PROCEIDINGS OS THE CONSOLTA EXTRAORDINARY
Of THE CISALPINS 111SPUBLIC AT LYONS.
The Moniteur of the 3111 tilt. contains a very
long detail under the title of Prete: Verbal of
the proceedings of the Confulta of the Cifalpine
Republic now airembled at Lyons." It begins by
Rating that the .Cifalpine Republic, defirous of
obtaining a definitive organization, made appli-
cation for this purpofe to the FIRST CONSUL, and
requefted from the band who had founded it in
the year 6, and reflored it two years after, that
fupport which it had need of in order to. conili•
cute itfelf into a body politic. The FIRST Coxsus.,
in confequence of the with exprefred to him,
was anxious to obtain all the information which
the Cifalpines themfelves might have concerning
the interefts of their country ; and to fecond the
benevolent views of the nest CONSUL, as well
as to give him the defired information, an
extraordinary Confulta of 450 Members, chofen
from the moft refpetlable Citizens of the Cifalpine
Republic, was convoked by its Government.—
Lyons was fixed upon as the place of fitting, as
being the molt convenient for that Republic, as
well as the FIRST CONSUL, and being diftinguithed
by its numerous relations with the Northern parts
of Italy.
The Minifter of Foreign Relations repaired to,
Lyons on the 7th of Nivofe, (Dec. 28.) and C.
MARS SCA L C NI, Deputy of the Cifalpine Republic
to the French Government, becoming in that qua-
lity the natural medium of the communications
between the Minifter and the Cifalpine Notables,
prefented to him, in fucceflion, thofe of the Mi-
lanefe, of the three Ecclefiallical legations of the
countries detached from the State of Venice, of
the ci•devant Modenefe, the Novarefe, and the
Valteline.

Thefe partial conferences were attended with
the advantage of efiablifhing a more intimate re-
lation between the Minifter and the Notables of
each of the territorial divifions of the Cifalpine
Republic.
A Committee of Thirty Members was charged
by the Confulta, united for the firft time in a Ge-
neral Affembly, to form double Lifts of Candi-
dates to fill the different places, in order that they
might indicate to the FIRST Consut. thofe men
recommended to them by the public opinion.
The Committee, after being employed on this
bufinefs entrufted to it, delivered in to the General
Atlembly a report, which concludes in the follow-
ing manner :
ai It was therefore to place the dignity of the
Government beyond the influence of foreign troops,
and to add new fplendour and dignity to the
commencement of tbe Cifalpine, that the Commif-
fion thought it elkntial to the happinefs of this
Republic, that during the firft moments, it fhould
have a fupport that might raife it above every
other in ftrength and elevation.
" From motives of fuch importance, the Com-
mitfion thought it their duty to conclude, that if,
on the one hand, the Extraordinary Confulta
ought to form a with that the Conflitution should
be proclaimed, and that the Colleges, the Legifia-
tine, and other Authorities fhould-be immediately
chofen froM the men they have thought molt
worthy of their afteern, in order that an end may
be at length put to the Provifional Government,
it ought ardently to defire, on the other, that Ge-
neral BONAPARTE will honour the Cifalpine, by
retaining the Supreme Magiftracy ; and, not dif-
daining,amidft the direelion of the affairs of France,
to be the Diredlor of our Government, during fych
time as hefhall think neceffary to bring to perfell
uniformity the different parts of our country, and
to make the Cifalpine Republic be acknowledged
by all the powers of Europe."
The with of the Committee became the unani-
mous opinion of the extraordinary Confulta in their
general Affembly on the sth of Pluviofe, (Jan.
35th.) It decreed by acclatnation,.and amidft
the loudett applaufes, that the report of the Com-
mince which it had heard should be prefented to
the FIRST Coming., as the faithful exprelfion of
the fentiments and opinions of the extraordinary
Confulta.

