COUNCIL OF STATE.

4TRACT FROM THE REGISTER or DELIISERA-
VOWS—SITTING ny THE 272 H OF ;LILY, 18o:.

Opinions upon the different questions relative to
tile execution of the Stnatus Commhum granting
4n Amnesty for the crime of Emigration.
On the Report of the Seetion of Legislation, to
REGNIER had been added, the following
questions were taken into consideration.

;. Those Individuals provisionally or definitiitly erasod
alike the zoth of 06tober, do*, to be called upon to submit
Rothe conditions of the Artinesty.

s• Art those accused of Emigration, and not ddnitively
*_.rlsed. who have died previous to its publication, to be con.
marred as Amnestied ?
1. Are those who; living at the .tinx, the Amnesty was
die before the z„id September the, without Itsy.
441 fulfilled the conditior.s imposed by the &wow Cova•/.
4114% to be considered as Amnestied ?
4- Are Foreigners accused oft migration, to be canal upon
I°'742brtlit to the conditions of the Amnesty ?

The'Council of State is of opinion, with respeei
14 the first question, that it is answered by the
Sr" Article of the Sensor Consultunr--" An
Arttoesty is granted for the crime of Emigra.
bop to every individual accused of it, and not de-
Initively erased." As the provisional erasure from
:114 List was also a definitive erasure, it is evident
It MUt mean the same thing as an erasure properly
11° Called. They must submit to the conditions
Prescribed by the Arret6 applying to them : those
of the Amnesty do not apply to them.
With respect to the second question, the Council
I:lState is of opinion, that the Amnesty having
peen principally granted in favour of the Families
" Emigrants, it is entirely conformable to the
81344 of the Senates Com:ilium to extend its grace
10 the heirs of the accused, when Death has put it
°tit of the power of the accused himself to profit
by it.
If he had lived, he would have been entitled to
Partake of the benefits granted by the i7th Article
of the Senates Consu/tum. How then can we refuse
the same grace to his Children, who have lived in
the Republic, and who were born before the Emi-
gration ?

It is well understood, that this cannot apply to
the Heirs of those individuals who are comprized in
foe Exceptions contained in the xoth Article of the
Sena/us Connatum. Those individuals could never
have prsonally profited by the Amnesty, if they
had been living at the moment of its publication,
their Heirs cannot, therefore, partake of the same
powerful considerations which operate in favour of
the Heirs of others.
With respeft to the third question, the benefits
of the Amnesty are only lost in case the Emigrant
'legleas to fulfil its conditions before the 23d of

Sept. !Sot. If, therefore, he, dies before the ex.
piration of the period granted for that purpose, his
right, which is not extind, passes to his Heir, who
is not excluded the benefit of the Amnesty until the
moment when the deceased himself would have been
excluded.

It must be supposed here, as on the preceding
question, that the deceased. was not comprized in
any of the exceptions coatained in the loth Article
of the Senatur Consuhum.

It is to be observed, that most of the conditions
imposed by the &status Consultum upon Emigrants,
are inapplicable to their Heirs. It is therefore suf_
fiCient, if the latter, before the zyl September, shall
present themselves before the I'refed of their De-
partment, and having proved the death of the Emi-
grant, they shall receive a Certificate of Amnesty.
With regard to the fourth question, as Foreigners
cannot be guilty of the offence, the Amnesty can-
not apply to them.

Vittir4, JtILY t 7 Papal Consul at Fiume
has lately received the following intelligence : A
Vessel belonging to that Consul had lately taken
on board at Leghorn a cargo of great valve, which
was destined for Messina ; nine Russian Prisoners
of War were also put on board. During the voyage
the Russians rose upon the Crew, and murdered them
all. They then hoisted Russian Colours, and sailed
into an unfrequented port of the Marra, where they
offered the Cargo for sale ; but they demanded so
low a price for it, that they were suspected and
detained.

