PARIS, MARCH 22.

SIRE—The ILlessae which your Imperial and
Royal Majesty .has addressed to the Senate, from
your Imperial Camp of Warsaw, and the important'
events which you have . deigned to communicate.,
will form new monument of your paternal soli-
citude for the happiness of the FrenCh People.
" The date of the Treaties of Posen, which -yotir-
Imperial and Royal Majesty has caused to betrans.-
tnitted to the Senate, would be alone Silftcient to
chew, that 'after the most 'brilliant vi6tories. your
Majesty's sole objea is to obtain an honourable peace
for nations, and of course one capable of inspiring
the best hopes of its permanence.
" These Treaties, in confirming. the independence
of a brave and generous nation, whose improve-
ments, industry, manners; and interest ought to op-
proximate it to. France, augment and consolidate
that grand Confederation of the Rhine:which the
aaual state of Europe demanded, and the vast con-
ceptions of your Majesty were alone capable' of
forming, as the best guaranty of its future. interests.
The consummate wisdom of your - Imperial :and
Royal M:ijcsty has with facility perceived in the
dangtfrs- of the Ottoman Porte those which threaten
all Europe. • If the Porte were to give way to the
efforts of the Russians, what harriers would stop the
destruaive _torrents of barbarians with which the
North anti East -would -inundate the West and the
south ? .The footsteps of these Scythian savages
would be marked with devastation, blood, and fire.
Are they not still attested by the melancholy ruins they
have left in Italy, in Switzerland, in Holland, neat
the fields of the ever-memorable- Austerlitz, and in
Poiand,: where .so many banks are to be for ever
rendered illustrious by the splendid glions-of the
armies 'under yOur Majesty's command ? Arts,
sciences, civilization would perish ; or if the strength
of Enropean institutions resisted those invasions, per-
petually renewed, what would be the fate of the
industry of France, and particularly of
.that of the
southern parts of France ?
" The existence of that industry, so necessary to

the sprosperiii of so many millions of Frenchmen,
is conneeed with the independence of the Throne
of Constantinople. The Provinces and Seas which
lie near the Bosphorus constitute .the centre. to-
wards which nature ha's thought proper to dire& the
commtreo. of the world. Let the Russians obtain.
. _

possession of them, 'and the cornmerzcOf the world
will be shortly in their hands. • Happily, Sire, the
irresistible ascendency of your Majesty has relioved
the anxiety of Europe,
" The rapid and unforeseen conquest of Prussia,
and the appearance of the French Eagles on the
other side of the -Bank3 of the Vistula, have discon-
certed the ambitious and perfidious proje6ts of the
Court of St, Petersburgh. The Russians have found
at. Pultosk, and at' Golyiniu, the CoruttitrOtSof Au-
sterlitz. An extraordinary conibination in. the.course
ofthe seasons, and vast traets of moving sand, and
overflowed lands, have alone preserved their phalanxes
frcim Aestruetion. • And at the motnent when we
are. addressing to your IMperial and Royal Majesty
our wishes and our vows, new shouts of victory re-

WE have received since our last Paris and Dutch-
Papers, the former to the 25th and the latter to the
22d inst. but they bring us very little intelligence
from the Armies. They do not even contain any
accurate account of the positions which they' occupy ;
instead of Bulletins of viaories,, we have an Address
to BONAPARTE from the Conservative Senate; which
we have no doubt was *diaated to them from head 7

disgusting flattery, and expresses in very

Although it appears' strange that he should venture to
quit his army under the present circumstances, yet we
cannot suppose that the Senate would have ventured
to solicit his return unless it had been by his express
.desire. Several letter's from the Continent agree in
stating that BONAPARTE has not only lately acted in
opposition to the advice of his ablest Generals, ho;
that he has grossly insulted them. The Person who
was, a short time since, conveyed through- Magde-
burgh in a close carriage, 'and who wls. guard-

not at present the means
.of ascertaining whether
the latter part of this statement be corre& or not-,
but of the fact of one of the French Divisions hliving,
refused to advance in the Battle of tilau, wo have
no doubt. It was stated- inn letter from an COcer

pears, that in the beginning of January very serious
disturbances took Place in St. Domingo, in the
course of which much blood was shed,' and it Was
apprehended that the contest would prove still more
destrudive. The tollowing is a summary of the pro-
ceedings of the two contending parties :—,-
On the Ath of December, 1806, General Cintts-
iopHt appeared on the skirts of Port-au-Prinee,
with an army of about 10,0D0 men, to compel' the
•body of the people assemblad together to frame a.
Constitution to-appoint him Emperor
,of Hayti. -On.
his arrival there he sent a hag of truce, and deSired
to have a conference with General PtcHON, COTO-
COalijer at Port-au-Prince; who went out with' what
soldiers he bad ; but instead of a conference, as
soon as Picas i came within gtin shot of htin, his
men were -fired on by CHRISTOPHE, when a short
engagement ensued, in which there were.some offi-
cers and men killed on both sides. , picHON got in-
to Port-au-Prince, and kept,CuaISTOPHE from com-
mitting any material depredations on the town. As
his -army'was but .few in number, he thought it most
advisealne to ;lei only on the defensive, and not pur-
sue CußisTo'rne, after having driven ids troops out.
of the town at the end at which they bad entered.
Dispatches were immediately sent by PI,CHON to all
parts of the South, where
.they have dominions, for
troops; arms, ammunition,. and provisions, an&on
the day following, there was not asniute to befounk
or Siarce a man that could bear arms in the town of
-Jacmel ; all bad repaired to Port-au-Prince, to join
ProtaA's army, carrying with them provisions and
ammunition for the occasion-Several skirmishes t odic,
place in the course of eight or ten days,during which,'
time Cuatsrorme's army was within two or three
miles of Port-au-Prince, and had several Gales en-.
tered it, but • was as often repulsed. - • -
On the loth of January news was received at Jac-
met, that CuaisT OPuE bad been defeated, and that
the 'greater part of his soldiers revolted' and joined
the other side; that he had fled' for life.; 'that Pt-
CrION'S army were in .pursuit of hint, and doubt
prevailed but they would 'overtake him,' in which
Case, death would-be his lot, as they were determined
to behead him, and 'establish a federal or republitin7
government. On the night of the loth of January
Jacwel was illuminated on the occasion.
