MESSAGE OF THE FIRST CONSUL To FHF, CO

VATIVE SENATE.

St. Clcutl, April 18, LE,D.;

BONAPAR.TE, FIRST CONSUL OF TI-IE REPUBLIC, TO THE

CONSERVATIVE.

SENATORS,

The Senator JOSEPH BONAPARTE, Grand Officer of th'e
Legion of Honour, has testified to rue his wish to participate
in the dangers of the Army encamped cn the Coast of Bon:
logne, in order that he may partake of its gory.
I have thought it for the benefit of the State, and the Se:.
nate will ..see with pleastue, that after having rendered im-
portant services to the State, as well by the wisdom of hia
Councils in the most difficult circumstances, as by the abi-
lity and wiAoin displayed in t'he iuccessive Negotiations of
the Treaty of Morfontaine, which terminated our ditrirencei
with the United States of America; of that of Luncville,
which pacified the Continent; and lastly, of that of Amiens,_
which re-established Peace between France and England ; the
Senator (oavtn Bor FAarF is enabled to contribute to the
vengeance which the French People promise themselves for
the violation of this latter Treaty, and in that case to acquire
a still stronger title to the esteem of the Nation.
'Having already served under my eyes in the first campaigns
of the War, and given proofs of his courage and merit, I have
appointed him Colonel Commandant of the 4th Regiment of
the Line, ore of the most distinguished • Corps in the Army,
and which, though amongst those who have always been
placed at the post of danger, have never lost their Standards,
and have often led on to vidury.

I desire in consequence, that the Senate trill agree to the
demand made on behalf of the St:ll3tOr JOS/41'1 BON A;
PARtE, for liberty to absent himself from its deliberations,
during the period when the operations of War shall detain
him in the Army.

(Signed) BONAPARTE.

THE OPERA.—Never, we believe, did a new
Opera go off with more eclat thus II Parse di Pro-
serpina, brought forward last. night at the King's
Theatre, for the Benefit of GRASS ii;l. Tile Mu-
Sic is by NVINra, and is a wonderful produetion
of genius, even without considering that it was Com-
posed in a very short time. Indeed, the exerzioni
of the composer, performers,. vocal and instrumen-
tal, and the painters, in bringing it forward in so
perfect a state, deserve the highest praise. The
whole was a rich respafit to the amateur and profes-
sional auditor. In the first act, a delightful duo be-
tween BILLING-I'ON and GRASS INI was encored ; so
was an air by GRASSINI, and a terzelto by Bit,.
LINCTON, GR ASS IN I and ViGANONI. At the
end of this aa, w INTER retired from the Orchestra,
amidst the loudest plaudits that a Composer ever re-
ceived in a similar situation. In the second aa there
were no less than jive encores, among which was an
air by GaAsst Nt, and a duo by her and Mrs.B!LT.rNG_
TON. It is impossible to say too much of their efforts.
The Composer was greeted in :he same flattering
manner by the Audience on the conclusion of tic
Opera. DES HAY ES and his wife enriched the se-
cond aa by a charming Pas de deux. The Scenes
are very grand and appropriate. MART NAR I has
shewn on this occasion the imagination of a Poet as
well as the powers of a great Artist. The Orchestra
was most ably led by WEICHSCLL, And the Musi-
cians in general deserve much praise. HoLmEs's
bassoon appeared to great advantage. The Theatre
was thronged in ail parts, and GRASS INI testified
her gratituo.e on the conclusion, in a very I;racel.til
I and impres.iive tuarL;el.

* This extraordinary behaviour of the, dragoons, added to
—the conduct of the drivers.; who even on the best road, be-,
tween Clermont and Varennes, could never be prevailed on
to proceed but extremely slow, in general walking their
horses, may serve to open the eyes of the world respednig
the scheme laid for interrupting his Majesty's journey.
+ It is worthy of remark, that, as the coach. entered Va.
rmnts, when it was bothlate and dark; a loud whistle was
heard by. M . de Malden; and others of the compar. y.

