The enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1804-1815, 1815-06-17

Since we were called, fifteen years ago, by
the wish OF France, TO the Government of
the State, we endeavored TO perfect, at differ
ent periods, the Constitutional forms. accor-
ding to the wants and the desires of the ma
ton, and profitting BY the lessons of Experi-
ence. The constitutions of the Empire are
thus formed by series of acts which have
been clothed with the appreciation of the poo
pie
We had then for OF. end. to organize
great European federative system, which we
had adopted as being conformable TO the spi-
rit of the age, and favorable to the progress
of civilization. To bring it 10 completion, &
to give 1t all the extent and all the stability
OF which 1t was susceptible, we had postpoIi-
ed the establishment of many interior institu-
tons, more especially intended to protect the
liberty of the citizens. Our end, hencefortb,
is only to increase the prosperity of France, by
the strengthening of pupiic liberty. Hence
results the necessity of many important mo-
dlhcations in the Constitutions, senatus-con-
sulta and other acts which govern this EN-
pire.
For these reasons, wishing on the one side,
to preserve whatever is good and salutary in
the old, and. on the other, to render the Con-
stitutioIls OF our empire conformable in every
respect, to the national wishes and wants, as
well as TO the state of peace which we desire
to maintain with Europe, we have resolved
to propose to the people series of arrange
ments tending to- modify & perfect their con
stltutional acts, to surround the rights of the
citizens with all their guarantees, to give to
the representative system all its extension, to
invest the intermediate bodies with the de-
srabie respect & power; in a word, to COM
bipe the highest point of political liberty and
individual safety, with the power and energy
necessary to cause the independence of the
French people and the dignity of our crown
tobe respectfully foreigners. In consequence,
the following articles, forming supplement
tary act to the Constitutions of the Empire,
will be submitted to the free and solemn APP
probation of all the citizens throughout the
whole extent Of France.

By report from the office of thc
Adjatant Gen. at Wa!hington, it appears
that during eight months, from February
70 September Ian, incluiisc, there was
recruited for the army Of the United
States 1858 men. The government
does not choofe to inform the people of
the whole number, that they may know
the terrible facrihce of lives caufcd by the
war; if they Gid, the miItake Of american
for B,Tfyb Army might not be 70 very
great after all. The fame ratio OF re-
cruiting, previous to that period, and il
was much greater, beginning with the
declaration Of war, would give FORTY

with ten thonfand in frryicc at that time,
