APRIL. S.

- .
Yesterday (Sunday), the 4th April, the Empress
received a deputation from the Senate, composed of
30 Senators, when the President of the Senate pre-
sented to her Majesty- the following Address :
MAIMPA-..-iiiS Majesty, on the eve of setting
out to command his armies, has confided to yot.r
Imperial Majesty and Queen, the Regency of h
Empire. He could not have granted to his people a
greater consolation in his absenoe.
66 The Senate, Madam, experiences a lively s:itis-
faction in thinking it shall see its walls adorned wall
all the brilliant virtues with which your Majesty Liu-
; bellishes the throne. It:offers you the tribute of its
respect and its devotion. It adds, Madam,- that of its
inviolable fidelity to the greatest of Monarchs and
his Dynasty, as the homage the most dear to your
Majesty's heart, and the most worthy of the Gland
Daughter of Blanche and Maria Theresa, and the
Mother of the King of Rome, and of the august
Spcuse cf Napoleon."
The Empress replied in these terms :
GlrNll.k.MEN—The Emperor, my august and
well-beloved husband, knows what love and affection
my heart contains for France. The proof of devo-
tion which the nation daily gives us, increase thei
good opinion which I had of the character and gran-
deur of our nation.

" My heart is much oppressed at seeing that happy
peace distant which alone can render me content.—
The Emperor is sensibly afflicted at the numerous
sacriaces which he is obliged to demand of his
people ;—but since the enemy, in place of giving
peace to the woild, v, ill impose shameful couaitions
upon us, and every where preaches civil. war, treatni.
and disobedience, it is necessary the Emperor shouli
have recourse to his ,always victorious arms, to con.
found his enemies, and save civilised Europe and its
Sovereigns from the anarchy with which they are
threatened. •

44 I am truly affected with the sentiments whick
you express in the names of the Senate.'!
