COPT OF A NOTZ 11110 M •u itZCitiatlCT M. DZ CINAMPAGNY,

TO HIS EXCELS-INC! CARDINAL

" The undersigned Minister for Foreign Affairs aids Majesty
as Emperor of the French, King of Italy, has laid before his
gliagssty tie note of Cardinal Caprara, to which be is commanded
to return the following answer :
" The Emperor cannot recognize the principle that the Pre-
lates ere not the subjects of the Sovereign, under whose authority
they axe born.
" Al to the second question, the proposal of his Majesty is, and
from which he will never depart, that all Italy, nom% Naples,
and Milan, shall enter into an offensive and defensive tine!, for
the purpose of remoling from the Peninsula cassmotions and hoe.
tilities.
64 if the Holy Father secede to this proposal, every thing is set-
tled. If be refuses it, he announcesby such a determination that be
wishes for no arrangement, no peace with the Emperor, and that
he is at war with him. The first consequence of war is conquest,
end the result of conquest is change of Government- ter if the
Emperor is under the necessity of going to war with Rome, is he
not also under the necessity of conquering it, of changing the
Government, of establishing another, which shall make com-
mon cause against the common enemy with the kingdoms of
Italy and Naples I What other guarantee could be have for
the tranquillity and security of Italy, if these two kingdoms were
separated by a state, in which their enemies wbuld be iert263 of
meeting a cordial reception.
" These changes rendered necessary if the Holy Father persists
in his refusal. will not affeet his spiritual rights, he will continue
to be Bishop of Rome, as his predecessors were during eight cen-
turies under Charlemagne. It will be, however, td his Msjesty,
a subjc;t of grief to see imprudence, obstinacy, and blindness,
destroy the work of genius and of enlightened policy.

" At the moment when the undersigned received orders to de-
liver this answer to Ca.-dinal Caprua, be received the note which
his eminence did him the honour to address to him on the 30th of
March. This note has two objects, the first to announce the ces-
sation of the powers of the Holy See, which is notified contrary
to ordinary forms and usages, and on the eve of the holy week, a
time when the Court of Rome, if it were still animated by a true
evangelical spirit, would have thought it its duty to multiply its
spirituaTsaccours, and to preach and spew by its example union
amongst thy faithful.
" Although (the Holy Father haying withdrawrs the powers of
bis eminence) the Emperor can no longer recognize him as legate,
the FWD= Church retains its doctrine, in all its integrity, its
tisk:and its piety will contimie to preserve In France the Catholic
Religion, to cause which to be respected and defended Will always
WU glory of the Emperor.

" Tke second casket of the Note of his eminence Cardinal Cap-
tart, ato demand his passports as Ambassador. The undt
sips/has the honour to address them to him. His Majesty sees
with regret this formal demand for passports, of which the use in
modern times is to snake a declaration of war. Rome is therefore
it war with France, and in this stare of things his Majesty has
issued the necessary orders for the restoration of the tranquillity
of Italy. The Court of Rome in this conduct, and in chusing for
this rupture a time when it might have believed its arms more
powerful, may have been induced to look forward to other extre-
mities—hut the enlightened state of the age will arrest their effect.
Temporal and spiritual power are no longer confounded—the
royal dignity consecrated by Clo.o is above all attae.li.
"The undersigned hopes that the observations which helm re-
ceived orders to transmit to his eminence Cardinale-apron, may de-

. . .
tamine the Holy See to accede to the propositirms of his Majesty.
Be hu the honour to renew to his Eminence the assurances of his
highest consideration. (Signed) Cs AMI snows."
" Paris, April 3, 1808.*

Aft liapoe Cost Pant, of a late date, was yesterday
received in town, containing nothing of importance ;
but an American Captain, who left Amsterdam on
the 21st instant states, that a rumour was then pre-
valent in that city, that a French force, amounting
to 10,000 men, had been completely defeated in the
neighbourhood iof St. Andero.
Extract from Council-Minute, of 19th July, 1808.
—From this time, no licences hall be . granted for
importations from France, except cor grain, provisions
of all sorts, not being salted, (beef or pork), seeds,
articles used by dyers, rags, oak-bark, turpentine,
hides, skins, wax, raw materials and tallow.
Yesterday his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND gave
a turtle feast to the Spanish Deputies, together with
the greater part of our Cabinet Ministers and their
friends, at Burlington House.

his Office, in the Horse Guards, and gave audiences
to the Earl of VlEsrucaLANrs, Generals SHERRROOKA
upon his return from Sicily, Sir CHARLES GREEN
upon his retura from Malta, and a number of military
pricers.

Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of RictimoNio,
the Marquis of HUNTLSY, and a number of other of
the Nobility and Gentry, appeared at the Camp at
the Currago of Kildare, on Thursday last. The
whole line of cavalry and infantry, consisting of near
13,000 men, were on the field. The manoeuvres dis-
played a fine military spectacle in the different posi-
tions taken by the troops. Their Graces and suite
(fined with the Earl of WARanycrros on Wednesday,
and on Thursday with Lieutenant General Sir DA-
M) BAIRD, who has the command of the encamp-
ment, and they returned to the Lodge in the Park
