Late Foreign Intelligence.
FRENCH EMPIRE.
PARIS, May 19.
The Senate in a body went yesterday, as we have already noticed, to St. Cloud, for the purpose of presenting the Organic Senatus Consultum to the Emperor; the retinue was accompanied by several bodies of troops. The Senate was immediately on its arrival admitted to an audience of the Emperor. Consul Cambacérès, President of the Senate, spoke in these terms:
"SIRE, The Decree which the Senate has just rendered, and which it hastens to present to your Imperial Majesty, is but the authentic expression of a will already manifested by the nation. This decree, which conferred upon you a new title, and which ensures the inheritance of it, after you, to your race, adds nothing to your glory, nor to your rights."
"The love and acknowledgement of the French people have, for four years past, confided to your Majesty, the reigns of the government; and the constitutions of the State already trusted to you for the choice of a successor: The still higher denomination which is decreed for you, is, therefore, nothing more than a tribute which the nation pays to her own dignity; and to the desire she feels of giving you every day the testimonies of a respect and an attachment which increase daily."
"Ah! how could the French people find bounds to their acknowledgements, when you do not put any to your cares and solicititudes for them? How could they, preserving the remembrance of the hardships they have undergone when abandoned to themselves, think without enthusiasm of the happiness they experience since they were inspired by Providence to throw themselves into your arms? The armies were defeated; the finances in disorder; public credit annihilated; factions disputing among themselves the remains of our ancient splendor; ideas of religion and love of morals had become obscure; the habit of giving and taking back power, would leave the magistrate without importance, and had ever rendered odious every kind of authority."
"Your Majesty has appeared. You have recalled victory to our standards; you have established regulation and economy in the expenditure; the nation encouraged by the use you have made of it, has recovered confidence in its own resources; your wisdom has calmed the rage of party; religion has seen its altars raised anew; ideas of justice and injustice have awakened in the minds of the citizens, when they have beheld the punishment follow the crime, and honorable distinctions reward and signalize virtues. In short, and this is doubtless the greatest of miracles wrought by your genius, that people whom civil effervescence had rendered refractory to all restraint, and at enmity with all authority, you have known how to make them cherish and respect a power which existed only for their glory and their repose."
"The French people pretend not to sit in judgment on the constitutions of other states, they have no criticism to make, no examples to imitate; their lesson henceforward is derived from experience. They have for ages relished the advantages attached to hereditary power; they have made a short, but painful experiment, of a contrary system: they return, by a free & mature deliberation, to a path conformable to their genius."
"They make a free use of their rights, to delegate to Your Imperial Majesty a power of which their own interests forbid them the exercise. They covenant for generations to come; and, by a solemn compact, they confide the happiness of their nephews to the branches of your race.—The latter will imitate your virtues: the former will inherit our love and our fidelity."
"Happy the nation, which after so many troubles and uncertainties, finds in its bosom a man worthy to appease the tempest of the passions, to conciliate all interests, and to unite all voices!"
"Happy the Prince who holds his power from the will, the confidence, and the affection of the citizens! It is within the principles of our constitution (and already several similar examples have been given) to submit to the sanction of the people that part of the decree which concerns the establishment of hereditary government, the Senate has thought fit to supplicate your Imperial Majesty to agree that the organic dispositions should be immediately carried into execution; and for the glory as well as the happiness of the Republic, it now proclaims NAPOLEON, Emperor of the French. "
The Emperor made the following reply:
"Whatever can contribute to the good of the country, is essentially connected with my happiness. I accept the title which you think useful for the glory of the nation. I submit to the sanction of the people the law of heritage. I hope that France will never repent of the honors with which she encircles my family. At all events my spirit will have ceased to animate my posterity whenever they shall cease to deserve the love and the confidence of the great nation."
The Senate had then an audience of her Imperial Majesty, to whom the Consul Cambacérès addressed a speech of congratulation on her Imperial dignity.
Letters of His Imperial Majesty to the Consuls Cambacérès and Le Brun.
