PARIS, KAY 3.

The grand question which has occupied the at-
tention of the Tribunate has diverted public atten-
ties from every other objed. A note, which, in the
Minittar of the 29th of April, accompanied an ex-
wad of a letter from London of the 24th of March,
has not however escaped notice. " God knows
(wt . the letter, among other things), when the ex-
ebbon
' wdl set sail for the other side of the water ;
e assured of this, that, sell when it may, we
shall Wit fail to give a very satisfaiEtory account of it.
The attempt, once made, will never be repeated,
and the question, or rather the threat of invasion,
tedl be decided for ever." These expressions have
given rise to the following paragraph an the official
Journal, in the form of a note :
“ We agree perfedly with this good Englishman,
litho, let the expedition once sail, and the question
will be decided for ever. We must add, however, that
we do not understand this assertion in the same sense
in which hi employs it. We cannot but deplore the
fate of a country which the faults of its Govern-
ment have placed in a situation so critical. We
do not do less justice to the energy and the honourable
feelings of those who are anxious to defend their
country. The people do their duty in endeavouring to
place themselves out of the reach of invasion. We do
ours it, seeking to conquer peace, and a portion of the
patrimony of the seas, of which the unbridled unbi-
tten niche English Government wishes to deprive us.
Absolute masters of the commerce of the world,
their ships cover both the Indian and American seas.
They wish further, by the unjust possession of Malta,
at once to expel us from the commerce of the Medi-
terranean. That is not in their power. They who

MAY J.
The important plan of the elevation of Bonaparte
to the Imperial dignity in France appears to be
more and mots on the eve of execution. Already
the wee has not only been soleria.ly pronounced by
the Tribunate. but also communicated on their
. . part to the Conservative Senate. We are beside al-
ready eel), ised by the answer of the Vice-President
'den Senate to the Deputies of the Tribunate, that
the Senators had anticipated in secret the commu-
nication of the vote of the Tribunate, and have been
deliberating for upwards of two months on the
means of carrying it into deft. It appears, then,
that a circumstance which was formerly only the
around of report. is now reduced to an absolute cer-
tainty, namely, the presentation of a Senatorial ad-
dress to the First Consul, offering to invest him with
the hereditary Government in France, delivered soon
after the communication of the original copies of
Mr. Drake's correspondence.
The veil which covers the deliberations of the
Senators has not yet been withdrawn. It has not
11 been withdrawn from the proceedings of that other
' nadosid mthority which will bring on the canceled
/ inclose». This disclosure, however, may be spec-
day =raid.

The Tribunate employed on this occasion to make
the first communication of this plan, as two years
ago they did of the settlement of the Consulship for
We, terminated the day before yesterday their ex-
traordinary sittings ►y the adoption of a decree
founded on a previous motion. This decree, which
bad hoes proposed that day by the Commission ap-
poiated to examine the motion of Curet., after a
long speech from the Reporter, Jard Panvilliers,
woe couched in the following terms :

• The Ttitionate, ceosidering that at eta tweakieg oat of the

That there r no tio.c more siiitahle to the glory of tona-
p..•te. and to the dignity of the Supreme Chief of the French
:cation, Clan the title of Emperor.

The Tribunate, exercising the right given them
by the 29th article of the Conititunon, have come

to the following vote :

That Napoleon Bonaparte, the First Consul, be proclaimed

Emperor of the French, and in that capacity, invested with the
Government of the French Republic ;
That the title of Emperor and the Imperia power he made

. .
hereditary in his family in the male line, acc.rrding to the order
or primogeniture ;

the right.; of the people shall be preserved Ist all their integrity.
This rote.hall be presented to the SCUM by six orators, who
. . .

shall explain the vie;re of the Tribunate.

The foregoing decree having been put to the vote
by the President of the Tribunate, it was carried by
acclamation with the single exception of the only
Member who delivered his sentiments against its
adoption. Citizen Jard Panvilliers was named First
Orator to present, the following day, the Vote of
the Tribunate. The other five Orators who are to

accompany him, were chosen by lot.
Citizen GA ctois then made a speech to prove the
necessity of the third article of the Vote. This was
at length, on the motion of Salim, signed on the
Register by the Tribunes present, to the number of
forty-eight, among whom was Joseph Moreau, the
brother to the General now confined in the Temple.
The Member who had formerly delivered his senti-
ments against the Vote, alone refused to affiz his
signature. The Officer of the Court having pre-
sented to him the ports eerie!, he merely cast his eye
over the contents, and returned it without signing
his name to it. In the same Sitting, Cation Nisas
made a long reply to the objeftions urged by Carnot.
Canon Nisas, afterward, a' the same sitting, in the exora ;it in
of hi speech, alinnunced his design of speaking with the
greaten moderation, entered on the considesation of the qui:s-
hoo, and observed, "Citizen Carnet is afraid that *4

LONDON,
SATURDAY, MAY ID.

