The following is copied from one of our late Paris papers, and cannot be perused without interest by Americans. As political and historical documents we have conceived that they merited our attention...
The grand designs of Buonaparte are developed in these documents, and to render permanent the dynasty which he has established, no precautions are omitted.
If there should remain yet in France any of those wretches, who have waded thro' rivers of blood, who have stained the national character, with a dye, that the lapse of centuries cannot efface...
But thus it has ever been, and ever will be, in revolutions, which are agitated without a virtuous object, the credulous multitude labour for the bold and artful demagogue.
It is easy to perceive from an attentive perusal of the following documents, that an HEREDITARY NOBILITY, is in contemplation, and which in France is the same as if already established.
NO. 1. NAPOLEON, BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE, EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH AND KING OF ITALY, to all present and to come, greeting:
Art. XIV. of the act of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal year 12, states that we shall establish by statutes to which our successors shall be bound to conform...
The state of the Princes called on to reign over this vast empire, and to fortify it by alliances cannot be absolutely the same as that of other Frenchmen.
Their births, marriages, and deaths, and the adoptions they make, interest the whole nation, and have a greater or less influence over its destinies...
Such important acts as those which ascertain the civil department of the imperial house, must be received in the most solemn forms, the dignity of the throne requires it...
We have in consequence thought proper to intrust to our cousin the Arch-chancellor of the empire, the right of filling exclusively with regard to us and the princes and princesses of our house...
After having regulated the department of the princes and princesses of our blood, our solicitude must be directed to the education of their children...
We afterwards considered the princes and princesses, in the common actions of life. The conduct of princes has frequently disturbed the tranquillity of the people, and rent the state.
We have also thought that the princes of the empire, titularies of the grand dignities, being called on by their eminent prerogatives to serve as examples to the rest of our subjects...
So many precautions would no doubt be useless, were the sovereigns who are destined to sit one day on the imperial throne to enjoy, like us, the advantage of seeing around them only relations devoted to their service...
On account of these causes, we have decreed and do decree the present statute, to which, in execution of Art. 14, of the act of the constitutions of the empire...
FIRST ARTICLE. Of the department of the princes and princesses of the imperial house. Sec. I. The emperor is the chief and common father of his family.
II. If the emperor be himself a minor, the rights mentioned in the preceding article belong to the regent, who cannot exercise them but by virtue of a deliberation of the council of regency...
III. The imperial house is composed, 1 o . Of the princes comprising in the hereditary order established by the act of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal, year 12...
2 o . Of the princesses our sisters, their husbands and descendants in lawful marriage, unto the fifth degree inclusively.
3 o . Of our children of adoption and their legitimate descendants.
IV. The marriages of the princes and princesses of the imperial house, at whatever age they may have arrived, shall be void and of no effect, by full right and without judgment being necessary...
This consent shall be expressed in a closed letter, countersigned by the Arch-chancellor of the empire. It shall alone suffice and stand in lieu of dispensation of age and parentage...
V. All children born of a union not contracted conformably to the dispositions of the preceding article, shall be reputed illegitimate, so that neither they nor their father and mother can pretend by virtue of this union...
VI. The matrimonial conventions of the princes and princesses of the imperial house are null, unless approved by the emperor, without the parties being able, in this case, to claim any exception by virtue of the dispositions of the civil code...
VII. Divorces are forbidden to the members of the imperial house of both sexes and of all ages.
VIII. They may, however, demand bodily separation. It shall take place by the sole authority of the emperor, without form or process.
IX. The property of the princes and princesses of the imperial house, whose father is deceased, shall be, during their minority, administered by one or several guardians appointed by the emperor.
X. These guardians shall give an account of their guardianship to the family council, hereafter spoken of.
XI. The family council shall exercise over the guardian, in every thing concerning the administration of the guardian, a coactive and contentious jurisdiction.
XII. The members of the imperial house cannot without the express consent of the emperor, either adopt, or take on themselves any officious guardianship, nor acknowledge their natural children.
XIII. The interdict of the princes and princesses of the imperial house, in the case provided against by art. 189 of the civil code, is pronounced by the family council.
The judgment has no effect until after having been approved by the emperor. The family council will exercise over the curator, the person interdicted and his property, the same authority and jurisdiction, as amongst private persons...
ARTICLE II. Of the acts relative to the department of the princes and princesses of the imperial house. XIV. The arch chancellor of the empire shall exclusively fulfil, with regard to us and the princes and princesses of our house...
He shall receive in consequence, the certificates of birth, adoption, marriage, and all other certificates prescribed or authorised by the civil code.
XV. These certificates shall be transcribed on a double register, kept by the secretary of state of the imperial household, numbered by first and last, and marked on each page by the arch chancellor.
The secretary of state of the imperial household shall be appointed by the emperor, and chosen amongst the functionaries who form or have formed part of the ministry or council of state.
XVI. The secretary of state of the imperial household, shall remain depositary of these registers. He shall deliver the extracts of the certificates contained in them, which shall be examined by the arch chancellor.
XVII. When these registers are finished, they shall be closed and adjusted by the arch chancellor; one of the duplicates shall remain in the imperial archives, the other shall be deposited in the archives of the senate...
XVIII. The acts shall be drawn up in the forms established by the civil code, except what is regulated by art. 31, of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal year 12, for the acts of adoption...
XIX. The emperor shall appoint the witnesses who shall be present at the drawing up the certificates of birth and marriage of the members of the imperial house.
