The Speech of M. REwAuLT' to "the Senate will be found in a subsequent Column. It repeats the threats which' aretow upon every occasion, thrown , out against this Country. The deterniipation of tot nishing'the Vessels of England from every shore to. which-the" power , of France- extends, is explicitly , avowed ; and we are told that " it is from the - bo, sorn of the Continent, which England wished to set in . a flame, that,atetrible War will be hereitfter .rnade upon her," The report of the French having received a check in Poland, has received spine degree of confirmation, from the account. of a • Gentleman 'who arrived in town.on Monday from the Continent.

This intelligence in some degree strengihen2d by the •Letter froin Dresden which We hid before our Re t aders-yesterday, whichstat?s, that AUCtUEVI, who was adonchig, towards Dantz . ie, had retreated. it•is by no• means improbable that some skirmishes may 'have taken place between the advanced Posts. of the ,two P.,r mies, and that the ,French may have fallen hack in a patlicular point, hi order to wait for their rein,. foxcements ; but as to the reports of a decisive vic tory haying been obtained-over the Vreneh, they are not• entitled to any credit. , It was yesterday stated, with great confidence in' thepity;ihat it wasein the eanternplationof I lis 3,1,1- jesty's Ministisrs to appropriate a part of the Sink iug•Fond towards the current Supplies of the year.

SITTING OF THE SENATE, Dtc..l. M. M. REGNAULT Da SAINT JEAN D'ANGELLIrp and LACUEE, Orators of the Council of State, charge - ed with presenting a Projet of Senatus Consultor had been introduced commencement of the Sitting. M. REF:MAW-1' mounted the Tribune, and read the Projet of the Senatus Consultunt—arciering, That 80,000 conscripts should be raised in 1807 That the appeal for that purpose should be made at the times fixed by the Imperial Decrees ; That the conscripts should be taken from among the natives of France born between the Ist of Ja•' nuary, 1787, and the 31st of December of the same year. M. REGNAULT afterwards explained the ;motive s of the Senatus Consultum,in the following terms.:-•- " MONSEIGNEUR--.SENATORS, " Little more than a year has transpired sine' his Majetty the Emperor and King, ready to quit his capital to repel the aggression of the Emperor of Austria, deposited in the bosom of the Senate the assurance that the French soldiers would do their duty. ‘c Senators—Europe has seen with what glQrioud fidelity this august promise has been fulfilled ; and on this day, the -anniversary of the immortal vic tory of Austerlitz, we feel a pleasure in recalling the French people to sentiments of happiness and gtatitude. ‘..‘ . But this memorable epoch is already removed from us by triumphs not. less splendid. Thai Army, at the had of which three months of Ovs last year :intficed his Majesty to fight, to overcome, and to make peace, has fought and conquered a new Eierny. His - Majesty's soldiers have a second Urn. done their duty., ic-Frenchmln ! it is incumbent upon you to 4 yQurs. c:‘ His Majesty has no less confidence in hia peo4 , ple than in his army ; and tigine of his hopes hays been frustrated. ‘-‘ Before he marched towards the Danube, it* concert with you, Senators, he called out the con scripts of 806, in advance, to join their colours; and he left the guarding of our coasts, our front' tiers, and strong places, to the citietas composing the National Guards. The National Guards have honoiarably fulfilled their duties, iind they ar still 41. arms in several departments of th.S gmO..IVI " the young conscripts have answered with ft 4 delity and courage to the appeal of the EmperAr and the country. They are in the ranks of our vicj torious phalanxes---there they rival the old so' Biers ; and it is to the prudence which has reckon, cd upon their bravery, and to the genius which has emplo;.ed Oat the Witty arid glory of the 4111pire is to be imputed. . f( It is. to this absolute devotion, to that entire confidence of the People and the Army in tht V‘raPelor, that frame has to ascribe the circun44 stance of seeing the war carried on two hundred And, fifty leagues from her frontiers ; and all the ca 4 lamities, inseparable from war falfing,up.on those whcs bad provoked it. ‘A" - Senator4,. wirpt his Majesty proposed, to pet foresight last year k .is not less, but rather more, n 4. cessary at present. . " "It is necessary that a new conscription should prepare to carry,' if needful, towards ,the borders. or the Rhine, the.

It ought not to terminate with the autumn of the present year, merely to .be renew ed in the autumn of the year following. His Majesty wishes to spare his people, and hi 4 Allies, the periodical repetition of baffles, wlier(k glory and , triutnplk are.always purchased by losses and sacrifises, He has declared to Europe his intention of se curing to it a „general Aid durable peace. • " It. is from the bosom of the Continent, which England wished tO set in a dame, that a terrible war shall be• hereafter made upon- her. It is only in applying to England, upon all the European shores, the principles she has applied upon every sea, that the. Emperor wishes to bring her back to the antient princips of the rights of men and ci., XiUzed nations. ‘,‘ It is by banishi'lg the ye , selSvf England from. every shore to which' his Ma esty may extend hii and bis.ayeß;ipg justice, that he wi4 MAILS.
