'1 he NfoNiteur of the tst contains an Exposition of the state of the French Empire, as pre. seined to the Legislative Body. We have extracted from it so much as relates to the foreign relations of France,and to theassertions which it contains relative to her successes. The rest is of minor importance, and it merely contains, as usual, a flourishing pic. ture of the internal state of the Imperial Republic. In speaking of England, it resorts, in substance, lb the old assertion, of the whole of the Treaty of Amiens, and nothing but the Treaty of Amiens. France, it is said, will never consent to any other conditions than those of that Treaty. There is not, however, so much .gasconade as in some former produCtions of A similar description. The Speech of BONA!' MitTlt on the opening of the Session of the Legislative Body is not e in the Paper' which we have received; but we may form a judgment of its tenor from the Address of the Legislative Body in answer to his Speech. After the usual gross and disgusting flattery, the Address prodeeeds*...." But if, like you, this generous people (meaning the people of France) are ready for War, like joie tiny only desire Peace.— Franca is too prudent to give up its legitimate rights ; it is too strong to exaggerate its pretan. lions, Your Majesty has declared, that you will not increase the territory of France, but that you will maintain its integrity. These words ought to take away all pretexts from our Enemies." The only other article of any importance is art Extra of a Letter from Cadiz, in the ilfstfireur, hinting at an attack upon Gibraltar. Wa have nothing more to communicate to our Readers respelling the Dispatches received from France; but we are surprised to find that some of our Cotemporaries continue to deny the accuracy of out statement, in terms not very consistent with liberality or politeness. We shall not at present enter into any altercation with them. upon the sob. ject, but shall content ,otirselves with expressing our firm convidiun, that before Many hours haie elapsed, our opponents will find our intelligence authenticated in a way that must remove cvcry particle of doulat.

A Yfebsage was read from the Emperor, announc. ing that M. CtrAgrAcNy, Minister of the Interior, and REGNMID and LAc u It, Councillors of State, had been appointed to present the Exposition of the State of the Empire. EXPOSITION OF THE STATE OF FRANCE. M. CHAMFACNY- 4 4 Gentlemen, in consequence of the narration which has just been announced to you, I have the honour to lay before you the present State of the French Empire. 1, The internal state of France is at present what it was in times of the greatest tranquillity; there is no movement that can alarm the public repose ; no crime that belongs to revolutionary recollettien every useful enterprise, every where the smeliora. tion of public and private property, attests the pro. dress of confidence and security. _ " The leaven of opinion no longer irritates men's minds, The sentiment of general interest, the prin. ciples of social order, better known, and more pure, have attached all hearts to the common prosperity, This is what all the Administrators have proclaimed; this has been recognized by the Emperor in all the Departments he has visited ; this has just been de. monstrated in the most , signal manner. All the At. mica have beheld themselves at once separated from their Generals ; all the military Corps from their Chiefs ; the superior Tribunals, deprived of their first Magistrates, the Public Ministry from its first organs; the Churches from their principal Pastors ; the towns, the fields, abandoned at once by all that had power and influence over the peop ; the people every where left to their own genius ; and the peo. plc every where desirous of order and the laws. " At the same moment the Sovereign Pontiff was traversing France. From the borders of the Po to the banks of the Seine, he has been the ob. jed of a religious homage, which has been paid him with love and respeft by that immense majority, who, faithful to the old doftrine, see a common fa. char, and believe in him, whom all Europe reveres as a Sovereign raised to the Throne by his piety and his virtues. 61 A plot framed by an implacable Government was about to re.plunge,France into the abyss of civil wars and anarchy. At the discovery of this horrid plot all France was alarmed. Inquietudes, scarcely lulkd to rest, were again awakened, and in every mind were found at once those principles which have been those of all wise men, and which were always ours before error and imbecility had alienated the mind, and criminal intrigues had misled the upi. nions. (M.CHM,trAGNY here entered into a long view of the internal state of France, which is of less int. portance to this country than that part which relates to her external situation. He dwelt upon the ne. cessity of the Imperial Dignity being made heredi. tary—upon the august ceremony of the Carona. doe, an 4 the pious demeanour of BottArieva.—. he mentioned that the Criminal Code was under discussion in the Council of State. He stated that Schools of Legislation were about to be established; that the internal works for the,improvement pf the roads, &c. •had been carried pp ; that agricul. ture and the manufadures were in a rapid state of improvement ; that trade had become more naive, and that religion h a d resume d bet sway.) -44 Such is our position at home—abroad French Courage, seconded by Spanish loyalty, preserves St. 