Pk:E'X;T:E . - 3 PARTS, MARCH 3 I . .—At three' this :afternoon the 1 3 rince . Arch-ChanCeller of the. Empire attended the Senate; where, being received with the usual cere tnony, his Serene Highness ordered the Secretary of the Senate to read the Decree by which he was.ati thorized to preside at the Sitting. His Serene Highness thou pronounced the following Speech " GENTLEMEN, " At the moment when France, uniting in inten tiou with you, secures its happiness and its glory,- in swearing to obey. our 'august Sovereign,' your _necessity has 'foreseen the ecesity of co-operating in every part of 'the system of Hereditary Govern ment, and to establish it by institutions analogous to its nature. rr Yotir wishes are in ;part fulfilled; and will. be 'ill more so; by the different'Aastliat His Majesty the Emperor and King has prescribed to me for your sanCtion. Ht.nx you Will gratefully receive these tew testimonies of his confidence in the Senate, and his love for his People ; and, conformably to 'His Majesty's intentions; you will hasten to . inscribe them, upon your registers. "( The first of these A.6ts is a Statute containing Abe dispositions resulting from the 14th ArtiCle of the. Mt of the constitutions of Floreal 8; of the 'year twelve. • This Statute regulates every think concerning the Civil Constitution of the Imperial House, in pre scribing the duties of ! the Princes and Princesses who compot;,..it, towards the Emperor. • " The . .fundamental principle of this important Tamily Law announces ,how much His Majesty has it at .heart, that the dynasty of which he is the f:Ainder, -should perpetuate the happiness of Fance, :and fulfil the sublime hopes of •which it is the ob-., jed. • • ". It is particularly - for the interests of Nations that Princes should be educated in a manner su-: perior to.other men. The honours which they re ceive from their infancy are calculated to give more authority to the examples of submission and virtue, which is the-principal debt they owe to their Coun :try. -." " The accomplishment of their high dptinies also requires, that . they should be placed; almost from - their birth, under the inspection of the Father .of the Empire, in order that his vigilance may dire& their inclinations for the interest of the State, and thatthe:most severe morality should purify - and en 'noble all their affe&lons. The' second ASR is a Decree, which unites the Venetian Provinces with the Kingdom of Italy. Thus, this part of His 'Majesty's States will receive, in consequence of this disposition, that new degree of importance and. 'lustre which 'the glory et its .founder had reason . to hope. . " .By the third Decree His Majesty confers the Throne of Naples upon His Highness Prince Jo , isujt, and his legitimate heirs male. :!t-Ho reserves to 'this Prince the rights assured to him by, the Constitutions of the Empire, in pro idin of Naples shall never be united upou the same " This glolious recompence of the services of wince Joserni and his constant and pious affedion for the head of his tiun4y, shall be for you, Gentle- Men, the subjea of a lively satisfaClion. And how much more - . active will not this sentiment become, . in consequence of the elevation of a Prince, the ob - je& of youi love - and veneration, when you are in, formed that this elevation will not put an end to our connexions with him ; and when you know that the new King of Naples is to preserve with his Crown the title of Grand Eledor. " Relat;ve to the third and fourth Decrees—one contains the cession of the Dutchies of Cleves and Berg, in their full sovereignty, to his Highness Prince MURAT ; the other confers the Principality of Guastalla on her Royal Highness -Princess PAU LINA, and her spouse,. the Prince UORGUESE. The military glory of Prince MuRAT, the splendour and importance of' his successes, hiS public and private virtues, will interest every Frenchman in the just reward that he has obtained, and render his autho rity dear to his.new Subje&s. The safeguard of an important part of the frontiers of his Majesty's Ern.- pire will be entrusted to Prince MURAT. Can his Majesty place it in worthier hands ? . You had appreciated the merit of Prince Bolt- ,GHESE even before your Decrees had natnralized him among us. His condu& in the last campaign has given hint new claims to your esteem and the public confidence. " The fifth Decree transfers, in its complete So vereignty, the Principality of Neufchatel to Mar shal Bun rii-ux. This aileaing proof of the .Em- Peror's . good will for an old companion in arms; - and a co-operator, as intrepid as intelligent, can not fail to excite the sensibility of. every good heart, us it will be a motive of joy in every well-informed . mind: • " The sixth Decree effoas the re-union of the • countries of Massa, Carrara, and Garfagnana, to the Trincipality of Lucca. " In fine, Gentlemen, the seventh Decree esta blishes thr.ee great titles in the States of Parma and Plaisance, the splendour of which will be -maintained by Considerable revenues, to be appropriated to that purpose, in these 'countries, 'consistent with his Ma jesty's orders. " 13y the effe& of similar reservations in the De crees relative to the States of Venice, the Kingdom of Naples, and the Principality of Lucca, his Ma ,. jesty has created recompenses worthy. of them for severl of his subjects who have rendered him signal services in the war, or who have contributed in emi nent offices, in any distinguished manner, to the good of the State. " It is the Emperor's wish that these titles should _ become the property of those who receive them, :and that they shall enjoy the right of transmitting them in the male line to the eldest of their legiti mate descendants, as a Menument of imperial. mu niticence, and the just motives that excited these rewards. This grand conception, Gentlemen, •and 'the 'secondary measures that accompany it, shall make known to Europe thee4imatiuu that his Ma i, j • %ty attaches to the exploits of the brave man who bare seconded his kabours; and to the fidelity of ----., , • • . • • _.„ those . r lid§ efilV . 4ea in . the aireatua ,or atfaits 'of impofrance. • • . . . . .

