The latenel of the hour at which the French pa• pen reached us yeaerday prevented us from laying before oar veaders any part of their contents, except the conefpoodence between the French and Britifb Governments on the fubjed of a pacification.— This day we inkrt again Lord Mucceays's Letter to the French Minifter for Foreign Affairs, beeaufe in a few copies of our paper yeflerday it was not given. The following is the letter : MITTS' MIX LORD 1111ULOR4VII 'TO M. TALLITRAND, lIIIIISTRII 101 FOREIGN ♦77AIIf. His Majstry has received the letter which has been addreffed to him by the head of the French Go. amount, dated the sd of the prefent month.— There is no objea which his Majeßy bas more at heart than to avail himfelf of the fir( opportunity to procure again to his Subjeits, the advantages of a Peace, founded on a bafis which may not be in compatible with the permanent fecurity and effential intereits of his States. His Majeßy is perfuaded, that this end can only be attained by arrange ments, which may at the fame time provide for the future filet y and tranquillity of Europe, and pre vent the recurrence of the dangers and calamities in which it is involved. Conformably to this fenti. anent. his Majetly feels that it is impoffible fur him to anfwer more particularly to the overture that has been made him, until be (ball have had time to com municate with the powers of the Continent, with whom he is engaged in confidential conneEtions and relations, and particularly with the Emperor of Ruf fin, who has given the arongett proofs of the wifdom and elevation of She fentiments with which he is animated, and the lively interett which he takes is the (day and independence of Europe. (Signed) " 11111141AVIL" In the preceding coltunnej our readers will find other important details relative to this bofinefs. The letter from Bosantare, as our Readers would ob ferve, contains general profeffions of &fire of peace, and declamations on the vanity of war ; mixed up, however, with a good deal of confident fellfuffici encY, that moderate the condefcenfion of the appli cation. Lord Mace:eaves letter Rates what his Idajeßy's Speech from the Throne already informed is, that his Majeßy could at prefent return no other anfwer to the communication than that he fhould fub mit it to the Powers of the Continent, with whom he was engaged in confidential intercourfe and corref pondence, particularly the Emperor of Ruffia. M. Santa, in pretesting there papers to the Le. gillative Body, introduced them with a fpecch that Saws that the French Government are by no means pleated with the anfwer they received. It is again denied that there is any chance of a coalition on the Continent, and that even Ruffia will enter into the war upon our fide. It is raid that within there kw days BOMAIPAITA has received the mai exprefs affurances of the amicable difpofitions of the King of Paussia sad the tmperor of Genially ; and in a word, it is dined that the expeitations of continental co-oper ation are mere chimeras. M. Sacra conc:udes with raying, that u it only remains for French braver y to difplay its whole energy, and to triumph at lati over that eternal enemy of the liberty of the teas, and the repofe of nations." It is manila, indeed, from the whole tenor of this fpeech, and from the bitternefs which pervades it, that the French Government are extremely defirous to hold out this Government as utterly averfe to peace; and BONAPaITI avails himfelf of this occa. fion to perfuade the people of his defire of peace— and probably he may derive Tome credit from his late overture. The Moniker, in Notes as from the Editor, con tains a number of comments on the King's Speech, in the fame fpirit and almolL in the fame words with M. Setwa's Speech. One fad h alerted, viz. that a Negociation had been on foot between this Country and Sweden, and that the latter demanded upwards of a million and a half for zo,ooo men; terms with which, however, this Government would not comply; and that the KING of Paussta declared, that the moment fuch a Treaty was concluded, he would take poffeffion of Pomerania. The following is the principal pelage : 44 You (the Britilh Government) have received pacific overtures. You have not thought proptr to accept of them. Well then, continue to keep watch on your hillocks, tranfport your artiaaos to the camp, coaxed flying chariots, fabricate pikes, dig entrench ascots, inundate your lands, it is neverthelefs cer tain that every fquadron that leaves our ports may do you mifchief to whatever point it is defined.