PARIS, May 9. BONAPARTE , First Consul of the Republic, to the Conservative Senate.
SENATORS, The honorable proof of your esteem, contained in your deliberations of the 8th inst. will be always deeply engraved in my heart,
The suffrages of the people has invested me with the supreme authority. I should not think myself assured of your confidence, if the act which retains me in that authority was not still sanctioned by them. For the last three years fortune has smiled upon the Republic, but fortune is inconstant, and many men who have been loaded with its favour, have at last found that they had lived some years too long. The interest of my glory and of my happiness seem to fix the period when the peace of the world was proclaimed, as the term of my public life. But the glory and happiness of a citizen ought to give way, when the interest and good wishes of the State call upon him. You think I owe this new sacrifice to the people; I will make it, if the wishes of the people command me to do that which your suffrages have authorized.
(Signed) BONAPARTE.
Decree of the 10th instant.
The Conservative Senate taking into consideration, that the resolution of the First Consul is a splendid mark of homage paid to the sovereignty of the people; that the people, consulted on their dearest interests, ought to know no other limits than these interests themselves, decree as follows:
Art. 1. The French people shall be consulted upon this question, Shall Napoleon Bonaparte be Consul for life?
2. Registers shall be opened in each Commune, where the citizens shall be invited to give their votes upon this question.
The other articles prescribe the mode in which the suffrages of the people are to be collected.
May 12.
By a decree of the Senate of the 18th Floreal, 8th May, presented to the Corps Legislative for confirmation, the Conservative Senate re-elected the citizen Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, for the ten years immediately succeeding the ten years for which he has been nominated by the 39th article of the Constitution, as a testimony of the gratitude of the people of France for the Consuls of the Republic.
This decree was presented in form to the First Consul, on the 19th Floreal,—who in his reply observed, “That this honorable proof of esteem would be eternally engraved on his heart—That during the 3 past years, Fortune had smiled on the republic—but Fortune was inconstant, and how many men, upon whom she has showered down favours, had lived by some years too long.—That the interests of his glory and of his name seemed to have prescribed as the term of his public life, the moment when the peace of the universe was proclaimed. But that the glory and happiness of the citizen ought to be silent when the interest of the State and public kindness demanded his services. You conceive that I owe, says he, a new sacrifice; I am ready to make it, if the wishes of the people exact what suffrages authorize.
The second Consul, Cambacérès published an arrete on 20th Floreal, 10th of May, purporting that the French people should be consulted on this question—“Whether Napoleon Bonaparte should be elected Consul for life.
General Menou has been received in the most flattering manner by Bonaparte, who has assured him of his particular esteem and protection, declaring that his long resistance at Alexandria has contributed to the favourable issue of the Preliminaries of peace.
LONDON, May 17.
Yesterday we received French Journals of the 12th and 13th inst. it appears from these that the decree proposing to elect Bonaparte Chief Consul for life, had been readily adopted, by the Councils, and means were taken to obtain the sense of the people upon it, which there can be little doubt, will be equally favorable to the ambitious wishes of the chief Consul. As we remarked on Saturday, but one step more , remains to be taken, which is to settle a new Dynasty in the family of Bonaparte. The re-establishment of the Catholic religion, or at least the manner
in which it has been re-established, seems to have occasioned a great degree of discontent. The Jacobins are strongly averse to the measures and the Catholics dislike the encroachments which have been made on the ancient power of the Pope. These discontents begin already to shew themselves. It is stated in some private letters, that an attempt was made a few days ago on the life of the Chief Consul, while he attended the Parade; and several of the generals, who have expressed themselves too freely with respect to the growing ambition of Bonaparte, have been ordered to reside a considerable distance from Paris. The Chief Consul, for the further security of his person, means to create a new corps to be called the Sacred Legion , composed of picked and distinguished men. All the private accounts from the French capital certainly concur in stating, that a storm is gathering, which must perhaps very speedily burst.
The French funds have again fallen back to 57.
An Order of Council, it is said, has actually been given, for prohibiting the importation of any article of French growth or manufacture, except such as have already been ordered and shipped for this country. This order is in consequence of the prohibition of the French Government of English manufactures; and we have little doubt will lead to some commercial arrangements which may be beneficial to this country.