Should he be absent from the place, where the acts...

tificate is drawn up, or should there be no one appointed by him, the arch-chancellor shall be bound to take the witnesses amongst the princes of the blood, following the order of their proximity to the throne; after them, amongst the princes of the empire, titularies of the grand dignities; and in default of the latter, amongst the great officers of the empire and the members of the senate.
XX. The arch-chancellor can receive no certificate of marriage of the princes and princesses, nor any certificate of adoption or acknowledgement of natural children, until the authority of the emperor has appeared. For this purpose, whenever the case happens, a closed letter shall be addressed to him which shall also inform him of the place where the certificate ought to be received. This letter shall be transcribed at length in the certificate.
XXI. The abovementioned certificates, which, under particular circumstances, may be drawn up in the absence of the arch-chancellor, shall be delivered to him by the person appointed to supply his place.
These certificates shall be inscribed on the register, and the minute shall remain annexed to the same, after having been examined by the arch-chancellor.
XXII. The certificate which shall fix the empress's dowry, shall be received by the arch-chancellor, assisted by the secretary of state of the imperial household, who shall write it in presence of two witnesses appointed by the emperor.
This certificate, whether closed or open, according as the emperor may determine, shall be deposited in the senate by the arch-chancellor.
XXIII. When the emperor shall judge proper to make his will by public act, the arch-chancellor, assisted by the secretary of state of the imperial household, shall receive his last will, which shall be written under the dictamen of the emperor by the secretary of state of the imperial household in presence of two witnesses.
In this case, the act, shall be written on the register mentioned in the 15th article abovementioned.
XXIV. If the emperor disposes by mystic testament, the act of subscription shall be drawn up by the arch-chancellor inscribed by the secretary of state of the imperial household. They shall both sign with the emperor and the six witnesses whom he shall have appointed.
The mystic testament of the emperor shall be deposited in the senate by the arch-chancellor.
XXV. After the demise of the princes & princesses of the imperial house, the seals shall be affixed in their palaces and houses by the secretary of state of the imperial household, and, in case of hindrance, by a counsellor of state appointed for this purpose by the arch-chancellor of the empire.
ARTICLE III.
Of the education of the princes and princesses of the imperial house.
XXVI. The emperor regulates every thing that concerns the education of the children of the princes and princesses of his house. He appoints and revokes at will those who are charged with it, and determines the places where it is to be performed.
XXVII. All the princes born in the order of hereditament shall be brought up together and by the same preceptors and officers, either in the palace which the emperor inhabits, or in another palace, within ten myriametres (10 leagues) of his habitable residence.
XXVIII. Their course of education shall begin at the age of seven years, and shall finish when they have attained their sixteenth year.
The children of those who have distinguished themselves by their services, may be admitted by the emperor to share the advantages of it.
XXIX. The case happening wherein a prince, in the order of hereditament, shall ascend a foreign throne, he shall be held, when his male children have attained the age of seven years, to send them to the above mentioned house, there to receive their education.
ARTICLE IV.
Of the power of watchfulness, discipline and police which the emperor exercises in the interior of his family.
XXX. The princes and princesses of the imperial house, whatever may be their age, cannot, without the order or without leave of the emperor, go out of the territory of the empire, nor remove more than fifteen myriametres (30 leagues) from the city in which the imperial residence happens to be established.
XXXI. If a member of the imperial house should misbehave and forget his dignity or his duty, the emperor may inflict, for a determined period, and which shall not exceed a year, the following penalties, to wit:
Arrest. Removal from his person. Exile.
XXXII. The emperor may order the members of the imperial house to remove from themselves the persons who may appear suspicious to him, although these persons should not make a part of their household.
ARTICLE V.
Of the Family Council.
XXXIII. There shall be a family council attached to the emperor. Independent of the attributes which are given to this council by the articles X, XI and XII of the present statute, it shall take cognizance,
1°. Of the complaints made against the princes and princesses of the imperial house, whenever they shall not have for object offences of the nature of those which, according to the terms of Art. CI of the Act of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal year, 12, are to be tried by the high court.
2°. Of actions merely personal, commenced, either by the princes or princesses of the imperial house or against them.
With regard to real, mixed, actions, they shall continue to be laid before the ordinary tribunals.
XXXIV. The family council shall be presided by the emperor, and in default of him by the arch-chancellor of the empire, who shall always make a part of it.
It shall be further composed of the prince of the imperial house designated by the emperor, of him of the princes grand dignitaries of the empire who shall have the first rank of seniority, of the senior marshal of the empire, of the chancellor of the senate and of the court of Cassation.
The grand judge minister of justice shall perform the functions of the public ministry in the council.
The secretary of state of the imperial household, shall be secretary.
The papers and minutes of the judgment shall be deposited in the imperial archives.
XXXV. The demands susceptible of being presented to the council, shall be previously communicated to the arch-chancellor, who shall render an account of them, in eight days at farthest, to the emperor, and shall take his orders.
XXXVI. If the emperor orders that the affair be prosecuted before the council, the arch-chancellor shall first proceed to conciliation.
The report containing the depositions, avowals & propositions of the parties interested, shall be drawn up by the secretary of state of the imperial household. The accommodation which the parties may agree to, shall only have effect after being approved by the emperor.
XXXVII. The family council is not bound to follow the usual forms, either in the trial of the causes brought before it, or in the judgments it renders.
Nevertheless it must always hear the parties, either by themselves or by their attorney, and must assign motives for its judgments.