"Citizen Consul Cambacérès, Your title is about to be changed: your functions and my confidence remain the same. In the high dignity of Arch-Chancellor of the Empire (and of Arch-Treasurer) with which you are going to be invested, you will manifest, as you have done in that of Consul, the wisdom of your counsels, and the distinguished talents which have given you so important a part in every thing good I may have done. I have, therefore, nothing to desire from you but a continuation of the same sentiments for the state and for myself."
Given at the Palace of St. Cloud, 28th Floreal, Year 12.
NAPOLEON.
By the Emperor. H. B. Maret, Secretary of State.
The Members and principal Clerks of the different branches of administration took the oaths prescribed by the Organic Senatus Consultum, "I swear obedience to the constitutions of the Empire, and fidelity to the Emperor." The troops in Paris have also taken the same oath in the Champ de Mars.
Extraordinary sitting of the Tribunate, 29th Floreal, (19th May.)
On the proposition of M. Chabot, (de l'Allier) the tribunate decrees, that they will proceed in a body to His Imperial Majesty; and that there shall be opened at the Secretary's office, a register in which every tribunate shall inscribe his vote; and also decree, upon the proposition of M. Albisson, that a medal shall be struck to commemorate the happy event which fixes the destiny of the French Empire.
ORGANIC SENATUS CONSULTUM, Of the 28th Floreal!
The Conservative Senate, having formed a quorum agreeably to the 90th article of the Constitution; having seen the project of the Senatus Consultum digested in the form presented by article 57 of the Organic Senatus consultum of the constitution of the 16th Thermidor, year 10; after having heard upon the motives of the said project, the Orator of the government, the adoption having been determined by the number of votes required by the article 56 of the Organic Senatus Consultum of the constitution, decrees as follows.
TITLE I.
Art. The government of the republic shall be entrusted to an emperor who assumes the title of Emperor of the French. Justice shall be administered in the name of the Emperor, by officers of the French.
TITLE II.—Hereditament
3. The Imperial dignity shall be hereditary in the direct, natural, and legitimate descent of Napoleon Bonaparte, from male to male, by order of primogeniture, and to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descent.
4. Napoleon Bonaparte may adopt the children or grandchildren of his brothers provided they have attained to the age of eighteen years complete, and that he himself has no male heirs at the time of adoption. His adopted sons enter into the line of his descent. if he has any male children posterior to adoption, his adopted sons can succeed only after the natural and legitimate descendants. Adoption is interdicted to the successors of Napoleon Bonaparte and their descendants.
5. In default of a natural legitimate heir or adopted heir of Napoleon Bonaparte, the imperial dignity shall devolve to and be conferred on Joseph Bonaparte, and his natural and legitimate descendants in orders of primogeniture; to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants.
6. In default of Joseph Bonaparte and his male descendants, the imperial dignity shall devolve to and be conferred on Louis Bonaparte and his natural and legitimate descendants in the orders of primogeniture from male to male, and to the perpetual exclusion of females, and their descendants.
7. In default of a natural and legitimate heir, or adopted heir of Napoleon Bonaparte, failing a natural or legitimate heir of Joseph Bonaparte and his male descendants, of Louis Bonaparte and his male descendants, an Organic Senatus Consultum proposed to the senate by the titularies, of the great dignities of the Empire and submitted to the acceptance of the people shall nominate the Emperor, and regulate in his family the order of hereditament from male to male, to the perpetual exclusion of females and of their descendants.
8. Until the moment of the election of the new Emperor, the affairs of state shall be governed by the ministers, who shall form in council the government, and who shall deliberate by a majority of voices. The Secretary of state shall keep a journal of the deliberations.
TITLE III.—Of the Imperial family.
9. The members of the imperial family in the order of hereditament shall bear the title of French princes. The eldest son of the Emperor shall be styled imperial prince.
