i The time indeed is passed, in which it was believed
t hat People were made. for 'Ktogs, nut Kings ter
-'' People. Leeds, pastures, and forests may become
i .property-, but no person can possess a kingdom as it
it were a 'farm. 'These disastrous cousequencesccan
no longer take place in great States. -It is in vain
' then that: OtijeClions'are made to the great extension
Of the Empire,; -the communication by land, now
that neither Alps or Appenines oppose it, is as easy
from Leghorn to Paris as from Paris to Nice. It has
been the polies). of European States to subdue the
Most distant countries, in order to obtaio new com-
mercial and maritime resources : why' then should
we neglect those resoufces • and acquisitions which
are so valuable to us? • The territory of the Medicis.,

immediate part of the French Empire. • .
" The Dukedom of Urbino, Comerino, and the.
Mark of Ancona, lying on the coast of the Adriatic,
fall tinder the infleetace of Venice, and must neces-
sarily be united with the kingdoin of Italy. This is
• also accomplished, and the considerable works in the
port of Ancona will afford the opportunity of tilting
out there ten sail of the line, to secure the freedom of
the Adriatic Sea, of which _Ancona shall he the har-
bour, and Venice the naval arsenal. Before the end
of this year five sail of the line shall be lying iu the
roads of •Ancona, in . that dangerous sea, which to
the English peesents only hostile shores, and where
they will be obliged to maintain six Ships of the
•Line, if they attempt to counter-balance our power.
No, the war shalt not he eternal, le spite of the
blind fury'which cherishes that inhuman and sense-
less principle in the, Cabinet of London. Every .
where' French Squadrons are forming, and our Na-
val Power in the Scheldt is already considera-
ble. In a few days there will be in the roads of
.• Flushing and Antwerp a Fleet of 30 Sail of the
Line; that on the coast of Britanny will be still
stronger. -Besides that, we have the allied Russian
SqUadrou at Lisbon, where there are already a divi-
sion of several hew Ships of the Line in the best
state, which the rapid advance of the army under.
General JUN'OT placed in our hands.
" The events in Spain have converted'a declining
and badly condutted Monarchy into a constitutional

" A Decree has then issued from the. Emperor
for the Incorporatioa of Tuscany, on the principle
of the necessity for completing the system of the
great Empire, and for rendering the Naval,Admi-
nistration"of France harmonious throughent all. the'
Members of the great Confederacy. - Without the
'lncorporation of Tuscany, there coulelbe no imme-
diate coniintMication with Naples, and tier relations
could not be maintained with her but through the
medium of States subsisting under other Govern-
ments, from which it might be feared that the
.guidance and influence might be lost, whieh.Must
be exercised 'towards such estates, to place thu coasts
and sailors in a state of opposition to the common
enemy."
