LEGISLATIVE BODY.
Presidency of the Count of ths Empire, Fontanes.
Sequel of the silting of the 12/A December.
The following is the statement of the situation of
she Empire, at the first of December, 1809,
such as it was read in the Legislative Body by his
Excellency the Minister of the Interior.
(CONCLUDID )
The emperor left Paris on the 13th of April, ?c
arrived on the 18th without guards, without equi
pages and without horses ; his troops hastily as
Bumbled from the different parts of Germany,
were astonished at an unexpected aggression and
at those multitudes of enemies which surrounded
them on all side* ; already was Ratisbcn with
one of the finest regiments of the srmy taken j
but a shout was soon heart!; the news of the ar
, rival f his majesty was repeated by every tongue
and flew along the ranks. The emperor by his
usual manauvres, separated two corps of the
enemy’s army ; on the 20th he bent them at A
bens berg; on the ‘21«t inarched against I.andshut,
took possession of the city, of the bridge across
the l*cr, which was the headquarters and centre
of the operations of the enemy, by that means
cut off the communications of Lire enemy’s army,
took their baggage, their bridge equipages and
their hospitals j on the 22d lie marched against
Eckmuld, outflanked the left of the army of prince
Charles, which was reduced to four corps incon
sequence of ths separation of the two others,
completely routed them, took 30,000 iAsii and
one hundred pieces of cannon, and on the same
night he s'ept on the plain of ltalisbon in the
head quarters of the archduke Charles ; on the
23d he closely pursued the enemy, destroyed the
Austrian cavalry and took possession of Ratisbon
an«l mad.' prisoners 12.000 men, whom the ene
my had left in that city.
In 48 hours, the Austrian army, being struck
as it were by a thunderbolt, had its fate decided.
Of six corps, each upwards of forty thousand
strong, five were beaten, reduced to half their
number and separated from one another, 'i he
wrecks of four corps of their army were thrown
upon the Inn, without bridges, without maga
zines, and without hospitals. The rumors of
these disasters noon reached the sovereign of
Austria, and in less than two days the most sense
less presumption soon gave way to the most
dreadful consternation.
However, me nth ana sin corps, wmcn lormea
the Austrian army in Italy, had surprised our
troop*, which were Tar from ex;, ecting ho much
disloyalty, blockaded Palma-Nova and Venice,
and on the ?8d» of April weie upon the Adige
The emperor’s plan was not doubtful. After
1 he had defeated the grand army of Prince
diaries and driven four of his eorps into Bolie
! mm, he continued to follow the two corps which
| were retreating to the Inn, lie inarched against
{ Salzburg, Linlz, Upper Austria and Styi ia, in
; order to outflank the Austrian army of Italy, to
succour his own Italian Slates, which are so dear
to him.
Scarcely had a month elapsed from the unjust
Aggression of the Austrian army, when Vienna
was bombarded and compelled to open her gates
and Low before our triumphant aims.
The Aiistri in army of Italy soon perceived
that their ilaiiks were uncovered, and felt the ne
cessity of retreating ; the Viceroy who had con
quered on the I'l'iVe, on the Norick Alps, in Car
nitda, reached the confines of Styria and effected
Ids junction with the Grand Army. Vary soon
after, he bent the enemy in the heart of Hungary

Friedland whs celebrated by the battle of Raab ;
that circumstance furnished his majesty the em

The wrecks of the different corps of ths army
could not have, rallied, and would have been ta
ken and disarmed, if, by a fortuitous event, the
overflowing of the Danube had not stopped the
French army. The genius of war and the ef
forts of art overcame these unforeseen obstacles
In tvar the couruge and force of the lion must by
turns be united to the cuuaing and prudence ol

In flue, the battle of Wagram, which was fol
lowed by the armistice of Znaim, took the arms
out of the hands of our enemies. Mo hopes now
remained for them except in the g'Miem 'tyol