10. The mode of Education for the French Princes shall be regulated by a Senatus Consultum.
11. They are members of Senate and of the Council of state, when they they have attained to their 18th year.
12. They cannot marry without the consent of the Emperor. The marriage of a French prince without the consent of the Emperor, incurs the privation of all right of inheritance, both for the individual who has contracted it, and for his descendants.
13. The acts which attest the birth, the marriages and deaths of members of the imperial family, shall be transmitted, by order from the Emperor, to the Senate, who shall order them to be inscribed in their Journals, and deposited among their archives.
14. Napoleon Bonaparte shall establish, by statutes, to which his successors are bound to conform—1st. the duties of the individuals of both sexes who are members of the imperial family, towards the Emperor—2d. An organization of the imperial palace, conformably to the dignity of the throne and grandeur of the nation.
15. The civil list remains regulated in the same manner as it was by the first and fourth articles of the decree of May 26, 1791. The princes Joseph and Louis Bonaparte, and in the future the younger natural and legitimate sons of the Emperor shall be treated agreeably to the articles 1, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the decrees of December 21, 1790. The Emperor may fix the jointure of the Empress and refer it to the civil list. His successors can introduce no change in the dispositions made in this respect.
16. The Emperor shall visit the departments. Palaces shall therefore be established in the four principal points of the Empire. These palaces shall be fixed, and their dependencies established by a law.
TITLE IV.—Of the Regency.
17. The Emperor is a minor till the age of eighteen years complete: during his minority there shall be a Regency of the Empire.
18. The Regent must be at least 21 years of age complete: females are excluded from the Regency.
19. The Emperor chooses the Regent from among the French princes who have attained to the age prescribed by the preceding article: and failing them from among the titularies of the great dignities of the Empire.
20. Failing resignation on the part of the Emperor, the Regency shall devolve to the prince nearest in degree in the order of inheritance, who has attained to 25 years complete.
21. In cases where the Emperor has not chosen the Regent, if none of the French princes have attained the age of 25 years complete. The Senate shall choose the Regent from the titularies of the great dignities of the Empire.
22. When on account of the minority of a prince called to the Regency in the order of inheritance, it has been conferred on a more distant relation, or one of the titularies of the great dignities of the Empire, the Regent who has entered on the exercise of his functions shall continue them till the majority of the Emperor.
23. No Organic Senatus Consultum can be passed during the Regency, nor before the end of the third year after the majority.
24. The Regent shall exercise till the majority of the Emperor, all the attributes of imperial dignity: he cannot however nominate to the grand dignities of the Em-

to the places of the great Officers may be vacant at the period of the Regency, or which may become vacant during the minority, nor use the prerogative reserved for the Emperor of raising citizens to the rank of Senator. He cannot dismiss either the grand judge or the Secretary of state.  15. He is not personally responsible for acts of his administration.  16. All acts of the Regency are in the name of the Emperor under age.  17. The Regent can propose no project of law or Senatus Consultum and can alter no regulation of public administration until he has consulted the council of Regency, composed of the titularies of the great dignities of the empire. He cannot declare war or sign treaties of peace, alliance or commerce, until after deliberation of the Council of Regency; the Members in which in this case only have a deliberative voice. The decision shall be by a majority of voices, and if there be an equality of voices, that of the Regent shall determine it. The Minister of foreign Relations shall have a seat in the Council of Regency, when the Council deliberates on affairs relating to its department. The Grand Judge, Minister of Justice, may be called to it by order of the Regent. The Secretary of State shall keep a journal of the deliberations.  23. The Regency can confer no right on any person of the minor Emperor.  29. The salary of the Regent is fixed at the fourth of the amount of the civil list.  30. The care of the minor Emperor is entrusted to his mother; and failing her, to a Prince chosen for that purpose by the predecessor of the minor Emperor. Failing the mother of the minor Emperor, and a Prince chosen by the Emperor, the Senate shall entrust the care of the minor Emperor to one of the titularies of the great dignities of the Empire. Neither the Regent, nor his descendants or females, can be chosen to take charge of the minor Emperor.  31. In case Napoleon Bonaparte shall have the faculty conferred on him by the 4th article of Title II, the act of adoption shall be performed in the presence of the titularies of the great dignities of the Empire; shall be received by the Secretary of State, and immediately transmitted to the Senate to be inscribed in the journals and deposited among the archives; when the Emperor nominates either a Regent for the minority, or a Prince to take charge of the minor Emperor, the same formalities shall be observed; the acts of nomination, either of a Regent for the minority, or of a Prince to take charge of the minor Emperor, are revocable at the pleasure of the Emperor; every act of adoption, nomination, or revocation of a nomination, which has not been inscribed in the journals of the Senate before the death of the Emperor, shall be null and void. (To be continued.)
