NAVAL PROJECT. OF THE FRENCH GOVERN-
- !WENT.
On the tith May, the Prince Arch-Chancellor,
• presiding in the'Sitting of the Senate, appointed
the State-Cosaieltor; ltegoault tie St. Jean
Minister of State, to lay. before thew the
grounds of a &loofas C'tinsehitos, for uniting 'rum ,
cany with the Freed' Empire; and M. Stllloll—
spoke iu the name of the Commission of the •
&wale, which uisanituousle. vafed fur this inonr-
ponition. The following• is a summary of the
amigned grounds:— .
"'The whole toast of the Mediterranean Sea must
form a part of the French territory.of the ieat Ean7
paw The regions, thestroasts adjoining to the Ad-
riatic, are united with the kingdom of Italy ; all
these which lie along the Mediterrenean, which are
adjacent to our territory, must be united with the
empire of France. Faun Leghorn to Toulon, to
Genoa, to the Departmeut of Corsica, is not farther
than from Leghoin to Milan. The commerce of
the Mediterranean, whettiver may be the opposition
of the Tyrant of the Sets, than be necessarily wider
the influence of France. The very same first prin-
ciples, iu conaequence of which Genoa was incimpos
rated with France rather than with the kingdom of
Italy, also require that Leghorn be made a part of
that empire. The kisgdoin of Napieo, which lies
both ou the Modeterractean and the Adriatic, con-
stitutes a distinct kingdom, subject however to the
mole federative system, and to the same state policy.
"The port of Leghorn has given constant reasons
of coutelaint to France. That port, appertaiuing
to a territory governed by a weak Prince, had fallen
under the influence of England, and was become
one or'the priticipel inlet's for her commerce. In
different instances, without wishing to violate the
winitrehty of the Sovereign of Tuscany, it became
wacessary for divisions of French troops to enter
Lifileillat to - tionflanite the English merchandise
there. 'Theis violations of territory, however ne-
misery. • are always aisegrecahle ; and since Leg-
horn mast he media the influence of France
and Koglood at the mime time. it must become
a part of France. Besides, Leghorn and the
Tuscan territory produces sailors fur the exteusion
of oar manor; through its Whole extent ship-
budding is carried ois, and in the same proportion

trary to the ideas of all those who are acquainted
with the see service, we found maim to equip a
osmaeroos usdren, which Admiral Geatlimume
esmtmeoded with so mach ability, sad for which
he ohtained so mach renown, by the skilful ma-
olouvres by which hp frustrated the pleas of the
enemy—which having supplied with men, pro-gl-
om+ and warlike stores, Corfu, the key of the
Ado tic. meowed ky an expedition already on its
way, thew rendered fruitless, and which, on its re-
turning voyage, capturing many considerable
prises. braved all storms, and exercised the crews
daring a difficult voyage of, three 'smiths—if all
these advantages have bete gaised, they mast be
partly ascribed to the iisemperatioe of Genoa,
which otambers many of her sous among the good
Ileellkt• of that 'quadrat.
"-The Sons of the Arno are invited to the glory,
His Majesty having decreed that Spessia shall Ise a
sailitery port ;. the -alock.A, the works of the arenal.
and the forts, both on the sea and laud aisle, are al-
ready marked out, and before the end of I,e pre-
sent year, six ships of two or three decks shall be

" ft would not be proper to establish such con-
sitler..bly works at the extremities of the empire, if
a foreign Power were plated at the very gates of
that arsenal. Speech' shall become a second Ton-
toll is the fderliterrancale ; on the whole coast there
abound iron, timber, provision., and useful hands ;
the provisions, the iron, and the awn sorrendenel
up, must become French. France and the Con-
tinent, which are desirous of restoring the bulance
of power on the Ocean, have the tell-seine interest
is the prosperity of the new Har • ime Department
sf Spessui. The incorporation of Tuscany is a
accessary coca queue.. of that grand plan.
" This union is also the iuterest of Tuscany,
which, under the sway of its little Princes, was
governed without system, without vignur, and was
perpetually infested by the Barbary Powers. Men

forthcoming from Holland, Spain, and Italy, are
in operation; we mast have ships, Intl these last
ueweid countries have no deficiency either of iron
or of timber and hemp, for building or rigging them.
" A 4 Jeerer has then issued from the Emperor for
the incorporation of Tuscany, on the principle of
the, necessity for completing the system of the
great empire, and for rendering the instid-arlini-
nistratiou of France harm-salons throughout all the
members of the great confederacy. Walkout the
incorporation of Tuscany, them could be no imme-

could not lse unsiatained with her, but through tie
medium of states subsisting ler other Govern-
ments, from which it might be feai•ed, that the

Extract of a letter from an Eoghsh gentleman,

dated Malmoe Bay, June, 6. 1808:-

" We y$ remain hew, for it is Impossible to proceed on

By advice) received from Mahone, this mornmg.
we learn that the convoy mentioned in the above
extract, (consisting of shout 70 sail), put to sea
last Thursday moniing, the 9th. the wind having
been very favounible for them, but becoming calm,
the Danish gun-bouts curve limn Dram, and rap-
tared twenty-two -sof tiseni, five of which they
buret.—Twenty sail of Swedish gut-hosts, which
were out at the time, within • few hundred
parch of the poem!, sod might have rendered the
greatest amiastai ter, did not think pro,ier to interfere,
but returned to port without firing a shot ; an Eng-
lish gun-brig, (said to be die Charger), was en-
gaged for seven hours, and obliged to yield to ku perio►
nuinb..rs. Out of the g 2 that were caotureth 14
were Swedes. It is reported here, this "lay, that •
