OF RUSSIA.

4t The Armies of the Allied Powers have occupied
the capital of France ; the Allied Sovereigns receive
favourably the wish of the French Nation.

" They declare, that if the conditions of peace
ought to contain stronger guarantees when the ques-
tion was to bind down the ambition of Bonaparte,
nr:►y be more favourable, when, by, a return to
:, 0.132 government, France herself offers the assur-
ance of this repose.
44 The Sovereigns proclaim in consequence, that
tlhey will no more treat with Napoleon 'Bonaparte,
nor with any of his family.

K That they respect the integrity of ancient France,
as it existed under its legitimate Kings : they may
even do inore; because they profess it as a principle,
that, for the happiness of Europe, France must be
great and strong:
That they will recognise and guarantee the
Constitution which France shall adopt. They, there-
fore, invite the Senate to name immediately a Provi
Government, which may provide for the wants
416 f the Administration, and prepare the Constitution
which shall suit the French people.
Gs The intentions which I have just expressed, are
common to all the Allied Powers.

" Park, March 31, three o'clock In the afternoon."
This piece opens the eyes of every body ; it chews
on whom war is made, and on whom it is not made.
There is only one enemy in the world.
On the Ist of April, Igl4, at liall.past three, the
Members of the Senate met in consequence of an ex-
traordinary cenvocation. His Serene Highness the
Prince of Benevento, Vice Grand Elector, President.
His Serene highness the Prince Vice-Elector, Pre-
sident, then spoke a%follows

" SENATORS !—Tlie letter which I have had the
honour of Ackrebsiog to each of you to inform you
of this extraordinary con‘ocat;on, acquaints you with
the object of it. I; is ir.tended to lay proposals before
you. This one word sufficiently points out the liberty
which each of you brings into this assembly. It gives
you the mears to give a generous flew (essor) to the
zentiments with which the s,,ul of each of you is filled
—the desire of 'aving your cuuntry, and the resolu-
tion of hastening to the assistance of a forsaken

" Senators! Circurhstance.s, however difficult they
may be, cannot be above the firm and enlightened
patriotism of all the Members of this Assembly.
You have doubtless all felt the necessity of a delibe-
rati•on which may'shut the dcr,r against all delay,
and which may not let a day pass without re.estab-
balling the action of the Administration, the first of
all w..nts for the formation of.
•a. Government, whose
Aguirity.foundetl an the rieqs.ittrs of the moment,
...
sannot but re-assure people's minds."
The Prince Viee-Elector having ceased speaking,
myrral proposals were made..by diliersnt Members.
The question being put, the Senate deciees :
“ 1. That there shall be * stablished a Provisional
Government, charged to provide for the wants of
the Administration, and to present to the Senate the

• . ,

plan of a Constitution which mail suit the French
People.
44 2. That the Government shall consist of five
Members, and then procuring to their nomination
the Senate, elects for Members of the Provisional
Government, M. Talleyrand, Prince of Benevento ;
Count de Beurnonville, Senator ; Count de Jaucoor,
Senator; Duke of allberg, Councillor of State ;
M. de-Montesquiou, ancient Member of the Conti.;
tuent Assembly.
44 They are proclaimed in this quality by the
Prince Vice Grand Elector, President."
His Serene Highness added-
-44 That as one of the first cares of the Provisional
Government ought to be the drawing up of the plan,
of a Constitution, the Members of the Government,
as soon as they shall employ themselves on this plan,
will give notice of it to all the Members of the Se-.
nate, who are invited to contribute by their wisdom
to the perfection of so important a work."
Some Senators demand that this act shall crntain
an account of the motives which have determined the
Senate, and rendered its meeting indispensable.
Other Members on the contrary demand that these
motives shall form part of the address, which will be
published by the Members of the Provisional Go-
vernment.

• The Senate adopts this last proposal.
A Member proposes to lay down a-s a principle,
and to charge the Members of the Provisional Go-
vernment to comprehend in substance in the address
to the French People :
" 1. That the Senate and Legislative Body.. are
declared integral parts of the intended Constitution,
subject to the modifications which shall he judged
necessary to ensure the liberty of the suffrages and
opinions. _ _ _

" 2. That the army, as well as the retired officers
and soldiers, shall retain the ranks, honours, and pen-
sions which they enjoy.
S. That the public debts shall be inviol.eble.

" 4. That the.sale of the national domains shall
be ititvocably

"5. That no Frenchman shall be ma-.le answer.
able for the public opinions which he may have ex-
pressed.
" 6. That the liberty of worship and of conscience
shall be maintained and proclaimed, as well as the
liberty of the press, subject to the legal repression of
the crimes which may arise from the abuse of that
liberty."
The different proposals, seconded by several Mem.
bens, were put to the vote by the Prince Vice Grand
Elector, President, and adopted by the Senate.
A Member demanded—

4 6 That, to reconcile the adoption of these propo-
sals with the confidence due to the Members of the
Provisional Government just establ;sred, the Ad-
dress to the French People which this Government
is to draw up, shall announce, that they are charged
to propose a Constitution, such, that it shall n:a in
any manner violate the principles which are the basis
of these propositions.”
The Senate adopts this amendment.
The Sen.ite adjourns till nine o'clock this evening,
.to hear and adopt the definitive publication of the
Proces-verbal, and to sign it individually.
Senator Count Barthelemy, Er President of the
Senate, is appointed Pietid'ent, in the absence of the

Provisional Government, shall be immediately made

time, have mot been able to attend the sitting, are to
he convoked for the sitting this evening. These de-
