On the Oath of May, the Prince ssch Chan.
cellor, presiding in the sitting OF the ,e,,,
appointed the state counsellor Keguault dys
Jean d Angely, minister of state, to lay beh.
them The grounds of sena,us consullum. {,
uniting Tuscany with the French empire anal
M. oemoaWile spoke i'll the name of the CON.
mission OF the senate which unanimously VI.
cd tor this incorporation. The following i,
summary of the assigned grounds:
The whole coast of the Mediterranm
sea must form part of the French terri,oy
OK the great empire. The re ions, the co.s
adjoining TO the Adriatic, are united win b.
kingdom Of Italy I; ali those which lie slov
the Mediterranean. which are adjacent o@I
territory, must be united with the emps o
France. From Leshorn to Touion, 10 Gesa
to the department Of Corsica, is not arhsr
than from neghorn to Mi!:,n. The commerce
OF the Mediterranean, whatever may be tie
opposition OF the tyrant of the SEAS viii Is
necessarily under the influence of France
The very same first principles in cOp>
quence Of which Genoa Was incorporated viii
France rather than with the Kingdom Of l.dS
also require that LeYhorn be made a part d
that empire. The Kingdom OF Naples vai:i
lies botn on the MediterrxHesn ara TIC i1rr
tic, constitutes distinct kingt.om subject
however, to the SINE fct!eratIye syseal id
to the same state policy.
" The port OF Leghora has given constant
reasons ut complaint 10 France That ph
alpertaining to territory governed by weak
prince, had fallen under the Influence OF Eng
land, and was become one OF the prlncipaE
lets Tor aer commerce. In different .ls.4l'.
es, without wishing to violate the neatrlhyd
the sovereign of Tuscany, il became neceSt
~ for divisions Of French troops to efLsr
horn, to confiseatc the English mercnanas
there. These violations OF territory hove
vcr necessary, are always disagreeaAe; a'u
since Lcyhorn Cannot he under the Iniue"oc
OF France and England at the same ,mc' I
must become part OF France. Beslde', iss'
horn and the Tuscan territory produce ss'ls'
for the extension of our marine; tlrouga ~
whole extent ship-buiIoing is carried on 'p
in the same proportion must the means DC ~

to the ideas of all those who are acquail's'
with the sea service, We found means to eqif
