THE EMPEROR NAPOLEoNE.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEONE.
LONDON, Hay ie.-There is little doubt that
Bouaparte will aaume the title of Emperor OF
The French or the Gauls. Private letters tate
that this event has already taken place and
neutral veiel arrived in the river has brought the
additional intelligence, that he has annexed 20
the title that Of King OF Lornbardy. That
comfortable p-ogrefS has been made in this i'm
perial arrangement, which we think is no good
omen for the Cor'ican and his family, is obvious
from the following extract of letter from Eou-
en-, Of the 9th infant -
" In the fitting of the Sd infant, the Tribu-
nate, after having heard the report OF the Speci-
al Commiilior, appointed to conlider of the pro-
petition maGe~by Citizen Curee, have reio!ved:
l. That Napolsone Bonaparte, Firlt Con-
tul, ihall be proclaimed Emperor of the French,
and in that quality be charged with the govern
ment OF France.
+" .. That the title Of Emperor, together
with the Imperial power ihall be hereditary in
his family, in the male line, and in the order of
progenitue.
&c 8. The conHituted authorities in forming
the necefiary regulations for the e.tablihment of
the hereditary powers, ihall make all due pro-
viiions for prefervirg equality, liberty, and the
rights of the people.
" 4. The prefent vote {hall be carried to the
Senate by a deputation of fix members, who are
TO explain to it the motives which have induced
the I'iibunatc 10 take this reiolution.''

and to be performed ut Ax-la-Chapelle, where

May l6.-The arrival of feveral couricrs in
Paris, from Germany, has haitened the prepa-
rations OF the Coronation, which will take place
in defiance of the remembrance of certain courts.
AZ diStiioiI1 Oy @'idldHlc DONdparIc, her
huibaNd iaid, loud enough TO be heard by all
pretent, in addrefiing himfelf to certain hither-
to favorite Ambaliador, " Pray, Sir, have not
the French people the fame right to give the SUI
preme Chief what title and prerogstives they
think neceiiary for their honour and tranquility,
as much as to chute freely their own form Of 90
vernment." a bow of fubmiiion was the on

command or an explanation TO the whole TO-
corps prefent; of whom ieveral
the next day dispatched couiiers TO their refpec-
tive courts, with this fophifical declaration of

The Coronation robes have been embroider

mated at two millions of livres gold and FLYER
medals to the amount of ten millions of livres,
report fays, are already truck at the mint, and
are to be attributed on the Coronation day, in
all the armies, as well as among the people in all
the cities and towns. The Coronation carriage
has been made long ago, by Simeon, at Bruflels,
under pretence that it was intended as pre-
fent TO the Emperor of Rufia. The Coronation
is to be performed by the Cardinal Archbifhop
of Paris and the Pope's Nuncio, Cardinal Capra-
RI, aIifcd by three other Revolutionary Car
dinsls, and twelve Revolutionary Arciibi-
ihops and Biltops. The Pope, on account CT
his age and inhrmities, has been executed Jour