It must also have been pronounced within a month. XXXVIII. The judgments given by the family council are not susceptible of being appealed from, to the court of cassation. They are signified to the parties, by requisition of the grand judge, by the tipstaffs of the Hall or any other appointed for the same.
XXXIX. When the family council determines on complaints, and thinks them well grounded, it confines itself to declaring that the person against whom they are laid is reprehensible by the fact which the complaint specifies, and refers for the remainder to the emperor.
XL. If the emperor does not think fit to use indulgence, he pronounces one of the penalties decreed by article 31, and even according to the gravity of the fact, the penalty of two years confinement in one of the state prisons.

No. 3.
NAPOLEON, BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE CONSTITUTIONS, EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH, AND KING OF ITALY, to all those who shall see these presents, GREETING:
The interest of our people, the honor of our crown, and the tranquillity of the continent of Europe, requiring that we should secure in a stable and definitive manner the lot of the people of Naples and Sicily, fallen into our power by the right of conquest, and making besides a part of the Great empire, we have declared and do declare by these presents to acknowledge for king of Naples and Sicily, our well-beloved brother Joseph Napoleon, grand elector of France. This crown shall be hereditary by order of primogeniture, in his male legitimate and natural descendants. His said descendants coming to be extinct, which God forbid, we intend to call to it our male legitimate and natural children, by order of primogeniture, and in default of our male, legitimate and natural children, by order of primogeniture, reserving to ourselves, if our brother should happen to die in our life-time without leaving any male, legitimate and natural children, the right of designating, to succeed to the said crown, a prince of our house or even of calling to it an adopted child, child, according as we shall judge proper for the interest of our people and for the advantage of the great system which divine providence has destined us to found.

All the details of the said fiefs are committed to the care of our said brother Joseph Napoleon.
We reserve to ourselves on the said kingdom of
Naples and Sicily, the disposal of a million income to be distributed to the generals, officers and soldiers of our army who have rendered the most service to the country and to the throne, and whom we shall designate for this purpose, under the express condition of not being able, the said generals, officers or soldiers, before the expiration of ten years, to sell or alienate the said incomes, but by our authority.
The king of Naples shall be in perpetuity grand dignitary of the empire, under the title of Grand Elector, we reserve, however, when we shall judge proper, to create the dignity of Prince Vice Grand Elector.
We intend that the crown of Naples and Sicily, which we place on the head of our brother Joseph Napoleon and his descendants, shall not prejudice in any manner their right of succession to the throne of France. But it is equally our will that the crown either of France or Italy or of Naples and Sicily, shall never be united on the same head.
Given at our palace of the Tuileries, the 30th March 1806.

FRENCH EXPOSE.
From the Moniteur.
PARIS, April 18.
"England has declared war against Prussia. All the king's ships have received orders to attack the Prussian vessels, and letters of marque have been issued to privateers. Is this a just proceeding on the part of the English government? Is it a politic one? These are questions which it is not our intention to examine. It is sufficient for us to discover, that this measure is advantageous to France, that one of its first consequences will be to shut the north against the English trade; and there is little wisdom on the part of England, in acting so towards a considerable power, whom she forces into a nearer connexion with France; and who she determines to remove from her councils the agents and the influence of England. France and Prussia can, if they please, shut the sound. If England had learned how to accommodate her policy to circumstances, she would have maintained her party and her creatures in credit in Berlin. She would have rendered the blockade of the ports of the north less severe, she would have, in fact, preserved the advantage which she derives from the Prussian flag; for commerce has occasion for intermediate agents between the merchant and the consumer. But, however it may be, we cannot consider this new political event but as tending to accelerate peace, for assuredly, Prussia is neither a weak enemy for England, nor a weak ally for France—We know that there are persons who accustom themselves with difficulty to the idea of these connexions between France and Prussia, but they do not see that the hesitation which was first manifested by the latter cabinet, depended upon temporary circumstances, which have neither altered the principles of the king, nor those of his most faithful and intelligent servants. If there was anything which gave offence to France, it could only be imputed to a frantic minister, who was sold to England, who was formerly in her service, and who quit it for reasons which the dignity of this paper will not allow us to mention. It may perhaps be supposed, that England in the new circumstances in which she finds herself with regard to Prussia, had no medium left her, and could not avoid declaring war. But the occupation of Hanover, by Prussia, was the only means of preventing the French from returning to that country; and if they had returned, the freedom of the English trade would not have been the greater. It may be said, that Prussia has not yet shut the ports of the Elbe and Weser, as they were by the French, but that the occupation was made in the name of the king, and in the same form as if he was determined to annex this fine province to his vast monarchy. However, there is nothing to prove that this was the intention of Prussia; and it is very possible that the cession of Cleves, Anspach and Neufchatel, may relate to some other principles or arrangement, since the population of all the three does not equal a 5th of the population of Hanover. Some discussion, therefore, might have taken place between Prussia and England; and the wisest course would have been, not to have begun by declaring war. Supposing occupation to be equal to final incorporation, England, instead of avoiding that consequence, makes it more certain, for whatever losses the Prussian trade may experience during two or three years war, she will be indemnified by the more considerable loss which the trade of the enemy will sustain? and England submits to these losses for an interest which the English nation has always disavowed—It has always considered Hanover as a foreign property, solely belonging to the house of Brunswick. How happens it that it has so suddenly changed its principles in this respect."