It was reported, last night, in the diplomatic
circles, that Mr. COUIVOISI en, who arrived on Wed-
nesday, with dispatches from Vienna, has brought
with him the determination of the Imperial Court
upon the following points:-Ist, The proposed
change of the Government of France. idly, The
clai;ns of the BOURRONS, and the pretensions of Do.
$$A, ANTE. 3dly. The iavasion of the German Em-
pire by the troops of BONAPACT/ upon the 15th of
March. 4sl;ly, The terms upon which the House
of Austria will join with England and Russia to
restore the balance of power in Europe. sthly, An
invitation given by BONAP AUER to Austria to be-
come jointly with Russia a mediating power be-
tween him and England. thlily, A plan to be pre-
xntedto England after a general pacification for
establishing a Conservative Congress of peace, for
settling all future wars in Europe. Such ar: the
rumours in our best informed political circles. and
as such 0r.17 v:c give them. Mr. COURVOMER was
formerly a Professor of Civil Law, at Besar.con ;
afterwards a S.:cret.sry to the King of FRANCE and

the Boum lON Pa isc cs at Coblentz, and is now de-
servedly entrusted by our Government with its most
confidential dispatches.
We yesterday mentioned the arrival of Mr.
Lis IN usros, and the p.tc!tic rumour to which
it gave rise. He did not reach town until yes-
terday morning, and it has been since reported,
that his visit is more of a financical, than of a diplo-
matic nature. The purchase money of Louisiana,
stipulated to be paid to France, though raised by
Messrs. Hera and Co. at Amsterdam, for the United
States of America, is supplied, no doubt, in a great
part, from this country ; and Mr. Ltvixorrosi, it is
presumed, is come to hasten the remittances which
the extravagant expences of DON AIP AST 16'11 COW.
1 nation necessarily require. We have heard, however,
that he Is provided with a letter from TA tca v RAID
to our Ministers. Others say, he is the bearer of a
letter from BON•P•ILTZ to His MAJESTY. or the
Prince of WA LLL

On Thursday we stated, esciusivetv, that it was the
intention of LeJUIS XVIII. to protest against the ele-
vation of fiQsar • RT E, under the title of Emperor,
to the throne of France : we also stated, at the
same time, the leading features of the protest, as
repotted to us. A Morning Paper of yesterday,
alluding to this intelligence its Tux BRITISH NM,
makes the following candid and /decal observation:
" One of the Papers says, that Lot:is the XVI llth
intends to protest against Box*, • R T es elevation to
the Impetialtl.roile of France. h is possible enough
that Louis X VIII. will protest ; but the writer in the
newspaper sat) announces the intention, and even
gives the substance of the intended Protest, must
have a quicker mode cf communication with War-
saw titan the ordinary ports. Such pretended in-
formation every reader of common sense must per-
ceive to be mere fahricatioo." We can assure our
readers, that the Protest Las not only been received
by the Boy It atm Pa :Nt ts residing in England, but
that their adhe..ion to it was also sent off last night
to lits Majesty Lot is XVlllth. A refei enee to dates
will expose the gross igoorance or malice of the pa-
per in question in itsattackupon Tar BRITISH Ness.
The Decree of the Senate, for conferring the title of
Emperor upon SoNar.siir t, is dated the 17th of
March. An account • f it might have reached
Warsaw on the loth of April, and, we believe, did
adually teach it on that day. We will suppose,
however, that it did not reach Warsaw until the
15th. Suppos:ng then six days a full C:T.e for
Lot is the XVIII. to prepare his protest, and tLat it
was sent of from Warsaw on the Y 1 st of April, it
might have received by the last framburp,h
Mail, which. it is welt knuwn, brought letters of

that date from that. till. It required, therefore,
no extraordinary ports or posts to put us in posses-
sion of our intelligence; but any thing like expedi-
tion must, no doubt, appear incredible to the paper
in question, which yesterday boasted that the casual
bounty of a friend had given it an old Paris Paper,
of the sth instant, and thereby enabled it to old.
strip its competitors." It is with reluSance we find
ourselves obliged to repel this attack. We real.
ly pity the paper in question, pity the Editor, And
all the patties in the concern. To have all its
hopes dashed at the moment, when it daily expraea
to be elevated to the rank, title, and emoluments
of the " Leading Print of Government," ua,
severe aflaion. It would require more than stoic
patience, to bear up against such a disappointment.
We must therefore be prepared for such little angry
ebullitions now and then ; but this ill humour will
gradually wear off, and our competitor will, no
doubt, recover its fine, naturally dull, phlegmatic
temper.

Yesterday the third reading of the Army of R.. •
serve Bill was postponed until Wednesday sea night,
upon the motion of Mr. PITT, who stated his in.
teition to submit, in the mean time, a proposition
to the House, cannel:led with that subjen. The
other Bills of the same class were also deferred on
the

motion of Mr. PITT, who will probably bring
forward his whole military system before the
close of the Session. Gtoao t Ross is not appointed
Master of the Mat, as was reported ; but be has
obtained as good a money making place. A new
writ was moved last night, in consequence of his
being appointed joint Paymaster of His Majesty's
forces. New writs were also moved fur Heistone,
and the County of Galway, in the room of Lord
FITZI4AIIIIS and Lord Drat.o ; the former of whops
has accepted the place of a Commissioner of the
Treasury, and the fitter that of a Commissioner fee
the affairs of India. Both Houses adjourned tit
Wedaesday.

In our eztraas from the Path Papers, there is
an article in the Afeniieur, which insinuates that the
attempt cf invasion may possibly be deferred to
a remote period. Every line of the Monitrur is dic-
tated fur political purposes, and in total disregard
of truth. This passage is, therefore, no doubt, in.
served with a view to throw vs off our guard; as
we are assured Government have received informa-
tion that the Dutch troops are embarking.

The Ahrevisk Castle, East Indiaman, which we
stated on Thursday to be on shore, at Long Reach;
was got off at six o'clock that morning, bat nog
until they had taken out all her guns, started all her
water, and removed all her heavy goods. It is
thought she cannot sail until after she has undergone
a repair in the dock, that will probably cost 1,0001.
