vernment charged by its decree of the }6th
to preheat to the Senate its intentions refpelting
the tellimony of national gratitude which the Se
nate is of opinion thould be given to the FILET
CoNsuL of the Republic; and-
Confidering that, under the circumftances in
which the Republic is placed, it is the duty of the
Confervative Senate to exert all the means which

to give that Lability to the Government which
alone multiplies the refources of a country, in
fpires confidence at home, etlahlilhes confideration
abroad, re.affures its allies, difconcerts its ferret
enemies, wards off the fcourges of war, fecures
the enjoyment of the bleffings of peace, and leaves
wifdom at leifure to execute every thing which the

Corlidering,moreover,that the Supreme Magif-
trate, who, after having fu often led the Repub-

Mean legions to vidory, delivered Italy, triumph.
ed in Europe, in Africa and Afia, and filled the
world with his renown, has rcfcued France from
the impending horrors of anarchy, broke the re•
volutionary fcythe, ditEpated factions, filenced civil
and religious broils, added to the bleffings of li•
berty thofe of good order and of fecurity, ad•
vanced the pmgrefs of learning, confoled the
heart of humanity, and pacified the Continent and
the Seas, may lay powerful claims to the gra•
titude of his fellow citizens, as well as to the ad-

miration of pollerity
That the vote of the Tribunate, brought up to
the Senate during the Sitting of yeflerday. may,
in the prefent irlance, be looked upon as the whit
of the French Nation :
That the Senate cannot more folcmnly exprefs
to the FIRST Cottsvt. the gratitude of the nation
than by giving him a ftriking. proof of the con&
1 &knee with which he has mfpired the French

People :

might arrell the general attention, and Fall in with
the wifhes of good Citizens, who wait with impa-
tience for the anfwer that is to be made to the Mef-
Cage of the Tribunate.—lt will be a confolation to
the lovers of the country to fee prolonged the pe-
riod that was to put a term to the functions of the
FIRST CONSUL. They will fondly flatter them-
felves that this prolongation of his Confulate
will be an aufpcions omen of the prolonga-
tion of the life of that extraordinary man, whole
deftiny and Rory are irrevocably united with the
deftinies and the glory of the French Republic.
'A reward fo moderate for him on whom it is fo
difficult to confer any thing worthy of him, will
turn entirely to the advantage of the great nAtion,
wltofe happinefs he is fo Iludions to promote ;
and under this point of view it cannot but be
acceptable to him."
N6P4RTE, FIRST CONSUL OF THE iterustie, TO
THE CON:ERVATIVE SENATE.
Senators—The honourable teftimony of your
efteem, expelled in your deliberations of the 18th,
(hall be for ever engraven on my heart. The fuf-
, (rages of the people have invefted me with the ft'.
preme Magiftracy. I fhould not look upon my-
, Pelf as alfured of the national confidence, if the ad
that was to continue me in that high office was
not again fandioned by the fame fuffrage. During
the three years that have jun elapfed, Fortune ha.
fmiled propitioufly on the Republic : but Fortune
is inconftant, and how many are thole on whom
fhe has lavillied her favours, that have lived a
few years ton long ! The intereft I feel for
my glory and my happinefs &mild lien to
have marked the term flinty public life at the mo..
ment that the peace of the world was proclaimed.
But every attention to the glory and the happinels
of a citizen (hould ceafe to operate when the in-
terelt of the hate or the public kindnefs calls upon
him.—You think that I owe a new facrifice to the
people—that facrifice I will make if the with of the
people commands what is authorifed by your vote.