It appears that M. Schimmelpfennick, the grand pensionary of Holland, has entirely lost his sight. Who is to be his successor? What effect will be produced by this change in the magistracy? These questions excite the attention and anxiety of all the Dutch who are sincerely attached to the country. It is well known, that the emperor never gave any positive sanction to the late changes in the constitution of that country, and he said, on that occasion, that the prosperity and liberty of nations could only be assured by two modes of government—either a tempered and constitutional monarchy, or a republic constituted according to the theory of liberty, and which should be the true organ of the public will. All nations cannot with safety leave to the people the choice of their representatives; and when a nation has to apprehend the effects of assembling the people; when the advantages which it expects are less than the inconveniences which it foresees; such a nation, which cannot find a protection under a republican form of government, has recourse to the principles of a good and prudent monarch. Under the
present constitution of Holland, the grand pensionary has more power than the king has in England—he has even more than the emperor has in France, or any other sovereign has in any country; and, what is without example in a republic, their high mightinesses, or the representative and legislative bodies, have been nominated by the grand pensionary. The defect of this constitution cannot escape the observation of the sagacious. That cannot be called a republic, where the representative and legislative bodies are not nominated by the electors; and if there be any fear of the electors, it will be best to renounce at once the republican form of government. A government which neither having the advantages of a republic nor of a monarchy, combines all the inconveniences of both, should not be absolutely prescribed. Such being the situation of Holland, she must be a gainer by any changes she may make in her constitution. If the landholders, the merchants, the enlightened men, are of opinion that they can have a representation made by the choice of the people without distinction of classes or religion, they will create a system much more proper than the present one. If that be not their opinion, and that they think it necessary to have recourse to a constitutional monarchy, they will do that which will be more advantageous to their country than the preservation of their existing constitution can be. It is their duty to examine their situation, to judge of the circumstances in which they are placed, and to choose between the two systems that which is best suited to them, and the most likely to establish on a sound foundation, the public prosperity and liberty.
"Bavaria has taken possession of the margraviate of Anspach, and has ceded to France the duchy of Berg, which, united with that of Cleves, is settled upon prince Joachim. Wessel is a strong fortress on our frontiers. The duchy of Cleves gives us an advantageous point of contact with Holland, & France, for the future, will only find on the right bank of the Rhine, princes who are allied by blood to the imperial family."
"General Oudinot has taken possession of the countries Neufchatel and Valengin. He found those countries loaded with English merchandise, heaped there by merchants of Switzerland, and principally by those of Basle. Of these the French army has taken to the amount of many millions: all the banks of the Neufchatel were covered with French manufactures. This circumstance justifies all the prohibitory measures which may be taken with regard to Switzerland. That country is little more, at this moment, than a warehouse for English goods. When it shall be cleared of these manufactures, we shall perhaps have the means of giving a new check to our enemy. Is it possible that the Landamman was not struck with the danger to which he exposed the country? Who will protect Basle from a visit from the French army? Does this magistrate, who sees smuggling carried on by wholesale under his eyes, suppose that he is not responsible? If the French consider these depots of prohibited goods so publicly made, and to such great extent, a real act of hostility, if the French government multiplies prohibitory laws between Switzerland, France and Italy, will not the Landamman be the cause of it? and will not all the complaints the Swiss may make be unjustly and ill-founded?"
"Dalmatia is occupied by the French army. It is separated from the mouth of the Cattaro by the republic of Ragusa; the country is mountainous, and the roads are bad. The French troops have arrived at Ragusa, when the fort of Castel-Nuovo was delivered to 300 Russians, by gen. Brady, who commanded 2000 Austrians. This general, whose ancestors were English, has been waiting in respect to France, and has betrayed his master. Upon receiving this information, marshall Berthier gave order that Braunau, which defends the frontier of the Inn, and which was to have been given up on the 1st of April, should not be restored, and that it should be again garrisoned. The division of the grand army, which was on its way to France, has halted. The prisoners of war that were to have been sent back to Germany, have been detained, until further orders, in the places at which they were."
This outrage offered by Russia to the Austrian flag and arms, is the more inconceivable, because the Russians are at Corfu, draw their provisions from the ports of Trieste and Fiume, a free communication with which has not been prohibited. The court of Vienna has ordered, that general Brady should be arrested and tried! It has expressed its dissatisfaction to Russia. It will cause Castel-Nuovo, and the mouths of the Cattaro, to be delivered up to France, without having occasion to reply by arms to this act of hostility.
"The Russians have evacuated Hanover, and returned home. The army which the emperor Alexander commanded has also returned to Russia. After all the losses which is sustained it is very natural that it should repair them by recruiting. A part of the troops which were at Corfu, have returned to Bosphorus with general Lacy. A considerable part of those that were in Poland, are marching towards Choczim and the Crimea. The illusion with respect to the Russian armies, is no more. The French army, which in two months dissipated the third coalition, was then only on the peace establishment; at the end of three months, which have since elapsed, it finds itself on the war establishment. It had nothing to fear from all the force of Europe, but no person will be able to form a fourth coalition. England knows full well that it would be money thrown away. She reflects with terror, that the first coalition, which lasted five years, made France mistress of Holland, Belgium, the Rhine, and all the Cisalpine country; that the second coalition, which lasted 2 years, gave to France Piedmont and Switzerland; that the third, which only lasted 3 months, gave her Venice, Naples and Genoa; that the least she could expect from a fourth coalition would be Trieste and Fiume, and the eternal exclusion of the English from the ports of Europe. Russia, recovered from the vain illusion by which she was deceived, well knows what 30,000,000 of people scattered over an immense territory, and under the necessity of opposing the Persians, Turks and Tartars, can do against 40,000,000 of Frenchmen united on the same platform, brave, active and intelligent, and more capable of conquering Russia than the Russians are of conquering France."
