What a glorious . moment for the Senate, honoured as it, is with your august confidence, is the instant when it, is permitted to conternplate in •all the brilliancy of victory and peace, this Itriperial'Throne, which 600,000 men in arms flattered themselves they should be able to overturn ! - " Sire! with what pleasure do we behold you seated, after so long an absericey and which, under any other - reign than your's, would have been so alarmini! may justly say, an absence so long; although it only -lasted four months; .-. Reckoning by the number of your triumphs, these months be came ages—but - they fivers - mit less tardy, from our . impatience to _behold and possess the- hero of our age, =the deliverer of Europe, and the.father of his country:. • Notwithstanding - , we feel it our duty tb inform your Majesty,.. that you . have, never ceased tb be present in the boson' of the, Senate, Sire! not 'only ;by that renoWn which fills the universe, but by that feeling which attaches us all to your Majesty, and unites our affections and eleAtinies to your's," 1 41 ,0 m the moments -that your Majesty ..announced to es that departurewhich we could not have foreseen, all our hearts accompanied. yo.o beyond the Fran- - tiers. The rapidity of your March, always out stripping our hopes, continually redoubled Our zeal. We incessantly participated in your • dangers and your fatigues. Your sublime expressions, your astonishing aaiozss, drew us along .with you in a kind of enchamnient, which met with na- inter ruption during four months. Yes, Sirel without taking breath, we were present with• you: at.Wer tingin, at Ulna, at Vienna, at Austerlitz ; and, in a More pleasing manner, at carlsruhe, at Stutgardt, and lastly, at Munich. With the soldier, we marched from, victory to viEtorye with the : father of a family, We celebrated a happy and illustrious marriage. But after all these' wonders, hoW impatient did the desire your return ! With what unanimous ar dour would the.. itrimense• population of the first. of these cities have pressed on the heels of the Senate to meet our Emperor and our - Hero, if time would have allowed you to yield to our Wishes ; or; rather, if Om- Majesty's devotion - in - the - public service had not imposed it as a duty upon you, to signalize your arrival by meeting your COUlltilS. a trait m your :Majesty's character, and which deserves tO'be remarked in your manner of seeing things--to reign, with you, is to forget himself, and to live for others. Thus, With Your Majesty, .the'labour of the evening 'has no,other perspeetive-of reward, than the labour of the following day. . • - Ah, Sire I suspend, for one-day, this unceasing aaivity : all eyes are impatient to see NAPOLEON the Great--,all hearts are open to him. We shall not endeavour td paint wha"t we feel. The transports of the public joy will speak More forcibly - than . our• weak words. There is one, thing which the Senate feels itself obliged to say, and that is, that the sentiments of the feople'are worthy of the actions of the Prince. The, French 'nation is proud of its . Monarch, Sire ! all yottr contempora ries congratulate themselves*upon the age in which they live.

We hear that, upon the, conclusion of the conference, Car dinal RUFFO dispatched two Couriers, one to his Court, and the other to the Marquis DE GaLLQ, .the Neapolitan Envoy in France, with. Dispatches to the Emperor NAPOLEON, It is Weil known 'that Cardinal Morro refused to take any part in. the hos tile plans of his Court. According to the rumours in circulation since the Cardinal's arrival, a singular circumstance has oc curred at Naples. It is even 'asserted, that- the English, who arrived there at the same time with the Russians, have opposed their re-embarkation, under the pretence that these Troops, being in the pay of England, had' no right to obey any orders but those of a British Commandant. What gives weight to this report is, that Cardinal RUFF° is at tended by a Russian Otileci', who 'Seconds the Car dinal's application 'to the .
