THE STATESMAN.

The Diet believes that it has answered, by these
elrlubations, the expectations of their Excellencies
the Ministers, at the same time that it shows its con-
fidence io the.j ustice nd magnanimity of the Monarchs
who have bum lately taken such an interest in the fate
of this country, and thus acquire fresh claim, to its
gratitude.
If theme is now any thing to lie done according to
the principles above explained, in older to fix in a
more precise manner the political relations of the
Coufederaliou with the Allied Powers, during the
continuance of the present war, amend, at the same
time, to aitree on the conditions of its system of de-
fence, the Diet is ready to bear these .overtures : it
Iris commissioned Messrs. the Burgomaster Wyss,
the Aroyor :Vierlineu, and the Burgomaster Wei-
land, to enter into a negotiation with Messrs. the
Ministers upon these two points, which are essen-
tially inseparable. But in every case the right is
reserved to the Cantons to take a definitive resolu-
tion on this head, and to give these arrangements
legal validity by constitutionally colifirming them.

No Member having obtained the absolute majority,
a fresh scru►iny took place,.

There was a tumult at Naples on the 11th of May;
the National Guard, aided by the English troops,
quelled it.

SCITAITHAU,CN! MkY `27.—ln the night of the
2itla instant, Prince Tidleyrand arrived here with.
out any suite, and continued jeorney to Zurich.
The bustle upon our frontiers st•ents w increase
daily.

A Hamburgh Mail is arrived. The news from
Germany informs us that the Allied Sovereigns are
repairing with all speed to the armies. The inferior
Princes are still represented as animated with fully as
strong a desire to put down BONAPARTE as is express-
ed on the part of the great ones. The Bavarians, who
fought so stoutly under NAPOLEON in his invasion of
Russia, seem to be the farthest in advance towards the
French frontier on the left bank of the Rhine, and
we are told, douht it though we may, that the friend-
ship between Bavaria and Austria never was so strong
and intimate as it is now.

LONDON:

THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1815.

fly the reports received from Prince WREN:, say
the accounts•of the 2.ith of May, from Munich, the
Bavarian troops were almost all, on the left bank of
the Rhine, and advanced up to the very frontiers of
France, seeming to direct their particular atten-
tion to the rvighbouthood of Saarbruck, where the
French are stated to have lately received considerable
•reinforcemements. A considerable part of the Rus-
sian forces which are advancing, is supposed to be
destined to the same quarter. A part of the garri-
son of Mentz has also proceeded to that side, so that,
says the German account, there is every security
against any hrKtile undertaking on the side'of Lor-
r..ine, till the Allied troops are all ready to take the
otfensive.

At a late hour this forenoon we received the Paris
Papers of Monday last ; those of Sunday came to
hand last night. The Chambers of the Legislature
have commenced their Sittings ; but the business
which has yet come before them is merely prelimi-
nary. On Sunday M. LAmanixAts was chosen Pre-
, sident of the House of Representatives, and the
Session would be opened on Monday by a
speech from the Throne.---The Jonrtti s be-
ing published in the morning, do not bring us any
of the proceedings of that day. The departure of
the Emperor for the frontiers is announced to take
place on Tuesday, after a ,rand review, and there is
no doubt of the immediate commencement of ito.lti-
lities. Marshal Sour.-r, the Head of the Staff, was
to set out on Monday evening. BERTR IND, the
Grand Marshal, was to set out the same night for
Laon. It is probable an embargo Kill be immedi-
ately laid on all the French ports, that intelligence
of the Emperor's movements may not transpire.

The marriaae of the Date of C::NIBERLAND
the Princesq Dowager of S.u.ms was to be celebrated
at S7trell't en the '2Bth ult.

An article ft orn the Lower Rhine says, Gener.l
VANDAMMr, like NE?, has been recalled from the
army by BoNAPARTr and sent to his estatos: General
Count Lou.►u has taken the command in his stead.
The Br6men Gazelle states, that he treated the
citizens of Mezierrs, whete his head-quarters were,
so ill, that it was absolutely neces,aty to remowe him.
A long Letter from the South of France is given
in the Hamburg!) Papers, containing en evidently
exaggerated representation of the disaffection of the
French people in the South towards their present Go-
vernment. It concludes by stating that the Spauiards•
are approaching the frontiers.

The French accounts say, there was a great tn-
' mutt at Naples on the 11th, which the. English
troops were employed in quelling. The intelligen'ee
from Italy by the arrivals we subsequently announce,
Nsill tend to throw some right on the climes of this
reported tumult, and afford a picture, endeavoured
to be made as pleasing as possible, of the distracted
state of Italy.
JetiE s.—The Emperor yesterday re-
ceived on the throne, nt the Thuilleiies, the deputa-
tions from the Army and Navy ; and afterwards the
deputations of the Electoral Colleges.
After Mass, the Emperor passed into the gallery
of the Ml:seum, where the Members of the Electoral
Colleges were arranged on the right in alphabetical
order of departments, and the Naval and Military
Drpotations.on the left. The eagle of each depart-
ment, acid of each corps, was placed on the right of.
each President and of the Chief of each corps. No
words can desciihe this brilliant spectacle. The Em-
pray received the congratulations of all present. It
was, indeed, a most affecting scene. Ten thou-
sand persons, with difficulty, restraining their
emotions of attachment. At eight o'clock a most
brilliant illumination took place ; at nine the Em-
peror nod his family appeared at the balcony of the
Thnillciies, and was received with universal near).
mations. After the performance of a most delightful
conceit, the signal was given for the display of the
fire-works in the Place de Concorde. When the
Emperor retired, all Paris rung with shouts and ac-
clamations of Vire l'Empercur.
Here follow the addresses of the different bodies—
all of which are couched in the most energetic lan-
guage, and contain sentiments of the most devottal
attachment to the Emperor and to the new Constitu-
tion.