The refult of this deliberation having been pre-
rented to the Ft LSI' CONS L,he declared, that from
all the information he had been able to collea, the
Rate of things required a fpeedy organization ;
that he could entruft the interior part, without en-
dangering the interells and bappinefs of the Re-
public, to thole Citizens whom the public opinion
had pointed out as bet fitted for the different con-
funetions: but that at the fame time the
powerful motives expreifed in the report uniting
to prove, that in the prefent fituation of the Cita'.
pine, it would be almoft impoifible for it to rife by
its own proper means to that degree of confif-
tence and force to which it is called among the
Powers of Europe, he would not diffemble the
imperious neceffity of retaining the fupreme di-
reEtion of affairs till the Cifalptne (hould find itfelf
in a condition to fupport by itfelf its independence.
He announced that the next day ( Jan. 26.1 'he
wonldrepair :othe ExtraordinaryConfulta, formed
into a General Affembly. to proclaim the confti-
tution, and choofe the Members 'defined to enter
into the fbrmation of the conftituted authorities.
At two o'clock the FIRST CONSUL repaired to
the fitting, accompanied by the Minifteri of the
interior and of foreign relations, Citizens PETIRT,
CRS TIIT, NAJAC, and BOURRIENNI, Counfcllors of
State, the Generals and Prefefts affembled at
Lyons, and the principal Authorities of that Cnm-
mune.

• The FIRST CONSUL, after being met by a nu-
merous deputation of Cifalpines, was received• in
in the Hall amidft the greateft applaufes. He
placed himfelf on an eftrade,and delivered the fol-
lowing fpeech
The Cifalpine Republic, acknowledged fence
the Treaty of Campo Formic, has already expe-
rienced many viciffitudes. The firft efforts made
to ellablith it were attended with bad fuccefs. In-
vaded afterwards by the armies of the enemy, its
exillence appeared no longer probable, when the
French people expelled, for the fecond time by the
force of arms, the enemy from your tenitory:--
Since •that time every attempt has been made
to difinember you. The protation of France

prevailed—yon were acknowledged at Lunevilk.
—lncreafed by a fifth part, you exill more
powerful, more confolidated,' and with greater
hopes ! Compofed of fix cliff:sant nations, you
are going to be united under the Government,
of a Conilitution better adapted than any other
to your manners and lunation. 1 have alrem-
bled you at Lyons, arnundttie, as the principal
Citizens of the Cifalpine. You have iven me I
every information neceflary for fulfilling t'he auguti
talk impofed on me by my duty as Full Magiltrate
of the French People, and as the man who has I
molt contributed to your creation. The choic.e. I
have made for filling up your Full Magif-
tracies has been uninfluenced by every idea of
party and fpirit of locality. In regard to
that of the Prefident, I have not found any
one among you who has lufficient right in the
public opinion, who is fufficiently independent
of the fpirit of locality, or who has render-
ed fufficient fervices to his country, to be able
to entrua it to him. The proces verbal which you
have tranfmitted to me, by your Committee of
Thirty, in which are analyfed, with as much truth
as precifion, the external and internal circunsitances
in which your country now is, have filled me with
the livelieft fenfations.—l adhere to your with.—
I shall Hill retain, as long as circumftances may
require, the fupreme dire'lion of your affairs.—
In the midit of the continual meditations which
the poll in which I On placed require, every
thing that relates to you, or that .can confolidate
your exiftEnce and your profperity, will not be
foreign to the deareft affections of my foul.—As
yet you hake only particular laws, in future you
mull have general laws.—Your people have only
local habits, they mull airtime national habits—ln
the laft place you have no armies; the powers
which may become your enemies have powerful
ones; but you have what may produce them, a
numerous population, fertile fields, and the es-,
ample which has been given under every cicada
circumftancc, by the firft people in Europe."
The fpeech of the Fiasr Cousui, interrupted
by loud applaufes, was followed by reading the
Conflitution. At the moment when the title was
read, a general movement of the Affembly indi-
cated the with •of fubftituting for the name of the
Cifalpine Republic that of the Italian Republic,
and the Ftasr Consul. feemed to acquiefce in this
general defire.
