TRIBUNATE, to FLOREA L, APRIL 30.

SITTING EITRAO/IDINAILT OF TUN TRINIINATI•
FARE DI L'Auot, Prefident.—After the minutes
of the lalt fitting had been read, and approved. the
Prefident addreffed the affembly as follows: " On the
sad of this mopth our Colle.tgue. Cults, laid on the
able a motion of order, in which he demanded. tn.
That the Govetnment of the Republic (hall be con-
fided to an Emperor; sd. That the Empire (hall be
hereditary in the family of NaroLsos Bo AAAAA r
now:Firft Conful ; 3d. That fuch of our inftitutiuns
as are only traced out, fhall be definitively fuppreffed."
Cues • then Gad." Citizens Colleagues, I appear in
this affetnbly to call your attention to weighty ob-
kat in which the nation is highly interelled. In a
matter of Co much importance. it is neceffary that
you Osould grant me that attention and indulgence
which the parity of my patrintifm gives me reafun
to hope : for the fuccefs and duration of every political
fyllem depends on the liability of the Government,

which forms as it were the centre of it where every
thing terminates. This principle is incontellible for
all times and for all circumftances, but its application
becomes a neeeffity Rill more inconteftible, when in
eonfequence of great changes having produced, and
developed, an order of things which 6zes tinder new
points of view the deftiny of the people. it can be
evidently proved that thefe political changes are lane-
"toned for ages, and the maintenance of the grand
Milks they have left behind them are leaned for ever,
by bringing back and re-eftablithing. in a certain au-
thentic hereditary courfe of fucceffion, the Govern-
ment incorporated with thefe great refults, and which
is connerfted in as intimate a manner with them as the
trunk of a tree is with its roots."
The Speaker then called the attention of the tri-
bunes to the memorable epoch of the revolution.
when the Frencli, according to his blafphernous ex-
preffron, 44 with an unanimous will. and a voice as
powerful as that of the CRINITO/ the firft day of the
staiffence of the univerfe, exclaimed, let equality be
eftablifhed, let privileges difappear. and let the nation

be what it ought to be !" ie then cook a view of
the Government of Charlemagne, and the abufes in-
troduced into France after that glorious epoch, when
ass of the naafi powerful families of the Feudal
fylleta was called to the fovereignty. He then ad-
verted to the year 174, when the French people, he
raid, committed the great fault of leaving the
fu-
preme power in the hands of a family etrentially
feudal. Louts XVI. King of France, would never
eondefeend to be King of the French. Being born
a Sovereign, he could never confect to become a
Magiltrate. Having then made tome obfervations
on the Conftituent Afferably, the Conftitution of
1794 and the Bate of things fince that period, he
*braved, that the happy fituation of the French
people, who were now in the full pollitlion of all the
rights which were the Pole objet of the revolution
in .789, was difturbed only by uncertainty in re•
Bard to the future. " The enemies of oar coup.
try." Paid he, " are alarmed at our prorperity, as
they are at nor glory. Thcir plots base been
sisleiplied, and one might fay. that inflead of a

wok nation, they had to combat only one man.
r they hare attempted to Itrike, in order to effeet
hj ikfttoaioo, being well atfured that France, in
oteurniog for the kfs it would that day fullain, for
the great man who organized it, and the chief by
whom it is governed, divided by ambitions rivals

and torn by parties, would link amidst the aorms
itt lode againa it in every dire Rion. What fecurity
an we give it agaiaa the tear of fo many misfor-

times ? What remedies can we oppnfe to Co many
evils ? Opinion ; the armies, and the whole people
bare pronounced it. Hereditary furceGion in a fa-
tuity rendered illuflrious by the revolution, confrcrated
by equality and liberty, in a family of a chief whir
was the firft foldier of the Republic before he became
the Firß Magiftrate ; a Chief who would have been
eminently diiiinguillied by his civil qualities, even
bad he not filled the whole world with the fame of
his arms and the fplendour ,of his •kgnries. Here
(continued be) we have the inappreciable advantage
of finding at the head of the nation the Chief of an
anguß family proper to form the firft link of the new
dyna(ly ; an eternal barrier will thus be oppofed to
the return of fattion, and the French peop!e will be
certain of prcferving their dignity, their indepen.
dense, and their territory. Lee us ballets then, my
colleagues,to demand that the Chief Magill►acy may
be niade hereditary ; for, in v.iticg a Chief to be he
reditsiy, as PLINY (Aid to Tae) +r, we prevent die,
return of a matter. But at the fame time let us give

2 grand 114fIle to a great puwet ; let us procure to

11 FLOIEAL, MAY 1.

EXTIAOIDIMAIT SITTING.—An Extraordinary
crowd of Whims this day, as yelterday, filled the
Tribunes, and the interior of the Hall. The Sitting
was opened at two o'clock. The Pref►dent intimated
that Carnot being the only Tribune, whole name was
inftribed againft the motion, liberty of addreffing the
Tribunate was afforded him.

