TO the imperial crown oil France, and it
being made dcscendable TO his family,
have been officially notilied 10 the different
Germanlc states by the French ministers
who were accredited to them. Exclusive
of those particular communications, Nj.
Bacher, the French Charge d'Afiairs al
the Diet OF Ratisbon, has made general
one 10 the Diet OF the Ger,nanic empire,
Oh the 28th Of last month. All the mott
hcations were made in the same form OF
words, 10 which were annexed copies of
the decree of the French senate of the
23th Fioreal. The note addressed by Nj.
Bacher 20 the diet is as follows
The undersigned, the French Charge
Affairs, has the honor 10 transmit to the
General Diet the Germanic empire, the
ANNEXED copy OF the decree OF the senate,
which determines henceiotth the style,
the forms, and the transmits sal OF the SUI
preme power OF France, the only things
which, IN the organization of The Republic
Government, did not bear a due propor-
ton to the greatness and TO the calls of the
state.
He hastens, in these circumstances, 10
Government, that his imperial majesty,
Napoleon, emperor of the French, is ill.,
vested by the laws of the state, With the
imperial dignity, and that this title and
this dignity are 10 be transmitted to his
descendants III the male line diIect; and in
default OF such issue, 10 the male line di-
rect OF their imperial hlghncsses prince
Joseph and Louis BonapaIte, brothers TO
the emperor.
In making this notification, the under
signed thinks il necessary 10 remark, that
all official communications are To be sus.
pended until the former titles shall be re-
placed by those oil The imperial protocol,
as well in the credentials Of the ministers
accredited TO france, as in those Of his im-
pefial majesty the emperor of the French,
accredited TO foreign courts. The con-
hdenual communications necessary for
the commencement and progress Of bu.
slness, may still be made in the usual man.
ncr.
" The undersigned is, in the mean time,
instructed To- declare, that the important
law which has contemplated the organiza.
ton OF the state in a manner suitable to
the dignity of the French people, will pro-
duce no change in its political relations.
France, in placing them under the pro.ec-
ton OF a government invested with greater
splendor, and surrounded with dignity
more analogous TO the nature of circum-
stances, confers greater force and consist
ency 10 the reciprocal advantages that
friendly nations have a right to expecl from
her and the same time, she gives more
consideration tothc iespeclthat all govern
menIs shall receive from her, and which
they, IN their turn, are bound to manifest
towards her.

"My DEAR PITT, 9Th May, 1904.
al have already appraised you that all the per
sons to whom, IA yourdesire. communicated what
passed between us Yesterday, agree with me in
the decided opinion, that we ought NOT to en-
gage in the Admin tration which you aie now
employed in forming
1--WE should be sincerely sorry, If by declining
this proposal we should appear less DESTROYS than
we must always be, of rendering to his Majesty
70 the utmost Of our power, every service of
which he may be graciously pleased to think rs
capable No consideration Of personal ease or
comfort apprehension of responsibility, nor
remittance TO meet the real situation into which
the country has been bro't have any weight in
this decision nor are we fettered by any engage
ments on the subject, either expressed or implied
we rest our determination solely on strong
sense of the irrpropricty of our becoming parties
TO 4 system OF government, which is to be form
ed AT such moment as the present, a prinoi-
pie Of exclusion.
1t is unnecessary to dwell on the mischief
which have already resulted from placing the
great Offices of Government in weak and incapa-
BILE bands. We see no hope of any e1ettual re-
nedy For these mischiefs but by uniting in The
public service " as large a proportion as possible

" found in public men of all descriptions, and
{" without any exception" This opinion have
already had occasion to express to you in the
SainS Wo'uS, anu we nave Tor some TINE past
been publicly aeing in conformity TO il; nor can
we, while we remain impressed with that per
suasion. concur in defeating an Object for which
the circumstances of the present times afford at
once so strong an inducement, and SO favorable
an occasion.
Gan opportunity now offers, such as this conn
try has seldom seen for giving its Government
in momen, of peculiar difficulty, the full benefi,
OF the services of all those, who by the public
voice and sentiment. are judged most capable of
contributing to its prosperity and safety The
wishes of the public on this subject are complete
ly in union with its interests. and the advantages,
which not this country alone, but all Europe, and
the whole civilized world, might derive from the
establishment of such an Administration, at such
crisis. would probably have exceeded the most
sanguine expectations
eve are certainly not gnoran, of the difficult
ties which might have obsrutied the signal accom-
plishrneht of such an Object, however earnestly
pursued But when in the very first instance all
trial off is preoluded & when this denial is made
the condition of all subsequent arrangements, we
cannot but feel that there arc no motives, of what
ever description, which could Justify cur taking
an active part in the establishment of system so
adverse to our deliberate and declared opinions.

The latest accounts from Holland state
that the expedition against this country will

A letter from Rotterdam, dated 18th of

ofthe principal shop-keepers at Hifengen,
and forcibly taken from them all such goods
as they choosesto alledge are of English
mandatory, and sent them up TO Ant
werp and Middleburgh; and, under pre-
tence oflooking for spies, they have exer-
cised very vexatious search IN several
private houses. 1t is reported that up
wards of10o Wagons ladenwithgoods ex-
pedited from Embden, have also been
stopped by the French on the frontiers.

tv signed at Madrid by Joseph Bonaparte,