"English, Russian and Sardinian envoys, and a knot of malcontents from all the countries in the world, had fixed on Rome as the centre of their machinations. The emperor required that they should be driven from thence; and that a sovereign placed in his empire, should do nothing contrary to the safety of the armies of Naples and Italy.—The first care of an army should always be, not to allow itself to be surrounded by spies or those who encourage desertion. This demand gave rise to many consistories, when the persons who were the objects of it did justice to themselves, and all evacuated Rome."
"The kingdom of Naples is entirely conquered. The French troops are at Reggio, at Otranto and at Tarento. Only a small body of the Neapolitan troops could embark and reach Sicily. That island is defended by 45,000 English. The presence of such enemies is an additional inducement for the French to go there. Gaeta, an insignificant fortress, with a garrison of 1600 men is besieged."
"The victory at Austerlitz has produced as much sensation at Constantinople as at Paris. The exultation there was sincere and universal. The government of the Porte is nither ignorant nor sold. There may at Constantinople, be some traitors, but they are not numerous; whilst, on the contrary, the many

plied measures of Russia for sapping the foundation of this vast empire has not escaped the notice of the real Ottomans. They are not ignorant that the protection of France can alone be sufficient for the Porte, and that France is the only power interested in protecting her. The vicinity of the French in Dalmatia has inspired them with the liveliest joy. The emperor Napoleon has been acknowledged emperor. The Porte knows very well that its treaty with Russia was extorted; and that it is rather a treaty between a despotic prince and his vassal, than between sovereign and sovereign; that it is not the French who have excited the Greeks and Servians to insurrection; whose ships of war are anchored before Constantinople; and who are continually creating commotions in the Morea. This new attitude of the Porte has produced much uneasiness at St. Petersburg; and if the Porte shall be roused to acts of energy against Russia, there will not be found between those two powers the great difference that may be supposed. The Mussulman is brave, and were he but directed and assisted, he would triumph over the Muscovite militia. It is not probable that the Porte will wish to go to war; but she has a right to preserve her independence, and to wish for protection against the insults of M. Italinsky, every proceeding of whom, when he communicates with the divan, is calculated to excite hatred and indignation. "We intend to collect in this way every month, information of what is passing; and to throw some light into the labyrinth of false reports, by which the lawful speculations of fair and honest merchants may be injured."
LONDON, April 25. The attention of the continent is chiefly directed to the conduct of the king of Sweden at present. Were his means equal to his zeal and spirit, and excess of chivalrous gallantry, we should look with some confidence to the liberation of the greater part of Europe. However superior the strength of Prussia may be, it is not probable that she will venture to commit herself with a prince of such firmness of purpose, and whose intimate alliance with Russia is far from being doubtful.
The peace of Presburg, however disadvantageous and degrading to the emperor of Austria, was, properly speaking, nothing more than a truce, during which Buonaparte was anxious to effect the changes which it was the object of his policy and ambition to prepare; and to make sure of Prussia, that he might afterwards avail himself of the slightest pretext to accomplish the subjugation and downfall of Austria. While he appeared to evacuate the territories of that power, he was careful to preserve all the posts that could facilitate the invasion; and but a few days will now suffice, to enable him to make his appearance again in them, at the head of a formidable army. It might, no doubt, be conjectured, from the activity with which the archduke Charles endeavoured to re-organize the Austrian army, that he had some foresight of the present state of things, that there is no room to hope that Buonaparte is not now again destined to have to do with generals, who, by treason, incapacity or cowardice, will betray into his hands the fate of the Austrian monarchy. Even at the time when Buonaparte was holding out to his senate, that such were the precautions he had taken, that no apprehensions could be well entertained of any speedy renewal of hostilities with Austria, he was sowing the seeds of a fresh rupture, by making demands on that power, which would have constituted its territory a property of France, and the theatre of a war between that country and Russia. The wily Corsican cherished the hope, that by insulting the emperor of Germany on all sides, and by surrounding him with the allies or the slaves of the enemy, he would be brought to accede to every demand that would be made on him. In this expectation he has, however, been disappointed, and it may naturally be supposed that Buonaparte, in the rage of his resentful heart, has already sworn the overthrow of the Austrian throne.
The conduct of Frederick William is execrated universally in this quarter of the continent. Even his own troops feel ashamed of it. This is the reason of the order lately issued for preventing all conversation on military and political topics. This order, however, is generally disregarded, and his ministers find themselves obliged to have recourse to more rigorous measures. Thirty field officers have very recently been reduced to half-pay, for having freely spoken their sentiments on the present state of affairs. Of these, several openly declared that they would not fight against the Russians and Swedes. The inhabitants of Berlin espouse the cause of the officers. Prince Louis the king's brother, lately went to a levee in his regiments, with his sword reversed. This circumstance attracting the king's notice, he hastily asked his brother, what he meant by wearing his sword so unlike a soldier? "Please your majesty," said prince Louis, "you dispose of your territories as if they had never been yours, why may I not equally dispose of my sword as I please?" The king flew into a violent passion, and said, "Do you know, sir, that I can punish you?" "Yes," rejoined prince Louis, "you may take away my life, but you cannot alter the sentiments of my heart." This altercation has made a great noise at Berlin, and the spirited conduct of prince Louis has endeared him to the people and to the army.
