AN EPITAPH ON MR. PITT.
Tiia first of Statesmen has resignict his breath
But fame immortal will succeed his death.
Unequalled genius, he, through every age
Or of the Grecian, or the Roman page I
Destined he was by Nature,.to controul.
The fine emotions of the human soul :
While by his oratory's copious tide
'His friends were borne along with rapturous pride;
His honest foes were wont their praise to pay ;
And Opposition.heard it's rage away. •

Contrasted talents were in HI M Combined ;
Command of temper, and command of mind :
He, whom an ardent eloquence inspired ;
Who, while he spoke, His listening audience Fred;
Knew to improve the publick solid health ;
Anti fix the sources of a Nation's wealth.

Short was his life, but large the space it ran;
Ambition blazed through his extended plan ;
While Virtue's light serene adorned the Man.

Mr.CnAMER led with his usual-ability, and the orches-
tra was filled with Instrumental Performers ofeminent
merit. As the Orchestra, notwithstanding the great
improvements made by Mr. WYATT, was found to,
be too- high, it has-been lowered, under the direc-
tion of Mr. BYFIELD, who has shown - considerable
ability in the alteration§ which have been thought
necessary.—There, was a very elegant, though not a
very numerous company. THEIR' MAJESTIES were
not present. The Pansiot? of WALES and DUKE of
CAMBRIDGE„rind many of the higher orders, gave
grace.and. brilliancy to the meeting:
Information having been given at the Public Of-
flee, MarlW)rough-street, on Tuesday, that a duel
'was about to take place near Primrase-hill, Officers
were dispatched to bring the partiei before the Ma-
gistrates. On the arrival of the Officers on the spot,
they perceived two persons waiting,and secured them,
agreeable to,- their- instru6tions, with pistols in their
possession. - They were brought to the Office, • and
held in sureties to keep the peace. They were bOtlf
-Frenchmen-;-the one , a w ine-merchant, 'and. the
Other an Officer in the British service.

These different Bodiei were conduEted intO the
Audience Chamber by the Masters Of Ceremonies,'
and introduced by his Excellency the• Grand Master
of Ceremonies iii the following Ordtr,
:The Senate being preseiii-,ed by his Serene High-
ness Prinee 'CIMBACERti, the Arch-Chancellor of
the Empire; his Excellency ''ItA.'gCOIS lan NEUi:-
tAATEAU spoke as follows,

,SIRE • •
" What a glorious day fdt all trance
which seemS, to bring back to it light and life; in
restoring to itthe preSence of your' ajesty ! What
a glorious
.moment for the Senate, honoured as it,
is with your august confidence, is the instant when
it, is permitted to conternplate in •all the brilliancy
of victory and peace, this Itriperial'Throne, which
600,000 men in arms flattered themselves they
should be able to overturn !

- " Sire! with what pleasure do we behold you
seated, after so long an absericey and which, under
any other- reign than your's, would have been so
alarmini! may justly say, an absence so long;
although it only -lasted four months;.-.Reckoning
by the number of your triumphs, these months be-
came ages—but-they fivers- mit less tardy, from our.
impatience to _behold and possess the- hero of our
age, =the deliverer of Europe, and the.father of his
country:. •

