At that moment the Prince Arch-Chancellor proclaimed the ,result of the Notes, importing; that the Additional Act of the Constitutions of the Empire is accepted by almost an unanimity ci votes (the' number of Negative Notes. was 4206). The Chief Herald'at Arms, by the commind-of his Majesty, signified through his Excellency the Grand Master of Ceremonies, .said.— In the name of the Emperor, I deelare.tbat the Additional Act of the Constitutions of the Empire has been accepted by the French people." New acclamations burst from all quarters. The Grand Chamberlain having caused d table on which was placed the Additional Act, to he carried before the Throne, his Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor put the pen into the hands of Prince Joseph, who presented it to the Emperor, and his Majesty ratified by his signa ture the Act for the promulgation of the Consti- tution. The table being withdrawn, the Emperor, seated and covered, spoke in these terms : '" Gentlemen, the Electors of the Colleges of the Departments and of the Arrondisements, " Gentlemen the Deputies of the Navy and Armv of the Champ de Mai, " Emperor, Consul, Soldier, I hold every thing of the People.—ln prosperity, in adversity—on the field of battle—in the Council', on the Thi one,• in exile, France was the sok and constant object. of my thoughts and my actions. " Like the Athenian King,. I sacrificed myself for my people, in the hope of seem, realised the promise which was given to preserve France in her natural integrity, her honours, and her rights. - " The indignation at seeing these, sacred rights, acquired by the victories of twenty-five years, overlooked and lost for ever—the cry of the de caying honour of France—the wishes of the na tion, recalled me to that throne which is dear to me, because it is the palladium of the indepen, dence—of the honour, and of the rights. of the people. " Frenchmen !—ln traversing amid piiblic re joicing the different provinces or the Empire, to reach my capital, I could not h t reckon upon A long peace;---nations- are homiii by the tr..aties concluded by their Governments, whatever they may be. " My Mind was then entirely devoted to the means of founding our liberty by a Constitution conformable to the interest and inclination of the people.—l have convoked the Champ de Mai. " I soon learnt that Princes, who have broken down all principles, fettered the ()Pinion and the dearest interests of so many nations, 'wish to tiiake war against us. They meditate the aggran dizement of the Kingdmit of the Netherlands—to give it for harriers all our strong holds in the North,' and to conciliate the differences which still subsist among them, by partitioning , among theMselves Lorraine and Alsace. It has been necessary to prepare for war. " However, before exposing myself to the per sonal hazards of battles, my firit solicitude wao to constitute the nation Without delay. The people has accepted the Act which I have presented to them. " Frenchmen ! when we shall have repulsed these ` unjust aggressions, and* when Europe will be convinced of what is due to the rights and in depenilence of 28 millions of Frenchmen, a so lemn law, Made according to the firms Prescribed by the Constitutional Act, •till unite the different dispositions of our Constitutions, 'which are as yet scatterer'.. " Frenchmen, you go to return to your depart . Tell the citizens that *the circumstances are are great !! ! That with union, energy and per severance, we shall come from the struggle, of a MCntS. great people against its oppressors ; that future girieratiops, will severely scrutinize our con duct ; that a nation has lost all when it has lost its independence.—Tell them that foreign Kings whom I have , raised to the throne, or who are indebted to me for the pre servation of their crown—all of whom, in tha season of my prosperityhave,sue4 for my alliance, and for the protection of the French people, do this day direct all their blows against my person. If I did not see that it is the country which they alm at,, 1 should place at their mercy this life, on the destruction of which - they shot, themselves so obstinately bent.—But tell the citizens like. wise, that as long as the French will preserve for me those sentiments of lore which they so strongly prove, that rage of our enemies will be impotent. tv Frenchmen !--My is tbnt of the people; ri&its are theirs; honour, my .glory, my happinesi, Can only be the honour and glory and happiness of France." It ‘votild be clitnctilt to describe' the emotion , which was ritanife - sted on every countenance at the accents of his Majesty, and the prolonged shouts hat tolloiireci his spiech. Then the - Bishop of Bourges, First Almoner, and performing the fnnctia►is of Grand Almoner . , approached the th'one, and presented on his knees the Holy Evvingelists to Empeidr, who took the oath in these terms : " I swat. to observe the Constitution§ of the Empire, and to cause them to be Observed.". The Prilieb Arch-Chancellor, advUncing to the lock of the thrOne, firSt pronounced the Oath of Obedience to the Constittitions, and fidelity to the Emperor.