The Orators of the Council of Stale, Counts
Itegnsuit de St. Jean d'Angely anti Deferinont,
Ministers of State, Members of the Council of
State, being introduced, the Priuce Arch. Cha-
ncellor troika as follows
GENTLEMCN,
" The Project which will, in this Sitting, be
tehmltted to the deliberaliun of the Senate, coo-
' tains an acrengenicnt which embraces our dearest
interests. It is dictated by that imperious voice
which apprises Susereighs and Nations, that to
secure the safety of States, we must listen to the
counsels of a wise, foresight, incessantly call to
mind the past, examine the present, and extend
our views to the future. It is under such high
considerations that, in these ever-memorable cir.
cumstances, his Majesty the Emperor has caused
all personal considerations to. disappear, and si-
lenCed all his private affections. The ruble' and
greeting attachment of her Majesty the Empress
is a glorious testimotry of her disiiiteremed affcc.
(ion for the Emperor, and secures to her au enter.
nal sight to the gratitude of the Nation.".
Count Rafe tau Pt. San sl'Aagely) submitted
a project of a Senate,: Consultant, dissolving the
marriage between the Emperor Napoleon amid the
Empress. Josephine. The Orator explained the
motives of this project, as follows :
" MT LORD—SENATORS,
" The solemn act fully set forth in the Senates
Consultant now read, contains all its motives.
What could we add -?...What words could we ad-
dress to the Senate of France, but would be far
below the affecting sounds received from the mouth
I of these two august consorts, of whom your deli.
beration will consummate the generous resolu-
tions ? Their heath have coincided in making
thc nobltst sacrifices to the greatest interests—
they have coincided to make policy of sentiment
speek language the must true—lime most persua-
sive—the most adapted to move *ad to eion.
since. As foreigners and as consorts the Eat-
, peror and Empress have done all--,there only
remains fur us to love, to bless, and to admire
I them. It is henceforth for the 'French nation to
make themselves heard—their memory is as faithful
as their hearts—they will unite in tli6r grateful
thoughts the hope of the future with the remein.
brume of the past, and never will Monarchs have
received more respect, admiration, gratitude, and
love, than Napoleon, in insmolating the snort
sacred of his affections to the wants of his sub-
jects; than Josephine in sacrificing her tenderness
for the best of husbands—through devotion for
the hest of Kings—through attachment to the best
of Nations ; accept, Gentlemen, in the name of
all France, iti the sight of astonished Europe, this
sacrifice, the
...,,,reatest ever made on earth ; and
full of the profound emotion which you feel, has-
ten to carry to the foot of the Throne, in the tri-
bute of your sentiments, of the sentiments of all
Frenchmen, the only Prince that can he worthy
of the fortitude of our Sovereign, the only conso-
lation that can be worthy of their hearts."'
The Prince Viceroy spoke as follows :
66 PRINCE, SENATORS-4g You have heard the
project of a S.eastitso. Consultum submitted to
your deliberation : my duty, under these
circumstances, to manifest•the sentiments by which
my family are animated: , My mother, my sister),
and myself, owe all to the Emperor; he has been]
to us a father ; he will find in us, at ail times,
devoted children and obedient subjects. It is
portaut to the happiness of France, that the
j',:ttg r of
.tlsc Foertb J3ynesty_sloLitin his old.:
age, he surrounded bY direct descendants, who
may prove a security to all and a pledge of the
glory of our country. When my mother was crown-
ed before the whole nation, by the hapai of her
august consort, she contracted an obligation to sa-
crifice all her affections to the interests of France.
She has fnlfilled with fortitudetsitibleeiss,andalig.,
nity this first of ditties ; her seal Kati often . been
moved at beholding exposed to painful struggles,
the heart of a man, accustomed to Conquer fortune
and advance with a firm Men to the accomplish.
meet of his great designs. The tears vtltich this
resolution has cost the Emperiit soffice for the
honour a /a glaire of my muther. In the situation
she will now till, she will be nersttanger, by her
wishes to the feelings of the new prosperities which
await us, with a satisfaction mingled with pride,
that she will behold the happiness her sacrifices
will produce to her country, to her Emperor."
This speech Concluded, Count Garnier, anneal
president, proposed to refer the Senates Consult.
urn to a special committee of nine members to re.
port thereon during the sitting.—A,grced to. The
Prince Arch.Chancellur, president, then uemed,

the hearts of all Frenchmen. This day more than
ever has the Emperor proved, that he only wishes
to reign to serve his subjects ; the Empress has

6 4 Your Majesty, Sire, could not give a greater
proof of the absolute devotion to the duties which

the most lively manner, the necessity of expressing
to you how much it is penetrated with all the great
soul of your Majesty, experiences the most ex-
tcsasive power, the most illustrious glory, the ad.

