The Commission having made its report on the sth of April, at eight o'clock in the evening, the Constitution was adopted unanimously. _ LOUIS STANISLAUS XAvIER is restored to the wishes of the French by a Constitutional Charter, equally advantageous to the People and the Royal Family destined to govern them: Before such great news all other intelligence fades away. But it is our .duty to give an ac count of the events that preceded it. COItRayONDENCE WITH MARSHAL MARMONT. Here follows a letter, dated April 3, frOm ,the Prince of Schwartzenberg to Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa, inviting him to accede to the Decree by which Napoleon Buonaparte is declar ed to have forfeited the Throne, and to pass with his troops under the new Government. Marshal Marmont, in his reply to the Prince, expresses his willingness to contribute to the in terests of France, which have ever been his first wish, but requires as a guarantee, " That all troops quitting the standard of Na poleon Buonaparte snail have leave to pass freely , into Normandy. " And that if the events of the war shall place Buonaparte a prisoner in the hands of the Allies, the Prince shall guarantee his life and safety, and that he shall be sent to a country chosen by the Allied Powers and the French Government." In reply to this letter the Prince of Schwartzen berg accedes to the deniand of a guarantee, pro mises Life and safety to Napoleon Buonaparte, and compliments the Marshal upon the generosity of his character. Marshal ..Marmont then passed with his corps of 12,000 men within the lines of the Allies, on their route to Versailles. Next follows a letter train General Lucotte to his corps, dated Corbeil, sth April, in which he says, the Emperor Napoleon has announ c ed to the army, that being cons id ere d as the only ob stacle to peace, he is ready to renounce his crown in favour of his son and the Empress Regent : he therefore requires his troops to preserve ofrder and Wait the event.'' - LETFE R OF MARSHAL NEY TO TAL LE Y RAND, This is succeeded by the following letter from Marshal Ney, Prince of Moskwa, to the Prince of Benevento, Chief of the Provisional Govern ment :--- "My Lord,—l proceeded to Paris yesterday with Marshal the Duke of Tarentum and the Duke of Vicenza, with full powers to the Emperor of Russia to defend the interests of the dynasty 'ot the Emperor Napoleon. An unforeseen event br o k e off the negociations, which seemed at first to promise a favourable termination. From that time I saw that to save our dear country from the frightful evil: of civil war,.it remained only for the French to embrace the cause of our an:.!i-ent Kings, and I repaired to-night to the Emperor Napoleon to manifest this wish. " The Emperor, convinced of the critical situa tion in which he had placed France, and the im possibility of saving her himself, has appeared disposed to resign, and to give in his full and en tire abdication. To-morrow I hope to have from him the formal and authentic act, and shall soon afterwards have the honour of waiting upon your Lordship. I am, &c. (Signed) " Prince of MOSKWA.

" The occupation of the Capital by the enemy is a nsisfor time which deeply afflicts the heart of his Majesty, ffom which; however, there is nothing to apprehend. The presence (tithe Emperor and his army at the gates of Paris will prevent the enemy from committing his usual excesses in so populous a city, which it is impossible to retain without rendering his position extremely dangerous, Besides, it prevents him from detaching anything but light troops for infesting the neigh bouring department*.

