LEGISLATIVE BODY.

3 ITTsiNd OF TIDE 6TH OF MAY.

The President:announced the arrival of three
Orators of Government.
The Counsellors of State RCEDEZER, BR UI X and
E R.L I ER, ascended the Tribune.

They Were charged by GO'vernment to cOrrirouni-

case to the. Legislative Body tbe'Definitive Treaty
of Peace between England and Frenc%. Republic, and
to present a project of a LAw relative to its promul-

The discussion of the Frojca was fixed for the
zoth inst. •

Bkinx having read the Articles of the Treaty,
BER.L/E R. read the following Paper : .
" CITIZENS LEGISLATORS,
" The Government addresses to you the Treaty
which has put a final period to the disSentions ,of
Europe, and completed the great work of Peace.
" The Republic.combated for its Independence—
. _ _

its Independence is recognized : the acknowledge-
ment of every Power consecrates those rights uhich
she had held from nature, and those limits which
she derived from her vidories.

"Another Rephblic has been established in her
bosom, founded on the same, principles, and drawing
from the same source the ancient spirit of the Gauls.
Attached to France by the remembrance of a com-
mon origin, by common institution, and above all,
by the tie of benefits conferred, the Italian Repub-
lic takes rank amongst the poWers of Europe, and
amongst our allies,' supported by courage and dis-
tinguished by virtue.

". The Batavia,/ Republic is restored to a unity
of interest : freed from that double influence which
perplexed its Coui:cils, and distracted its politics,

it has regained its Independence, and finds in the
Nation which had conquered it, the most faithful
guarantee of its existence and its rights. The wis.
dom of its Administration, will preserve its splen-
dor, and the adive economy of its Citizens will re-

store its prosperity.
" The, Helvetic Republic, recognized without,
is continually agitated within by Fadions, who
dispute for power. Government, faithful Wits
principles, will not exercise over an Indepentlent
Nation any other influence than that of its Councils :
its Councils-have, however, hitherto been unheeded,
but it still hopes that the voice of wisdom and mo-
deration %vitt listened to, and that the neigh-
boUring Powers of HelVetia will not be compelled
to interfere to put a stop to troubles which menace
their 0wn,tra1,.../uillity.
11 It was due from the Republic to her engage-
ments, and the fidelity of, Spain,' to make every
effort to preserve the. integrity of the territory of
that Kingdom. This duty she ftilfilled 'throughout
the Negotiation, with•all the energy which circum-
stances would allow. The KING of SPAIN ac-
knowledges the fidelity of his Allies, and his gene-
rosity has made that sacrifice to Peace which they

endeavoured . snare h;rn.- lie has acquire.', 1.4 y thi,
new claims to 'the attachment of I.;'rtfn. ;c, and a s
title to the gratitude of Europe. Already the u rti
of Commerce consoles his States for the Galan ities of
War, and soon a spirit wilt inft:se inti)
{:is vast .reossessionS 'a new afiivity and a ::e‘i in-
d'as try.

" Napier, ancd Etruria, are restored te,
tranquillity, and the arts of Peace.—Lucca has
found rest and indepehdence under a Constitution
which has destroyed all.ttnimositis, and united all
hearts. - Liguria has fohnded, on the consent of
all parties, the principles of its organization ;
Genoa agai6 sees riches and ccomeierce enter he:
Ports. The Republic of the Wand's is •
as well as Helejetia, the prey of anarchy ; but the
EMPEROR Of RUSSIA, id COE'rth with France,
has ordered some Troops which hi; NA.
pies, to be transported thither, which 'Will re_
sore to those happy Countries the only blcssin.;
which they want, vm.itranquillity, the &Amnion
of falion,. and the enforcement of the laws; Thus,
from one extremity to the other, Europe sees Peace
restored upon the Continent and upon the,Ocean, and
its happiness founded upon the union of the Great
Powers, and upoa the Faith of Treaties..
" In America, the known principles of Govern-
.ment have afforded to Afartinico, Tobago, and St.
Lucia the most perfeß security—they no longer
dread those imprudent Laws, which would sprea.i.
:devastation and death throughout the Colonies.--,--
Theit only wish is to be united to the Mother
Cowl-try, and they will bring back to. it, with theit
attachment and confidence, .a degree of prosperity
at least equal to that which they before enjoyed.
At Saint Domingo great calamities have happened ;
great evils'are to be repaired ; btit the insurredion
grows less formidable every day :• TOUSSAINT,
out. fortresses, without treasure, withput army, is
no more than a Chief of Banditti, wandering from
mountain to•mountain,- whom our light Troops are
constantly pursuing, and willsoon destroy. •
" The Peace is known in the /de of France and
in India ; the first cares of Government have al-
ready brought back their love of the Republic,
their confidence in its laws, and afforded every hope
of Prosperity.
" Many years will pass over us without viCto-
ries, without triumphs, without those splendid'ne-
gotiations which fix the,destiny of States; but ant).

they species of success ought to mark the existence
of Nations, and above all, that of the Republic"; In-
dustry is every where reanimated, and Commerce
and, the-Arts every where unite to efface the ca-
lamities of war. Labour of every kind call for the
attention of Government. It will -perform this

new task with-success, z 8 it shd.l. poSsess the con-

fidence of the French People. The years which are
to come, will be, it is true, less celebrated, but the
happiness of France will increase, instead of her oh.
taming that glory which she would now despise.

quis of DONEGAL'S, at West W3:conibo, one of the
company la respettable farmer in the neighbour-

take., out the young. ones,, when his Lordship's
garne-kCeper, who had just come into the gardens,'
anxious for sport, seeing the Lamer's hat near the
nest, mistook it for a rook, and immediately fired at
it; but being at some distance, and shooting in a
hurry, the farmer fortunately escaped with only a
few slight wounds in his arms, shoulders, &c.