Notwithstanding-, we feel it our duty tb inform
your Majesty,.. that you . have, never ceased tb be
present in the boson' of the, Senate, Sire! not 'only
;by that renoWn which fills the universe, but by that
feeling which attaches us all to your Majesty, and
unites our affections and eleAtinies to your's," 141,0 m
the moments -that your Majesty ..announced to es
that departurewhich we could not have foreseen,
all our hearts accompanied. yo.o beyond the Fran--
tiers. The rapidity of your March, always out-
stripping our hopes, continually redoubled Our zeal.
We incessantly participated in your • dangers and
your fatigues. Your sublime expressions, your
astonishing aaiozss, drew us along .with you in a
kind of enchamnient, which met with na- inter-
ruption during four months. Yes, Sirel without
taking breath, we were present with• you: at.Wer-
tingin, at Ulna, at Vienna, at Austerlitz ; and, in
a More pleasing manner, at carlsruhe, at Stutgardt,
and lastly, at Munich. With the soldier, we
marched from, victory to viEtorye with the :father
of a family, We celebrated a happy and illustrious
marriage.
But after all these' wonders, hoW impatient did
the desire your return ! With what unanimous ar-
dour would the.. itrimense• population of the first. of
these cities have pressed on the heels of the Senate
to meet our Emperor and our -Hero, if time would
have allowed you to yield to our Wishes ; or; rather,
if Om- Majesty's devotion -in -the-public service had
not imposed it as a duty upon you, to signalize your
arrival by meeting your COUlltilS. a trait m
your :Majesty's character, and which deserves tO'be
remarked in your manner of seeing things--to reign,
with you, is to forget himself, and to live for others.
Thus, With Your Majesty, .the'labour of the evening
'has no,other perspeetive-of reward, than the labour
of the following day. . • -
Ah, Sire I suspend, for one-day, this unceasing
aaivity : all eyes are impatient to see NAPOLEON the
Great--,all hearts are open to him.
We shall not endeavour td paint wha"t we feel.
The transports of the public joy will speak More
forcibly- than .our• weak words. There is one, thing
which the Senate feels itself obliged to say, and
that is, that the sentiments of the feople'are worthy
of the actions of the Prince. The, French 'nation is
proud of its. Monarch, Sire ! all yottr contempora-
ries congratulate themselves*upon the age in which
they live. "
. •
IlapPy are thOse, whO being able to escape, or
to survive our unfortunate discords, to witness' the
glory of their Country,. and to contemplate the bril-
liancy`and prosperity which Heaven sheds on this
Empire; t.:ince the Senate, the People, and even God
himself, have placed.the sceptre in "hands so Worthy
to hearit.
" Ah! from this epoch, how should France adore
its fourth dynasty. What problems have been re-
solved; both abroad and at heine !
At home, in. fact, the -French name is respe&-
ed ; our 'Allies are.confirmed z our enemies recog-
nized as the enemies of Europe ; and their perfidious
corribinatiOns have only 'served toincrease.the splen-
dour of your crown, and your personal glory.
Had. they conspired to make you even greater-than
you are, ,they could not more effe&ually have suc-
ceeded, - • •
" Abroad, your Majesty, -always'faithful to your
principles, inviolably maintains the union of liberty
with the monarchy. All our fears 'are past, our
dopes are increased. Sire ! all the Wench feel what
they owe you. There is not one who does not feel
for your Majesty that enthusiasm which a great soul
impartS, and -which seems to exalt the minds of
others towards it. _
". Deign, then, Sire! to receive by those sacred
titles our congratulations, our sentiments, and our
homage, which are. those of your great people.
Vouchsafe, 0 best and most illustrious of Princes !,
to receive. favourably those tributes of admiration,
dtivotion, and respeEt, which the whole Senate has-
tens to offer to your Imperial and Royal Majesty
and althotigh your Modest, speaks so humbly of the
numerous prOdigies by which that genius, which ha 4
already .surpassed all other heroes,- now surpasses it-
self, permit that we fulfil the decree of the Senate,
ins solemnly 'Conferring on the Saviour of France the
title of Great—a: title so.well deserved; this title,
which the voice of the :people, which is in this in-
stance the voice of God, has
,enjoined us to decree

ROME, JAN, i I.—Cardinal RUFF° bean here
these three days past, and seems.to have come from
Naples upon affairs relative to his Court. He, had a
conference with Cardinal FEsen, the French En-
voy, immediately after. his arrival, and Cardinal
GONSALVI, the Papal Secretary of State. We hear
that, upon the, conclusion of the conference, Car-
dinal RUFFO dispatched two Couriers, one to his
Court, and the other to the Marquis DE GaLLQ,
.the Neapolitan Envoy in France, with. Dispatches to
the Emperor NAPOLEON, It is Weil known 'that
Cardinal Morro refused to take any part in. the hos-
tile plans of his Court.
According to the rumours in circulation since the
Cardinal's arrival, a singular circumstance has oc-
curred at Naples. It is even 'asserted, that- the
English, who arrived there at the same time with
the Russians, have opposed their re-embarkation,
under the pretence that these Troops, being in the-
pay of England, had' no right to obey any orders
but those of a British Commandant. What gives
weight to this report is, that Cardinal RUFF° is at-
tended by a Russian Otileci', who 'Seconds the Car-
dinal's application 'to the .POPE; to prevail upon the
French .Army to defer their march, which has al-
'l ready arrived Within a short distance from Rome. .
