ADDRESS OF THE SENATE TO NAPOLEON.

SIRE—Your Imperial and Royal Majesty has been
pleased to announce your approaching marriage with
the Archduchess MMIIA LOUISA, the daughter of
t 1 Emperor of AUSTRIA.
The Senate, Sire, feels most sensibly that joy which
all Frenchmen must experience on learning so memo-
rable an event. Every thing that interests the hap-
piness of your Majesty is dear to all Frenchmen.

The august Princess,•whom the wishes of the Peo-
ple of Austria are about to accompany, will arrive on
the banks of the Seine, suntunded by the tributes of
the grateful love of your people. Her presence in the
capital of the Grand Empire will be %happy sign of
the duration of that Continental peabe which is ce-
mented by the inuderation• of your character, and
which perfidious insinuations can no longer disturb.
How happy a destiny is that of Naint.uou and
MARIA LOVISA

The happiness of the World is in your lunch, Sire,
and your. happiness is to be confided to that young
Princess, whose brilliant qualities have fixed your regai4r.
Seated near you on the first of thrones, and placed
to high in your thoughts, she will fulfil the wish of the
French people, she will render you happy, she will
charm the Hero's hours of leisure ! May France be
indebted to her for YOUNG PRINCES, who, under the
paternal eyes of your Majesty, shall learn to render
themselves worthy of the great name which will be
transmitted to thim. By What gratitude will not the
French be bound to her Thlt will love her for the
love of yon—they will love her fcr all her virtues—they
will; above all, adore her for the felicity she will give
to you, and,.like posterity, they will confound in their
homage the greatest of Monarchs with her, who will
have to embellish .the most glorious of lives.—May
that precious life' be also the longest Such is the
most earnest desire of the French people. .

The Assembly decrees that this Address be pre-
sented to his Kijesty the Emperor smiting, by the
Senate in a body. .

REPLY OF NAPOLEON.

" Senators—l am touched with the sentiments you
have expressed. The Empress MARIA LOUISA will
be a tender mother to the French ; she will also be to
me a blessing. .1 am happy to have been called by
PROVIDENCI to reign over this affectionate and feeling
people, whom I have found, under all the circum-
stances of my life, so faithful andi&kind to me."
The following article, contained In a private letter,
is not unworthy of notice, as it exhibits an example of
one of the means by which BONAPARTE endeavours
to conciliate persons of all sects and opinions :

Mute, MARCH 10—His MAJESTY has appointed
M. CoLooNA (Grand Rabbi of the Central Consistory
of the Israelites) a Knight of the Iron Crown.

Our Readers have already been informed that the
late dispatches from France related to an exchange
of prisoners of the Medical Staff.—A civil message
has, we understand, been likewise received relative
to the conduct of an English Officer, whose name,
for the present, we shall forbear to mention, but
whom the French Government fancy they are com-

fence is this : that having been on his parole, btit•
being, on account of some irregularity, subjected to a
more rigorous confinement, he had repeatedly escaped
from prison, and had as repeatedly been retaken. The
last time he absconded, he joined two French deser-

has consented, that in the event of his being found
guilty, he shall be pardoned ; but that with the form