'Domingo to us, Martinique braves the menaces of the Enemy, and under a paternal Government, the ties which attach her to the Mother Country are becoming more permanent and strong. " Guadaloupe is enriched by the spoils of Bri. tish Commerce ; and Cayenne continues to prosper under an active and vigorous Arninistration. if The Mauritius will now be the keg of the riches of Asia. London would have been in con. vtilsion and despair, if weakness or inexperience had not prevented the execution of a plan the most skilfully concerted. But still the Mauritius is ten. tiered flourishing by the prizes we have taken from Enemies. " Our Armies are ever worthy of their reputation; with the same valour, and the same discipline, they have acquired that patience which awaits occasions without murmuring , and which trusts to the pru. deuce and the designs of the Chief who leads them. Our Soldiers, our Officers learn to subdue the element which separates them from that Island, the object of all their resentment. Their audacity and address astonish the oldest and most experienced seamen. al Our Fleets, in continual mantruvres, prepare for combat ; and whil st those of our Enemies are decaying, in their contests with winds and tem. pebto, ours are learning, without running that risk, to contend against them. it In fine, since the Vittr, vie have gained Flan yer we are mare thus ever in a condition to aim I.lcciiive blows sr our enzmits. Our Marine is in a better qate thio it hat been for time ten years p by land our Army more flatways, and in a better c, dition ; more supplied with all that gives vifta►y than it has e'er been. " In the Finance department, the same aelivity exists in the receipts, the same regularity in the OIL ces, the same order in the Administration of Re, venue ; and almost always the same steadiness in the value of the Public Debt. U The War :endued fresh expences and ex' raordinary expences necessary ; but they have been incurred on our own soil, and have given us ships, ports, and all that is necessary to the development of our force against our enemies. " These extraordinary expences have now COI.. CI; and those which our warlike attitude require, will in future be co n d u ct e d w i t h an econom y which the urgency of the p re p arat i ons necessary to attack and defence did not p erm i t . 41 The Revenues o f t h e C rown w ill support a ll the expences of the Co ronat i on o f t h e E mperor , and those which the splendour of the Throne demands. The (dirt that surrounds it will never be a bother' to the Nation. The situation of Enrol-4e has experienced an kn. portant change. " Spain, reposed in a neutrality which Ftailce had consented to, and the British Cabinet had acknow• ledged—on a sudden her Ships are attacked, Ind' the Treaty of Amiens has been violated with re. opal to her as it had been with respeft to France• His Catholic Majesty has adopted the determine. tion which the dignity of his house, violated faith , and the honour of a generous Nation, whose des• tiny he (bream, commandos). " The Emperor of Austria consecrates to the restoration of his Finances, to the prosperity of his Provinces, and the progress of their Commerce , that repose which has been suggested to him by the fidelity of his charader and the interest of his subjette. I. The Italian Republic, administered and god verned on the same principles as France, demands* like her, a definitive organization, which shall insure to the present and future generations all thy advantages of the social cornpad. United to that Republic by the duties which arc imposed upon him both as President and as Founder of that State, the Emperor will answer the confidence she has reposed in him, and will insure her destinies anti her independence in serving the interests of the Fiends People, to whom she owes her existence, and in conciliating the interests of both with thO neighbouring Powers. By these changes, which aro called for by the' wiihea of one Nation and the in. terest of all, absurd calumnies will be annihilated, And France, having herself raised barriers where she has placed her limits, will no longer be accusc4 wishing to exceed them, is Helvetia enjoys in peace the benefits of its constitution, of the wisdom of its citizens, and of our alliance, tr Batavia still groans under an oligarchic Go' vernment, without union in its views, without pa , triotistu, and without vigour. Her colonies have been sold a second time, and delivered up, without firing a shot, to England ; but the Nation has ener' gy, morals, and econony, and wants nothing but a Government firm, patriotic, and enlightened. it The King of Prussia, on all occasions, has 61100 himself the friend of Faance; and the Emperor seizes all those occasions which present themselves of coll' solidating that happy harmony. " The EleCtors, and all the Members of the Ger' manic Body, faithfully maintain the relations °I benevolence and friendship which unite them to France. 6 ' Denmark pursues a policy always wise/ 114 ' dente, and judicious. " The apirit of CATHAItt NB the Great w i ll awaken the councils of AL EXAND the ist :" he via recollatthat the friendship of France is to hign necessary counterpoise in the balance of gureP e that placed far from her, he can neither attack not trouble her repose; and that his great interest is g° find in his relations with her a necessary matt 1(3/ the produdions of his Empire. " Turkey is vacillating in her policy : she (01# lows, through fear, a system which her interest als‘ avows. May skt not learn, at the expence of her existence, that fear and uncertainty accelerate t he fall of Empires a thousand times snore sorrowfully than the dangers and losses of an unfortunate War!. Whatever msy be the movements of England► the dehtinice of rrance are fixed : strong in her union, strong in ter riches and the courage of h er defenders, she faithfully maintain the allia nce of friendly Natiols, and will neither deserve eae' mice nor fear then. " When Englaid shall be convinced of the failu re of her e ff orts to a gi tate the Cont i nent- - w hen 14 e finh that sly! can ovly be a loser in a War with oll` end and without mitives—when she shall be 46 : . 11; vinced that Francs will never accept any °tut conditions titan Cole of Amiens. and will never r 1.017.
