The FIRST CONSUL having ordered me to give an accost* to him in Senate, of the differences which lanlly took place between theFrelich Rept& lie and the Regency of Algiers, mid of the fuccefs ofthe measures which have been purfued to terms- j nate them, I mue firft recur to the previous Rate of things--From the frontiers of Egypt to the Strait of Gibraltar, the North of , Africa is porde& by men bangers to the publie law of Europe.— The principles and manners which have formed of European focieties, as we may fay, only one foci. ety, which not only forbid us to opprefs, but command us to favour, prottrVehd eine the na vigation and commerce of peaceable nations when, in danger; which reprobate ail aqua aggreffiga ; which aiginatife valour if it beeruel, and rapist that the rights of humanity should always vs. main facred—thefe manners are Rill unkanallg to Vac people of there countries. They •hara no other rights of man than, the laws of di* Police, which permit among them individual :ads of violence, embank them in regard, • 'strangers, and even confeciate theia as ads courage in regard to enemies : they are ignorattt that the eights of man, by their general rules, abolish the chimerical rights which people, too much conceited on account of their local iimpor. ranee. pretend to derive from the licentioufireft of their u&- ;we mull believe, for the honour of Europe,! on this point, the fupremacy of public rig* whidt Arlan ;tie limit's to the tole rance of particular Legiflations, will not in future be di fo wned in Africa. The Regency of Algiers ; has particularly fignalifed itfelf by an audacity which fume events mull have increafed. Charles V. turned his vidorious awns againa Africa : he irifhed to deliver gurope from the, incurfions of the Barbary Powers, and to reduce them to imbe cility ; but his attempt failed of fuccefs, and did not correfpond to the magnitude of his preparations.' At a poftertor period Louis XIV. avenged on the Algerines the honour of the French flag. Algiers by his orders was bombarded.three times in the courfe of fix years; but he could carry his ven geance no farther: the affairs of Europe demanded Atli his atterftion. The Algerines however were then taught to refped France, and the peace coo eluded in 1689 exifted for a century, when the en. treaties and orders of the Sublime Porte caufed it to be broken in the year 7. Of 'the enemies which remained to France when the Fire Conful took the reins of Government, the Regency of Algiers wa the lean formidable; but the Firft Confuldefirous of putting an end every where to the calamities of, war, being informed that the Dey of Algiers had defied war againft his inclination, and that he . willed for peace, fent a negotiator to Algiers.— - Preceded by the fame of the exploits of which • Italy, Germany, Egypt, and Syria, had been the theatre, the Envoy of the Fire onful was re ceived as be-deferved. Peace was agreed on, and • even proclaimed in the Divan. Anew interference however of the Sublime Porte caufed the figninee of it ta be adjourned : war teemed to be .reviled; but it was a war without boftilities. All the French bad permiffion to retire in freedomfrom Algiers, with all their property, and the Agent Of Prance waited at Alicant for the memeat when the nego. tiations might be returned. In a word, a Defini tive Treaty, which allured to France all the ad. vantages aipulated by the ancient treaties, end which, by new stipulations, guaranteed better, and more explicitly, the freedom of the French corn. Sperce and aavigatim to Algiers, was figned on the 7th of fall Nivofe , (Dec. 28.) The geneial peace was concluded, and commerce began to re turn, to its accuftomed channels. But we loon learned that the Algeria. eruifers were hoverfng about in the Mediterranaii, committing depreda tions on the French commerce, and infelting rhe 'toalls. The flag and territory even of the Re public were not rstpelted by the corfairs of the Re gency. They carried into Algiers tranfports which had failed from Toulon bound to Saint Domingo. They Hopped a Neapolitan velkl in the feu, and' anion on the coaft of France. An Algerine rail bad the audacity, in the harbour of Tunis, to fobjed the Captain of a French merchant ship to infamous treatment. The boats of the Coral ‘leompany, which-according to the articles of the treaty, went out to flub, were driven by violence from the coons. The Chargé d'Affaires demanded ' fatisfadion without obtaining it : they dared to make_ propotals to him injurious to the dignity of tha t French People. They witted that TOW* should Vay for the execution of the trea ty I Informed of theft fads, the Fitts?

Such 'more peculiarly was the pofition of the 'Sublime Porte at that period of the war when we obferved it with aftpoifhment ail* itfelf with the enemies of France. ' Nor was it INT before that very Government itfelf begart to partiOpite in the furprife which its own conduit had excited, and indeed every thing it had to con template either at home or abroad, was well cal. culated to fill it with regret at having adopted the determination in which it hackpermitted itfelf to be engaged.. .It has Veen the Conqueror, faithful to the declaration be had made, on taking poffeffion of an Ottoman Provirice, provide the means of its prefervation, adminiftet its Government with wif dont, prepay its future 'profperity, and even at the very time wfien an unprovoked dedaratioaof war has made it a legitimate cooquell, evince, by his refpeft for the property, the cuftoms, aqd the reli gion of the vanquilhed, that his intention . ..remain- . ed unchanged,• and FranCe, in truth, far from aiming any hollile attempt againft the profperity or the power of Turkey, had, on the contrary, at that time, no other intention but that of rendering it more powerful and more happy, by infisfing into its bofotn new elements of civilization, and open ing through its provinces a high road to the conk- . nsercerifThe world- But the. Ottoman . Govern ment had engaged itfelf deeper than it had fore feet); and being the laft to enter into a war, from which it could *mita only ruinous confequences, it was in the natere Of its politkin to be the left to be 'extricated from it. It . was. only after the gu ropean Powers had conanded a pacification, that die Sublime Porte could attempt a Treaty without conftraint.

