punish the English Ministry for their culpable refusal to give to the world, Which would be greatly adVan tageous and honourable to her, that peace for which the world sighs. " These are the noble thoughts, the generous pro- ) jeers that his Majesty confides to the Senate and to , the Nation, the execution of which still requires, the concurrence of every will. It is to ensure their rea lization that the conscription of 1807 is to be this moment called for by you, Senators, in the same man ner as when, i months since, you called out the conscription of 1806. " This measure, as extraordinary as the present circumstances of Europe, will produce the same i and still more happy effeas than the last year. " The conscripts who have marched have aided in the conquest of kingdoms—those who are going to _follow them will assist in conquering peace. " You will hasten for them the epoch of devotion and of combat—they will hasten for their country that of peace and gratitude. This is the Projet of the Senatus Consulturn which his Majesty has ordered to be laid before you." The Senate referred the examination of the Pro jet, and the Report was made upon his Majesty's Message, to a Committee, which bad been nomi nated during the Sitting, composed of the Senators M. M. LACEPEDE, GARAT, BARTpELEMY,,VALENCE, and PEREE. SITTING OF DEC. 4. This day :be Committee appointed on the 2d in stant sent in the following Report by the Senator LAtEPEbE Monseigneur—Senators ! You S have sent' to your Special Committee the Message which has been addressed to you by his Imperial and Royal Igajesty, from his head-quarters at Berlin, and which Jaas been communicated by his Highness the Prince Rich-Chancellor of the Empire. " You have sent to your Special Committee the iinperial Decree, together with the two Reports of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, annexed to his 11$ajesty's Message ; and a, Projet relative to the Military Conscriptionfor fEiO7, which I am going to read. " Yout Committee have unanimously agreed, that the Senate ought to hasten the adoption of the PrOjet of the Senatus Consultant; which has been proposed to you, and of which the motives, so well deVeloped by the Orator's of Government, are explained in so admirable a manner in the Message of his Imperial and Royal. Majesty. " Your Committee think that they cannot better Second the sentiments which this memorable Mes sage has excited than by proposing to you to offer to his Imperial Majesty, in anAddtess which the Com rnittee has ordered me to submit to you, the homage of your profound devotion, your lively and respeet ful gratitude. " I have, therefore, the honour to propose to the Senate, in the name of your Special Committee, to adopt; First, the Projet of the Senatus Consultum, re latiVe td the Military Conscription. Secondly, the Projet of the Decree, and also the Address that I shall have the honour to present to you." The Report was accordingly adopted, and the two doCuments wilt• be 'published when his Majesty, to. whom they have been transmitted, 'Shall have given orders for that purpose. PARIS, Nov. 24.—The ceremony of laying the I first stone of the new front of the Palace for the Sittings of the Legislative Body was conduced with great pomp'. ' The President of the, Legislative Body made a long speech on the occasion, in :which he stated, « that this was a homage paid , by the Em petor himself to the French Nation. It was pleas ing to see the Conqueror of Europe pay honours to that People withwhom he had triumplied - over all others. A taste for public edifices and national magnifieence always chara&erised heroes and great Princes. While foreign Sovereigns, pursued by the French .armies, were driven from their capitals, • they were in tranquillity embellishing that city which would, for the future, be not to much the . capital of France, as of the 'civilized world. A great part of Europe had been overturned, and never was. France more tranquil. Last year saw the ',.re,nch Emperor diaate the Law in the Palace of M A :IIA THERESA ; the following year saw hirn, - before .its close, master of the Palace of FREDERICK: th e GREAT, and - French soldiers had manoeuvred on the parades of Berlin and Potzdam. His name would be engraven on the new front of this Palace, -and all the arts united could not give it a nobler ornament:, He concluded by - a • panegyric on many of the great charalers which France bad produced, and whose statues: would ornament that • • Palace. After the ceremony, the Members of the Legis lative Body, who had attended, and some other .persons who were invited, assembled in one of the T orun of the Palace to repast. t:P° OF , . .Yesterday,being the day after the first meeting . of 'the hew Parliament, the two Houses of Convoca tion for the Province of CanterbUry assembled, ac-, cording to ancient custom; at the Chapter House Of S't . . "Paul's cathedral. The Archbishop of CAN .: TERBURY, the Bishops of BRISTOL, EXETER, and . i.v Noßi cis, were the only Members of the Higher House who attended ; those of . the. Lower House were more numerous. If this were a meeting for :•real bpsiness, the Higher House would consist in deed of twenty-tWo Bishops, and the Lower of one hundred and sixty-six . Members, viz. twenty-tWo ,Deans, -twenty-four Prebendaries, fifty-four' Arch- ,deacons, and forty-four Clerks, the Representatives, .or Pro&ors, of the Parochial Clergy. From the Chapter House the two bodies went in processiOn to the Cathedral, entering at the north door. A sermon in the Latin language was there •pieached , to them by the. Reverend the Dean of Gloucester, Dr. Luxmotti.' On their return to the . Chaptef,'Hoose, the two Houses separated, • the ArchbiThop taking his seat at the head of a Tong' table, and the Bishops at the sides, all in their scarlet robes and hoods, the Archbishop's robe being fOrred 'With:ermine, the Bishops' with miniver.-- 7 The Lower House were required by his Grace to ' chose their Prolocutor, who, being shortly after wards presented,„ addressed their Lordships in La tin, as did one of the Members accompanying him . ; to whom the Archbishop replied in the same lan guage. After some forms, the Assembly adjourned slue die, as has been customary since the reign of . QUEEN ANNE. LIVERPOOL THEATRE.

