PARIS, MARCH 22.

" meffmte which your Imperial and Royal Majclly
Las adds tied to the Senate, troth your Imperial camp of Warfaw, I
and the important t vents which y, u have deigned to communi-
cate, will form a new monument of your paternal folicitude for
the happiticfs of the French people. .
" The date of the treati.:s of Pofen, which your Troperil and
Royal fslajefty has cooly' to be trarfolitted to the Sent.tc, would
be alone Wife:km to fhtw, that aft-r the molt brilliant vii Stories
your Majeftv's tole object is to obtain an honourable peace fur I
nation., and of courfc one capable of hitpiring the belt hopes of
its permanence.
" Thee treaties. in conErmirg the independence of a brave
and gaierous nation. %..hole improve:nee te. indultry, manner., and
intereft ought to approx:mate it to France, augment and confoli•
date that grand confederation of the Rhine, which the adlual state
of 1 urope demanded, and the vett conceptions of your Majetty
were alone capable of forming, as the belt guaranty of its future
interefts. 'rhe confe,nmate witdom of your Imperial and Royal
Majefty has with facility perceived the diners of the Ottoman
Porte thole which threaten all Europe. If the Porte were to give
way to the efforts of the Ruffians, what barriers would )top the
deftrihnive torrems of barbarians, with which the North and Eaft
would inundate the Welt and the South? The footfteps of there
reythian favages would be marked with devaltation, blood, and
fire. Arc they not itill atteited by melancholy ruins they have
left in Ualy, in Switzerland, in Holland near the fields of the ever-
rnemorahle Aufterlitz, and in Poland, where fo many banks are
to be for ever rendered illuftrious by the (Outdid actions of the
armies under your Majrfty'e command ? Arts, fciences civiliza•
tion would perilh ; or if the ftrength of European inttitutions re-
fitted thole invafions perpetually renewed, what would be the fate
of the indultry of France, and particularly of that of the fouthern
p rts of France?
" The exiftence of that indußry, fo neeeltary to the profperity
of fo many millions of Frenchmen, is connected with the hide-
pendenec of eze throne of Conftantinlple. The provinces and
feu which lie near the 13041 torus cooftituce the centre, towards
which nature has thought proper to dirret the commerce of
the world. Let the Ruffians obtain poffeffion of them, and the
commerce of the world will &only be in their hands.- Happily,
Sire, the irrefiftible alcendancy of your lalajefty uas telieved the
anxiety of Europe.
" The rapid and unforefern eonqucft of Pruffia, and the ap-
pearance of the French eagles on the other fide of the banks of
the Viftula, have difeoncertecl the ambitious and perfidious pro-
yds of the Court of Peterfburgh, The Ruffians have found at
Pultufk, and at Goimyn, the conquerors of Aufterlitz. An extra.
ordinary combination in the courfc of the feafons, and vaft tracks
of moving land and overflown land have alone prefervcd their
phalanxes from deftruttion. And at the moment when we are
teddreffing to your imperial and Royal Majelty our wifttes and our
vows, new Motets of vitltory refound from the Pregel to the great
capital of the French empire.
a Yet, Sire, what do you require to induce you to lay down
your redoubtable arms ? The freedom of commerce, and the in-
dependence of your allies.
" Peace, Sire, is the tole objed of your dare., of your plans, of
your noble enterprifes. But, like the French people, you with fur
real and latting peace.
* Railed to the higheß pitch of powrr which vidory can con-
fer, you will not abandon to the chances of half a century of new
battles, the deftiny of France and or Europe, which the refute of '
your triumphs will be fhortly enabled to fecure for ever.
You cannot, Sire, fight any longer for tame ! You are in pof-
kiflon of more glory than any hero has ever acquired. But you
contend for a peace which may fecure the happincfs of the great
people, of that people which, by its courage, by its labours, by its
indoltry, by its love for you, fo well defery es the felicity for which
you every day helve fo many obftacles and perils. It will, Sire,
fhortiv behold you furrounded with innumerable trophies. It will
behold around your triumphal car your invincible legions holding
out to the admiring eyes of grateful France and Europe the olive
of peace, which you will have conquered.
4 With what tranfport will it hail your amp& pretence. And
with how much devotion, fidelity, and affedion will it repay all
that the gnat& of monarchs mall have done for its glory and prof-
perity.
a Already, Sire, we are delighted in confidering the arrival of
your auguil fpoufe in thi, great city, as the forerun:ter of fo happ y
a day tor all Frenchmen, and when the Senate will be all Jived to
preterit to your Majelly the tribute of its gratitude, its admtratiou,
and refped. (Sig ed) CANII-ACFRES,

HAGUE, MARCH 25.

The Prince of Wirtemberg, who was fent by the
Emperor Francis to Bonaparte, on an in:portant Mir.
fion, had returned to Vienna on the 2h. At that
period the general opinion in the Autirian capital
was, that a war with France was un the eve of
breaking out. It is laid, that /knit' is has taken the
field againil France, and that the ?►rchduke Charles
bad arrived at Nimburg, in Bohemia, to crqumand
the army which has ben a frembling on the Elbe and
in Moravia. So perfefl is the harmony lubfilling
between the Courts of St. Petertburgh and Vienna,
that the latter has permitted teveral fupernurnerary
Aufirian Offices to enter the Ruffian fervice, and
that Auftrian furgeons have alfo been fent to the Ruf-
fian field hofpitals. The French corps of obfervation,
which were lately Rationed on the frontiers of Bohe•
mia and Moravia, have been called to the Lower
Vißula. Ruffian light troops now occupy Olfrnlenka,
Pultnik, and otliet politions,lately held by the French
un the Narew.
