The Conservative Senate, assembled
to the number prescribed by the 9th article
of the not at the constitution, of 13th Dec.

Having seen the act drawn up, the 15th
of the present month, by the prince arch

, A refuge from true friends to an inveterate
enemy. To the same enemy Mt. Adam:

Thirdly, by becoming etock- -jobbers. The

doubt my sentiments, and that she hold,!

tereat and want of my people, which have
constantly guided all my actions will that I
leave my children, inheritors of my love
for my people, the throne on which provi
dence has seated me. For several years l
have lost all hope of having children b
my marriage with my well beloved wife
the empress ]osephine : it is this which
has led me to aacrisice the sweetest aﬀec
tion of of my heart, to hearken to nothing
butthe welfare of the etate and to a disco
lation of our marraige. _
" Arrived at the age of sortv {years, !
hope to live long enough to raise up in my
spirit and charaeter the children which it
may please provudence to give me. God
knows how muchthia resolution has cost
my heart; but there is no sacrifice which
is above my courage, when it is demon
ltrated to be usesul to the welfare of France.
" It is necessary to add, that far from
having ever given me any cause of com
plaint; on the contrary l think it incum
bent to praise the attachment and aﬀection
of my weiibeloved wile; she has embel
lished fifteen year: of my life ; the remem
brance of it will ever be engraven in my
heart. She was crowned with my hands ; .

cool, discerning, upright statesman be
goad: -d into this trnct, by an unwary ever
sight. Had Mr. Adam; discovered his er
ror: and retraced his steps, the candom',
patriotism and integrity of a self—condem
nation, would have poured into his graoa
ry the harvest of popularitv, which Mr.
]effi-rson reaped. Mr. ]eﬀerson dimished
our taxes, and yet caused our treasury to
ovexﬂow by contracting our expences. It
is admitted that the present military ex
penccs are as great as Mr. Adams's, and
that they press no harder upon England,
than his did upon France. But there is an
argument in their savor which we shall
make the subject of the next number.

thing but testimonials of the aﬀection and

" ! must acknowledge these sentiments
in consenting to the dissolution of a marri
age which is henceforth an obstacle to the
welfare of France, which deprives her of
the happiness of being one day governed by
the descendants of a great man so evidently
raised up by providence to essace the evils
of a terrible revolution, and to re-eatabliah
the altar, the throne and the social order.
But the dissolution of my marriage will in
no ways change the sentiments of my heart.
The emperor will always have in me his
best friend. I know how much this act,
commanded by policy and so great inter
ests, has rent asunder his heart; but we
mutually glory in the sacrifice we make to
the good of the country.
