This morning received ferries Of Moniteurs
from the s,h 'othe 5,h and Dutch Journals to the
2oth MI. They announce, what we have long ex-
peaed, the incorporation of the I4igurian Republic
with the French empire. In the thing tief there is
little to excite neerea for Genoa, her people, and
her dependencies, were before as much at the lipo-
ia of Bonaparte if they had been French it is the
manner in which the act originated and was carried
into eed that calls for attention The refufa of Great
Britain to recognize the republic is aligned the
motive oi this conioidaton, although doubt can
be entertained that the real caue has been the amb,-
on of the Emperor Napoleon. His anlivsr to the
Doe and Deputies of the Senate and people of Genoa
evnces proof Of his deefation of tine EnyEih Co
vernment aud nation Not content with coupling us
with the pirates of 4Ngers, of Tuns, and rrpo'; he
feems dsrous of throwing additional obacles to
the re-eitabhment OF peace. He declares his deter
mutation never to acquiefce in the principle upon
which this country has at all times ated with refpeS,

ofthe claim that right of blockade can be exerciied
