- HE grand question which has othtple.,l the at.

Mon/true of the z9th of April; accompanied

trati of a letter from London of the 24. th of Match,
has not however escaped notice—" God knows (says
the letter, among other things) when the•expedition
will set sail for the other side of the water ; but be
assured of this, that, sail when it may, we shall not
fail to give a very satisfatiory account of it. The
attempt, once made, will never be repeated, and the
question, or rather the threat, of Invasion, will be
decided for ever." These expresaions have given
rise to the following paragraph in the Official Jour-
nal, in the form of a Note, which is remarkable in
more than one passage
‘4 We agree perfectly with this good Englishman,,
that, let the Expedition once sail, and the question
will be decided fur ever. We must.add, however,
that we do not understand this assertion in the same
sense in which he employs it. We cannot but de.
plore the fate of a Country which the faults of its
Government have-placed in a situation so critical.

to the following .vote :
••

That NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the First Consul, be pro-
claimed Emperor of the French, and in that capacity invest-
ed with the uovernment of the French Reputilic;
That the title of Emperor and the Imperial Power be made
Hereditary in his, Family in the male line, according to the

order of primoitenitti re ;
That in introducing into the organization of the Consti-
tuted Authorities, the modifications rendered necessary by the
establishment of hereditary power, the equality, the liberty,
and rights ot'the people shall be preserved in all their inte-

grity.
This vote shall be presented to the Senate by six Orators,
who shall explain the views of the Tribunate.

The foregoing Decree having been put to the
vote by the President of the Tribunate, it was
carried by aeclamation, with the single exception
of the only Member who delivered his Sentiments
against its adoption. Citizen JARD-PAuviLLIERS
was named first Orator, to present, the following

day, the Vote of the Tribunate. The other five
Orators who ate to accompany hinl were chosen
by lot.

Citizen GALLOIS then made a speech to prove
the necessity of the third article of the Vote. This

was at length, un the motion of SAHUC, signed-on
the Register by the Tribunes present, to the number
\of forty. eight, among whom was, joss PH MOREAU,
the brother of the General now confined in the
Temple. The Member who had formerly delivered
his sentiments against the Vote, alone refused to
affix his signature. The Officer of the Court having
presented to him the pro-ces 'verbal, he merely cast
his eye over the contents, and returned it without
signing his name to it. We must now eedeavour
to explain the manner in which the objettions of
CARNOT were refuted, and we cannot do this better,
than by giving the express and interesting reply of
CAR lON NICAS, at the same sitting. CAR lON
NlsAs after, in the exordium of his speech, an.
flounced his design of speaking with the greatest
moderation, entered on the consideration, of the
question, and observed,
Citizen CARNOT is afraid that the measures pro.
posed (the' nomination of Empetor, and the appoint-
ment of a Hereditary Succession) amount to nothing
short of the total and absolute destruCtion of the Re-
publie,and that those who support them have either the
intention, or are so unfortunate as to give, up liberty
and the Country the prey of a Despot. What ! because
the First Magistrate shall be called Emperor, and
because his power shall be hereditary, shall there no
longer exist in France, Liberty or a Country ? Shall
we have. no law or, a social compafl, for, according
to his opinion, these first wants of a people are in-
consistent with such a .species of dominion, such a
form of the Supreme Magistracy. Thus thought not
that zealous Republican J. J. ROUSSEAU, who has
fortnal:y declared, that ev,sry legitimate Government,
that is, a Government founded on law, is a Republic.
What ! is there any man who would'now talk of
putting men above law ? What Government is more
legitimate than . that which proposes, organizes,
and accepts it%elf, which is inconsistent with the
liberty, the maturity, and the so!emnity which pre-
ceded it, which inspired the measures 'which we
adopt, and .which presides over their discussion'?
Citizen CARNOT is afraid of beholding the return
of the ancient Monarchy of France, of feudal and
proprietary Royalty. Very little refie&ion is neces-
sary to shew, that betwixt that species of Royalty,
and that which we now propose, there is as great
difference as betwixt light and darkness. Royalty
began with taking possession of the land, with the
seizure of the persons 'of those who inhabited it.
The Inhabitants were then bornines potestates addled
glebe. It was on these mcnstrous fiaions that the
righti, titles, and Jos of the Government of Roy-,
alty were founded. The King of the French,
such as the' Constituent Assembly wished to ap.
point him, the Emperor of the French Republic,
such as we npw wish to establish, is neither the
proprietor of the soil, nor of those by whom it is
inhabited.... He is the Head of the French by .their
volUntary choice. His dominion is moral, and no
servitude can legally proceed from such a system.
Citizen CARNOT seems to believe that the result
to which- we now dire our attention has been long
beforehand prepared by the FIRST CONSUL, with
an art as skilful as a desire constant and indefatiga-
ble. 00 the contrary, it is a fa6l,- and I call on.
those who know it best
.t 6: declare' (and there are
many who can do so) that the FIRST CONSUL was
the last to enter into this sort of holy conspiracy
its favour of the country, formed on the 18th Bru-
maire (Nov. 9,) by a small number, among whom I
hAd the honour to be one ; a small number,. which
'successively increased till it became an innumerable
multitude—the whole French People, whose wish
it is 'now impossible to disobey. It 'is true that
the object was at first concealed, that the end in
view was disclosed with a certain degree of ad-
dress, that the precautions necessary to secure .its
success were adopted. There were (and. Citizen
CARNOT continues among that number) a number
of Citizens, the number of which have daily di.
minished, who, full of Revolutionary prejudices and
errors, had not benefited by the lessons of reflediou
and experience, and who were not yet capable of ad-
mitting truth. It is this' that rendered address neces-
sary in disclosing the light to a person diseased who
has been long deprived of it. In the midst of this
adivity of _wise opinions which were advancing to
improvement, and of erroneous notions which seemed
to take a retrograde course, the FIRST CONSUL
shewed a resistance and a reluaance as sincere as
for a long time invincible, to the result of which
lie perceives the necessity. He was, however,
the last to perceive it, and it is only a day since
that, compelled by the public voice, you sec
him publish those Addresses which six months
*ago poured on him from ail parts of the Republic,
supported by the warm solicitation of the Ma.
•gist rates and Public FunStionaries, and which lie has
hitherto
,suppressed. The alarm created by the
attempts at assassination againstthe person of the
FIRST CONSUL, by the Pros Pea of the frightful
evils which would have followed from them, had
they taken effeet, have strengthened
every resolu-
tion and hastened every measure. The Ft ItST CoN-

