" CITIZEN CONSUL;

, " The Council General of the Department, the
Secretary General; and the Council of Prefecture,
the Sub-Prefeds of the Circle, the Mayors, and
Adjutants of Paris, the Administrative Council of
the Hospitals, the Commissioners f_or apportioning
Taxes, all the Administrators of the Department
of the Seine, present you with the blessings and the
wishes of those under their administration.
"The Preliminaries of the Peace with England have
been signed, and this news has excited the greater
joy by as much as it was more unexpeded, and as
the English Government had little accustomed Eu-
rope to hope for a return of pacific dispositions.
4 4 Thus, Government uniting strength to wis.

has beep able_ to inspire at once a dread of its
irtns, and an ambition of its alliance. ,
" Thus- two Nations, made to esteem one an-
other, will soon unite their efforts in aaivity and
genius, to console the world for all the evils with
which a too disastrous War has Aided them.

" GENERAL AND CONA7L,
" The Peace of the: World is your work ; who
before yOu ferventlY wished for it ? Who, perhaps,
•
dared to hope fir it ?'You alone, General Consul---
you alone, embraCing the real interests of .all
.Na-
tions, have-. thought that the obstatle4 idtich opposed
our happiness might be overcome. You have
forced the whole world to say with us, " the
greatest man among mankind, the man nnst
tied to respeta and love, is he who, accustomed
to the favours of vielory, is resolutely bent on
deserving the title of Pacificator.
" On this great occasion, Citizen Consul, the.
city of Paris chiefly owes to you its gratitude and
its-homage. Tcs population is immense, and neces-
.
sartly industrious War had confined its.aftiiity
and suspended its labours ; the Arts, which are the
children of Peace, are about to restore to-it all the
means of prosperity ;_ commerce and industry, freed-
frbm their fetters, will take a new spring ; morality
will. follow from labour ; the hospitals will no longer
be any thing but the asylum df repose open to age,
nor can you take a step without meeting some man
whom you have made happy.
" The organs of the People of Paris, and of the'
Depptment.of the Seine, it is by transmitting.you
its, very. expressions, that we shall best etpress its
sentiments. it is in their name, and almost
in their own language, therefore, that we now
say to you, Citizen Consul, repose at length,
after yout long labours' enjoy all the' good
you have done.: may your life be happy•and long,
and may you live.an example for GoTernments„ and
the glory and. the prosperity of the Republic.!'

Speech pronounced by General MoRTI n, com-
.
tnatiding the Ist Military Division.

GENERAL, CONSUL,
" The General Peace, the objeet of so- many
wishes, has at length reached us. To attain this
august and brilliant objca, the valour ancl.constancy
displayed by the Children of France, in the great
contest, which has, been terminated, was • not suf-
. ficient : firm and vigorOus resolutions were wanting,
which proceed uns7,a 'to ClielilAgai. •
If France cherishes in its First Magistrate,
tite
immortal benefaElor of the Country, the Warriors
sharing these gentle affeetions, still love to con-
template the illustrious Chief who has so often led
7 them to glory—Organ of those who compose the
First Division, I renew. the expression of their
zeal and devotion for your person, which will in-
cessantly animate them."

Speech pronounced by Citizen SONLO.S.T, in the
' name of the National Office of Accounts :

"CITIZEN CONSUL,
" You have put the finishing stroke to your own glory and
to the happiness of France by the signing of the Prelimina-
ries, the forerunners of a General Peace.
" The Commissioners of, National Accounts hasten to of-
fer you,the homage of those sentiments of admiration and
gratitude whiclYthey share with all Europe.
" The French People, nearer to the focus of your aEtive
benevolence and its happy elkels, owes you a still rnoreann-
ple tribute of attachment—gratitude and veneration."

Speech delivered by Citizen FIE I MART, President
of the Criminal Tribunal of the Department of the

Seine :

" CITIZEN coxsut,

- - _
" The annunciation of the Continental Peace had made the
French People experience the pleasure which a Sailor feels
at reaching his port, after having been long tost by the tem-
pest. This Peace was your work. Hardly had France had
time to,enjoy this first benefit, before a new Treaty arises, to
consolidate and to increase its prosperity, by securing to it a
Maritime Peace: . .

Commerce then is about to resurhe its ancient aaivitY,
and France, by its position, its strength; and the wisdom of
its G overnment, will henceforth be inassailable. The peace-
able inhabitants, the country, the honest•nranufalurer, the
'valuable artist, the speculative merchant, all bless the hand
which, promising them the return of their children, secures
their prosperity and happiness.

- . .
" In this consoling situation, where the greater part of your
time will no longer be absorbed by the necessity of superin-
tending fuch important interests, the Criminal Tribunal of La
Seine, by miniling its sentiments of respea.and gratitude with
those of the rest of the Nation, confidently otli:rs you its
wish tosee thosecharqes take place in the criminal Legisla-
tion, which the interest of the Public and of individuals
equally requires. More simple forms in the promulgation of
laws; punishments more proportioned to crimes ; a power
in the Tribunals to modify punishments in proportion to
circumstances ; a better composition of furies ;, and lastly,
an impossibility in the accused to escape from justice—Such
are the desiderata which experience has shewn to be ne-
cessary, and which the Tribunal thinks,it its duty to submit
to the First Magistrate of the Republic."

