........ ----- negociation, M.Talleyrand never denied that that was what had been propofed. His anfwer wasby no means It denial of that balls. but gated, that circumaances had changed fo much in the mean time, that France ce'nld notlben agree to the peace fhehld before pro poled.

On* former nccation it had been de *aided nf this country to acknowledge the Emperors aid the Ptinces of its family ; and this.was confider -a 0 a fort of ettaftilent.for the reilitution of Ha• novert but after Lila Yermonth's return, this was no t , longer ettrett, tut 'fficify was what was ;tainted in • Vas Of Ifinoier. ThaFreneh Minifter never did de ny that he had proonfedtb Lord Yarmouth the bails of afloat Porellion, but aftaviatds be itiowtd a 4oetine that itai:congediaory tab h He Paid the Emperor could never content no fuch • t erms ; that ' ; . tipon fuch tern* he might hare kept the greatell part of the Auflrian pioviocts, and many oilier countite : s • iiritlih had been'occupled bilis anus, bu't which he' Itafiored at the peace. It 'was, however, to be recol laid; that none of thofe enmities were in his pot 'fang at that time, and therefore could not be fet , le l gaintt Poffefficns eaually in our - occupation. When ffr. Fox keard that M.. Talleyrand had departed Ir . '' hii former haat, he wrote to Lord yarmonth, elfi 4n • grong indignation, the tergieeristion of it F' Government. and rnfitied ution .' the pot- Mott 1 Otis as *jet ea ma; iti coming clirerilly under the thestilingpfthe original agreement, t he in our . aitearpoFeSon; ilainugh for the benefit a 'Ake 03,4 Napes. ; Mr. ';'ox, in that letter, Paid • ( Illpiiis confirmed in rte :opinion he bad entertained -bl tile 4ifii . ;reifisOteel'hy M.

It certainly, therefore, was un der thofiimpseffions, and with Inch an noderßandiog that hii - MaiellY's Minifters ailed. He could harffij enkeiie upon what grounds the Gentlemen on the other fide could arraign his Majely's Miniaers for having fo rutted. Did they mean to fay, that Mini .ficrii &Odd not have named to any fort of overture by verbal communioatiou ? A Noble Lord (Cattle reagh ) raid, on a former night, with great gravity and fuleninity, 0 I flicudd not have Masa to ver bal communications. I fhould have required written 'notes." If the' geotlemen on the other ' fide really meant to argue on that ground, he *Med that they "mild *Age Whether, in the whole . hidory of &ore negaciatitins which bate led to the. relloration of peace, they ever knew a *fin& hiltance, where an overture to reconciliation, or a communication of tip teoskftCy, was reirefted merely betaufe it was **tit pot into writing ? If thofk men d,iplomatins now ditto to lay down this nOtir title; he cadd thew them force' authority, on which they ' no doubt, thought highly, which wasin oppolition to thii olio ciple. There was certainly no part of a negociation which it was more neceffary to put into the molt pre tire form than that folemn period of difeuffion which determines the point of peace or war, and when the sikiisetew of States is given in. And, neverthelefs, this was a point which was but little attended to in . the difcufbons before the peace of Amiens, and in thofe which immediately preceded the prefent war. And yet the Noble Lord (Cafilereagh) himfeif was Ifien•ntit only in office but in the cabinet, and ought got to have (offered any great irregularity to pats un der his eyes : another on. Gentleman (Mr. Peree val) was then Attorney General, and did not at that time perceive, that this omiffion deferved the, weigh of his criticifra. A Right Hon. Gendeman (Mr. Canning)who was certain ly lefs impliceted as oppafigg his Majehy's then Minillers, yet fuppoled . the treat of Amiens, not only in the `whole, but in its details. Lord Whitworth, it appears, gave in verbally his Id :imam. W. Talleyrand complained of that as con trary to the ufage of nations, and wished for &written - note upon a fubjed of (Oat importance. laord Ilawkellitiry had then in ftrufted Lord Whitworth to give in his ultimatum, either verbally or in writing, as he thought proper ; but when M. Talleyrand com plained of fuch an important communication being verbal, then Loid Hawkeibury wrote over tO Lord Whitworth, informing him, that his Majelly had nit' objeaion to his . giving hii witiwatwelo a (bore note. Whatever opinion we, as Engliffimen, may form of the fincetity or tha-infincerity of the French Minifters 4n negociation, yet he fuppOfed thehlobleLord. would hardly fay, that in every negoCiatipn with France we fhould tell the French Miniflers, 61 You are fuch rogues and vagabonds, that we will not take your words for any thin; ; whatever you fay mutt be in writing : but as for its, we ate fuch honea and fin 44re , eit ,. yon mutt not ant for any thing in writing us, you. mull be. 