The fortress of Gaeta still holds out, and though the bombardment of it has commenced, it may yet hold out a month, as supplies can be conveyed to it by sea. The gallant defender of it, the prince of Hesse, has circulated papers amongst the French, in which he bids them remember, "that Gaeta is not Ulm, nor the prince of Hesse, Mack."
STATE PAPERS Relative to the rupture between England and Prussia.
No. 1. Copy of a despatch from Francis James Jackson, Esq. to the right hon. lord Mulgrave, dated Berlin, 27th January, 1806.
MY LORD, I have the honour of inclosing to your lordship a letter, which although dated yesterday, I have just received (5 P. M.) from baron Hardenberg. I hasten to forward it by estafette to the agent of Cuxhaven in the hopes of its arriving there in time for the Thursday's packet. I also send to lord Cathcart, by estafette, a copy of the Prussian minister's letter to me. I shall simply acknowledge the receipt of it, and inform his excellency, that I have forwarded his communication to your lordship. I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) FRANCIS JAMES JACKSON. Right hon. lord Mulgrave, &c.
[Translation of inclosure No. 1.] SIR, I hasten to fulfil the promise given to lord Harrowby on the 8th of this month, to communicate to you, sir, as soon as a final decision should be taken on the subject, the additional circumstances relating to the security of the north of Germany, and to the guarantee by the king of the safety of the British troops which are in that part of the continent.
A messenger from Munich, has just brought his majesty intelligence of the communication of the arrangement which the present conjuncture of affairs has induced him to enter into with France, in order to save those countries, and especially the states of Hanover, from the misfortunes of another ruinous war, and to insure their tranquillity. As these arrangements stipulate particularly the committing of
that country to the exclusive guard of the Prussian troops; and to the administration of the king until the conclusion of a peace between England and France; his majesty could not delay taking the necessary measures for entry therein of a corps of his army, which will be under the orders of his excellency the general of cavalry count Schulenburg Kehnert, to whom also, the king has confided the administration of the country. His majesty, animated by the most lively desire to see the importance and the urgency of the motives which have induced him to take these steps, justly appreciated by his Britannic majesty, and his enlightened ministers, has directed baron Jacobi to give a detailed explanation thereof at London.
It would be superfluous to point out to your attention, how urgent and indispensable, in the present state of affairs, the re-embarkation of the English troops in the north of Germany is become, since the retreat of the foreign troops is the condition upon which France has promised not to order her troops to re-enter Hanover; and since also it was upon this supposition alone that the king guaranteed their security. I presume that lord Cathcart has already received, and is upon the point of executing, the orders of his court for the return of those troops for which transports have been waiting for some time past. I have, however, to request, sir, that you would, for the purpose of still farther dispatch, write to the commander in chief on the subject; and acquainting him with the present circumstances, that you would induce him to hasten, as far as depends on him, a measure which, in these circumstances, and the approaching arrival of our troops, will not admit of any delay. I request you to accept of the reiterated assurance of my high and perfect consideration.
(Signed) HARDENBERG. Berlin, Jan. 26, 1806. To Mr. Jackson, &c. No. II.
His Prussian majesty's proclamation on taking temporary possession of the electorate of Hanover, dated 27th January, 1806. It stated that his Prussian majesty took temporary possession of the electorate of Hanover until the conclusion of a general peace.
No. III. Copy of a note from Mr. Secretary Fox, to baron Jacobi Kleest, dated 17th March, 1806.
The undersigned is commanded by his majesty to state to baron Jacobi Kleest, for the information of his court, the great anxiety felt by his majesty at the manner in which possession has been taken of the electorate of Hanover. If his Prussian majesty judged it expedient, in order to prevent French troops from approaching so near that part of his frontier, to take to himself the military occupation of the electorate; it does not appear to his majesty that it was by any means necessary that the civil government of that unhappy country should be subverted, or that any army more numerous, and consequently more injurious to its inhabitants, than necessity required, should be maintained there. His majesty relies with the greatest confidence on his Prussian majesty's declaration, that the present occupation is merely temporary; but his majesty cannot but express a wish, that the deliberation on this point were more solemnly made in the face of Europe. The honour mutually due to each other from two princes so nearly connected in blood and alliance, seem to call for an clear explanation on this important subject.
His majesty on his part desires to be equally explicit and to put an end to all hopes (if such indeed have been entertained by the court of Berlin) that any inconvenience of political arrangement, much less any offer of equivalent or indemnity will never induce his majesty so far to forget what is due to his own legitimate rights, as well as to the exemplary fidelity and attachment of his Hanoverian subjects, as to consent to the alienation of the electorate.
His majesty learns with concern, that it is in agitation to give up Anspach, and other parts of his Prussian majesty's dominions, to Bavaria, in consequence of a convention with France, but he does not pretend any right to interfere, or to give any opinion with respect to the propriety of the measures, whatever they may be, which his Prussian majesty may deem eligible, for the interest of his crown and people; at the same time it is to be observed, that his majesty, whether in capacity of king of Great Britain, or in that of elector of Hanover, was in no wise a party to the convention alluded to, or responsible for its consequences. The cessions therefore which his Prussian majesty may make to his majesty's enemies, can never be alleged as a justification for taking to himself his majesty's lawful inheritance.
