This morning a Mail arrived at the lost-office, in
Lombard-street, direct from Paris. The utmost pos-
sible tranquillity prevailed in that capital. The fol-
lowing extracts will convince our Readers that the
utmost harmony prevails among all ranks. Adhe-
sions to the new Government flow in daily. Sir C.
STkavART has left Paris on a special mission to Mar-
shal SOGLT and Lord WELLINGTON. BoNAOARTT
continues at Fontainbleau—bis excuse is a cutaneous
disorder, which requires the use of the bath. The.
Arch-Duchess of Austria, MARIA LOUISA, has notes
joined BONAPARTE : she is at Rambouillet with her
son, and is about to have an interview with her father,
the Emperor of AUSTRIA.
" PARIS, APRIL 14.
' " Monsieur has received to-day, at eight in the
evening, the Senate and the Legislative Body.
."The Senate was presented to his Royal High-
ness by the Prince of Benevento, its President, who
said—

Monseigneur,—The Senate brings to your Royal
Highness the offering of its most respectful submis-
sion. It has invited the return of your august House
to the Throne of France. Too well instructed by
the present and the past, it desires in common with
the nation, for ever to found the royal authority on a
just division of power, and on public liberty, wh'cli
are the only securities of the happiness and liberty of
,all.
Monseigneur—The Senate, in the moments of
public joy obliged to remain apparently more calm
in the limits of its duties, is not less a partaker in the
universal sentiments of the people. Your Royal
Highness will read in our hearts through the reserve
of our language : each of us, as a Frenchman, has
joined in those of feelings and profound emotions;
which have accompanied you ever since yOur en-
trance into the capital of your ancestors, and which
are still more lively under the roof of this palace, to
which hope and joy are at length returned with a
descendant of St. Louis and Henry IV.
For myself, my Lord, allow me to cougratulatt
myself on being the organ of the Senate, which has
chosen me to be the interpreter of its sentiments to
your Royal Highness. The Senate, knowing my
attachment to its Members, has been pleased to re-
serve fur me a delightful and honourable moment.—
The most delightful, in tact, are those in which we
approach your Royal Highness to renew to you the
expressions of our respect and our love.'
The following is the Decree of the Senate :

46 His Royal Highness answered:
GENTLENI!!.N—I have acquainted nits& with the
Constitutional Act which recalls to the Throne of
France the King, my august Brother. I have not
received from him the power to accept the Constitu-
tion ; but I know his sentiments and his principles,
and I do not fear to be disavowed by him, when
I assure you in his name that he will admit the
basis of it. The King, in declaring, that be would
stain the actual form of Government, has then
acknowledged, that the Monarchy ought to be ba-
lanced by a Representative Government, divided into
two houses—these two houses (chambres) are the
Senate and the House of the Deputies of the De-
partments ; that the taxes shall be freely granted by
the representatives of the nation, public and private
liberty secured, the freedom of the press respected,
under the restrictions necessary for public order and
tranquillity ; the liberty of worship guaranteed ; that
property shall be inviolable and sacred, the Ministers
responsible, liable to be accused and prosecuted by
the Representatives of the Nation.
That the Judges shall be for life, the Judicial
power independant ; no one being liable to be
tried by any other than his natural Judges ; that
the public debts shall be guaranteed, the pensions,
dignities, military honour, shall be preserved, as well
as the new and the ancient nobility, the Legion of
Honour maintained; the King will fix its insignia ;
that every Frenchman shall be capable ,of military
and civil employments, that no individual can be
called to account for his opinions and his votes, and
that the sale of national estates shall be irrevocable.
• These, Gentle Men, are, it seems to me, the bases