'content with our bare worth for every thing." Now, whether (itch a diainaion *Mild be true or untrue, iereoiilly we never 041 eipco that the enemy will adopt tt inn egociatioth It, then, Gentlageti nn the other fide withes[to Ond 'faith With the man o rs in which the negociation was com menced_, it 'would 'riot be difficult to anfwer. To 4.lillePtenets, Mr. Fox returned written aofwers, but to verbal communications he returned verbal anfwer:.- If it be illovied to be tight to take any no tire of *visit communications, in what other manna *mild they, or ought they to be anfwered ? The pro. pnfal fent by Lord Y - armouth was anfwered, by Lord Yarmouth ; but the Noble Lord certainly was. not authorised Or entitled to demand a written, r . enogni- tion of the Wefts PrOpidid , until he could proituea his fell powers. TN* fall powers however his MajeAy's Mioilkers did, not with that he Ilsould produce, 'until OortMn points hadbein abfolutely conceded by France a n d the belie of the neociation unequivocally declar ed. If that had been done, then it was intended that Lordl v armouh fhould have produced his full powers, and the *fiat notes that w.ouht 7 have ken esehgaged afterwards; mutt have contained a wr4ttn recogni tion of the bafis propofed for the negpciatioa. Al though the negotiation did accidentaßy comsiunci without that formal recognition, yet notwithilanding the cliticifins he had beau!, he conceived he was war- •••4 0. 1rw - t ranted in Rating, that. die fiat -Overtime ~ from France, and-that the bafis was otienais, r pofed.by. the french government, bat that after t. they fhifted from that.hafis which they had asigini/11,;, propofed. When Lord Yarmouth returned to pAtil, h•rouna eissumliances materially changed, and then he was told by M. Talleyrand, that France could not then accede so the lame terms which it had before propofed. Lord -Yarmouth was then placed is fituation of extreme difficulty. He was on the one . hand told, that the moilimportant changes woulde in a few days, take place in the fyftem of Eirropewi unlefs he was authorized to negotiate for this country. On the other hand, his inaruaions were, that he fhould not produce his full powers unlefs the French Minitler fir: acceded tocertain points. Under thole citcumftances Lord Yarmouth was in a moll dif ficult and delicate fituation. The refolutiorrihat he' took to produce his full powers was, no dreg, infla enced by the bilk of motives for the welfare of this counts y, and of Europe ; but at the fame time his Majefty's Minifters could not but regret that he had produced thole powers. It was certainly contrary , to their intentions, and to his inttrueions. The text Rep that was taken by Government, was to Rod Lord Lauderdale to Paris, who tom being perfettly acquainted with the fentiments of the Government, and Oro from his habits of bufinefs, was capable of giving great alliftance to Lord Yarmouth in the con. doe of the negociation. Lord Lauderdale, upon bisH arrival at Paris, immediately prefented a Note, con veying the fentiments of his Majelly's Minifters, and laying down thole principles upon which alone th* negociation could be btought to a favourable Mi. The anfwer to this note was indeed fomething like a denial of the principle which had been laid down for the negotiation. It was Paid,'* If England isle keep every thing the has got, and require France.th make many ceflions for peace, then, indeed, peace is im rabic. But (it continued) if France is alto to keep every thing that the has conquered by her armies, and that is to be the hafts of peace, France adopt: the bails " There was fomething curious in this word adopt:. Some other word had firs