— While France is unattackable•on every fide, you are vulnerable in England, in Scotland, in Ireland, in In-' tea, in America, in a word, in a thoufand places ; we may Like a blow againaorhieb you mud guard is order to maintain the potation in which yon are oow placed. " We will confers it ; fince this is the inconteßa hie Rate of things, we cannot divine the motives which induced the Cabinet of the Thuilleries to make you prepaid.. Neverthelefs, from oor know ledge of the intrepid charafter, bold in the field, moderate in the Cabinet, of that Prince, the role au thor of the brilliant deltinies of our country, he mull have confidered that a eruggle, cerju-d-corfrio in whatever part of the world it takes place, would produce infinite mifery, and that fuch calamities would be ufelefs to the profperity of a State which he thinks fufficiently great and lirong. Betides what has he not done in your cafe %%hid, he did not do for merly, before he pallid the Drave, on his march to Vienna, a.td which he did not do fome months before the battle of Marengo ?" Our Readers need hardly be reminded that cceval with the overture for peace, which, contained not the lean project or hint of a hafts on which to proceed, the celebrated Expo/se of Cii veracity appeared in the Med ieur in which Bow paltry. pledged himfelf to make no peace but the Peace of Amiens. And to this the over • tore, (ince we have now authority for calling it one, moll evidently referred his Ma; airy, by pretending " that no caufes for war exilled, that no difcuffions were neceffary, but that all that was to be done was to filence the pallions, and' to liften to the voice of humanity." We cannot but applaud, however, the temperate and prudent terms in which Lord Mut.- GRAVII replied to the letter from the head of the French Government—terms which certainly merited a ltile of comment very different fi om that employed by the French orators. A letter under date of the 11l inftant, from Lilbon, poGtively alferts, that a State Meffenger was on board the packet, on a million to the Englifh Government from Spain, and that the Spanifh Government paper at Lifbon, fell, in confequence, from 14 to to per cent. difcount. With refpeft In the arrival of a State Mellinger from Spain, we have made particular en quiry, and we believe the (tory to be totally unfound. ed, males, indeed, the perfon alluded to has come over in a mercantile charACter. It is undoubtedly true, that the variations fisted in the difcount of the Spanifh Government paper did aftually take place ; but it was afcribed to the pacific overtures from France, alluded to in his Majefty's Speech, on the meeting of Parliament. Letters of the loth of January, from Madrid, Rate that the Duke d'lrraur•oo, belonging to one of the Nobleß Families in Spain, and another Nobleman of equal rank, have been difmiffed the Court, in conic quence of fome reprefentations they made refpeUing the condua of the Prince of Peace. It is Bated, in letters from Barcelona, that the two Mr. Glossa Ts, of that place, one of them ailing in the capacity of Britifh Vice Conful, have been fent to the chat:el ; and an Englnman refident at La Sella, in the vicinity of the Bay of Rads, has (hared the fame fate : they were atrefted on the fuppofition that they gave intelligence to the Englith fquadron, and otherwife favoured the Englith. We learn from Cadiz, by letters of the 18th of January, that the blockade of that place is continued by Sir JOHN ORDE, with the greateft tignur. When the latt adviceb came away, Lhe feveral Confuls lon : ;ing to the Neutral Powers, at Cadiz, had fen; letters to Sir JOHN ORM, requefting to know " wk. thcr neutral yards would be permitted to leave the ports of Spain unmolefled ?" but owing to the blow ing weather at the time, an immediate anfwcr was not expelled. By forma. letters, we were informed of Sir. jowl; ORrik'S intention on this fubjeet. He caufed it to be made known to all veffels met by our cruizers going into Cadiz, that as they were unacquainted with the blockade they might pals, but that they would not be fuffered to return with cargoes ; and as loon As these was futficient time allowed for velfels of all na tions to be informed of the blockade, no veffcls what ever would be permitted to enter the blockaded ports. The following is an extra of a letter from Gro ningen, dated January 28: ▪ The following notice to the Mercantile Body was lately publifhed here, at the inftance of the French Staff Officer reading in this city : ' The Corn Factors of this city are to take notice, that, by virtue of orders from high authority, no wheat, barley, oats, or other grain of that nature, is permitted to be exported ont of the country, without the exprefs perrniffion of his Excellency, M. de Si seosivit.t.t, Ambandor of his Majefty the Emperor of the French, to the Batavian Government ; nor is it allowed that there articles he tranfported to France, without leave had and obtained from M. GCllti, Comeniffary •of Commercial Relations of France at Amflerdam. Direel application mull be made to the above mentioned Gentlemen, dating the quantity and qua lity of the grain to be exported, the names of the (hips, and their Captains, with the place of thcir def. tinat ion. • The captain of The (hip is required, on his return, to produce a certificate, figned by the French or Ba tavian Commiifary in the neutral port at which the Ibip (hall have difchargeds or, if no fuch officer happen to refkie there, it mull be furnithed by the magillrate of the place. • This 'mature, and the fame formalities, extend to butter, cheefe, felt meat, and prorihons in gene ral, whic h might principally fare for ifettallingour common enemy."