His majesty therefore hopes that his Prussian majesty will follow the honorable dictates of his own heart, and will demonstrate to the world, that whatever sacrifices the present circumstances may induce him to make, with respect to his own territories, he will not set the dreadful example of indemnifying himself at the expence of a third party, whose sentiments and conduct towards his Prussian majesty and his subjects have been uniformly friendly and pacific.
No. IV—Note Verbale. Until the explosion of the last continental war, his Prussian majesty had no other object in view, than to secure the tranquillity of his monarchy, and that of the neighbouring states.
He was then able to effect this upon terms which met the entire approbation of every court. He has been desirous of doing the same since the breaking out of the present war. But the choice of the means are no longer in his power. France has considered Hanover as her conquest and her troops were on the point of entering it, for the purpose of disposing of it definitively, according to the pleasure of the French emperor, without the possibility of his Britannic majesty's preventing it.
The occupation of that country by his Prussian majesty, and the shutting of the ports in the German seas, and that of Lubeck, against the British flag (as was the case during the possession of Hanover by the French,) were the indispensable conditions of an arrangement by which the country is secured against the entry of foreign troops, and the quiet of the north of Germany is preserved.
This has not been obtained without painful sacrifices on his majesty's part. Those of the house of Hanover are in no degree to be attributed to the king's measures, but are the inevitable consequences of a war, which his conciliating policy has in vain endeavoured to prevent. This war might have produced still more serious consequences. The treaty between Prussia and France at least protects the northern states from farther evils; and could every power but duly appreciate how much they are indebted to the system he has adopted, the king would with justice obtain the gratitude of all.
No. 8. The proclamation of count Schultenburg, dated Hanover, March 28, ordering the ports of the North Sea, as well as all the rivers running into it, to be shut against the trade of Great Britain in conformity to a treaty between Prussia and France.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER. TO SHOW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIME, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1806.
On Saturday evening Mr. COOPER performed for the last time at our Theatre, in the character of MACBETH; he left this place last evening, leaving a proof of his astonishing talents, as an actor, which we have never seen equalled. Though we had great cause to admire Mr. Cooper's performance in the other characters which he appeared in here, his Macbeth is certainly his chef d'œuvre. Throughout every part of this most difficult character, he was great, his voice, countenance and action, being in perfect unison with the Author's meaning. The dagger scene, and that subsequently with the "wierd sisters," claimed and received a decided preference.
We have not understood when the next performance will be.
DIED, on Saturday last, Mr. WILLIAM COX, of this place, Merchant.
Selected from papers, received by the CALEDONIAN, captain DICKSON, in 30 days from Belfast.
LONDON, April 26. We are happy to announce the safe arrival of the Oporto convoy at Portsmouth. The French frigate la Topaze is still in the Tagus.
Three weeks before the sailing of the convoy, 4 frigates and a brig escaped out of Cadiz. The brig was captured on the day after they got out by the Hydra, and some vessels were sent in pursuit of the frigates, which were supposed to have sailed for Teneriffe.
There were in Vigo on the 15th ult. two Spanish, and one French ship of the line, and a frigate, ready for sea, and under orders to sail.
By accounts received from Lisbon, it appears that great apprehensions are entertained in that city of a meditated attack on Portugal by Spain, and as it may be naturally supposed, at the instigation of France. Letters from Madrid also mention, but in terms of regret, that such a design is in agitation. Advices from Seville state a similar report—but at the same time, it is observed, that no preparations appear to be making, and that no body of forces is collecting for such a serious enterprise. A further depreciation of the government paper has taken place in Spain.
The fortress of Gaeta still holds out, and though the bombardment of it has commenced, it may yet hold out a month, as supplies can be conveyed to it by sea. The gallant defender of it, the Prince of Hesse, has circulated papers amongst the French, in which he bids them remember, "that Gaeta is not Ulm, nor the Prince of Hesse, Mack."
The expence of fitting up Westminster Hall, for the trial of Lord Melville, amounts to about 8000l.
Counsellor Sampson,* whose arrival in this country, we mentioned a few days since, left town this morning, by order of government, for Falmouth, where he will embark for America. He was accompanied by Mr. Sparrow, the king's messenger, in whose care he has been during his stay in this city. Mr. Sampson was daily visited by his wife, a very amiable woman, and two children. They do not go with him to America, but will return in a few days to the north of Ireland, to their friends, who are very respectable.—Count Zenobio, who is arrived from Venice, visited Mr. Sampson yesterday.—(Globe.)
By letters from Hull, we understand the premium of insurance to and from the Baltic, is eight guineas per cent. with a return of two per cent. for convoy, to the Sound, and two per cent. more to the port of destination. We also hear, by a vessel from Pillau, that 30,000 Russians were within thirty miles of Memel.
It was reported in the city yesterday, that the king of Prussia has been assassinated. This news is not believed; but certain it is, that throughout his whole dominions, and even among the officers of the army, there are great murmurs against the proceedings of the government.
* Distinguished in the late troubles in Ireland.
PLYMOUTH, April 19. Came in the Betsey, cartel from Morlaix; she sailed from this port on Wednesday the 8th instant, with admiral Villeneuve and suite for Morlaix, and arrived off that port at one o'clock A. M. Friday morning. On a signal being made, the commandant sent off orders for the cartel to anchor at the entrance of the harbor, and also a boat which brought on shore admiral Villeneuve and his suite. His dejection appeared very great on leaving the cartel as to what reception he might meet with in France; the French not in general treating civilly unfortunate generals and admirals.