'll laterals of the commerce of France are silo rec' ndld by this Treaty.

The free accefs to the Black Sea henceforward opens to us a uew road, and the fphere of our commerce is enlarged by the &yea communications of France with the Southern praitinces of Raffia.

The. tone which prevail s i n - paper MA appear fingular to thole who know ( ~ ` who does not know ?) the origin and caufe of th, war between France and Turkey. After the viole, bisrafion of a Turi - ifh Province, it is ettra qt. mu , to bear TALLEVRAND afert that the Declaratic4 of War by the Porte was unprovoked ; after ti e avowed intention to retain that Colony, i t i, to &grant a contempt of decency and truth, to al; : , e ihat the obje& of France on ly ,virEagsytpot idnitifroudeudcfrecti°,. to the bofom of the Turkifh Empire " new elt. asents of civilization." We 'hoop! like to hear;, at . " a in t :a ef fi P o e t: t , a th n e d ° Z u levying of open war ? Fthe Porte has recovered Egypt, it is owing to th e arta of this country. But from fome rnifmaaigernett Egypt has been left a prey to LvEtion, violence, and civil war. The Beys difputo the Provinces, and there is little doubt that foreign intrigue pro, tongs the confufion. In the midfi of the anarchy which prevails in Egypt, the French will lay t h e , foundation of a new plan for getting polreflion of Ot * at " . fine Colony," by the poiliffion of whi c h they were to render Turkey " more powerful api more happy, by introducing into its Wont net t elements of civilization, and by opening thron g the =piddle of its Provinces the great road of th e Commerce of the World." Here is the - grand fcheme of the Peench mix& 'ion to. Egypt announced. The French withedto make Egypt the road to India, and in their own hands the eatrepot fif the various productions of 'Europe, Afia, and Africa. And is this mig' u ty proje4 abandoned ? We doubt it very much. it is too Battering to .the pride of Frenchmen, too much interwoven with the perfonal feelings and 1 perfonal views of the Flat = cossuL, too holt& to the intereas of England to be Ibon given up. How► . shoo is it to be efeaedi We fee that the infinmee and intrigues of France am again predominant in the Divan. The French Wail of it. The French, iodeeh. defetibe Turkey more as a vaffal that jeans on them for prOte&ion, than as an inde. pendent State. They will, therefore, at fuitahle moment, by 'Rite and cunning, extort a cam of that Colony, as ;they estartcd from the poor KING °Ultimata the eelfion of the ifland of Elba. Li 'the:iine. cafe, as in the other, they will claim it as falvage for the remaindor,. and defy all oppofition. We do not mean to fay that diet' will do this at the prefent momenc.-, We only give an Opinion, that the French hate Hill an eye fined itgsibl Egypt. The fierce diren• (ions which prevail in Egypt will facilitate any views the French entertain. They will ten the Turks that Egypt is a poffeffion not worth contend, ing for, and on a pretence of fubduing the BM they may be able to obtain the fubilanti al dominion. They have, at leafl, ample facility and pretenct left to countenance and agill fuch an attempt. The French, too, plume themfelves upon a new advantage they have 'acquired by the treaty with the TUrks, in the free navigation of the Black Sea. They are brought in contact with the Southern provinces ,of Ruda. Upon the whole, what the French gain by the prefen; treaty with Turkey, is a pledge of further quilition. They enlarge and confolidate theirinfiuf ence over the Porte, and they have the fame inte. ref to protes it that they have to protect Hollan4 or the Italian Republic, States on which they trample at will. In their fituation, ton, they le. cure the means of qtorting every advantage which circumftances may render defirable. A eon of the treaty was An our paper of F 1 Way. We find too, in thefe papers, an account of the fuccefs of the million to Algiers. TALLEYRAND prefented a Report on this fubjeet. The FIRST CONSUL talks in rather a cavalier manner, and the DRY anfwers in a. Rile which, if we could fuppofe the Algerines to underftand raillery, we lhould conceive to be humourous. BONAPARTE adapt( his language to his correfpnndent. He fays -4' GOD has decreed that all who arc unjull towards me (hall be punithed." The DEY, 41 reply, lays, that many of the complaints Rated proceed upon an erroneous view of the circumflances. -- Upon the whole, the Day promifes to refpeet thc, French and Italian . flags. He makes a demand of 200,000 piaftres, which he lays he loft on the French account ; but whether it is paid inner, he is determined to live on amicable terms with his friend BONAPARTE. Is not this a fly demand of the ufual tributes ? Indeed the DEY Joel not feem 'to be fo very humble as might have been card. ed, confidering how formidable an antagonist he. had. The French appear to confider the affair as perfeelly well fettled. It may be with regard to France, but after the pompous threats of deli. vering Europe from thofe pirates, it is n othin g . Let every nation do what France has d((nc and the pkites would be exterminated. The re is no oceaficiii for France to interfere. MO • • jolted ot snag's toriii..l .A. - 1 1 ., ... . 1 4f - •.. - - 6.
