which seems to have fixed more particularly the expeCiation and interest of the Public. Anxious to gratify curiosity on this occasion, and to shew my eagerness and ackno•a ledgments on this first arid only opportunity, I male the offer, which was rejected. The calm of the day assisted much in the operaa Lion of filling my Balloon. At five it was ready to ascend, and remained on the platform ereded for the purpose, till the signal was given. A quarter after seven was the rime Madame GARNERIN and Mr. GLASSFORD seated themselves in the Car will me, and we gradually -ascended, under the rtnat flattering auspices, and with the plaudits of a gad nerous multitude surrounding, whose unanimaua. approbation has raised amonument that will be ever dear to my 'pride and gratitude. After having cleared the trees, we perceived an immense number of speaators, which enlivened, beyond the po;sibie lity of description, the beautiful picture of the Metropolis, which we explored at an elevation of 200 yards. Having obtained this height, I launched a cat with a parachute, in miniature, which encom a passed a column of air 38 inches and a half in its basis. The.descent was gradual, and the cat tell, with its little vehicle, in the garden of a man who insists on receiving three t aenineas as an inclemniii cation for the trespass committed by poor puss, or at least its piture, with the parachute. Unaler such well-grounded pretences, I have this very moment received a letter from a Mr. C. of Hampstead, desiring, that I should " appoint a Surveyor immediately, to ascertain the damages done to his premises, in consequence of my descent and trespass on them yesterday evening with my Balloon, which; when estimated, Mr. C. presumes I will instantly reimburse." Digression aside, I return to my Cat anditsPa rachute ; the experiment with which, by proving sufficiently the elasticity of the air, must do away the uneasiness which my own descent, by means of a parachute of a greater magnitude might excite ; an experiment which, I trust, will take place be tween this and the loth inst. Having thrown away some ballast, the Balloon went up progressively, al.. though it appeared stationary. However, the dilata tion of the inflammable air, caused by the diminu tion of the weight of the atmosphere, compelled me to open the valve. According to the barometer, we were then at the height of 300 yards. The temperature being nine degrees lower, the inflama mable gas condenseditself, and the Balloon was sea sibly lowering on the Thames, so as to make people believe that our Balloon was coming down upon it, which was clearly perceivable by the movements of the numberless boats which were put in motion, in order to proteet the descent. I should most certainly have performed it, had I been by myself, in order to reascead, and prove thereby how little dangerous it is to descend on a river. .EverY' one will readily conceive that the regard due to the timidity of a young woman, and of a newly initiated aeronaut, made me rtjea the thought. Having made a proper use of my bal. last, and being seconded by a degree of •dilata. tion which the inflammable air received from the warmer temperature we were then in, we rose sen sibly above St. James's-park, and reached an ele vation of 4.00 yards, when I set at liberty a pigeon carrier, which immediately took an unsettled direc tion, and seemed wandering wild for a time ; we at last lost sight of him, and I am informed that ,he returned to his nest at night. I have often -in for mer ascensions let loose, at the height of 1500 yards, birds which were seen flying about my ma.. chine, and came at last to perch on my car, in a state of stupefaaion and drowsiness, the most ex. traordinary. When above Westminster Abbey, we were seve rally engaged with the sensations which affected each of us most.—The curiosity of my travelling companions led them more particularly to the oh servati nof sounds. They oh creed the sensible evaporation of the noise coming from the earth, al. though we were not at a great height. This effetf, which is produced by the ratification of the air, proves the use of trifling philosophical experiments on the constitution of the atmosphere, where so many changes are felt in rapid succession. It hap.- . pens, sometimes, that inexperienced aerial travel_ lers are led into error on account of the sounds pro duced, when the lower part of tile Balloon offers ca. vities tolerably regular, and of an extent equal not only to the reflection of the voice of the aerial tra vellers, but susceptible even to reflect the sounds which come from the surface of the earth. Such is the effect which constitutes the magic attributes of. the Invisible Girl: ?r' Invited by the serenity of the atmosphere, I kept my travelling companions at a moderate distance from the earth. But, it becoming late, I was under the necessity of landing, which I effeded, , at the time and place mentioned in all the Papers, with the assistance of a few very polite individuals.— Notwithstanding the annoyance of the mob, I fold ed, after inexpressible toils, my Balloon, which has been since brought to the Pantheon, where ,Mrs. GARNER TN attends in person, in order to answer the questions, and to acknowledge the kind interest, and peculiar marks of attention she was honoured with at her return to Vauxhall. GARNERIN G Aagast 4, Igoe. It is said, that the beautiful Palace and Gardens of Chantilly having been advertised to be sold, one of the most augfest Personages of the French Republic immediately disposed of a cumber of very fine Brazil diamonds for 3,500,000 livres, This sum will, it is imagined, be laid out' in the rur.. chase of Chantilly, which will then be made a pre sent of tc-Madame Mu RAT. The quantity of rain that fell during the last month was equal to 5887. inches in depth ; and nearly equal to all that foil between Christmas-day last and the zith of May.,