" • . The School of Reform was to have been represent ed last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, but on ac count of EMERY'S indisposition, The Beggar's Opera was the substitute.. Due notice, however, of the change was circulated by pr.inted bills.' • • F. THE OPERA.—The: second appearance of Madame CATALArif'last night, in the. Opera of. Semiraniide, again produced a crowded Audience at the King's Theatre. 'The very favourable reception of the for ;Mar night had'dissipated her fears, and her powers -were drawn forth with, increased effect. She is, .as ,we have said, a very,surptising singer, and het per- "formance excites great pleasure as well as astonish ment. The Audience in general were emulous in bestowing applause on this great Performer, Orticu larly in her bravura passages at the close of the first aft. The new dancer, Mad. PRESLE, was.so much indisposed as to be unable to appear last night. An ; attempt has been made, by the circulation of a printed paper, .purporting to have been written by a.Subscriber to the Opera House, to excite a °riot in that place on account of the increase in the annual rate of the Boxes. After the statement which we 'gave of the burthens under which the property la , hours,. and the vast deficit attending the last .four . _seasons,•• such an attempt is unjust and illiberal. It Eatinott surely be supposed that the Conduetor of that Theatreis - to present novelties to the world, at a very • great expence, and that he, is to receive no requital, but is absolutely to .sustain a severe loss. , The sub- Scription. to the Opera House is' a matter of mere choice, and it is the height of absurdity to suppose that a certain enormous expence is to be incurred, with only:a casual profit at best, and certainly at a' very considerable risque. Mr. ALLINGILAM'S new Farce is to be of the mu sical, kind, and the music is to come from Mr. CONDELL, whose judgment and talents as a Coni poser are well known to the Public. ,The Mr. MEGGOTT whO has recently appeared upon the Edinburgh Stage, and already raised him self into great celebrity in that enlightened capital, is not an Aaor of the same name well known in several Provincial Companies, nor any relative. The latter is entirely a Comic Performer. The new Aaor at, Edinburgh, according to report, is admirably qua lified fOr.the heroic and sentimental province of the Drarria. The Deputy High Bailiff of Westminster and Mr. PAULL have recently had an epistolary intercourse, which, it is said, is likely to terminate in a Court of Justice. Mr. PAULL'S letters, it is said, discover that negligence in grammatical forms which may be expeaed in a great genius, and the Deputy High Bailiff has thought proper to point them out with the accuracy of a PRISCIAN. It is surprising that Mr. PAULL, with all the pride of conscious genius, does not imitate his great political model, Sir FRAN-. CIS BURDETT, in keeping a Secretary at Wimbledon. Boxrso.—After the sale of Mr. Mr.wsn's stud, at TATTERSALa, a conversation took place amongst the sportsmen, respecting a long-talked of contest between Pittone and Gulley. It was proposed by a party who were willing to back Pittone, that be hould be matched against Gulley, and that the win 7 a'shottld afterwards fight the Game Chicken.

A trotting match, which has been long talked of in the sporting circles, and on which bets to an un precedented amount Were;depetidihg,•‘Vhs yesterday decided at Hampton-court. The -race was between Mr. Fentum's celebrated trottin g pare , and the as celebrated Kilcade mare, late the property of Mr. Fletcher Read, but now belonging. to a Gentleman: in the vicinity of Finsbury-square. The match was for 20 . 0 guineas, and the distance was 16 miles, from Bushy Park Gate, and eight .miles on the Sun bury-road, and back to the place of starting. The bets were freely laid at 2 to t and 5 to 2 on the Man chester mare, and 6 to 4 . . that the winner did not perform the 16 miles in an hour. At starting the Kilcade mare took the lead, followed the whole of the eight miles closely by the other. They continued together at full trotting speed until within a mile of the coming-in 'post: . At Hampton; the distance al luded to, the animals were neck. 'and neck, each • striving to make play; and,. in the last mile, the Kilcade mare broke four times in to ,a santer, ,a od was obliged to turn round, she having done so six times during the race, and the other four times. The Manchester mi l e won the race by half a Minute only, having performed the 16 miles, in bad weather, in 56 minutes. An extraordinary, discovery was made laSt Stinday morning by r lllr. Wm, Collins, farrier, in the stif• ferings of a horse:the property of Mr: G.

The person who was found dead last week hi field near Wokingliath with his throat cut, proved to be a native ,of :Sherborne; in Dorsetshire, named Edward :Bown, a day lahourer,•6o year of age: He was many years in the Army, and has two some by a former wife (low serving in the Navy. He i 3 said to have lived on unpleasant terms with hiS wife; whom he quitted about MichaelmaS laSt; and was heard to say, "that he tVolild never return to het any more." The body was interred on Wednesday evening On Monday se'nnight a trial of pedestrian skill took place on the road from Steyning to Horsham, which afforded much 'amusement to a number of spectators, and occasioned many bets. Messrs: GRINDALL and Coco', both Lieutenants in the Nottingham Militia, were the competitors; the race was twenty • miles, viz. from Steyning to the ten mile ;stone and back again, for 20 guineas. Mr. GRINDALL, who went over the last ten miles in an hour and a quarter, was the winner. In yesterday's report of the examination, at the Public Office, Worship -street, • it should have been mentioned that a military hat and a pairof shoes were found on the spot where themurder was committed, supposed to belong to Hagerty, who at that time was attached to the Army of Reserve: Capt.
