Vke Emperor NapuUon't Speech to the Legislative
Body.
“ Gentlemen Deputies of the Departments to
the Legislative Body.
** Since our last session, I have redured Arragon
•ad Castile to submission, and driven from Madrid
tltc fallacious government formed by England. I
Was marching upon Cadis and Lisbon, when I was
nndtr the necessity of treading back my steps, and
•f planting my eagles on the ramparts of Vienna.
Three months havrseen the rise and termination of
Ihia.Puiuc war. Accustomed to the devatedness
•nd courage of my armies, I must nevertheless, un
der these circumstances, acknowledge, the particular
proofs of affection which my soldiers of Germany
have given me. ,
“ Tbc genius of France conducted the English
•tmy — It b».s terminated its projects in the pesti
lential marshes of Walcljeren. in that important
period I remained 400 leagues distant, certain ol
the new glory which my people would acquire, and
®f the grand character they would display. My
hopes have not been deceived—I owe particular
thanks to the citizens of the departments of tbc i’us
tie Calais and the north. Frenchmen! every «ne
that shall oppose you shall he conquvred Hnd reduc
«d to submission. Your grandeur shall he increas
ed by the hatred of your enemies. You have be
fore you long years of glory and prosperity. You
have the force and energy of the Hercules of the
jA nr tents.

dered to European civilization.
♦^History pointed out to me the conduct I might
toHnpe towards Rome ; the Popes, heroine sove
reigSrb'fpart OtItaly, have constantly shewn them*
.pelves enemies tu every preponderating power in the
peninsula—they have employed their spiritual pow
*sir to injure it. It w«* then demonstrated to me
•that the spiritual influence exercised in my states
l»y a foreign sovereign, wasconirary to the indepen
dence of France, to the dignity and safety of my
throne. However, as I acknowledge ti e necessity
■of the spiritual influence of the descendants of the
first of the pastors, I could not conciliate these
' grand interests hut by annulling the donative of the
French empemrs my predecessors, and by uniting
the Roman States to Ft ance.
4* By the treaty of Vienna, all the kings and sove*
feigns my allies, who have glvAn me so many proofs
UOf the constancy *f their friendship, have acquired
And shall acquire fresh increase of territory.
^ “ The Illyrian provinces stretch the frontiers of
Biy great empire to the Save. Contiguous to the

situation to watch over the first interest of my

for that nation, if the write prince that governs her

Tills example proves anew to kings that the alli

“ My ally and friend, the emperuor of llussin,
lias united to his vast empire, Finland, Moldavia,
Wain, tua, and a district of Galleria. 1 am not
Jealous of any thing that can produce good to that