Speech delivered by the President of the Tribu-
nal .of the First Instance of the Seine :

'upon you. You have suddenly Suspended her rapid march-;
you have fried your destiny, and that of France. A-nother
desire reigned hi your heart, that of restoring calm to Europe.
Multiplied obstacles, some of which appeared insurmount-
able, were at, length to yield to 'your courage, your wisdom,
and your genius. With the laurels of Mars, you have mixed
the olive Branch of Peace.. Of Peace !—That sacred name,
which la about to' restore their ancient splendor to the
Sciences and to the Arts. Commerce is about 'to re-flourish,.
Plentinto revive, Public Morals to become more pure, while
an excellent system of Laws will socitre yOu hew edry, and
give you ucw Claims to public gratitude:"

The Minister of Finance presented .the Direaor-
General, and the. Administrator of Domains. Citi-
zen DucH ATEL, the DireCtOr-General expressed
himself as follows :
44 CITIZEN CONSyI,

" The Administration of. Domains,- to which you Live
been pleased to grant the favour of &ling admitted to express
the joy with whiclitite news of the Peace with England has
inspired them, could not, at the mornent when you are giving
them a new OrganizatiOn, present themselves before you
under more happy auspices, to assure you of their devotion,.
and of the efforts which they *hall constantly and courage-
ously make for the prosperity ofthe Revenues of.the State-.
" Citizen FIRST CONSUL,. the War which you have
supported and maintained with 'so Much glory, has. not
prevented your •extending your solicitude over all parts
of the Civil Administration. You are in the Cabinet
as you have heed at the- head of Armies, an indefatigable
Chief. Every one may therefore, say, while pouring forth
his benedictions, he has given repose to the World,. While he
himself indulges in none : he watches over, and labours for us.
" Deign,' Citizen FIRST CONSUL, to receive the homage
of the Administration, of which I am the organ, and rely on
their zeal."

Speech delivered by Citizen Br.RooN, one of the
Administrators, in the name of the rest of the Ad-
ministration of Woods :

GLNERAL CONSUL,

You have, 'at length obtained the only reward which
you had hopeff-frorn Vidory. Peace is restored to the World.
Nations are peirnitted to close their wounds, which the Arts
will heal. This blessing, which the glory of tit= Army pre-
diaed, was to be the fruit of wisdom united, to great cha-
raaer. It is this which has sustained our courage and open-
dd the ears of Kings to the crieS of Misfortune.. It is this
which will make Posterity say to you, he consoled the Peo-
ple wilt= he conquered."

The Administrators of the Public Treasury, of
the Liquidation of the Public. Debt, the Commissary
General, and the Administrator of Posts, the Di.
rekstor of the Sinking Fund, and the Directors and
Administrators of the Castoms, were successively
introduced.

THEATR.

Covent,Cdr&i.

THE new Play, intitled integrity, vas repeated
last night, and we regret that critical illtegrity will
not permit us to give it a more favourable refort
thanson its first appearance. It possesses no great
interest in any part, and is on the Whole; dull and
tedious, We cannot help thinking that something
of modern philosophy„ which pervades most German
Dramas, is observable in this ricele. The Peor are
ivirimour and the Rich are
,dfpraved. This. is a
leadingfeature of the Geniin School of Dramatic
monalit.y.
Mr. SIDDONS was again received with warm
applause, to which the dignity, good sense and
'feeling which he displayed,- gave him fair preten-
;ions. -Previous to the Play Mr. MultitAv came
forward with an apology for the absence of Mr. H.
JOHNSTON, •who had met with an accident on his
way to the Theatre which. rendered him unable to
perform. Mr. MURRAY requested the indulgence
of the Audience for a young man who had volUn-
rarity offered to read the part.
,The Audience, of
course, readily acquiesced, and the part was accord-
ingly read by a person who belongs to the Theatre,
and whose name we understand is WILKINSON. He
read the. part with spirit, and.as tar as we could
judge of his talents, under the disadvantage of such
a situation, seems capable of being serviceable to
the Theatre.

The new Play went of with a kind of phlegmatic
indifference on the part of the Audience, that pro-
mises but little success.

yullx, That the Stage is a mirror, we all know fot certain—
evil. Ye.:, Ma'am, it is vvriiten so over the curtain.
.7a4io. What a chltming large glass, 'tis no wonder the
Graces
So often come here to behold their fair faces :
M takes in all follies, copies eviq complexion,
And you'll all of you own, there's fine room 4:lr re"
fiir
Tonight, on its surface,
with w,iiue-r you saw
An honest, ulain-5rp%,..1 young Man of the Law ;
i4v ii.xus'it-a rich fee--:- .
. And a beautiful lass..
yua.r. And as all this you only beheld in the glass,
We're come just to look if perchance we can see .
' The person reflected—sure, that can't be he.
Flora. That—no;. Ma'am, he sits'with his muscles so steady,
A body might swear that ht.'s married already.
7mila. That spruce man in black— '
Flora. With sharp nose and wide stare !
No ; he'd refuse nothing that came to his share.
Stay—yonder—pray, Ma'am, will you just move
your fiin—
L'sselia. As I hope for a husband, you've found out the Man.
By those features, I'm sure an ingenuous Youth,
Who vastly admires hononr, candour, and truth ;
- By those eyes, half cast, down—no, I'm wrong, I
confess: • ,
Flora. Lord, Ma'am, he'.i admiring himself and his dress.
7alia. Well, it's strange we can't find—yet the reason is
plain,
To look but for one such an Hero were vain.
Our glass reflects many who Virtue revere,
And Virtue can never be singular here.
May its beams oft illumine the mirror before you ;
May its blessings diffuse their best influence o'er
• you;
While Folly, abaslikl, shall retire at the sight
Of the.worth that's refieded from.you ev'ry night.
[Exit. •

Fl pa. So much for Refiefilons—e'er / bid adieu,
• I'll leave a !mist pleasing refleaion for you :
'Tis that Pienty shall crown ev'ry year with in-
crease,
While from War's dreadful toil oue 1°,1(1 heroes
shall cease,
And receive their reward in the bosom of Peace. •