• -
glary.—A word froM him, a single emotion or that
great soul which he could disclose w the Couotry,,-.
will render that truth more evident than all the
tails and all the assertions which I could adduce.
One day the FIRST Co,i4SU I; spoke with the most prd.
found sensibility of the miseries of the .Revolution
some one wished to weaken his eMotion,, by a repre-
sentation of the results of that great crisis, and in
conclusion said to lii(n, ‘f it does not belong to
you, Citizen FIRST CONSUL,:tO be afflitaed at
the RevOlntion ; without it • you would never
have been elevated to the rank Which you now hold,
and you would never have acquired that immense
glory with which you are covered." • "
exclaimed BON AP e.RTE, " would to God that
France had never heard of me—that- its Govern-
ment had never been guilty of such errors, and that
its people had never experienced such miseries."—
No, the -Man whose heart gave birth to these ex-
pressions which I confide to History, sees, in the
aggrandizernent of his: power, only the increase of
the means of public happiness. He seeks in his own
grandeur only the glory of the Nation. He ac,
cepts the rank which is offered to him, and he has
not eagerly courted it. There is a certain species
'of ambition which is above certain low views.
Citizen C.AgNOt (eolltitut:A CAR lON NISAS) •
wishes to alarm us by the exotv.4e of the C/ESARs,.
and the disorders of the Rom in Empire. This fear,
however, is very ill founded, anti. the analogy by. no
means just. On the contrary, the great misfortune and,
the capital delea.of the power with which the Caesars
were invested, arose from that power not being here-
ditary ; the privilege of adoption destroyed every
thing, and eieaion threw every thing into confusion;
and these are precisely the inconveniencies to which
the system we now wish to introduce is direaly op-
--posed. By'persisting in a system nearly similar to
that of Rome, Poland has been destroyed. By
adopting one neatly similar to nuts, Russia has made
a very considerable'step to its consolidation.,
Citizen CAROOT has had recourse to the Roman
Republic, and has exhibited to us a petted Govern-
Merit and liberty at the same time wisely preserv-
ed in that vast State : without doubt it. hecame
great, indeed, but •in proportion as it became
• great, did it become also Democratic ! In order to
render the Governmettt efiettlive, did they not per-
ceive the necessity of a • single head ? Citizen
CARNOT is-convinced of this truth, and admits the
temporary remedy of. the Dit-tatorship—temporary
indeed in regard to ,the people who intended only to
establish it for a short time, but that might become
perpetual in the hands of ,an enterprising and ambi-
tious DiCtator, . a bloody transition from Dernocra-
tical licentiousness to an Empire undefined and with-
-1 out a constitution, or in other words, an absolute