The habitual splendour which surrounds men en'ti nent in dignity, gives ilkin - With the people an au thority-of counsel ande'tiamgle, which the Monarch cantonuOuies adtantageoUSly apply to increase the authority of the 'public fuli(Stion.

Such, Gentlemen, is the profound basis upon whiCh his gajesty wishes to establish the great political system, the idea of which s was inspired into him by Divine Providence. In securing the happi 7 . ness of the present generation, in preparing the greatness of the future *race, his Majesty is inces santly adding to those sentiments, of love, admira tion, and respe&, which you feel in common with the rest: of. the French Nation." THE MESSAGE OF Ti-LE EMgEROR AND KING. [The first avec. paragraphs are only a ,repetition of a part of the preceding discourse :, the conclusion is as follows • a We have thought proper, under these circum stances, that several obligations, and some burthens, which were borne by our Crown of Italy, should be uefrayed by the' £it of Naples and the • Prince of Lucca. • • . aWe have also found means to conciliate the in- 7 terests, the dignity of our Throne, and the senti ment of our gratitude,. fbr the serviceswhich have' been rendered us in the civil and.military Whatever may be the power to which Divine Pro : , vidence and the love of . onr. people has elevated us, it is no/ sufficient for the recompense of sb Many, Heroes, or for the :acknowledgment of the ions testimonies of love and fidelity which our per .sOn has experienced. • • • a You will perceive, in many of the dispositions which will be transmitted to you ) that we have not solely abandoned ourselves to the sentiments of affec tion with which we have been penetrated, and to the happiness of doing good to those who hxv - e so faithfully served us; we have been chiefly influenced by the grand idea of consolidating social order, to gether with bur Throne, which is • its ,basis and foundation ; and to create points of correspondence and support to this . great Empire. This attaches itself to our dearest wiShes, to that'to which' we have devbted our whole life—the greatness and prosperity of our people.

C 1 it and REGNIER, the first towards Tarento, and the second towards Reggio and the Strait of Messina. General REGNIER arrived at Lauria on the 7th of March, where lie took three Officers and fifty Neapolitan Soldiers. At Bosco he found sixteen caissons and three pieces of cannon, On the Bth the Army marched to Castel Luccio, which the Enemy had left in disorder somehours before their arrival. They found there four Officers, some .Soldiers, and some magazines. 'On .the oth..the Army marched :at break of day, halted at the Rotunda, and afterwards penetrated the defiles of the valley .of ,St..Nartin; and proceeded, against the Enemy, who jieeined dis posed to wait for the Fi-cnch Army in an intrenched position at Camperenese. the yplt i g el l rg over threw them at the first shock ) and this plass of armed men, that one - cannot distinivaish by the title of soldiers without disgracing that honourable name, fled merely at the sight of the first Regiment of Light Infantry, and two Battalions of the:42d, which formed a small advanced guard under General COM PERE. Vi RDIER'S Division, which followed, fornied in the second linc ; but the Enemy was already , routed: Their cannon, and five or six lines of re doubts, baggilge, &c. all remained in the hands of the French ; and out of the whole of the Neapolitan Army, General DAMAS was not able to colle& in his flight more than eight or nine hundred Infantry,.and fifty hOrse : the rest were taken or dispersed in the mountains. Two thousand Prisoners, the Generals Tsnum and. Ricci,_ the Colonel, and a Battalion of Guards, have already been colleaed, and are on their • 'war to Naples. The .French were. well received by the people of Calabria : it ,was impossible to raise the Levy _en Masse ; it is impoSSible. to con ceive what motives could induce the Government to compel such . bad Troops to fight, notwithstanding they were the only hope thatmliainedto the Go vernment that direiled them:: . . . . , Since that period each of the elitremittes of the Peninsula have been _occupied. Gaeta still holds out ' • but the artillery is getting ready for besi e ging , it. 'The Neapolitan Army hada good position, and were formidable in :numbers; but it-is the error of, all Cabinets to imagine , that a number Of soldiers only is nedessary to obtain viBory. A small number of soldiers will always vanquish a great 'nu/fiber; but these must be real soldiers, animated by the true military spirit, determined to conquer or die, full of .vigour, cnthu,siasm, and health.

The Gentleman did as be was desired, and many years afterwards, walking in the streets of Wisheach, in the Isle of Ely, he observed a butcher's servant dressing a calf with the utmost neat neSs and dexterity.