Satan it area at first thought ; they ar.: bringing is

The prisoners already arrived have been con.
yertl in the Itetiro. The Retina being soon full,
'A part of them were obliged to be deposited in a
large building, intended by Charles 111. for a ea.
biota of national history, and the remainder in the
Circus erected for bull-fights. The march of the
columns-was opened by the three General Officers
who had been taken, and by a corps of 7 or OrYi
Officers. without arms, who, from thvir appear-
ance, would with difficulty have been recognized
to be such, if they bad not been pointad out by
oar soldiers who escorted them. Our troops hare
returned fur the most part covered with excellent
English cloaks, which the English Government
had sent to the Junta of Seville to cause to be dis.
tributed.

It will be difiesilt to imagine where General
Wellesley was while these men were fighting O.
the account of King George. The Nobk lint
pretended to accompany, on his mission to Cadiz,
the Marquis Wellesley, his brother, who was /
turning to England ; but this, it is to•r evideut,
was only a pretest, Mill that the journey was, in
reality, only intended fur reconnoitrin; the city

Nov, 27. —lt was one nara:d Areiiaga, for.
merty a Spanish Colonel, w ho ron►mauded in chief
the army of the Rebels in the battle of Ocana. It
appears that he had no desire to expose himself,
though before he left Serino he tool an oath to
the Junta to lead his ariny directly to Madrid.

stead of being on the field of battle, he had ta.kilt
his station from the beginning of the action on the
top or the steeple of Ocana, to observe every thing
without risk. As soon as he saw his troops
routed, he descended precipitately., leaped on a
'Norse which- Waited for hint at the gate of the

o'hurch, and never stopped till he came to '
'rembleque, where he arrived by three in the
afternoon. As he passed through his
banded troops full gallop, •he only cried out,
We are lost!" if deficient in ability and bra.
very he sheered great prudence. Had he been son►c
moments later he would have been taken by Gen.
Dessoiles, who carried the village of Ocan4 by as..
sault. To-morrow 50 pieces 51 catintip, 40,000
muskets, and the baggage taken rum the enemy,
will arrive here. The Corregidor of Madrid has
published an invitation to the inhabitants to fur.
nish the prisoners with clothes and shoes, of
which some of them have need for their journey
to France. He has assigned the church of St.
Michael tur the reception of these donations. A
great number of the prisoners have requested to he
pe-mitted to serve in the troops of the King, and
to take the oath of fidelity to his Majesty.

taken at Ocana are already on the road to France.

the (Minister of Marine, has addressed to big men.
trymen a Ion; letter, is which he invites theta, in

submission, tkis calamities which aro rest!) to pour
upon Spain.

VELLADOLIO, Nov. 30.—General Kellerman,
who commands the reserve of the army of Sp;in,
attacked the enemy, who endeavoured to pene-
trate through the provinces of Leon and Mn.
drill, in his position• of Alba de Tonnes. AI.
though the said General had no other cavalry,
than that of his own cnrps, and of the 6th divi-
sion, ho charged the Spanish with uncommon
gallantry, killed 3000 men, took le pieces of
ordnanc:, six stands of colours, and made a great
number of prisoners. General Kellerman is still
pursuing the enemy, and, we trust, that but few
of the Spaniards will escape.
This intelligent* has reached us in an official
shape. _ _

iiisroxsz, Nov. 25.--Thebittle of °cams has
spread the utmost consternation among the inset'_
gouts, and enraged them so much against the Cog-
lish because they did not make any diversion in
their favour ; the Junta of Seville has declared to
Lord Wellington, that it is impossible further to
subsist the English army, which, without being of
the least use to the common cause, consumes thrco
times the provisions required fur all the Spanish
armies. Lord 'AVelliugtou has, in consequence of
this declaration, altered his movements, and is
novibmarching to Portugal, instead of Alcatitara.
It is Supposed that his army will never more re-
cross the frontiers of that country. The road of
Madrid too has been cleared of the robbers by
whom it was infested., and the Mails now arriw
without the least obstruction, General Loison't;

corps stretches as far as Salamanca. The aruiv of

The Crisis which we have so long anticipated—

peace eats prevent such interdiction being carried ;

the Lacedensonions is, in these days of Es pedi.
