PARIS, FEB. 7.—On Sunday, the, 4th- instant, his
Majesty t he. Emperor, attended by the Princes, Mi-
nisters, and Grand Officers of, the HOusehold, seat,
ed on his throne in the saloon of audienee, in the
Thuilleriets; received, before Mass, several deputa-
-tions from the Electoral Colleges of the ,Empire. To
the Address of the Eleeloral, College of Dordogne,
his Majesty replied—" MeS,ieurs, .the Deputies of
the EteLioral College of the, Department 'of Dor-
dogne, myself and my ally, the Emperor o.f. Russia,
have made every effort to give peace to the world,
but without success. The King of England, grown
old in his hatred against France; wishes:for war.
His suction prevents him from feeling the calami-
ties which.it brings upon the world at large, op:from
calculating its results with regard to his own family.
Neve+ theless, the war must cOine to an end, and
we shall theft be greater, and More powerful than
we have ever bt en: The French Empire is in . the
vigour of youths it cannot but grow and consolidate
itself. That of my enemies is in the last stage of
-life; every thing presages, its decay, Every year
that they retard the peace of the'World,, will only
augthent my power."
In answer to the Address of the EleEtoral College
Of the Department of the Roer, be said-L.." Your
country is that or Charlemagne. Now, as in
days, you form partot thZt Great Empire. 1 learn
with pleasure the good dispositions of your inhabi-
tants. I desire that such of your fellow citizens as
have their children in foreign service should recill
them. A Frenchman ought to shed his blood only
for his Prince and his country."

Remarks in the Moniteur on the Speec4esdeliv.•

erect -in the House of Lords Oct the first, day of the
S. ssion

• LORD H A a tow a 14.--" It was resolVed to destroy the'ar.l•
senal- and marine, to deprive our must implacable enemy-of'
the most 'powerful 'Tans which he harlot injuring us. Front
unforeseen events and .difficulties, this object has not been'
completely attained; but it has been attained to an extent
sufficient to frustrate all 'the plans of attack which he
,could,combine from that quarter."
Moniteur.—This Lord confides greatly in the
credulity of Parliament. Since Flushing. has
belonged to France, only one hundred thou-
sand francs have been
..expended there in the
construCtion -of a half-moon battery ; nothing has
been expended on the -basin. It is at Antwerp,
that, for the last four years, there have been,ex-
pended six millions upon the fortificatiotyl and basin,
and '6O millions for arsenals, building'yards, and
other objects in the marine department. ,The Eng-
lish are at this moment fart-her front their hbjea than
at the commencement of the ExpeditiOrt. Before
their Expedition, Waleheren, Bathz, Breda, and Ber-
gen-op-Zoom, belonged to Holland ; now Walche-
ren, Bathz, Breda; and Bergen-op-Zoom, are united
to France; for every territory bordering on France,
landed- on by the English, and unable to defend it-
self, shall,be united to the Empire. Hence, vV,hen-
everthe English wish to sign the as of incorpora,
tion with France of any contiguous territory, they
have only_ to snake a landing there, -to establish a
correspondence, and _to pi or.urr..- for themselves the
sort of. welcome reception which they experienced
in Middleburg and South Beveland. The result of
the Expedition of the English against the Isle of
Walcheren has been the -annexation of the right -
bank of the Scheldt to France; and surely nobody
will venture to say that this ameliorates the situation
of England. •. •
LordFl AR aow a It was supposed that the enterprise
would only be a coup-de-main, and• that it would be com-
pletely terminated before the return of the contagious sea-
ion."

Moniteur.—The roturn of the contagions season !
The English Expedition landed in the mon t of Au-
gust ;, and the contagious season commences in' the
I):,ginning of July.
Lord H A R ROWS Y.-" We have secured the defence of Es-
_

tremadura, and in a great nie-i-sUie-()i La Mancha. To this
Expedition is also to be ascribed.the deliverance of Gallicia
and the squadron in Ferrol, &c.
Moniteur.—To say that the Expedition to Por-
tugal prevented the occupation of Lisbon would be
corre6t; but to say that it had any influence on the
affairs. of
,Spain. is false. Besides, in the general si-
tuation of military affairs in the year tBO9, it could
not be for the advantage of the. French io occupy
Lisbon.. It was advantageous to them that the Eng-
: lish should have that point to defend, which em--
ployed a great number of troops. There remained'
in , Spain a French army so formidable, and fhe
Spanish troops are of so little consideration in a
pitched battle, that had the Walcheren expedition
landed in Spain, the English would, nevertheless,
have been beaten and driven out of it.

LoniLlyz R roo L." It is an ascertained fael, that it would
require less time and money to construa a new port, than to
re-establish the port and arsenal of Flushin4."
Aloniteur.—This iv too much. Before the month
of August next, and at, an expense of less than
tioo,ooo francs, no trace will be left of the expedi-
tion to Flushing. Hid the foundation of the dock
been injured, large sums, and more than a year's
labour, would
,have been necessary. But why all
: these details ? Flashing is of no importance:to us ;
,nor would it be re-established, brit that the English
should not have to boast-that they have destroyed it.