cendency which the English have gained in Egypt, while it is not less alarmed at the pretended projects of France respecting the Morea. The English consul at Cairo, M. de Misette, changed his title, and has taken that of charge d'affairs for the Beys. The merchants of Alexandria had become apprehensive lest the English should send a garrison into that place. The property of Effi Bey is stated to have fallen into the hands of his enemies, and his whole family to have been ruined, in consequence of his alliance with England.
LETTER OF GENERAL MOREAU TO THE FIRST CONSUL. Temple, 17 Ventose, year 12.
"A month has nearly elapsed since I am detained as an accomplice of Georges and Pichegru and perhaps I am destined to appear before the tribunals to exonerate myself from the crime of an attempt against the safety of the state, and the chief of the government.  "I was far from thinking that after having passed through the revolution and the war, exempt from the least reproach of incivism and of ambition; and especially when, at the head of the great victorious armies, I might have had the means of gratifying those passions; that it would be at a moment when living as a simple citizen, occupied with my family, and seeing a very small number of friends, I should be accused of such folly. No doubt but my former connection with general Pichegru have given rise to this accusation.  "Before speaking in my justification, permit me, General, to retrograde to the source of that connection; and I doubt not but I can convince you that the intercourse which one may preserve with an ancient chief and an ancient friend, though divided in opinion, and having served different parties, is far from being criminal.  "General Pichegru came to take the command of the Army of the North in the beginning of the year two. I then had been general of brigade for about 6 months. I was fulfilling ad interim the functions of divisionary. Satisfied with some success and of my dispositions at the outset, he speedily obtained for me the grade I was momentarily fulfilling.  "On entering upon the campaign, he gave me the command of half the army, and intrusted me with most important operations.  "Two months before the close of the campaign, his health obliged him to absent himself; government charged me, at his recommendation, with finishing the conquest of part of Dutch Brabant, and of Guelders. After the winter campaign, which rendered us masters of the remainder of Holland he passed to the Army of the Rhine, naming me for his successor; and the National Convention intrusted me with the command he had just quitted. One year afterwards I again filled up his place in the Army of the Rhine, he being called to the Legislative Body; and from that time I ceased having frequent intercourse with him.  "In the short campaign of the year five, we took the chests of the general staff of the enemy's army; a great quantity of papers were brought to me, which general Desaix, who then was wounded, amused himself in perusing. It appeared to us, by this correspondence that general Pichegru had had some connections with the French Princes.  "This discovery gave us much concern, and to me particularly. We agreed to let it be forgotten. Pichegru, in the Legislative Body, could so little injure the public tranquility, that peace was assured. However, took some precautions for the safety of the army, in regard of an espionage that might be hurtful to it. These researches and the deciphering, were confided to the hands of different persons.  "The events of the 18th Fructidor were rumoured; the uneasiness was great; in consequence of which, two officers who had knowledge of this correspondence engaged me to give notice to government, and gave me to understand that it was becoming public, and that at Strasburgh they were preparing to inform the Directory thereof.  "I was a public functionary, and could not preserve a longer silence: but, without addressing myself directly to government, I wrote of it in confidence to the director Barthelemi, one of its members, requesting his opinion and telling him that these papers, although genuine, were not sufficient judiciary proof, as none of them were signed, and nearly the whole written in cyphers.