Upon the occasion of the assurance given to the Senate by the Emperor Alexander to set at liberty all the French prisoners of war within his states, the Senate, deeply affected by this act of magnanimity, which is to restore so many unfor tunate men to their families, decrees, that the Provisional Government shall be invited to take all the necessary measures to accelerate their re turn. The Senate also decrees, to consecrate in their Registers the remembrance of such great magnanimity. The Senate recalls into its bosom all the absent Senators, except those whose presence shall be judged useful in the Departments. The present Decree shall be transmitted to the Provisional Government fo'r execution. M. the President communicates to the Assem bly several letters which it bad received from dif ferent Members of the Senate. Four of the letters, written under the date of the 4th of April instant, contain the adhesion of SenatorsD'Aboville, Francis de Neufcheteau, Le noir Laroche, and Shee, to the measures adopted by the Senate in its preceding Sittings. Senators Lejeas, Legrand, and Fallet-l3arol, excuse themselves by three letters, of the same date-, being unable, on account of ill health, to at• tend the sittings of the Senate. M. Senator Count Larnbrecht read the projet of the New Constitution, revised and adopted by the Senate, in the following terms The Conservative Senate considering that a constitutional Monarchy exists only by virtue of the Constitutio• i , or Social Pact : That Napoleon Buonaparte, during some time of a firm and prudent Government, had given to the nation grounds to reckon in future upon acts of wisdom and justice ; but that he has since de stroyed the compact which united hint to the French people ; particularly in levying imposts and establishing taxes, otherwise than in virtue of the law, contrary to the express tenor of the oath which he had taken on his accession to the throne, conformable with the 53d article of the Act of the Constitution of the 28th Foreal, year 12: That he has committed this infringement upon the rights of th e people, e v en when he adjQyrned, without necessity, the Legislative Body, and sup pressed, as criminal, a report of that Body, whose title and share in the national representation he disputed : , T a hat he has undertaken series of wars in vio lation of the Fiftieth Article of the Act of the Constitution of the 22d Frimaire, year eight, which requires that the declaration of war should be proposed, discussed, decreed, and proalulgatecl, as laws are : That he has unconstitutionally passed several Decrees, inflicting the penalty of death, particu larly the two Decrees of the sth March last, tend in., to have considered as national a war which. had no ground but in the gratification of his own immeasurable ambition That he has violated the constitutional laws by his Decrees upon the State Prisons : That he has annihilated the responsibility of Ministers, confounded all the 'powers, and de stroyed the independence of the Judicial Bodies Considering that the liberty of the press, esta blished and consecrated as one of the rights of the nation,, has been constantly subjected, to the arbi trary censure of his police, and that at the same time he has always availed himself of the press to fill France and Europe with fabrications, false maxims, doctrines favourable to despotism, and outrages against foreign Governments : The acts and reports approved by the Senate have undergone alterations in • their publication by him : Considering that, instead of reigning for the sole view of the interest, happiness, and glory of the French people, according to the terms of his oath, Napoleon has completed the niisfor►unes of the country, by his refusal to treat upon condi tions which the national interest required him to accept, and which did not compromise the honour of France : By the abuse which he has committed of all the means confided to him in men and m one y ; by forsaking wounded without dressing, without sup port, without subsistence : By various measures, the consequences of which were, the'ruin of cities, the depopulation of the country, famiae, and contagious diseases : Considering that, by reason of all these causes, 'CHANGE, TUESDAY, OtiE O'CLOCK.

Many Merchants and others have already gone from Dover to Calais, but they are not permitted to proceed further—indeed, there was some diffi culty in entering the town. Mr. Mlirz, the Alessenger, arrived at the Fo reign Office, Downing-street, early this morn ing, but he has not, we understand, bough any Dispatches of importance. We have this day given copious extracts from French Papers to the sth, one day later than those from which We selected the chief articles of intel ligence on Saturday and yesterday. They ,are possessed, as might well be expected, of very con si.derable interest. The motives of the Senate for the deposition of the Tyrant are temperately stated, and yet they enumerate such a'multitude of ' crimes, and variety of guilt, that even we are asto nished at the extent of this'Miscreant's atrocity. It would seem that I\l.llo.toigT, acting upon a very romantic and false notion of generosity, con ditioned for the life of BUONAPARTE before be consented to adhere to the new order of things, and carry his corps of 12,000 over from the side of the Usurper. We yesterday pretty fully ex plained our opinions upon the subject of the in demnification fur villany, and amnesty for mur der, extended to the most atrocious offender that ever disgraced a throne, in the person of this Cor sican Renegade.