despotism.
Citizen CARNOT urges an objcaion against the
hereditary system, which is real, and cannot be
eradicated. It is. certain that this species of Go.
vernment sometimes makes Nations enter into do-
mestic interests, and enhance family quarrels. This,
no doubt, is. a danger ; but what human institution
is without danger ? But these interests have at least
some reality, someutility among the people at large,
and this danger is less than that to which Nations
are often exposed in consequence of espousing the
quarrels, and enlisting themselves on the side of
the personal passions, quarrels, and interests of their
rulers or theit orators. Pr.tioc LES was not an here-
ditary Prince, but fox an insult offered to Asi.ActAi
the Grecian Republic was set on flames. In the
best rirnes of the Roman Republic, espousing some.
times the interest of a Tribune, and at another that
of some other fackitious party, involved the Senate
in constant alarm ; and the Senate, sacrificing, the
people to their private interests and private quar-
rels, embroiled them with their offending.and un-
offending neighbouri. 'lle. pretext for a foreign
War was never wanting when the Senate dreaded
the approach of civil broils, and the blood o the
people continued to flew.
This brings me to the considerations which Citi-
zen CARNOT urged, by way of anticipation, as far
as regards our relation with Foreign Powers. Sure-
ly it is only necessary to employ the-slightest de-
gree of common sense, to see that they will a thou-
sand times prefer a Government analogous . to their
own, to a Government always menacing, because
the principle of its establishment .would be opposed,
and. consequently inimical. The Government of an
individual has for its guarantee abroad, the wisdom,
the maturity, the experience of the Prince; there is
neither wisdom, maturity, nor experience in a Prince

certainly liable to change; and that eternal effer-
vescence of popular Governments, a prey to every
passion, eternally menaces and agitates the interests
of surrounding States, and confounds all the relations
of external politics. This recalls to my recollettion
the observations of the profound and prophetic re-
mark of a Statesman (M. In MERCI ARGENTEAU), •
the Minister of Use House of Austiia, who, about
the time of the greatest revolutionary convulsions,
was asked,whether, if he thought seriously that with
German arms he could replace the BOURBONS on the
throne, he la ould not rather prefer leaving the Re-
public quiet to govern itself, as those then in power
judged most expedient i " We know well (answered
this wise Politician) that we cannot make France ac-
cept masters whom she has determined not to receive.
We know, also, that raw and inexperienced as her ar-
miesare,they will more thanonce beat our Ttoops,and
cause dreadful loss. We will support these reverses,
and we will continue to fight, sometimes advancing
and sometimes retreating, according to the varieties
of fortune. At the end of some years, a General or a
Politician must necessarily arise in France, who will
_seize on the Government, who will reduce every
thing to regular order, and with him shall conclude
a Peace." That would be impossible ; it would be
frivolous with a Revolutionary 'Species of Govern.
ment, which would for ever threaten to set Europe
in flames. I confess that this Statesman appears, to
me more sagacious, more wise than our Colleague,
who proposes to 'us seriously the example of the
United States of America.
It is not now for the first time, that this example
has been held forth, and it is not for the first time
that it has been combated. After the shameful and
perfidious flight of the late King to Varrennes, VA.
DISK proposed in the Constituent Assembly the ex-
ample of the American Government, and invited
that Assembly to give to France a similar Consti-
tuion. J4RRERE spoke against this proposition.