Eet us hope that this peace will be of longer du

who deceived the Austrian cabinet after the
treaty of Presburg, will not succeed in deceiving
them after that of Vienna. They would pro

powerful imd strong, will always be beyond the
reach of file combinations und intrigues of her
enemies.

bombardment alone, they took postessioisof th^
fortress of Flushing, which it must be said, wai
defended in a cowardly manner. His m..jesiy
lias ordered a report to be made to him of that

But the great inGuencc of the events of 1809 i
on the face of the world draws all our attcn- 1
t'.on. Politic*.
The Duchy of Warsaw has been aggrandiaed
with a portion of Gallicia. It would have been
easy for the emperor to unite to that state thr
whole of Gallicia i but he did not chuse to do a
ny thing which might give uneasiness to his ally
the emperor of Russia. Gallicia, as in the former
division, almost entirely remains in the power of
Austria, ll.s majesty never had in view the re
establishment of Poland. What the emperor has
done for New Gallicia, was commanded less hy
policy than honor : He could not deliver over to
the vengeance of an implacable prince the peo
ple who had shewn so nmch ardor in the cause
of France.
A young Austrian Prince, the same who com
manded at Ulrv in 1805, who is as arrogant as ho
is ignorant in tlu; art of war, did nothing else
with forty thousand men than suiter himself to
be beaten by Prince Joseph Poniatowcld, whose
force consisted of thirteen thousand. The house
I of Austria through the t*.«d combination of their
General, lost Western Gallicia, the inhabitants of
which with enthusiasm shook off the leaden yoke
which galled them. The Emperor considered it
his duty not to lay them under it a second time.
His majesty is desirous that, under the wise gov
ernment ot the King of S.,xony, the inhabitants
of the Grand-Duchy of Warsaw may secure their
tranquiiity and enjoy thair present happy situati
on, without giving any cause of uneasiness to their
neighbors.
The kings of Bavaria, Westphalia, Wirtem*
berg and the other princes of the Confederation,
wiM all obtain an increase of territory. It would
no doubt, have been easy for France to extend
her limits beyond the Rhine ; but that river is the
invariable boundary of the immediate states of her
empire.
The Hvnse-towns will preserve their indepen
dence. They will be as a means of reprisals in
war, with regard to England.
Peace with Sweden will soon be concluded.
Nothing will be changed in the political rela
tions of the Confcderalio:. of the Rhine, or that of
Helvetia.
For the first time since that of the Romans,
all Italy will be governed by the same system.
The union of the *. Inman states was necessary to
bring about tlvs great result. They cut the pe
ninsula between the Mediterranean and the Ad
riatic sea. and history proves of how much impor
tance was an immediate communication between
Upper Italy and the kingdom of Naples.—Three
centuries ago, the pope, while Charles VIII was
invading that kingdom, formed a powerful league
against him. The king’s retreat was cut off, and