BANKS Or Tin MEIN) JULY 23.--The last letters
from View, confirm the news of the march of the
Austrian Troops to take possession of the new Ter-
ritories of the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY. This
measure was adopted after several Conferences he-
tween Count CQ 11.2 NA E L. and the French Ambassador
CHAMPAGNY and consequently His IMPERIAL
MAJESTY has acceded to the Convention entered
into between Russia and France.

Very heavy complaints have latety been made by
the Protestants of Hungary, stating the gross Insults
they have received from the Populace, who are in-
stigated by fanatical Priests. The decision of the
Court of Vienna upon these complaints is expeEted
with great impatience.

STUTTGARD) JULY 24.—The German Journals
announce, that a new Convention has been con-
cluded respecting the changes which are about to
take place in the Constitution of the Empire. The
object of the Treaty is the organization of the Three
Colleges, the Votes which are to be assigned to
the Hereditary Princes according to the Indemnities
they receive, and the suppression of all those apper-
taining to Countries now united to France.

It is also stated, that the new Germanic Con.
stitution, according to the wish intimated by France,
will be guaranteed by France, Prussia, Austria,
and Russia, the great Prelatures will be united as
Hereditary Domains to the territories of those
Princes to whom they are to serve as Indemnities,
and theolittle Ecclesiastical States will be converted
into Public Foundations, under the Sovereignty
of the same Princes. The six Imperial Cities
will form a College, but will have no Vote
in the affairs of Peace and War, and will be hence-
forth treated as Neutrals. The Diet will not de-
liberate on the contents of this Convention until
the affairs of the Indemnities shall be terminated.

THE DUTCH" MAIL,

VIENNA, juLy 17.

AcCOEDING to accounts ftom Transylvania, the
retreat of the Rebels from Wallachia has prov.,
ed to he merely a feint, as they soon again made
their appearance, and even committed ravages on
the Frontiers on this side, but were repulsed by the
Austrian Troops of• the Regiment of Splen,
after a short engagement. On complaint being
made to PASSWAN OGLOU, of this violation of
the Austrian Territory, he returned for answer, that
all the Troops who gave themselves out for his, were
not his ; and that. those who committed any ra-
vages on the Austrian Frontiers, were banditti and
robbers, and should be treated as such. Orders
have, in the mean time, been sent to several Aus-
trian Regiments on. the Turkish Frontiers, to hold
themselves in readiness to march.

According to some accounts, the brother of the
late Hospodar of Moldavia, Prince MICHAEL
Suzzo, has been murdered by the• Rebels, and
Bucharest taken possession of by the Troops of
PAsswAx OGLOU; the latter report, however, re-
quires confirmation.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 2.

GIORGI OSMANN, who has returned to his obe-
dience to the Porte, has been promoted to he a
Pacha of Three Tails, and has received the Govern.
meat of Sifistria.

The deposed Hospodar of Wallachia, Prince Mt.
cHAEL Suzzo, has carried away with him great
riches, hut it is not probable that he will he able
to enjoy them in peace. His creditors have already
arrested him in Transylvania. He is said to have
been only solicitous to make his escape in time from
Bucharest with his treasures.

The Capitan Paella has advanced with a consi-
derable Corps, which daily receives reinforcements.
He has fixed his Headquarters at Dand-pascha.
PAsswAN OGLOU has again made offers of accommo-
dation.

ITALY, TULY tz.

IT is now settled that the KING OF SARDINIA
shall receive, on the continent of Italy, the terri-
tory between the Po and Sesia, including the Par-
mesan, and that the remainder of Piedmont will be
united to France.

FLORENCE, JULY 6.

TO-DAY Te Deum was performed here, on account
of the restoration of our Sovereign's health. His
MAJESTY yesterday received the homage and oaths
of his Subjets.
According to accounts from the Roman Ter-
ritory, the French Troops on the 82th ult. at length
evacuated Ancona. The next day the Papal Troops
entered ; and the Inhabitants expressed their joy at
this change by a general illumination of the City.
The arms of the City of Naples have undergone
a change since the return of the King. They were
before a large P. in a field or and gules ; but now
