CONSERVATIVE SENATE.

SITTING OP THE 3D APRIL-SENATOR COUNT BAR
THELEMY, PRESIDENT.

Upon the occasion of the assurance given to
the Senate by the Emperor Alexander to set at
liberty all the French prisoners of war within his
states, the Senate, deeply affected by this act of
magnanimity, which is to restore so many unfor-
tunate men to their families, decrees, that the
Provisional Government shall be invited to take
all the necessary measures to accelerate their re-
turn. The Senate also decrees, to consecrate in
their Registers the remembrance of such great
magnanimity.
The Senate recalls into its bosom all the absent
Senators, except those whose presence shall be
judged useful in the Departments.
The present Decree shall be transmitted to
the Provisional Government fo'r execution.
M. the President communicates to the Assem-
bly several letters which it bad received from dif-
ferent Members of the Senate.
Four of the letters, written under the date of
the 4th of April instant, contain the adhesion of
SenatorsD'Aboville, Francis de Neufcheteau, Le-
noir Laroche, and Shee, to the measures adopted
by the Senate in its preceding Sittings.
Senators Lejeas, Legrand, and Fallet-l3arol,
excuse themselves by three letters, of the same
date-, being unable, on account of ill health, to at•
tend the sittings of the Senate.
M. Senator Count Larnbrecht read the projet of
the New Constitution, revised and adopted by the
Senate, in the following terms
The Conservative Senate considering that a
constitutional Monarchy exists only by virtue of
the Constitutio•i, or Social Pact :
That Napoleon Buonaparte, during some time
of a firm and prudent Government, had given to
the nation grounds to reckon in future upon acts
of wisdom and justice ; but that he has since de-
stroyed the compact which united hint to the
French people ; particularly in levying imposts
and establishing taxes, otherwise than in virtue of
the law, contrary to the express tenor of the oath
which he had taken on his accession to the throne,
conformable with the 53d article of the Act of the
Constitution of the 28th Foreal, year 12:
That he has committed this infringement upon
the rights of the people, even when he adjQyrned,
without necessity, the Legislative Body, and sup-
pressed, as criminal, a report of that Body, whose
title and share in the national representation he
disputed :
,
T a
hat he has undertaken series of wars in vio-
lation of the Fiftieth Article of the Act of the
Constitution of the 22d Frimaire, year eight,
which requires that the declaration of war should
be proposed, discussed, decreed, and proalulgatecl,
as laws are :

That he has unconstitutionally passed several
Decrees, inflicting the penalty of death, particu-
larly the two Decrees of the sth March last, tend-
in., to have considered as national a war which.
had no ground but in the gratification of his own
immeasurable ambition
That he has violated the constitutional laws by
his Decrees upon the State Prisons :
That he has annihilated the responsibility of
Ministers, confounded all the 'powers, and de-
stroyed the independence of the Judicial Bodies

Considering that the liberty of the press, esta-
blished and consecrated as one of the rights of the
nation,, has been constantly subjected, to the arbi-
trary censure of his police, and that at the same
time he has always availed himself of the press to
fill France and Europe with fabrications, false
maxims, doctrines favourable to despotism, and
outrages against foreign Governments :
The acts and reports approved by the Senate
have undergone alterations in • their publication
by him :

Considering that, instead of reigning for the
sole view of the interest, happiness, and glory of
the French people, according to the terms of his
oath, Napoleon has completed the niisfor►unes of
the country, by his refusal to treat upon condi-
tions which the national interest required him to
accept, and which did not compromise the honour
of France :

By the abuse which he has committed of all the
means confided to him in men and money ; by
forsaking wounded without dressing, without sup-
port, without subsistence :

By various measures, the consequences of which
were, the'ruin of cities, the depopulation of the
country, famiae, and contagious diseases :
Considering that, by reason of all these causes,

the account.

Many Merchants and others have already gone
from Dover to Calais, but they are not permitted
to proceed further—indeed, there was some diffi-
culty in entering the town.

Mr. Mlirz, the Alessenger, arrived at the Fo-
reign Office, Downing-street, early this morn-
ing, but he has not, we understand, bough any
Dispatches of importance.

We have this day given copious extracts from
French Papers to the sth, one day later than those
from which We selected the chief articles of intel-
ligence on Saturday and yesterday. They
,are
possessed, as might well be expected, of very con-
si.derable interest. The motives of the Senate for
the deposition of the Tyrant are temperately
stated, and yet they enumerate such a'multitude of
' crimes, and variety of guilt, that even we are asto-
nished at the extent of this'Miscreant's atrocity.
It would seem that I\l.llo.toigT, acting upon a
very romantic and false notion of generosity, con-
ditioned for the life of BUONAPARTE before be
consented to adhere to the new order of things,
and carry his corps of 12,000 over from the side
of the Usurper. We yesterday pretty fully ex-
plained our opinions upon the subject of the in-
demnification fur villany, and amnesty for mur-
der, extended to the most atrocious offender that
ever disgraced a throne, in the person of this Cor-
sican Renegade. These sentiments ere imolut

able, for they are founded upon the most 58, ere('
of all principles-711)e love of truth and justice'
