Chancellor repaired this day at three d'cloCk to the
Senate, where, after the usual cerernonies., he made
a speech in substante as follows

GENTLEN,
. " What I have now to communicate on itT part
of his Imperial Majesty, relates to the adoption of
Prince EUGENE, and the hereditary quality of the
Italian Crown.
" According to our Constitutional Laws, the
right of succession in the Government of the DTl-
pire is accurately fixed.
" But this is not the case with the Italian States ;
according to which the succession to the throne be-
longs to the legitimate, natural, or adopted race, of his
Majesty the Emperor or King.
" His Majesty wishes to remove the uncertainty
which may arise herefrom ; for which reason he
would give his Italian States a fourth Statute.
" It comprises, on the part of his Majesty the
Emperor and KING, the adoption of Prince Eu-
GENE as his son. In consequence of which Prince
EUGENE, by defe& of heirs of the Emperor, shall
receive the Italian Crown for himself and his heirs.
In case the said Prince should die without heirs, the
Crown then to fall to the nearest relative of the
Prince of • the Imperial Family who may at the time
reign over France.
" The Letter which his Majesty has addresssed to
you will furnish you with better ideas than I can,
of the measure of homage due to that profundity of
thought, and that series of combinations which dis-
play themselves in every line of that letter, and which
so strongly charaaerize the prudent foresight of our
august Sovereign, with his continual solicitude for
the happiness of his people.
" You know; Gentlemen, that every-day conso-
lidates the work of the Emperor ; every day cements
the parts of it, and relations are established, the uti-
lity of which guarantees their duration.
" This day he gives his Subjeas of Italy a signal
mark of his affe&ion, in designing for them a Prince,
from whom the genius of NAPOLEON will never

PARIS, JAN. 26.—Prince EUGENE, the regent of
the Kingdom of Italy, was to depart fr. a Munich
on the 21st inst. with his Princess,. for Milan.
M. TALLEY RAND left Munich on the isth inst.
Prince MuanT has arrived at Paris:
Count HAUGWITZ arrived on the 21st inst. at
Frankfort, on his way to this City.
The Bavarian General ljsaot has been appointed
Governor-General of thetyrol ; and General WREDRi
Governor of Augsburgh.
JANUARY 27.-=---Their Majesties; the Etnperor and
Empress, strived last night in the Capital of their
States. This happy return was not announced until
one-o'clock to-day, when the Council of State as=
sembled, and has Majesty presided.
VIENNA, JAN. 15.—it is said that the battalions
of reserve, stationed upon the Turkish frontiers, have
received orders to hold themselves in readiness for
service at the shortest notice. This order is said to

depart.
This Prince is a Frenchmen ; he is so in his
heart, as well as by his birth. He will carry to that
throne, to which he is called by his illustrious father,
those sentiments which shall maintain between Italy
and the rest of the Empire those connexions neces-
sary for the general prosperity.
" In the information which His Majesty has given
you of the measures which he has determined upon,
you will find a new testimony of his affe6tion ; a
proof that he regards the French Senate as one of
the bulwarks of the vast edifice which he has‘found-
ed. The V-3 rious parts of which it is composed,
though the result of different laws, all tend to one
point worthy of his genius ; the conservation of the
whole, the happiness
Hof all, and the immortal glory
of its founder.
" I shall now transmit the letter of his Majesty
and King to M. Le President."

have been occasioned by the approach of two Turkish
armies, one of twenty and the other of forty thou-
sand men, which the Grand Seignor is sending

against the Servian insurgents. It is also reported,
that the Porte had requested a passage for these
troops, which had not been granted. But whatever
report may state, it is certain that our Court will
negle& no precaution necessary to put o'ir frontier
in a state of defence.

SEMLII4, JAN. 2.—The Turkish Army assembled

in Bosnia, consisting of twenty thousand men, has
not yet passed the llfina. Before their Command-
ant undertakes any hostilities against the Servians, it
is said he will be joined by fresh troops from Ro-
inelia.