"My letter arrived in Paris a few moments after citizen Barthelemi's arrest; and the Director to whom it was remitted required of me the papers I had mentioned.  "Pichegru went to Cayenne and returned afterwards to Germany and England; I had no connection with him. A short time after the peace with England, M. David, uncle of general Souham, who had passed a year with him in the army of the north, wrote me that Pichegru was the only one of the Fructidores not returned; and he mentioned that he was surprised to hear that it was upon my opposition alone that you refused his return to France. I replied to M. David, that so far from opposing I would make it a duty to demand it. He communicated my letter to several persons, and I have positive assurance that this demand has been made to you.  "Some time afterward M. David wrote to me that he enjoined Pichegru to ask you himself for his recall; but that he had answered he would not demand it without the certainty of its being granted. Above all he charged him to thank me for the answer I had made to the imputation of being opposed to his return; that he had never thought me capable of such an act; and that he even knew, that in the affair of the correspondence of Klinglin, I had found myself in a very delicate situation. M. David again wrote me three or four very insignificant letters upon the subject. Since his arrestation he wrote to me requesting I would take some steps in his favor. I was very sorry that my distance from government would not permit me to enlighten your justice in that respect; and I doubt not but it would have been easy to remove the prejudices you might have received. I heard no more of Pichegru but very indirectly, and by persons whom the war obliged to return to France. From that period to this, during the two first campaigns in Germany, and since the peace, he has made distant overtures to me, to know if it would be possible to draw me into a coalition with the French Princes. I found all this so ridiculous, that I did not even reply to his overtures.  "As to the actual conspiracy, I can equally assure you that I am far from having the smallest part in it. I acknowledge to you that I am at a loss to conceive how a handful of scattered men could hope to effect a change in the state, and to replace upon the throne a family which the efforts of all Europe, aided by civil war, could not succeed in accomplishing; and that, above all, I should be so unreasonable, by concurring, to lose the fruits of all my labor, which would have insured me perpetual reproaches.  "I repeat to you, General, whatever proposition has been made to me I have rejected, and have considered it as the basest of follies; and that when the chances of a descent upon England have been represented to me as favorable to a change of government, I have answered that the Senate was the authority to which all Frenchmen would yield obedience in case of trouble; and that I should be the first to submit to its orders.  "Such overtures made to me, an insolated citizen, not wishing to preserve any kind of relation either with the army of which nine tenths have served under my orders, or with any of the constituted authorities, could not but meet with my refusal. To become an informer was too repugnant to my character; to always judge with severity becomes odious, and impresses a seal of reprobation on him who has rendered himself guilty of it towards persons to whom he owed gratitude, and with whom he was in ancient connections of friendship. Duty itself will some times yield to the voice of public opinion.  "This general, is what I had to say respecting my connection with Pichegru. It will doubtless convince you that very false and dangerous inferences have been drawn from my steps and actions, which, though perhaps imprudent, were far from being criminal; and I doubt not, had you requested an explanation of most of the facts which I would have hastened to give you, they would have prevented the regret of ordering a detention, and to me the humiliation of being in fetters, perhaps obliged to appear before the tribunals to say that I am no conspirator, and to appeal for my justification to a probity of 25 years which has never been impeached, and to the service which I have rendered to my country. I shall not dwell upon these, general; I flatter myself they are not yet effaced from your memory; but I will remind you that if the desire of taking a part in the French Government had been for a single moment the object my services and of my ambition, the career was open before me in a very advantageous manner some time be-
fore your return from Egypt; and surely you have not forgot the disinterestedness I shewed in seconding you on the 13th Brumair.  "Our enemies since that time have kept us asunder.—It is with much regret I find I am obliged to speak of myself and what I have done: but in a moment when I am accused of being an accomplice of those who are considered as acting at the instigation of England, I shall perhaps have to defend myself against her snares, I have the vanity to believe she must judge of the injuries I can do her from those I have already done.  "If I obtain, general, your complete attention, I have no doubt of your justice.  "I shall wait your decision of my fate with the tranquility of innocence, but not without apprehension of seeing those enemies triumph who are always attracted by celebrity.  I am, with respect, MOREAU, General."