been written', and a much longer word. This had been carefully erafed, and with the golden Imperial pen the word ddeprr was infested. Coupling this anfwer with the former pro ceedings of the French Governeient, Lord Lauder dale defpaired of bringing the negociation to a favour able termination, and thought it his duty to demand his pafports. Another conference took place, and Lind Lauderdale In prend for paffports ; but when the Intelligence arrived of the refufal of the Emperor of kuralo ratify the treaty, then the language of the French Miniders appeared (0 much changed, that Lord Lauderdale conceived it his duty to re ,.new the conferences. They were afterwards delayed fur a few days by his Lordffiip's Rinds, hut it was the whole object of Lord Lauderdale to bring the nego ciation to a fpeedy Wile. Such was the hiffory of the fags of the negociation ; and it remained now to be teen what part of the corklue of his Majefty's Mi nifiers, in this negotiation, was to be complained of or found fault with. A Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had faid, " Whatever may be the condua of Minifiers, I confider the caufe of my country good as againtl the enemy." He was almost fatisfied with this declaration; and if it was univerfally allowed that in this negotiation, the caufe of the country was good as againa the enemy, he ffionld fay, " Then I have gained my caufai" for it was of far more importance, in his mind, to efiabliffi that the caufe of the country was good and clear, than to defend the individual conduB of Minifters. But the fame Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning), who allows that the caufe of the country is fo good and clear, in the fame fi,eech reprefented his Majefty's Minifters as com plete dupes, and faid, that the hiftory of the negocia tion was nothing elfe that that of artifice praeiling on credulity. If he were, however, to examine the feparate parts of that hitinry, he would find it very hard to efiablifh his affection. If he would take the firfi period up to the toth of Apri!, he would hardly fay we had been dupes up to that period, unlefs he means to lay it down broadly, that we otrght.nevei. to liften to any .verbal communication, tending, or purporting to teed, to the reaoration of peace. His Majefty's Minifters had moll pofitively refitted to treat, except in conjunetion with Rola (Mr, Perce val thook - his head in fign of difapprobation.) la I fee (continued his Lordfhip) that this Honourable aid Learned Gentleman means to favour us with his ed. ticiftns upon this point; but certainly, during the pct-' rind I am fpeaking of, up to the loth of April, Mr. Fox pofitivety refufed to treat but in conjunaion with 2offia, and upon that refufal the negociation appeared for a confidecable time to be at an end." The offers of the enemy Might in the very outfet be falli and infrecere. That, however, was but of little confequener ; for he fuppofed, that it 'wenld hardly be contenchd by any body, that even if there were tirong grounds of fufpicion that the propofals of the enemy were hollow and infincere, upon that account they lhonld not even be litlened to. If he was pe remptorily and drily to sejea an overture of an his. nonrable peace from France, how could he jollity himfelf to all Europe, and what is of more conic cience, how could he juftify himfelf to the people of this country, where public opinion is the principal i Rrength and refources of the Government ! If it were faid, that Minifiers were fo cajoled by the arti fices of France. as on that account to delay the ne cefary expeditions, and the fopport that ought to have been given to Pruffia, to fuch an affection he mull give a broad denial. The lodes of Prutlia had prciceecled from her own mifguided counfels, whio rendered it impoffible to give her any fupport. As to the remaining point, whether we bad maintained good faith with our Allies, he fhould obierve, that as to theliulans,although we contented to treat fepa rately in farm, yet in fad we never contented to treat but in conjuntlion with Ruffia, and in firma of her reafoaable demands. We bad certainly a right to keep every thing we had got, unlefs France ;Wept ed to make equivalent returns to,os or to our Allies —This was the only balls upon is;,lch a, peace could be faid to be honourable to thiaconotrz. With Tel= pea to the King of Naples, it could not be laid that we had oat ailed with the ftrietea honour. We had defended Sicily with our arms, and we had refitted to give it up to France,' although the laid fq much firers upon the 16101160 n. The in terefisrofilanover, Sweden, and the Porte,•were to have fluffily enter ed into the negotiation, and certainly the retreat of the French armies into their own s eountry, would , have been required, which would have given at teat owner rar e. been antecedently offered ; but Then, all this was to be done on the condition only of our abandoning new angel ally, the Emperor of Ruffia—of our abandon ing Sicily and its monarch, whom we had engaged to ptoteil and defend; and, therefore, if- the terms had been a great deal better, be was free to meets to the Hook and to the country,that he for (Hie would not have agreed to accept them. Betides, it was to be remembered, that thole terms-ware not offered; till Bonaparte had 21E11)1111y let off .ao take the mow' mand of the army in his war againa Proffitt; sad it is eafy to forefee that if they had been lillened to -by his Majefty's Government, reprefentations would have immediately been made to Ruffia, that Great Britain was always guided by a paltry, felfifh po licy; and it would be impoffible that Ruffia fhould not he a (offerer by loch an alliance. But his Ma jelly's Government never could he for a moment in• duced to think of forfeiting the honour and good faith of this country, by abandoning an Ally to whom we were not only bound in honour, but alt . () by an exprefk l treaty not to fign a peace but with his confent and concert. His opinion of the Ruffian connection wee. that if there yet remained a ray of hope of retrieving I the calamitous affairs of Europe, that hope was Witty to he fuflained by a flrift and faithful alliance with' Raffia, and no temptation, however flattering, no con-1 federation whatever, ought to prevail on us to abatis don it. The French Government had held out, that if the terms propoLed were not agreed to, the changes , in Germany would immediately take place, .and the offers in future would not be In advantageous ; but if we could be induced to accept terms, becaule we might have work offered to us, it would be fubmit ring to a &Arline of paffire obediaote -aad non-re finance, which might be - highly injurious as well as degrading to any country. He had already flared, that Sicily ought to be retained from the pr-feffion of France, on account of Malta ; and more than that, we were bound to defend it for the King of Sicily, who is our Ally, who had lall the kingdom of Naples in confequence of that alliance. We had fent an army to Sicily for the purpofe of defending it—that brave army had (hewn that it was equal to the talk; and he thotight, that after the brilliant and glorious sic tory obtained by it on the Plains of Maids, no perfon could coanfel his Majefty's Minifters to let their hauds, and give fandlion to (rich a treaty. The Em peror of Raffia, in honour of his crown, had a right to expert conceffions from France. He had a right, by former treaties with that Power, to cape& a con ceffion, and a compenfation for Sardinia, of which Bonaparte had poffeffedhimfelf , and in lieu of which Dalrnatits certainly was not too r:uch. His*Lortlihip bagged Gentlemen to confider what Dalmatia is : it is aet a frontier province of France, and therefore not ;equate fir the defame. of that lotion. It is, how ever, what is very important to carry in view, an opening into the heart of the Turkifh empire, by which the French Government, whilft• it is ifs their pollif fion, might-puffi any number of troops they picafe to overturn the Turkith empire. whenever their intrigues might have preparedmattars for filch aft en torptife. Dalmatia is alfn a flank of the Hungarian provinces, and either Auftrian Monarchy ; ands what is of OM more ctrential confequeaco, it is of for gnaw importance in time of peace than in time of war, nod: therafores it bee:ma eta AO& nit awl, to kik fia, but to Europe in general, that it Lhould not be .. . . . ter filtered to teinaht in the hands of the Frenth.