The want of provisions prevails in such a degree
at Belgrade, that the inhabitants are compelled to go
out in parties, and seize whatever may fall in their
way. In this situation, it is thought Belgrade will
fall an easy prey to the besiegers.
Roma, DEC. 28.—The signal viaories of the
French Emperor in Germany and Moravia seem to
have lispelled the clouds that threatened this quar-
ter. It is very generally reported, that the troops
colleaed in Naples will make no resistance ; and
the last letters from that city mention the arrival of
an Aid-de-Camp of the Russian Emperor, with
orders for his troops to re-embark. In the mean
while, the advanced guard of the French, which
had passed through the Ecclesiastical territory, have
halted upon the Neapolitan frontiers, to wait the
determination of the Enemy, and the arrival of re-
inforcements now upon their march.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 4.—The Emperor At...EX.
ANDER, notwithstanding the ill success of his Ger-
man campaign, still finds many occasions on which
the gratitude of his people are manifested. Not-
withstanding the War, and the numerous transports
of provisions sent to the Army, this capital, ih con-
sequence of the able dispositions of the Government;
still enjoys plenty of all the necessaries of life at a _
very cheap rate.
STRASBURGH, JAN. 21.—A Letter which has just
reached us Contains the information, that, conform-
ably to the orders which the King of Prussia
.has
transmitted to the Russian General ToasToy, the
Russian Troops that have quitted Hanover are to
remain in the Dutchy of Mecklenberg till they are
informed of their ultimate destination.
JAN. 23.—Our city yesterday was in full Motion.
The Guilds in uniform, and each carrying the embleni
of his profession; repaired to the side of the Rhine.
The Jagers and Grenadiers of this city, with those
of Calmar, and all the arrondissements of. the Up.;
per and Lower Rhine, formed an army of the
most perfe& 'appearance, dressed and equipped at
their own expence. Triumphal arches were raised
from distance to distance, from the outermost lines-
"of Kehl to the extremity of the Island. The bridges
of the Rhine were occupied by trophies, and the
intermediate spaces by tents; which gave the disa
trig the similitude of a camp. At four o'clock
Marshal KELLERMAN, with the other Generals, the
General staff:', and the Civil and Military Constitut-
ed Authorities, repaired to the entrance of
At six o'clock the first Couriers gave notice of the
approach of Their Majesties; and soon after the ear=
riages came in sight. The eaelarnatioris of " Live

but accompanied Their Majesties to their Palace,

LETTER OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR AND KING

TO THE SENATE.

SENATORS,
" The Organic Senatus Cor •ulttim of the 18th
Floreal, of the year 12 (Bth 804), has pro-
vided for every thing respe&ing the Hereditary Suc-
cession of the Imperial Crown in France.
" The first Constitutional Statute of our King-
doM of Italy, dated March 19, 1805, has fixed the
inheritance of that Crown on our descendants, in a
dire& and legitimate line, whether natural or by
adoption.
" The dangers to which we have been exposed
in the midst of the war; and which were exagger-
ated to our people of Italy—those to which we may
still be exposed in combating the enemies who yet
remain to France, still excite very sensible alarms.—
The people of Italy do not enjoy the security offered
.them by the liberality and the moderation of our
laws, because the future is to them uncertain.
" We- have considered it as one of our present
duties to put a period to these alarms.
" We have in consequence determined to adopt
as our son Prince EUGENE, Arch=Chancellor of our
Empire, and Viceroy of our Kingdom of Italy. We
have called him, next to ourselves and our natural
and legitimate children, to the Throne of Italy; and
we have decreed, that in default of our direa de-
scendants; legitimate or natural, or those of Prince
EUGENE, our son, the Crown of Italy shall devolve
to the son, or the nearest relative to our Prince of
the Blood, who in such Case Lmay then reign in
France:

" We have thought it befitting our dignity, tha
Prince EUGENE shall enjoy all the honours attached
to our adoption, though they.will give him no rights
but to the Crown of Italy alone ; it being under-
stood that our adoption will in no case nor circum-
stance authorize either him or the descendants of
Prince EUGENE, to raise any claim to the Crown of
Prance, the succession of which is irrevocably regu-
lated by the Constitution of the Empire.
" The history of all ages informs us, that the
uniformity of laws is essentially prejudicial to the
strength and good organization of Empires, when
they extend beyond the limits allowed by. the Moral
habits) and geographical considerations.
~ We reserve to ourselves the opportunity of pub-
lishing our ulterior dispositions, respeCting,the con-
nexions which are to subsist after us, among all the
Federative Estates of the French Empire. The va-
rious independent
,parties among them having a
common interest must have a common tie.
" Our People of Italy will receive with trans-1
ports of joy these new testimonies of our solicitude.
They will perceive in them the guarantee of the hap-
piness they enjoy, in the permanence of the Govern
ment of this young Prince, whO in an interval of