Cmtwor mounted the Tribune.. He fet out with
declaring, that being to !peak againft the motion of
Cures, he lhould endeavour to preferve the fame mo-
deration in delivering his opinion, which had been
exhibited by the Tribunes who had fpoken in favour
of the motion. He added, that he referred thofe
who willed to put a bad contlrudion on his fend-
menu to the rigid examination of his condo& fence
the commencement of the Revolution. He took up
the queftion of conferring on Bonaparte the dignity
of Emperor for life, and making it hereditary in his
family. He Aced, if it was to grant the Fill Con-
ful a reward for his fervices to offer him the facrifice
of liberty ? He afked, whether it was not to deftroy
Bonaparte's own work to make France his private
patrimony ? I voted againft the Confulate for life:
continued the orator, and I will not this day follow
a different courfe. I will be confiftent with myfelf;
but the moment that the order of things which is
propofed is eftablifhed, I will be the firft to con-
form to it, and to field to the new authority proofs
of my deference. May all the members of the com-
munity follow the fame example !—The Orator then
wention to the examination of the form of government
propofed to be eftabliftted. He cited a number of
examples from the hiflory of Rome, and drew as an
inference from them, that a government by one indi
vidual was not in the (mallet degree a fure pledge of
its lability or its tranquillity. He applied the fame
inference to the hiftory of France, where inteline com-
motion% and civil dig-cords fo often exiled wider the
government of princes, weak or unworthy of govern.
ing. After the peace of Amiens, continued Carnot,
Bonaparte had the choice between a Republic or a
Monarchy ; but he had (worn to defend the former,
and to refpee the wither of France, which had made
him their guardian. Now it was propofed to mate
of that power a property, of which, at prefent, only
the Adminilltation is pottered. The Roman: were
moil jealous of their liberty, and Camillus Fab'us
and Cineinnatus only rived the country becaafe
they relinquifhed the power which had been con-
fided to them after they had laved their country.
But the liberty of Rome perifhed as foon as Cztar
willed to ufurp abfolute power. Carnot cited the
example of the United States. It was referved
for the New World to (Lew to the Old the prac-
ticability of a nation's enjoying liberty, and the
riling profperity of the people. The dellinies to
which they appeared to be called left no doubt re-
maining of the exiftence of that truth. After &feu&
ling a vat iety of general principles,Carnot made force
particular obfervations. Will (laid he) the opinion
of the public funCtionaries be the free with of the
whole nation ? Will there not be inconveniencies at-
teuding the expreffion of an oppofite fentiment ? Is
the liberty of the profs fo much reflrained and de-
graded that it will be impollible to make, in the pub-
lic prints, the muff refpeaful remonfirances again('
the propofed arrangement ? The Orator confidered
the queftion in another point of view. He afked, if
the etpulfion of the Bourbons at all involved the ne-
ecßity a new dynaly ;if the ettabliflunent of that
dynaßy would not place obilacles in the way of a
general peace; if it would be recognized by foreign
powers. and if in c.afe of a refulal to recognize it arms
would necclfarily be retorted to, and fur an empty
tide the fecurity of the French n4tion would net,
perhaps, be endangered ? This is not the only means
which the exiling Government has of c-nfilidating
ittelf. The means of chic conf..lidelon confiAs in
adherence to plaice. Far he it from me here to
m..ke any particular app:lcation, or to tall any
blame on the Pptratiohi GovernmLnt. St:cll a

what were the propofitions contained in the look
draught of the Conti it ue ntA trembly ,and he found their
completion in the form of Government which it was
now propofed to eftablifh. He fupported the motion.
ARNOULD began in the following terms the fpeech
which he alto delivered in favour of the motion :
What is this fatality which has feized our colleague,
which renders him the paflive witnef of the outrages
of the Committees of Public Safety, which carries him
to the DireElory, and cannot furnilh him with the
means of doing good to the people which on the tilt h
Frutidor renders him the viaim of the events of that
day, and does not permit him to perceive the (hare
which Pichegru then bad in the confpiracy formed
againft France ?

Albifon, Grolier, Chabot (de l'Allier) Deletre and
Challand, feverally fpoke in favour of the motion.
Cullom No zits refuted the opinion of Carnot. Hit
fpeech will be publifhed at the end of the one he de-
livered yefterday.

The Tribunate ordered fix copies of the opinion of
the Orators to be printed.

ZZZZZ ORDINARY SITTING, 12 PLORIAL, ISAT 2.

The Order of the Day was rolled for the continua-
tion of the dircuffion on the motion of Curiee.—Co as-
mow contended that the intention of the French
had always been to ellablint a monarchical form of
Government. The with formed in 1789 was now to
be fulfilled, and no perfon than Bonavarra could
better fulfil this with, which will cotakitute the hap.
pinch of France and our potlerity. He voted for the
motion, and fix copies of his fpeech were ordered to
be printed.