bodies of the Confederates, at the head of whom
was the Pope at Fornova. But what need we go
hack to the histories of Charles VIII, of Louis
XII, or of Francis I ? Even in our days has not
the Pope received in his capital and in his ports
the English, who, from that asylum, spread dis
turbances throughout the kingdom of Naples and
the kingdom of Italy, distribute ' money and
poiniards to the assassins who were murdering
our soldiers in the valleys of the Callabrias ? The
Emperor demanded of the Pope to shut Ins ports
against the English ; could it be believed that the
Pope would have rejected that demand } He
proposed to him to form an offensive alliance with
the kingdoms of N aples and of Italy. The Pupa
did not listen to that proposal. Not a circum
stance lias occurred since the treaty of Presburg
in which the Pope has not manifested his hatred
of France. Every power which becomes pre
dominant in Italy immediately becomes his ene
my. Thus, before the battle of Austerlitz and
! before that of Fricdland, the Emperor received
i from Home briefs full of acrimony. The Pope
afterwards complained of the principles of tole
1 ranee which arc consecrated by the Napoleon
I Code ; he broke out against tiie organic laws by
which the Empire is governed at home, and in
which lie had under no title the right to interfere.
He threw fire-brands in our provinces. He en
deavored in that matter to divide and to shake
the great Empire, and no doubt can be entertain
j ed ol what he would have done, if any important
j battle had been lost. The court of Rome laid
! their secret sentiments too open ; they could not
: mistake the services done by the eirperor to re
' ligion ; but this motive of gratitude which ought
| to have been so powerful for the head of the
| church, could not prevail over the hatred of the
] temporal sovereign.
I ^ ui.mmxuui uicsr iruviis which arc COrl*
; tinned by the history of all ages, and by our own
experience, the Emperor had only to choose be
tween two things, either to create a Fatriarch, &
separate France from all relations with an ene
emy who was endeavoring to injure him, or to
l destroy * temporal sovereignty, the ©nly source
of the hatred which the court of Home bore to
France. The one would hare brought on dange
rous discussions, and excited alarm in many con
sciences ; the Emperor rejected it ; the other
was the exercise of the rights which are inherent
in the Imperial crown, and for which die Empe
ror cannot be called to account by any one ; the
Emperor adopted it ; neither the Fopes or any
other Priests in the Empire must have ary tern
por.d sovereignty. Neve.- wil) the Emperor ac
knowledge the right of the triple crown ; he ac
knowledges only the spiritu;d mission given to
the Pastors of the Church by Jesus Christ, and
wtlicit St Peter and his holy successors fulfilled
.in so pure and pious a inner, to the great advan
tage ofreligion.
1 he kingdom of Naples has this year assumed
a new consistency. The king has paid particu
lar attention to trie organization of his states
H>- has re-established Older ill all the branches
id the administration ; he lias repressed robbe
ries, and his subjects, from ttie first to the last,
have displayed sentiments which do honor both
to them and to the sovereign. The clergy of
Naples, who like those of France, consist of well
informed men, have deserved the esteem of the
emperor. One ecclesiastic alone, the Archbisliop
of Naples, has refused to take the oath which
was due to tlie sovereign. In vain did theologi
ans endeavor toconvirice him of his errors, lie has
persisted in it. His gross ignorance is a strong
satire upon those who ra sed him to such an em
inent post.
Holland is revHy but n part of France. That
country may be defined by calling it the alluvion
of the Rhine, of the Meuse, and of the Schcdt,
that is to say of the great amines of the empire.
I he nullity of the Dutch custom houses, the in
clinations of the officers and the minds of the in
habitants, which constantly tend to a smuggling
trade with England, in short every thing ren
tiered it necessary to prohibit their trading upon
the Rhine and the VVescr. Thus bufielted be
tween France and England, Holland is deprived
both of the advantages, contrary to our general
system, which she was obliged to renounce,
and of those which she might enjoy ; It is tune
that every thing should return to its natural or
der
His majesty has also Keen desirous of securing
in a brilliant manner th; advantages of the act of
the Helvetic confederation, by adding to his ti
tles that of Muhator of Switzerland. This is
sufficiently giving the Swiss to understand that
happiness will lie lost for them the day they
touch this palladium ot their independence. The
bridge of Ras'd lias frequently furnished oppor
tunities to the French troops of violating the Hel
vetic tem, ry j it was necessary to them on ac
count of crossing the Rhine. His majesty has
ordered a permanent one to be built at Hunin
gueii.
The Illyrian provinces cover Ifdy, procure a
direct communication with Dalmatia and an im
mediate point ot contact with the Ottoman em
f-’irc, wfiio'i rr.inei for no many reasons and

never oppose the independence of the continen
tal nations of America ; that independence is in
the necessary order of events; it is in the jus
tice ; it is in the interest well understood of all
the powers. It was France which established
the independence of the U States of North A
mcrica ; it was she who contributed toadde-v
;ral provinces to them :—she will be alway s rea
dy to defend her work. Her power does not de
pend upon monopoly; none of her interest* are