The subscription for the erection of a Statue in honour of Mr. Pitt, we have no doubt will extend over the whole country. Every one who is capable of revering talents and admiring worth, will be anxious to express their approbation of the man who has saved the Country, and its honor, and prosperity.
The following are the official details of these important proceedings.
ACTS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Extract from the registers of the deliberations of the Conservative Senate, of the 8th of May, 1802.
Deliberation, containing the re-election of the First Consul of the Republic.
The Senate, consisting of the number of members prescribed by the 90th article of the constitutional act,
Having seen the message of the Consuls of the republic, transmitted by three orators of the government, relative to the peace between France and England;
After having heard its special committee, charged by its arrete of the 6th inst. to represent a report on the testimony of gratitude proper to be given to the First Consul of the Republic.
Considering, that in the circumstances in which the Republic is at present placed it is the duty of the Conservative Senate to employ every means in its power to give to the government that stability which can alone multiply its resources, inspire confidence without, establish credit within, encourage its allies, discourage secret enemies, extinguish the flames of war, ensure the enjoyment of the fruits of peace and leave to the wisdom of futurity the means of executing all that can be conceived necessary for the happiness of a free people:
Considering that our Supreme Magistrate, after having so often led the republican legions to victory, delivered Italy, triumphed in Europe, Africa and Asia and filled the world with his renown, has preserved France from the horrors of Anarchy, by which it was menaced, extinguished the Revolutionary Flame, dispersed Factions, put an end to civil discords and religious troubles, added to the benefits of Liberty, those of order and security, hastened the progress of science, consoled humanity, and given peace to the continent & the ocean, has the greatest right to the gratitude of his Fellow citizens, as well as the admiration of Posterity.
That the wish of the Tribune communicated to the Senate in the sitting of this day, may be considered, in this instance, as that of the French nation:
That the Senate cannot express more solemnly to the First Consul, the gratitude of the nation, than in giving him splendid proof of the confidence with which he has inspired the French people.
Considering lastly, that the second and third Consuls honorably seconded the glorious labour of the First consul of the Republic.
From all these motives and sufferings have been collected by secret scrutiny, the Senate decrees as follows:
Art. 1. The Conservative Senate, in the
name of the French people, testifies its gratitude to the Consuls of the Republic.
2. The Conservative Senate re-elects Citizen Napoleon Bonaparte First Consul of the French Republic for ten years immediately following the ten years for which he has been appointed, by the 39th article of the Constitution.
3. The present Senate Consultum shall be transmitted by a message to the Legislative Body, to the Tribunate, and to the Councils of Republic.

PHILADELPHIA, July 5. FROM GUADALOUPE.
By the brig Hiram capt. Dove, arrived at the Lazerette, from Point Peure, (Gaud.) whence he failed the 17th ult. we have the following.
“I suppose you have already heard of the fate of Guadalupe. The blacks have burnt and destroyed the principal part of the plantations, only five have escaped in Grand Terre. They even have destroyed the cotton and coffee trees, by pulling them out of the ground by the roots, or cutting them down.—When I failed, and after the battle of Banbridge the blacks had generally taken to the woods in the adjoining country.—The action which took place 26th May, begun at 8 o'clock in the morning, and continued unremitted, until 5 in the afternoon, when the French carried the fort, and took about 200 prisoners.—Three hundred blacks escaped, and reached the woods. In this action there were 200 blacks killed, and of the whites 100 killed and wounded.—The French immediately shot all the prisoners in the public square!—Pelage was second in command during the action and indeed he is in every engagement very conspicuous.
The white inhabitants were leaving the Island with great precipitation.—A great sickness rages in the French army. Out of the 4444 men who came out from France, half are either dead or in the Hospital; and indeed unless reinforcements soon arrive the Blacks will certainly possess the Island.
American vessels are not suffered to bring from Guadalupe, Cotton, sugar, nor coffee. They are absolutely limited to rum and molasses. It is certain, that for some years to come Guadalupe will yield but little produce, either to France or to the Americans.
The Government of Guadalupe take the American cargoes, of which they stand in need, at their own price, and are to pay them one half in produce and the other in bills on Bonaparte.—The produce they will doubtless deliver when it grows!