By the following article from Cenca, it would
appear that the French statement of MURAT'S .
escape is true, and that the whole of Ancona, the
Citadel excepted, is in the possession of the Aus-
trians
GENOA, MAY (20.—A Prussian courier, who is
arrived in nine (lays from Kircelor•a, confirms, that'
80,000 Spaniards awl 25,(;00 Portuguese. are ready
to take the field at the first sig•o al. ( oiJevi! ! Gently
Mr. Oracle !) It seems the Spanish army will be-H.
gin its operations at the same time as the Allies on
the Rhine, anti in Flanders.
The whel • r A:Konu, except the Citadel, is in the
•
hands of the Austrians.
Private letters say, that Murat has embarked in
the Harbour of St. Benedetto, near Ascoll, on board
a small vessel, which steered towards Otranto. j
Auosuunott, MAY 28.—Letters from Basle, of
the 23d, state, that the French out-posts have so
long teazel] the Swiss, that the latter, at length pro-
voked, hastily advanced, on the last occurrence of
the kind, and brought back twenty French prisoners
to Basle.

CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, JUNE 4.

A long debate ensued es to the eligibility of Lu-
cien 13onapirte to sit. in the House, he being a
Member of the House of Peers.
A Letter from Count Carnot was read, to the
effect that the List of the House of Peers would not
be published until after the opening of the Session.
Seine murmurs taking place,
The President stated, that the question before the
House was the election of a President.

The scrutiny then began, and was as follows, the
number' of voterd being 472,—there must be 237 to
form an absolute majority.
The result of the scrutiny was :

of Dunkirk have repaired to the standard of

The miserable mole-eyed nibblers of the Govern.
meta l'rct“, whose existence is merely preserved by
the warmth of the Treasury, and who do such ho-
'tour by their lucubrations to the cause which they
advocate, are. still' floundering and turniae up their
it..oses in the Field of May, with ;nest dit•
nt all that their jaundiced oper:s could per.
e, there, and venting their spleen in their usqat
elegart and convincing manner, by making the
foulest abuse, and the most trumpery misrepre-
sentations, supply the place of a;goment *and truth.
Foremost among this worthy train, commissioned
and eager to sap the foundation of Nieozrox's
glory, stand the Editors of the 'rims, Post, and
Courier, so noted for their elegance of language and
veracity, with many a story of " loyal insurrec-
tions," and new coined term of vituperative speech
at hand, to " amaze the wise and make the stupid
stare," fully as much as at
K A TERVELTO t';S hair on end,
Ai own wonders wondering for his bre-gd."

But it wilt not all do. The splendour of that diadem
which glitters with such attractions in the eyes of a
pious Monarch that, like MEDEA, he would sacrifice
" his children" to obtain it, is too powerful fur the
sickly eyes of the Treasury moles. We pity
them. Our arguments ere not necessary to show
the absurdity of theirs. In fact, all argument
Is so perfectly in favour of the Emperor NA.
POLEON as to the present war, and the circum-
stances and ceremonies which have confirmed him on
the Throne of France cu.! show him to he the only
man able and worthy to sway that great nation, that
it would be a waste of time to add to what has been
so well and frequently expressed by the Fronch
titc:nselves, and particularly by M. Dußois, in his
Address to the Emperor in the Champ de Mai, and
the Emperor in his reply. Those two speeches con-
tain a full analysis of the subject. The Courier, io a
, tone of triumph, asks," Who are,lbe Foreign Kings
who have been raised to Thrones by, NAPOLEON?
Were they JEROME, JOSEPH, Lotlis, and. MURAT :"
Has the Courier forgotten the King of WIRTEM.
BERG, our revered Monarch's Son-ht-Law? Has he
forgotten the King of BAM'A RI A, and the Crown Prince
of SWEDEN—to say nothing of the beloved FERDI.
NAND, whose right to the Throne, if he. has any, pro-
ceedott from the Abdication of his Father CHARLES IV.
0,160 abdication was procured fot him solely by the
Emperor: ant! who so often-, and so earnestly, and
so humbly hesou4ht Nie.meoN to permit him the
honour of an alliance with his Imperial Family?
But the Courier very carefully skims over that most
impressive part of the Emperor's Speech, in wl irh
he draws so perfect a picture of Royal ingratitate,
• when he speaks of the personal hatred towards him
of those men, whose pre.ent political existence is
solely° wing to his forbearance—There is an old adage,
that our bitterest enemies are those who owe as the
' most—in the present instance it is fully exemplified.

strong to express the sense which posterity mutt