MAY. 6.-r-Yesterday the Tribunate had an Extra..
ordinary Meeting. They assee)led fur the purposd
of hearing the Report of the Deputies who had car-
ried their opinion to the Senate. The Chief of the
Deputies, JARn.l'AuvitAt E RS, communicated iu
the Tribun6s the Speech he had addressed to the
Senators, with the .answer they had given.-
twa Speeches 'composed the whole Report. After.
which the President of the Tribunate adjourned the'
Sitting till the 2.M. of May. When the result of
the deliberations. of the Tribunes was presented to
the Senate, on • the erth instant,. the lViotion had.
been again amply discussed. The Speech which
Citizen JArtD.PAUVILLI gRs had delivered on that
occasion, was a recapitulation of all the prominent
arguments that had beeh• at first bn,ught_forward
the Tribune CuRIS F., and afferwatd", elucidated and
enforced in various ways by his Colleagues. i lee
• following,is the interesting Answer which the Vice,
President of the Senate made to the Deputation of
the Tribunes:
"Citizens Tribunes; this day will form a remark-
. able xra. It is the day on whidi ;you are called .nr,
for the first time, to•exercise with the Conservaiive
Senate, the republican and popular privilege ,v1):'

r
I!. ~1

the fundamental laws of the Constitutionhavede-
legated to you. You could not exercise this prL•ro_
gative at a more favourable moment; or apply it 'to
an objeet of more importance than tNe oresent. ,
.tizens Tribunes, you express to the Trustees of the.
National Rights a wish truly national. I cannot
remove the veil. which conceals for a Lillie the labours .
of the Senate. on this. infryttatir subjea. I must In-
form you, however, iri the Mean that since
the 6th Germinal (March 27), the Senate has direct_
ed the attention of the First Magistrate to the'sarne
subjed. The Senate had previously soun,led the
public opinion, and had announced it to the Govern. •
ment. But you will resume your advantages and pri.
vileges, when you observe thatiwhatwe.have been
thinking of in silence for two months, the peculiar
nature of your institution, and the •place you hold.
in the Constittition, has enabled you ist once to sub.
mit to discussion in presence of the people. -You-
have served at once the -Peryle and the Govern.
menu, by disclosing and entorcing.-ths opinion,
pregnant with so many advantages, and at first
secretly cherished in the bosun ,of this assembly,: '
where you
_have now so gloriously reported it.—
The happy development which you have,.givenoptehn_
is
great idea, procures to the Senate, ,hicii
ed the Tribune to you, the satisfa(tion of being
able to congratulate themselves on their choice,
and to, approve what they have done. In your%
public speeches we have fotrukl the basis of our
opinions.. Like, you, Citizens "fribuoes, we do,not
wish the return of the BotiaßoNs, because ,we do •
not wish a; counter-revolution, which is the oniy •
benefit we could derive from those unfortunate ex--
iles who have carried xi:11 thena:DeSpotism,
lity, -Feudal Tyranny, Slavery and Ignorance and‘
who, still to augment their crimes, have encouraged..
the hope, that a return to Francemight he food
by the way of England. I,:ke you, .Citizens Tri-
bunes, we wiss to raise a new'Dynasiy, .because we
wish to secure to the French People ail
,their rights -
which they have reconquered, Tad Which the follY Of
their Enemies would take from them. Like. ou, Citi.
zens Tribunes,we wish Liberty, Equality, and Know..
ledge, may no more have a retrograde motion. I do
not speak of the great man called upon by his glory, to
give his name to the age in which he lives, and who •
ought to be called ?n by our wishes to consecrate to
us his family and existence.- It is not to himself,
it is not to us that he ought to devote himself.—
What you propose in the ardour of enthusiasm, the
Senate will consider with cool deliberation,
" Citizens Tribunes, we are the corner stone of
the social edifice; but it is the Government of an
Hereditary Chief that must constitute the key stone
of the arch. You -repose in your bosom the wish,
that this arch-may be at last consolidated. In re-
ceiving this wish the Senates does. not forget that
what you solicit is not so much a change of the
state of the Republic, as a means of perfeCting and
establishing it, and this certainly is what we ,ate
must interested in, In this National Temple the
Constitution ought to repose in some measure on the
God Torminus. If we are induced to interfere in
any respect with this sacred compad, the guardian-
ship of which is entrusted to usb. It is only to add to
its strength and to extend its duration."
- If those gnarded explanations of the Senate are to,
be credited, public curiosity must in some measure
be satisfied. A corner of the veil at least which
covered the Communications between the Senate
, and• Government has been now removed. The Ad-
dress of the Senators to the FIRST CONsUL of the
27th of March, the favourable Answer of the FIRST
CoNsut. the 25th of April, and another Address of
the Senate of the 4th of May, are published in the
Moniterir of this day.