FERREE formed the with diaated to him by his
lineerity and his cnnfcience. He added a few words
to corroborate what had been Paid, to prove how well
Bosh', sere was worthy the dignity to which the
French people called him. He particularly direaed
his obfervations to thew what a powerful guaran-
tee potterity would pollits in the hereditary fue-
ceßion propofed. The lateß polterity of the head of
the Government, Paid he. will feet in the hillory of
Bo AAAAAA e the example which they ought to follow.
They will refpea his glory, and never thall our poi-
rarity have reafon to reproach us for the with which
we form this day.—The (peach was ordered to be
printed.

Cart arr. and Dcr.►rraaa joined their wifhes to that
of their colleagues. This is not the time, faiti Del
pierce, when the people were the property of Kings.
The int eras of both are now common. Their reptile,
their (lability, and their happinefs, are henceforth
inseparable.

FAVA RD.—I know that the Firft Conful, the augnfl
head of the Government, has the wifhes of the French
people. The pens of the eloquent are employed in
celebrating his glory ; and polterity, which is the
judge of great men, will only re-echo the language
of the age in which he lived. I know the place
which be occupies in their hearts; I know, if I can
judge by myfelf, the devotion which he merits, and
with which he has iofpired you. I know all the right
which his eminent fervices give him to the dignity of
Emperor, and to have it made hereditary in his fa.
roily. But let us examine abilraftedly, from al
perfoaal feelings of gratitude and love, if the unity
and hereditary fucceffirm of the Chief Confol be
conlifteat with the Government of France. Different
States have a right to that form of Government
which they enjoy, according to principles invariable
as that nature from which they originate. In vain
political maladies area and fufpend thole principles
for a moment. The crifis cures, and nature refumes
her rights. It is the nature of things, that a country
of vaft event, whofe fecurity is not guaranteed by
its phyfical porition, and whole relations with its
neighbours inceftsntly menace its tranquillity, ought
to be governed by one bead. Rome, at its birth,
had Kings, becaufe the States which furrounded
were governed by Kings. Rome, after conquering
her neighbours, expelled the Kings and created Con-
fuls. When her power had gone beyond the limits
of her territories, when fhe had to combat nations
far removed from the centre of her dominions, even
the excefflve love of liberty could not prevent the
ruin of the Republic, and Emperors were elevated
to the throne. Happy would have been that great
nation if the fita of their Emperors had, as he had
it in his puierr, made the Government hereditary in
his fArn::r. The fcenes which covered the throne with
blood—the civil wars which def,ilated that 'aft Em-
pire, and i recipitated its downfall, would not have
fut'ied the rage of the hi aory of theft; maarrs rf the
V,(ll' E one great error In to dreadful ah.ifea.

Fiance mull have been Jefiroyed, if the geniot o.
Bonaparte had not created the Cnnfulfhip, to pre-
• cede fur a few !ears the creatica of the Ins, trial

dignity. He ia called to this elevated poft by t:.:
unanimous with, and this with is the firli fentimert
which ought to give rife to military fervices. He
had, as Conful, the power of performing raft fer•
vices, and you have feen that he has ufed it with a
degree of fuccefs of which no example is afforded in
the lutiory of the world. This is enough for his own
'glory, but it is not enough for the happinefs of
France. It is in the nature of things, that if em.
pires profpee under a great man, the moment which
deprives them of his fervices menaces them with lonic
dreadful explofion, if the fame moment does not
fubßitnte in his place him who is to be his fucceffor.
It is then that ambition becomes enflamed, and long
bafore ambition prepares in feeret the means of fup.
planting rivals. Long difputes, fucceeded by civil
wars, agitate the minds of men, difturb for ages the
union of citizens, and the people are often fo unfor-
tunate as not to fee who is the moft worthy among
the rival candidates to receive the fceptre of which
death has bereaved the objeet of their regret. What
then can prevent there difafters ? A conftitutional
law which fixes the line of tucceffion, and which
gives to the family of the Chief the new dynally.—
This is the objea of the motion under difcuffion, and
I affent to it, perfuaded that if the empire is the
price of the virtues of the great man who is called
to the Imperial dignity, the fucceflion to it by the
family guarantees to France ages of glory and of
repots.

Corral endeavoured to prove that the motion was
one founded on utility, that it was falutary and pa.
triotie. He alto replied to the arguments ufed yet•
terday by Caroot.

Savors Rouas Paid, abfolute monarchy is the
molt degrading of fyaems—monarchy conneaed with
the representative fyftem conciliated political and
civil liberty. In the excel ve liege of civilization to
which we are arrived, there can be no liability in the
government if it is arbitrary, bin if it i► founded on
law, it is incorruptible. Frederic raid that laws could
not fucceed except by the prefervation of a proper
equilibrium betwixt the power of the government and
the liberty of the people. What Frederic thought
Napoleon is about to execute. I vote for the motion
of order, which goes to unite hereditary power to
the reprefentative government.

Bs • u Van obtained leave to make a motion of or.
der. the objea of which was—l. To declare that the
dircuffion is doted-3(11y, To decide that the Repor.
ter of the Commiffion than be authorifed to-morrow

Both thcfe motions were agreed to.