[It will be recollected by our readers, that admiral Sir John Duckworth, in his official letter respecting the battle off St. Domingo, reflected on the conduct of the French captain of the Diomede; finding that there had been a mistake upon this subject, Sir John with the sympathy, which the brave always feel, has endeavoured to render justice to the French commander, in the following letter.]
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, April 13th, 1806. Copy of a letter from vice-admiral Sir J. T. Duckworth, K. B. to William Maraden, Esq. dated Suverh, Port Royal, Jamaica, Feb. 16, 1806.
Captain Henri, of the French ship Diomede, which ran on shore, and I afterwards ordered to be burnt, being with his officers, among the prisoners rescued the afternoon of the 9th, before that event took place, he approached to offer captain Keats his sword, which he, from the report which had been made to me by Sir Edward Berry, and except in the act of hailing, confirmed by captain Dunn, that the ship had struck before she ran on shore, it was disdainfully refused. This of course made explanation necessary on my side; and I acquainted captain Henri that I had marked his dishonorable conduct in my public letter. When feeling as he appeared to do, like a man of honor, and referring to his officers & ships company, they gave the strongest testimony that the pendant was always flying, tho' the ensign was shot away; and this, from strict investigation since my arrival here, appears to be the case; and as Sir Edward Berry is not present to refer to, and the commodore in the Brave allows he hailed the Agamemnon, and what has been recited passed between them, I have no doubt that the Diomede has been mistaken for the Brave, by her ensign being down, I therefore, Sir, feeling, that character is more valuable than life, am to beg the heavy charge on captain Henry may be done away in such manner as in their Lordships judgment may appear most proper.
I am, &c. J. T. DUCKWORTH.
According to the last accounts from Naples, the French heavy artillery had begun to batter Gaeta on different points. The French officers of artillery calculate that the place may hold out for a month; but it is thought, that when the commander learns that the French are masters of Calabria, he will surrender, as his resistance would then be without any object. The number of troops in Sicily, English, Russian, and Neapolitan, amount altogether to 30,000 men.

NOTICE is hereby given by direction of the right honourable the Pay-Master General of his majesty's forces, that the affidavits of Officers on half-pay and military allowances, who reside in the United States of America, commencing subsequently to the twenty-fourth day of December 1805, will not be passed at this office, unless the officer's place of residence, and also the county, district, or place for which the magistrate acts, before whom the said affidavit is made, (the competency of whom must be certified by the British Consul, if any shall be resident in the province or state, or by the governor, chief justice, or some other person in authority in the government thereof,) are therein specified, agreeable to the undermentioned form.

VILLAINY EXPOSED. On the 11th of August, 1805, JOHN ROBERTS, master of the schooner Aurora, of Baltimore, sailed from Norfolk with 500 bushels of Coal, taken at City Point from on board the ship Bellisle, John Hair, master, from Glasgow. The said Coal was shipped for Mr. Merry, the British minister at Washington; but instead of proceeding to that place, the said Roberts went round to Philadelphia, and there disposed of the Coal on his own account; after which he sold the vessel, and has not been heard of since. It was stated by him at Philadelphia, that the Coal was Virginia produce, and he entered a protest on oath before Nicholas Dichol, Esq., Notary Public in Philadelphia, asserting that he sailed from Norfolk bound to Baltimore, with the Coal on board as ballast; and having in a heavy gale of wind sprung his fore mast, was drove out to sea, and compelled by stress of weather to put into that port. Being bound to an adjoining state, and the cargo under the value specified in the 14th section of the Coastal Act, he was authorized to proceed without a clearance; but on his arrival at Philadelphia, being other than a district in the same or in an adjoining state, in order to his being permitted to an entry he made the said protest, and reported his vessel agreeably to the 22d section of the said act, declaring at the same time that the cargo was shipped by and consigned to himself. Should the said JOHN ROBERTS have returned to Baltimore, or his residence elsewhere be ascertained, it will be subserving the cause of justice to make it known to the Collector of that port, or those of Philadelphia, Norfolk or Petersburg. February 28. tf 535
One Hundred Dollars Reward. WILL be given, to white or black, that will deliver to me dead or alive, a negro named DAVEY, who runs away from me on the 9th instant. He is about 5 feet 9 inches high, very black, well made, and very active, with a full face, and speaks pretty well when spoken to. He has been a servant to a family as a carriage driver, and has been lately put to the shipcarpenter's and caulker's trade, and works well at the latter. As he is a lazy fellow, he no doubt, will attempt to live with some person as a servant. He made an attempt to run away from his former master, and made for the northward, but was apprehended in Virginia, where he is well acquainted, particularly in the towns, and I have no doubt but his intention is again to get off to the northward, either by land or water. I recollect a very notable white speck on his two upper middle fore teeth, which will be discovered on examination. He may have other marks for what I know, not having owned him more than four years. I cannot describe any particular ones about him, but make no doubt he has scars, as he has been whipped before I purchased him. He is very fond of spirits, and will get drunk when he has an opportunity; plays cards, and is much given to roguery. He wore off with him blue negro cotton clothing, and had second hand clothing; but no doubt he will change both his clothing and his name, as he is an artful fellow; and if taken, will fight; and when taken, if not well secured, will make his escape. I do hereby forwarn all masters of vessels and others from harbouring or carrying him off at their peril. The above reward, and all travelling expenses, will be paid, if the distance exceeds 75 miles. John Drew, Jr. Port-Tombstone, near Edenton. March 17. tf 587