The Bill stated, that Lord Courtenay, during his
minority, and since he came of age, had employed
the Defendant Godsall as his coachmaker, viz. from
the year 1789 to the year 1793 ; that during these
four years, Mr. Godsali's bill for various carriages
amounted in ti,54.71. and in one year alone, came
to between five and six thousand pounds. That the
Defendant pressing fur the payment of this account,
and it being then inconvenient to Lord Courtenay
to discharge the same, he offered to give his
bond for Ssool. on account of the demand, payable
by two instalments, at six and nine months, with 4
per cent. interest; and that this bond was given with-
out any settlement or examination of the accounts
by Lord Courtenay. That upon the first instal-
ment on this bond becoming due, Lord Courtenay
received a letter from Messrs. Pybus and Co. the
Defendant's bankers, demanding payment of the
same, they having advanced m mey to the Defend-
ant, on the credit of Lord Courtenay's security ;
and that in consequence of such application, his
Lordship did pay 40001. with interest on the
amount thereof. That it being inconvenient to Lord
Courtenay to discharge the remaining instalment,
he proposed to the Defendant to execute another
bond for 70301. payable at three instalments, one
of 30001. and two others of zoool. each, bearing
interest at 5 per cent, which proposal was acceded.
to by the Defendant, and the bond was accordingly
given, hut without any examination, admission,
or settlement of the Defendant's account. That
upon the first of those instalments becoming due,
the Defendant pressed for the payment, with which
Lord Courtenay, being then unable to comply, de-
sired his Solicitor to write to the Defendant, pro-
posing that a new bond should be given, allowing
further time for the payment, and promising that
his bills should be examined and settled as soon as
possible. 'That a new arrangement was according-
ly made, by which Lord Courtenay agreed to pay
the Defendant's demand in three years,wi:h interest ;
and a bond, and a Warrant of Attorney as a further
security, were executed by his Lordship. That the
first instalment upon the last-mentioned bond be.
came due in the year 2799, when the Defend.int in-
sisted upon the same being immediately paid, which
it being out of the power of the Plaintiff at that
time to comply with, the Defendant proceeded to
enter up judgment, and sue out execution thereon.
That Lord George Thynne thereupon paid the De..
tendant, on the Plaintiff's account, the sum of
4.0001. but that no settlement of the Defendant's ac-
counts then or since took place, and that upon the
other instalments not being paid, the Defendant had
issued an execution upon the Plaintiff's goods in
Puwderham Castle, to a very great amount.
The Bill then prayed, that this being an unliqui-
dated account, never examined or approved of by
Lord Courtenay, the Defendant might be restrained
from proceeding to a sale, until the demand should
be reviewed by one of the Masters.
Mr. ROMILLY and Mr. PEMBERTON, for Lord
Courtenay, contended, that even some of the items
ginratnhtei,D, would justify the Court .In.
geafenndinajnutilbi in order to afford room for,
a farther investigation of the fairness of the charges.
That in one year, the Defendant's hills "amounted
to between-five and six thousand pounds, no less a
sum than 16801. being charged for a landau, and
13604 for one coach, with many other charges
equally exorbitant, as 170 guineas for a Hammer_
clod), and 2651. for a set of harness ; and in the
space of the same year, no less than twelve car-
riages being charged to the Plaintiff. But even if
these extraordinary charges were not admitted a's a
sufficient ground for the interference of the Courr,..
yet the fact of these accounts never having been in
any manner settled or.adjusted, would alone justify
its interposition. The letters from the Plaintiff's
Solicitor all state, that Lord Courtenay had never
seen the bills; and the only ground which can be
urged, as affording an appearance of a settlement,
is the circumstance of Leta Courtenay's Steward
having made some observations upon the margin of
the bills as to some of the charges, which the
Defendant had since deduned, to the amount of tool.
Mr. RICHARDS and Mr. LEACH, fur the Defend-
ant. " The mere amount of the charges in this case
can furnish no ground for the Court's granting this
injuktion. Lord Courtenay is well known as a man
of extraordinary taste, and the gratification .of it
Intn.t necessarily be attended with extraordinary ex-
pence. carriages, as Mr. Godsall swears, were
of the most sumptuous description. They were
lined with real gold and silver lace, with coronets
of solid silver round the top, and the most eminent
artists were employed in every part of the vtork.
Mr. Godsall states, that he had difficulty to find
Herald painters, who could emblazon with sufficient
elegance and eired, his Lordship's arms upon the
panneis ; and, in order that the carriage might not
be claimed by a wrong owner, paint the motto
upon every spoke of th.- wheels. Indeed such care
was taken in the finishing, that your Lordship will
find an item of two guineas in one of the bills, for
attending at the Herald's• College, to examine the
alms of the Courtenay family, lest the present
Noble Lord shoeld lose the honour of his high
descent, by the omission of a single quartering.
The charges for the landau and the coach are cer.
tiled), very extraordinary in their amount ; but it
must be recollected, that it was a very extraordinary
coach, and a very extraordinary landau. Even such
charges as these may be exceeded ; for .your Lord-
ship ally recollect, that a Noble Lord, who held
One of the highest offices in a Sister Country, similar
ttl the one yOur Lordship holds here, I mean the
of Clare, paid no less a sum than 40031. for a