---4he whole assembly etied 7 -." We swear i" [The. aCcount then' • states, that during the Speech and the Oath. the Members of. the Deputa tion, instead of returning to their places in the in closure, sat dowti on . the steps of the throne; — that after the oath, TeD euni was sung ; that then the Eaglei destined, for the National Guards were distributed to the Members of the Electoral Col leges Buonaparte then addressed the troops as follows : " Soldiers of the National Guarj, and of the - Naval and Military Forces ! "I intrust to you the Imperial Eagle on the Naticinal Colours ; you swear to defend it at the price of your blood, - against the eneniles of the country and of the t_llrone ! You swear that it will be always your rallying signal ! You swear !' Cries, nnivefsrdly prolonged, of e‘ We swear it," 'resounded In theiticlosure. [The account then states, that the. National Guard of Paris and-Imperial Guards haying sur rounded' the throne, were addressed by Brionaparte in these words :—] •' Soldiers of the National Guard of Pari!—Soldiers of the Imperial Guard! " I intrust to you the imperial eagle on the national eOlours. You swear to perisk, if oeces sary, in its delcncc, against the enemies of the country and of the throne"—the Whole of that army, grouped round the throne, interrOined the Emperor with cries ; a thousand tines repeated— ', w e swear it !" • " You swear never to acknowledge any other ' rallying signal—(Cries again of " We swear it !") You soldiers of the National Guard of Paris, you swear never to alloy the foreigner to pollute aaew the eipital of the Great Nation. It is, to •your bravery that ishall trust it—(the cried " We swear it !" repeated a thousand and - a thoniand times.) And you, Soldier§ of the Imperial GuM'cl, you swear to surpass yourselves iii_ the campaign which is about to open, and to die every one sooner . than permit the foreigner again to come and dic tate laws to the. country.". (The cries ‘i We swear it !" rent the air, and resOtihded over the whole extended Space of the Chatiip de Mars). The account then states that the Emperor, after. the troops. had defiled before him, went into the Military School, and thence entered his carriage, and retn,roed with all the retinue to the Thuilleriei. An Imperial Decree, dated June 1, convoke'S the Chamber of Peers and ,Representati'vei for the 3d of June. • - . Another Deeree of the 2Gth May contains an • order for the regulations and ceremonies that are to attend the meeting of the Chambers of Peers RIO Representatives. The Courier 'Extraordinary of the Gazette de .France of 'the 2d June contains ai follows i— • " New troops have just set out for the Depart nients of the West. " The Emperor has ordered all the Communes in the neighbourhood of Paris to be put in a'state of defence." The Courier Extraordinary of the 3d June con tains the following Collections of insurgents are formed in the Morbihan. Th - e National Guards of L'Osient are marching to disperse them. " The Imperial Guard marches on Monday. " The Queen of Naples and her children are expected at Compeigne. - " They write from Rochelle on the 27th May,., that the Chiefi of La Vendee came to the head quarters of General Tray ot, olrei ing to submit, and that all the Emigrants should lay down their. atihs, " Two field-equipages are prepared for the tm peror,'who, it is believed, will set out on Sunday." The illoniteur ut Saturday says, in a•letter from the Danube, that hostilities. cannot commence be. fore July :—the French funds have further fallen to ,551, the best lilustration that can be given of the effect of .the ceremony in the Champ de Mai :—the head-quarters of the :grand , army of the Rhine ,have been-transferred . front Stras burgh to 1 - 14guenan,.,MO all ER .and Rare com mand thiS force --There is a list of numerous sports and gambols which were to take place last Sunday in Champs Elysees.

This happened in the Jiction off the coast of France, in which he captured a French squadron of four fine frigates. Sir Samut, Hoop i was one of the Representatives of the City of Westminster in 1806. it is, not true, as stated in some of the public prints, that the Duke of DEVONSHIRE danced at Mr. JoNEs's.

DREADFUL FURE.—This morning, about one o'oclock, a most alarming fire broke out in Sad. tilers' Hall, Cheapside. It seems ,to have coin tnenced In A kitchen underneath the Hall, as it was first perceived bursting out under the door. The windows and door; of several - houses adjoining were broken by . the watchmen 'and others before any of tbe inhabitants a'.voke to perceive their danger: The door of that part from which the fire was perCeived was burst open by a gentleman who, happened to he present ; butt io 'I cons - equence of the violence of the - 'flames , it could not then be entered. Several engines were soon collected, and the progress or the devouring element was speedily- checked, thong') from the considerable time it burned hef - ,re it was discovered, very little of what waS f" , the pi e mises has been saved.