turns out that without firing a »hot, they all run a
ahore at the sight of rear-admiral Martin's dtyiai
•b ; two were aet bn fire, and the loss of tins other
is inevitable. Probably Buonaparte would not have
regretted this loss, though, in the present atate of
the French navy a severe one, had the transports
reached their destination, and effected (heir object.
Bel their fears drove them into the nearest Spanish
pert; and before they had time to unlade the whole
of their cargoes, a gallant and highly meritorious;
Attack of the boats belonging to the British squa
dron, completely frustrated their only remaining
hope. The whole were taken or destroyed ; the
cargoes of three only having been landed. The stores
cannot reach Barcelona, though they may afford a
temporary relief to the French army occupied in
tbe Blockade of Gerona. This event, though of
inferiour magnitude as a naval exploit, affords the
satisfaction, that the navy af France has not only
suffered another deduction, but that its benefits will
be felt by our allies the Spaniards. The enemy’s
distresses accumulate and should Barcelona tall in
consequence, the exploit will prove of vast import
ance.
Spain and Partugal.—These interesting countries
now present themselves to the eye of tne politici
«n under the double view of the recent changes in
their respective governments, Hnd the rerent resu
scitation of their martini spirit. The change in
the administration or Portugal, with the place as
signed in it to lord Wellington, is already known.—
Some good may he expected iroai it In point of vi
gour and decision ; hut whether there is any thing
in the arrangement calculated to windup the popu
lar spirit to that high-wrought time of enthusiasm,
which will equally inspire the inhabitants with for
titude, under the privations which the preservation
of their tottering independence will cost them, and
stimulate them to those hold exertions which the
attacks of a powerful euemy must call lorth, if they
be successfully resisted, is much to he doubted.—
\ < t, it is hut just to acknowledge, that the conduct
oi the Portuguese, in many instances, renders ap
probation a just tribute. The late of Portugal,
however, depends up «n Spam ; she must stand nr
fall with her neighbour. In ibis relation. Spain as
sanies a doable importance ; she certainly bolds m
her hand tne l..te of Portugal, and perhaps of Fu
t"P«. To the results of the late deliberations ol the
Supreme Junta we have therelure turned with anxi
ous expectation, and they appear to he such as would
have commanded our utmost confidence had they
been adopted sooner ; but, wise as they are, they
have come, we feai, too late. The principal ur
ranguneut, fur the present is, the establishment of
an executive council of seven members, wilh the
marquis of Astorga at the head of it, for the admi
nistration of the affairs of the nation. Among the*
members we rejoice to find the name of the mar
quis of Humana. \Y e have a pledge lor the sternly
patriotism of this nohletnan, not only in his own
excellent character, but in the hatred Buonaparte
beers to him. lie is amongst the few prutirilwd,
i and so beyond the reach of favour or purchase. As
tar as it depends upon his conduct, the country will
be wisely governed, and the war vigorously con
ducted. This form of government is, however, hut
temporary ; a proclamation, (which we regret our
uot being able to insert,on account of its length,) has
been issued far ijjp assembling of I be Corfu, on the
1st day of January, to euter spun tiieir Iqorlnms
the 1st of March following. Thu* the unnent pri
vileges of the Spaniard-^ will be restored by a nati
onal representation, confidence created hetwern the
people and the government, and the spirit of the
whole nation concentrated into one point, and re
flected back to the extremities of the Peninsula.—
Should Spain remain unconquered until that period,
the power of the Supreme Junta wjll devolve to the
Cortes, and the basis and form of a permanent go
vernment be laid by that assembly. What an effect
will this proclamation produce on the patriotic Spa
niards I 1 be re-estahliairinent of those ancient as

U tters from Dijon, dated the 14th inst. state, that
| general Porlier, with a Spanish force of 4000 men
j attacked a strong corps of French which had conic
from Btlboa, and having defeated it, afterwards pro
i ceeued to St. Aadero.
i The Tyrol.—The submission of the Tyrolese does
not appear to have takeu place, ns reported in the
French papers. Ilofsr, the gallant chief of the pa
triatirk cause, was mentioned particularly, ns hav
ing made a surrender ol himself to the Havanan ge
urral YVrede, xt tnspigpck, as an hostage for the sub
mission of the whole. By a proclamation of Drpuet,
issued on the 4th ult. it is, however, only stated,
that he had sent in h** submission in writing ; aqd
perhaps even this may be questioned. It may turns
nut$o he an invention to produce an alarm io such;
detached bodies of these resisting mountaineers, as'
are out of the immediate reach of better informs-!
i turn. Be this as it may, it is certain that the inba
j bitants have not discontinued their efforts in the sa
j cr*d r8«*« per&opal safety, and, with them, its
j correlative, independence. The last French at

(,o.ce the wily tyrant can unite his hypocrisy with bis

Austria.—The emperor Francis has addressed his
army on the conclusion of peace, in terms which
contain much of that spijit Wliieb he iiuniinsted
during the negotiations. Gold and siivtr medals
i ave been distributed among those officers and sol
diets wbu,distinguished taeio^-ivcs. The address
concludes with emphatically declaring, “ that it is
only by discipline and true valour they can premie
a lasting apd perm .oent peace, or the esteem of
their neighbours ; the plain interpretation of which
is, (says a cotemp .rary print,) that to be at peace
with France, they must ne prepared to resist her.
Denmark and. Sweden.—The pari tick negotiations
between $w> dm and il-nomrk aie terminated. The
plenipotentiaries reached the scene of negotiation
on the 11 th nit. and on the morning of the 25th, in
telligence was teceived at Siorkholni that peace
was concluded. 'v
The succession of Prince Augustenhiirgb to the
Swedish throne is likely to meet with opposition, as
a strong party lias been formed iu favour ul Govts
vus s son, who, it was reported, would be favoured
y Russia. An unfounded rumour prevailed in Got
tenbuig on the 25th. ult. that the late king, Gurta
vus, was dean.
1 he private letters from Sweden speak of a
growing misunderstanding between Denmark aud
f iance, but are wjroily silent as to the cause.
