here-on the,24th of May with M. SALICETTI, toe
French.Minister;on the 'next clay an Extrarirdinary
Sitting of the Ligurian Senate was held, in' whil.th
the most important question which could b sub-
mitted to the consideration of that Assembly
.was
in
discussed. The Genoese Senate, this Meeting,
fbimally declared for an Union with the French Em-
pire, proclaimed its conditions; and resolved to sub-
mit it to the approbation of the people. The De-
cree follows in these words
" The Senate, taking into consideration the actual state of
the Republic, and convinced that an independence, without
strength or means to proton its commerce, the only source of
its national prosperity, is of no advantage to the.SL4e of Li-
guria, and that it cannot exist without being united to the
French Empire,
.particularly. since Piedmont has been in-
corporated with it ; considering,. besides, that the declara-
tion made at the COngress of Aniiens„.; by the English Go-
vernment,- that it could not recognize the Republie of
Genoa until it had resumed its nntient farm (a Condition
to which the Ligurian' people could never consent), ex-
' poses it to the severe necessity of being involved in all the
naval wars whieh may arise between France and England;
considering that it, on one side, the Carbary Powers, ofeso-,
lacing: the Ligurian commerce, make all Maritime comma-,
nications impra4licable; so, on the other, our cernmunica-
tions by land are as much interrupted by the necessary sys-
tem of the French LaW of Customs ; considering, in fine,
that theonly means of withdrawing ourselves front a situa-
tion so critical, of re-establishing our comM
m eree, of recover-
tog all our rights and privileges, and of remov in; ail the 0b...
staolea to our participatiilg with the cemm:!reeot France, the
immense advantages which Peace will assuredly pracure for
her, is ro incorporate ourselves with the Frenith 'Natien ; and
that to-obtain this favour it i wfviseable to profit of the
of the Emperor end -Kips of Italy ; decree:, •

The Registers having been immediately opened
, throughout all Liguria, to receive the votes of the
Funetionaries and Citizens, the Decree of the Senate
was instantly ratified by a great majority of affirma-
tive votes. The Registers were calleded at Genoa,
and entrusted to Deputies, who yesterday set out to
present them to the. EMperor of the French,. and
to intreat his Majesty tO grant the request enressed.

The following is the Answer of BONAPARTEk
upon receiving the Deeree of the Ligurian Senate,
for uniting that Country to the French Empiie :
" You, the Doge, and Deputies.o Mt ,Senate and
People of Gana. . .
•
CircuMstances and your wishes have
_often calico.
upon me, for the last ten years, to intertere in your
dothestie concerns. I have, always-endeavoured to
procure peace, for you,'and to introduce those liberal
ideas which could alone confer on your Govorn-
merit that splendour which it formerly-enjoyed. But
.
I early had convincing proof of the utter impotisi-

thing worthy of ybur I'6.7e:llowis. A greet cliance
has. taken place ; the new principles of maritime
}apt, which theeEnglish'have adopted; and compelled
the ~.freatest part of Europe to 'recognise. ; the right
of blockade, which it isln their power to ektend to
pla-ees which are not blockaded, even.• to whole.
coasts and rivers, end which, in nothingelse
than to.coutroul, at their-pleasure, the commerce of
the world, the Increasing depredatiens of the Bar-
bary Powers; all those ,eircumsiatices presented to
.you only a nominal independence. Posterity will be
grateful . to rne, fer having endeat-oto-ed to establish
the Freedom of the Seas, and to compel,theßarBary
. Powert to refrain from molesting. the weaker flags;
and to live at home 'as agriculturists and honest.
men. „ The welfare and-the dignity a the human
rece wrere Inv only objects. At the Treaty of Amiens,
England refused to co-operate in those liberal ideas.
Since that time 'a great. Contineatal Power has shewn,
ins mach repugnance to..the same. principle; Alone
to maintain those principle's, I should have bad re-
course to 'arms ; but I Itlve no right to spill the bloed
of my people, exceptfor their oein'pectiliar interests.
From the moment that .'eetrope could not obtain
from England that the oCblocktide shOuld be
re,striaed to places really blockaded ; from the um-
.
mot that the flag of the weak was unproteaed, and
at 'the mercy of. the piracy of the 'Barbary Powers,
there was nolo:4er any manitime.independence; and
from that moment every sensible man runst have fore,
seen ;\ it new come to pass: 'Whwnever a.commer-
ci;il nation has no maritime independence, itbecornes
inelen%eet on it to place itself under the proteaion of

such places as are really, blockaded by land as well