RAN AWAY From the subscriber, on the 12th instant, living in Fauquier county, four miles from Hay Market, or the Red House, two Negroes Jerry and Davy. Jerry is of a yellow complexion, about 23 or 24 years of age, about six feet high, his fingers on his right hand have been burnt, off a little below the fifth joints, he makes the most use of his left hand—has a large scar on the pit of his stomach occasioned by a burn, another scar on the side of his head, also by a burn when a child. I think any other description unnecessary. DAVY is about 27 years of age, five feet seven or eight inches high, is of a yellow complexion, and sees but imperfectly in the night; has a large beard, and is a very full, flight fellow. I will give Ten Dollars for each, if apprehended and committed to any jail within this state, or Fifteen Dollars each for their confinement in any jail without the state, so that I get them again. Their clothing were coarse country tow linen shirts and trowsers. Davy had a new wool hat, with a black ribbon and buckle. James Gunnell. July 31.

15,000 tickets at 10 dollars each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fif- teen per cent.
This Lottery has been authorised by the le- gislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses at- tendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their ut- most exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each each adver- turer a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to fortunate adventurers. It is be- lieved that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of the tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.

Twenty Five Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from the subscriber's farm, in the county of Alexandria, district of Columbia, a Mulatto man called NATT COOK , about 6 feet high, between 35 and 40 years of age, long hair which he wears tied, a lock of white hair on the front of his head, a little to the left, a coop- er by trade; he has several scars on his arms and wrists, a scar on his back occasioned by a scald, and several marks from a whip; he is very fond of drink and gambling; he took with him a va- riety of clothes and some cooper's tools. He crossed the Potomac at Georgetown a few days since, and will probably make for Baltimore, as he has been very anxious for some time past to go to sea. I will give the above reward for securing said fellow in any jail, so that I get him again, or thirty dollars , with reasonable charges if brought home. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned harbouring, em- ploying or carrying off said fellow at their peril. C. F. Whiting. July 11. d
ANDREW. A reward of Thirty Dollars is offered to any person for apprehending and securing the said fel- low in any jail out of the state, so that I get him again— Twenty Dollars if secured in like manner within the district of Columbia, or at the distance of 40 miles from home, and Ten Dollars , with reasonable charges if brought home, or secured in the jail of Fairfax or Loudoun. Andrew ab- sconded on the night of the 7th instant; he is a bright M c Cart , about 27 years of age, rather low of stature, squat and thick made, broad shoul- ders, and short dark hair; has one or more scars on his back from a scald when young; wore when he went away, a ticklenburg shirt, a pair of nan- keen overalls, striped silk jacket, a hat and pair of old shoes, and of late wore suspenders; he is fond of liquor and much addicted to gaming, for- ward and assuming, very artful, and will attempt to pass for a free white man. He is a good cook and washer, understands business about a house as a waiter, and will probably offer himself as such; he is also a good mower, and is capable of other plantation work. He has a free mother in Georgetown, and I suspect he may for a time endeavour to secrete himself there or about the neighbourhood. A Mulatto man by the name of Ned belonging to Mr. Thos. Blincee, of Loudoun county, was missing the next day, and it is supposed they are gone off together. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harbouring or carrying off the above slave.

THE SUBSCRIBER, With a view of closing his out standing ac- counts, and that he may have it in his power to remove from Alexandria, in case his interest may require it, will offer for sale the following Very valuable Property, viz.

A more particular descri- ption is deemed unnecessary, as it is supposed that those desirous of purchasing will view them, and for this purpose any time before the sale, by calling on the subscriber, he will show them. When the growing state of Alexandria is consi- dered, and the immense expense incurred in im- proving wharf property, it is presumed it will be desirable for merchants intending to reside here to possess it.

Gupin's, which is large, com- modious and well finished, with the front fitted for a store, and with as good a cellar as any in the town for business.
