Palls, Dec. 4.
On the Ad instant, his Highness the Arch-Us. t-
calor of.the Empire repaired to the Senate. - His
Highness appeared in grand coeliac, and opened the
Sitting with the following Address :
Gentlemen—rAt the element when the grati-
tude of the nation had placed the reins of Gove• n-
ment in the hands of His Majesty, he established
hetweea himself and you the habitual concretion of
confidence, and a communication of thoughts, which
have made you partakers in the grand designs con-
ceives' and executed ler the good of this great em-
pire. Thus, you have been seasonably informed,
that His Majesty's first wishe► were for pease, and
that this generous sentiment never abated. Before
lle.:ippeared upon the field of battle, he offered peace
to b.s etten.i.3. After vißory, his triumphant hand
st,yer ceased to offer the olive branch.
' He hoped, that the particular treaties entered
into and successively conciliating every interest,
would gradually appease every resentment, and

(Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.)
(Nu. 36.)
MY LORD,
" I have the honour to acquaint you, that I have
taken His Majesty's orders with respe4 to the object
of the letter which your Excellency did me the ho-
nonr to write tome, under date of the 2‘2,1 of Sept.
and that he immediately authorised M. De Cham-
pagny, his Minister Plenipotentiary, to cause to be
delivered to you all the passports which may be
necessary to your Excellency for securing the regu-
larity and dispatch of your communication with the
Ministry of His Britannic Majesty.

" T do not lose a moment in making known to
your Excellency, that the 'rusk of the conference
which I have this day had with his Excellency M.
De Champagny, unfortunately leaves me no hope of
heist able t 6 bring the negociations on the part of
Great Britain and Russia to a favourable termine•

" in this state of things, and according to my in-
strnElions, nothing remains for toe but P> address
myself to your Excellency fur the necessary pass-

ve-eign.
" In this making this demand of your Eteellency.
I cannot conceal the pleasure which I feel in declar-
ing ray gratitude for all the personal attentions
which your Excellency has been pleased to shew me.
during my residence at Paris t and, at the same
time, in expressing all the sentiments of esteem
which I have always telt, and shall ever feel, at all
times, for your Excellency.

Mayener, Sept. se, 150 e.
" The Undersigned, Mitti,ter for Foreign Affairs,
has laid before His Majesty the Emperor. King of
Italy, the Note which his Ex.:ellency the Earl of
laatiderdelt, His Britannic Majesty's Minister Ple-
nipotentiary, did him the honour of addressing
to him on the 2.ith insta.u. His Majesty, after
having, in bis anxiety for peace, shewn irate-
position to adopt any proposals which could
renter it durable and respeßively advantageous
to the two contrafling Powers, and their Allies,
would see with concern the rupture of a nego-
tiation, from which, as tat as his inclination could
influence, he had hopes of a damn., result. If the
English Cabinet will renounce all prospea of peace,
if its Minister Plenipotentiary will quit France, Hi..
Majesty flatters himself, notwithstanding, that when
the Engliees Cabinet and Lord Lauderdale shall have
considered the extent of the sacrifices he was dis-
posed to make, for the purpose of promoting the re.
establishment .of a sincere reconciliation. they will
be thoroughly convinced, that His MI4OIIIY, for the
general happiness, wished to weigh no'consideration
against that of peace, and that, in the hops of assur-
ing the advantages of it to his people. he could alone
bring his paternal affettion to submit to sacrifices,
net only of personal pride, but even of power,
much more considerable than the English nation
supposed. in the midst of a war, in which he has
obtained invariable excess, without the lout ahoy
, of disaster.

Besides. if it should be the Emperor's fate, and
that of the French people, to still exist amidst the
wars and tempests which the policy and the influ-
ence of England may excite. His Majesty. seeing
himself disappointed in his dearest hopes, alter hav-
ing done every thing in his power to pot an end to
the calamities et war, relies upon the justice of his
cause, end on the courage, affeftion, and power of
his people.
RecoHeeling, however, the disposition which he
has continually shewn during the course of this ne-
gotiation, His Majesty cannot see but with regret,
that England, who could illustrate au establish her
vast power by the blessing of peace. the necessity of
which is felt lay the present geseration, and the En-
glish nation, es well as others, voluntarily suffers so
favourable an opportunity foe it to escape. Futurity
will metal whether she new coalition will be mire
successful against France than the three former :
tis-
turity w.ll disclose whether they who complain sat
the greatness and the ambition of France, should not
impute to their hatted, and injustice, the great-
ness, and ambition of which they atom her. h ranee
owes her aggi andisement solely to the repeated ef-
forts which have been made to crush her.

N.vertheless, whatever inferences may be de-
clared from the past, with respell to the future, His
Majesty will be read. if the ncgociationa with Eng-
land should be interrupted, to resew them, what-
ever chances or events may arise ; he will be ready
to reestablish upon the haws laid down, in concert
with the Illustrious Ministo whom England bas lost,
who having nothing farther to add to his glory than
the reconciliation of the two countries, conceived the
hope of succeeding, but was snatched from the
world in the midst of his labours. . _

4, the Understgued bat the honour to inform
Lora Lauderdale, that M. de Chanspagny is autho-
rised to deliver to him the passports for which he
has applied. He embraces this opportunity to re-
peat 111 him the assurances of his high consideration.