Mr. Jones our consul was about sailing from Guadalupe, the Government having refused to accept him.—In short Guadalupe is in every respect a second Cape Francois. Yours J. D.
Capt. D. has also furnished the following Proclamation,
LIBERTY. EQUALITY. In the name of the French Republic. PROCLAMATION.
CHARLES SERIZIAT, general of brigade, commanding the first division of the army, and the arrondissement of La Grande-Terre;
To all Cultivators of La Grande-Terre. Men who hold nothing sacred, not being satisfied, in their principles of rebellion, with setting on fire the finest districts of Guadalupe, have landed on the Grande-Terre, and done the same mischief.
Already several plantations have been prey to flames.—at the news of the danger, our troops marched against these incendiaries; two of their chiefs have met with death; and the greater part of this banditti have bitten the dust—those who remained have been dispersed.
Troops of cultivators, instead of opposing the conflagration, or stopping its progress, have, on the contrary, assisted in it, and rendered themselves guilty of the same crimes.
Others, less guilty but as dangerous, deceived or seduced by these wicked men, have followed; they are now sensible of their wrongs, but dare not abjure their error.
The general commanding the arrondissement of La Grande-Terre, wishing to shew the kindness which the latter deserve, and the just rigour which the former have to expect, when once acquainted with the principles of the general in chief, has issued the following arrete;
Article First.
There shall be an amnesty for every cultivator absent from his plantation, who shall re-enter it in 24 hours after the present proclamation.
2. A reward of two dollars shall be granted to every cultivator, who will bring back a firelock in good condition, either to the commissary of his district, or the commander of the place.
3. Every chief of cultivators, whose plantation may have been set on fire, and who shall not have made use of every means to oppose the wickedness of the incendiaries, or used his utmost endeavors to stop the progress of the conflagration, shall be punished with death, as an accomplice and promoter of the same; therefore he shall be shot on the very spot.
4. An amnesty and reward of two hundred dollars shall be allowed to every rebel, or other, that will deliver up a chief of the rebellion.
5. The commissaries of government and military commanders are ordered to read the present proclamation in every plantation, before the cultivators assembled to explain it to them in the most intelligent manner, and take all necessary measures to ensure its execution.

No alterations had taken place in the markets since the sailing of the Flying Fish, only in the article of lumber, which
was very scarce, and commanded a good price.
Schooner Philip, Jenne, 14 days from St. Thomas. Left several American vessel belonging to the northward, names unknown.

Alexandria Advertiser.
FRIDAY, JULY 9.
A gentleman, lately from various ports of the Mediterranean, says the Salem Register informs, that the officers of the ships of war of the United States are treated with the greatest civility and respect by the British navy officers whenever they meet; that the latter speak in the highest terms of the beauty of our ships, and of the seamanlike manner in which they are conducted; & that whenever they have had occasion to put into any port where the British had arsenals, every possible facility was given to their repairing and refreshing, in the most disinterested manner.
It appears by an article under the Paris head that the meditated expedition to Louisiana, under gen. Bernadotte, has been suddenly deferred: that General has been ordered to reside some leagues from Paris, and the government-makers who were manufacturing a new system for that country, being discharged from their service—This event is received by some as a proof that France has relinquished her intention of colonizing Louisiana. We do not consider it in this manner. Concerns more interesting to the ambition of Bonaparte, now exclusively occupy his attention.—The consolidation of absolute power, in his own person, and the establishment of a succession, are considerations to him paramount to all territorial acquisitions. For these objects, every other will for a time be overlooked. Until he shall have entrenched himself with every royal prerogative; and attained an elevation which will defy competition, the exterior concerns of their government will be left to take their natural course. We may believe that as long as France is engrossed by this object, the tranquility of other countries will remain uninterrupted.

Extract of a letter from Homburgh and Freres of Havre.
"Since our last, of 25th ult. great quantities of coffee and sugar have arrived from your ports, as well as from England and Portugal, which has slackened our market for these articles, and occasioned a fall in the prices, as you will see by the accompanying prices current and those are
only nominal, no sales of any consequence being made of late, except in corn and flour, which continue to increase in demand. American flour sold this week, at 66 liver per bbl. weighing 52lb. French. The price of rice has also declined and it sells now but slowly at 35 livers to 37 livers 10 sous per cwt. Very little or no changes in American produce. West-India cotton, fine indigo and Cod-oil, are still in demand.