mong all the nations and in all the markets of
Europe Whether the inti tbitauts of Mexico or
Peru chuse to be united with the mother coun
try, or whether they couse to rise to a noble in
dependence, France will never opp- je them,
provided ttley never foi m any tie with England.
France for her prosperity and trade, has no occa
sion cither to molest her neighbors, or to force
upon them tyrannical 1 »ws.
We have lost the colonies of Martinique and
Cayenne; they were both ill defended. The cir
cumstances w-nich have deprived us of them have
bucome the object of a rigorous enquiry. It is
not that their loss is of any weight in the balance
of general affairs, for they will be restored to us
at the general peace in a more flourishing state j
than at the period of their capture.
In fine, peace has brought the emperor again i
among us ; all the bodies of the State have car- :
risd their homage to the foot of the throne : Ins I
answers are engraven in all your hearts. The;
monarch who excites the greatest admiration
and enthusiasm, is also lie who is worthy of being
beloved.—He has said, that he places in that
which he inspires all his hopes of happiness.
Frenclunen, he was then lor once mistaken, when
tic added that other princes were happier titan he
is.
Mr. Montali'ect left the tribune amidst the ap
plauses of the assembly and of the tribunes.
The President.—Minister of the interior and
members of tiie council of state, gentlemen, you
were sure of inspiring a great interest in this as
sembly. You have described the glory of the
monarch in sketching the blessings ofliis admin
istration. It is not enough for him to ha\r so of
ten vanquished bis enemies nt battle ; lie moafir
to destroy even their last hopes. lie in some
measure completes their defeat, by more &. more
strengthening his internal government.
Every tiling must be extraordinary like him in
the events of his reign.
an lurmer times, alter a tew year* ot war, an
empty treasury compelled even the vanquisher to
sue for peace. In th.-se days, the keeping up of
ss many armies has not interrupted the succes
sive amelioration of our nuances
Formerly the signal of war suspended all the
usetul establishments and the natioal monuments
on whicii is imprinted the magnificence of the
kings. At present, the cities are every where
embellishing. It might be said that this peo
ple, so terrible out ot the country, are occupied at
home only jn preparing the ..ge of peace, arts and
fetes.
in fine, war has at all times weakened the force
of the laws and of the police. Now the public
tranquility is maintained by the wisest and the
most vigilant police. With mendicity has disap
peared the scourge of all the disorders which fol
low her train.
That influence of a good admiuistration was
fell even during the absence of the prince. Al
though at three hundred leagues distance from
the frontiers he animated and regulated every
thing. As soon as the English appeared, all France
flew spontaneously to arms. When they fled
they as speedily laid them down. Being admi
rable in his movements and not less admirable in
his repose, he has shewn to Europe the energy
and wisdom which characterize a great nation.
He has shewn what that nation can do under the
all powerful hand which hurls it or moderates
its course at its pleasure.
Such, Mr. le ministre de l'interieur, is the
great picture which you have set before us. You
could ne.t better praise the sovereign than by re
lating Hie history of his life : orators have been
long tokl that nothing was greater than the ac
tions of his life simply told. It must be added
that nothing is more eloquent than his words.
It is in faithfully repeating them that he is to be
shewn in.all his glory. How affected we were
the last time we heard him, when he expressed
his wish to live thirty years in orderfor tKirty yeare
to serve his subjects ! Never did more royal words
is:uie from the heart of a great king. Royalty is
really nothing else than the most sacred, the most
useful and the most eminent of all services ; it was
instituted only for the happiness of mankind
Happy the prince who so well knows his duties
ami his dignity, and who expresses them with so
much nobleness! What Frenchman does not now
form the same wish as he ! Yes : may he live
thirty years ; may his life be prolonged for a
much longer period ; and since all the prodigies
appear to be reserved for him alone, let us hope
that so memorable a reign will surpass all otiiers
in duration, in like manner as it surpasses them
all in power and grandeur.