PARIS, MAY 11.
(Extract of a private letter.)
"The following project of a law is immediately to be submitted to the discussion of the French council of state, and no doubt is entertained but it will be adopted:
LEGION OF HONOR.
Art. I. In virtue of the 87th article of the constitution, a Legion of Honor shall be formed.
II. This Legion shall be divided into 15 cohorts, each of which is to have its peculiar station.
III. National property to the amount of 150,000 francs, annually, shall be allotted to each Cohort.
IV. Each Cohort shall consist of seven great Officers, 20 Commanders, 30 Subaltern Officers and 350 Privates.
V. The pay to be as follows: To each great officer 5,000 francs per annum during life, To each commandant 2,000 do. To each subaltern 1,000 do. To each private 250 do. All durante vita.
VI. Every individual on his being admitted into the legion, shall swear, on his conscience and honor, that he means to devote his existence to the welfare of the Republic, to the preservation of its territory (in its integrity,) to the defence of its government, its laws and the property which it has rendered sacred, to oppose, by all means which justice, reason and the laws authorize, every undertaking which may tend to the restoration of feudal system, of titles and immunities attached to them; in fine to exert his best and most strenuous efforts for the maintenance of Liberty and Equality.
VII. A grand council shall be formed, consisting of the First Consul, the two Consuls, and four Counsellors, one of whom is to be chosen from among the Senators, by the Senators themselves; the legislative body is to select another, the Tribune is to send one of its Members and the Council of State chuses the fourth.
VIII. The First Consul, is, de jure, the chief of the Legion, and the president of the Council of the administration.
IX. At each station there shall be an establishment and asylum, properly endowed, for the members of the Legion, whom old age, or wounds received in the war of liberty, shall incapacitate from continuing in the service.
Conditions required for being admitted.
"To have received arms of honor from the hands, or by order of the first Consul; to have rendered essential service in the war of liberty, either in the field or in the cabinet. In time of peace, a candidate must prove that he has served 25 years.—Each year in time of war tells for two; each campaign of the republican war tells for four years."

COTTON PLANTATIONS, On the Sea Coast of Virginia.
THE subscriber wishing very much to see an establishment of this kind introduced into our state; and being convinced that should the same succeed, a considerable source of industry and wealth would arise therefrom: offers to the consideration of any person or persons the following circumstances:
It has been the opinion of Southern gentlemen with whom the subscriber has conversed on this subject, that there could be no doubt of the success of such an undertaking, if properly conducted, and that at any rate it was worth the experiment. To an enterprising character, a field is here opened, by which, should success attend, a vast source of wealth may accrue. The more southern parts of this continent have experienced the benefits arising from the culture of cotton in the most eminent degree. When we consider how small a portion of our state from climate and situation is capable of being converted into improvements of this kind, and that should this small part which can alone possess the advantage become successful in the experiment, the result must be obvious to all.
Smith's Island lies in the Atlantic Ocean, immediately off Cape Charles, is about 37 degrees 15 m. of latitude, and contains about 4000 acres, a considerable part cleared.
The Island of Mocon lies immediately adjacent, and contains about 2000 acres, the most part cleared.
The soil on Smith's Island is finely productive, the climate so mild as to vegetate at all times, and support a great flock without any other food than the natural grass.
With respect to Smith's Island, some restrictions would be made concerning the stock, game, &c. the other would be let unconditionally. The advantages arising from fisheries at these places might be made very considerable. Salt works were formerly carried on likewise, but whether an object at this time, must be determined by those best acquainted.
Proposals may be addressed to me in Alexandria, to the care of Washington Craik, Esq. and shall be attended to.—Having a considerable quantity of the Georgia Sea Island or Black Seed Cotton in my possession, any person who might incline to make the experiment may be accommodated with the same—it was imported direct from the southward.
I cannot close my observations respecting this property, without remarking that it has long been subject to the depredations of evil minded persons. It has always been the desire, intention and orders of the subscriber, that the shipwrecked sailor receive on Smith's Island, every protection, comfort and assistance it is capable of affording; but the same disposition which will alleviate the distresses of the unfortunate, will punish the vices of the wicked.
