FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 5. ON THE NEGOCIATION WITH RUSSIA. FAOM rill MONITSI7II. The peace of Prefburgh, the treaty of alliance be tween Pruflia and France, and above all, the moral, political, and military confegoences of the battle of Auderlitz, took away entirely from Raffia the power of difturbing the peace of the Continent. This was all that concerned France. We were waiting with as much uncertainty as pa tience, to afcertain what part the Court of RufGA would aft, when M. D'Oabril arrived at Vienna.— This Miniller went to M. de la Rochefoucault, and demanded paffports for Paris. M. de la Rochefoueault waited for authority to grant them. He informed his Court of the demand of the Ruffian Minifler, and received orders to give paffports immediately to M. D'Oubril, becaufe, al though the Emperor never intended to tolerate on the part of Au& an imperious intermeddling in inte rag which are placed out of the fphere of her power, or in difcuffions foreign to her localities, yet he ne vertheiefs &fired a reconciliation beneficial tre both powers. M. D'Oubril arrived at Paris on the gth of July, be proceeded to the Minißer for Foreign Affairs, and after Tome converfation he exhibited full powers which authorifed him, in the moft complete and compre benfive manner, to negociate, conclude, and fign a peace between the two powers. On a report to this effeet being made to the Em. peror, his Majeßy appointed as his Minifler Plenipo tentiary General Clarke, Conniellor of State, and Becreta►y to the Cabinet, whom he authorized to ne gotiate, conclude, and fign, by virtue of powers fi milar to thofe of M. D'Oubril, a peace with the Emperor of Ruffia. The Plenipotentiaries gave themfelvcs up with a conftant and uninterrupted attention to the labours of the million with which they were charged, and at length, after a great number of conferences, a peace was ligned on the loth of July. When the Treaty is known, all Europe will be of opinion that this peace was equally honourable to both Powers. Holtilities were to ceafe immediately, and they did cure on the part of France. The ratifications were to be exchanged on the istk of Ana, and it was not doubted that this exchange would take place, it being known that the negotiators had been for a long time in the confidence of their refpative Sovereigns; they having alto negotiated according to precife in. Stations ; and laßly, they having seed by virtue of complete and pofitive powers, and not, as it happens its Come negotiations, in which negotiators arc sinter- Min whether they have fufficieut powers, under the chute/NV* ratbitationis. M. Ruffin, however, Chancellor of the French Confulate in liufEa, arrived on Wednefday from Pe. terfburgh, and brought intelligence, that in confe quence of a change of Miniflers, the refult of the new principles of the Ruffian Government, and of the extraordinary afcendancy which the Englifh party have obtained, in confequence of this circumilance, in the new Cabinet, the treaty of the soth of July has not been ratified. Thus bollilities between France and RutEa muR recommence. The men who prefide over the quar rels of nations, and who make it their (port to pro long or to on ,, ltiply the fatal periods of war, and the overthrow of States, are quite mad. The conque rors, of Ulm and of Aufterlitz are Rill affembled odder their colours, and near the field of their tri umphs, more numerous and more formidable than ever j from the nature of that organization, which cannot be equalled, and which will never be farpaf fed, they wait with impatient hope for the impetus of the great foul which animates them, Meru agitat me. he, &c. At the fame time nothing can yet give reafon to prefume the renewal of the Continental war. The defliny of States is the feeret of Paovinsucs. Their happinefs and their glory depend upon the wifdom of their rulers In every event, the Emperor, as well as the people of France, are prepared for all chances, and the armies of his Imperial MaidlT wiU be found, where ever it Is neceary to combat, in order to confolidate tranquillity and a lining and glorious peace. FULL POWERS OF M. IYOUBRIL. ed We, Ale/ander I. Emperor and Autocrat of all the Rufsas, &e. kc. &e. (through all the titles of hit Majefly ). ‘ 4 !king situated by a folicitude for the preferva tints of Europe in a Rate of calm and tranquillity, and animated by a fincere defire to put an end to raifunderitanding, and re•eßablifb peace with France on folid bales, we have conlidered it proper to com mit this talk to a perfon enjoying our confidence.— For that purpofe we have nominated, appointed, and authorized our unity and well beloved Pierre Oubril, Connfellor of State, and Knight of the Orders of St. Wolodimir, of the third clafs, of St. Anne of the Second, and of St. John of Jcrufalem, whom we do nominate, appoint, and authorize by thefe prefents, for the purpofe and to the intent of entering into con fe !enc. with the minis or perfons who [hall be pro perly authorized on the part of the French Govern ment, and of concluding and riving with them an ttEt or convention upon Wes proper for the fettle:neat of the peace which is tn be eftablißsed between RolLa and France, and to lay the foundation of peace be tween the other Belligerent Powers of Europe. " We promile on our Imperial word, t 3 take for granted, and to execute faithfully, all that flail be agreed upon and figned by our fvid Plenipotentiary, and alto to give our imperial ratification within the time which (hall be agreed upon. " In teftimony of which we have figned there full powers, and have affixed thereto the feat of our Em pire. " Given at St. Petetiburgh, the Both of April, illto6, and in the 6th year of our reign. (Signed) " ALIZANOSI. (Countertigneci) " Prince ADAM CI•IT•ILT111[1. (Certified to be tranllated conformably to the original) (Signed) " r 'ovaata." SIPTIMItiII 6. FROM TNR ARGUS._ " The Treaty of Peace between France and Rua has not been ratified by the Emperor Alexander. It would be difficult to find out an excufe or a plaufible reafon in the laws of public or private morality, for this Orange refufal. We fee no pretext, nor even any fubterfuge, for ill faith. It cannot be alledged that the Roalan Plenipotentiary Ilepped beyond his autho rity. Never were powers more unlimited given, nor was there ever a promife to ratify a treaty more for mal or more pofitive. A conftant intelligence was remarked in the condi of the negotiations between the Courts of St. Peterfburgh and Lodon, to advance, delay or break them off. The moment the treaty was figned, M. D'Oubril fent a courier publicly to Lon don, to inform the Ruffian Ambaffador of what had kilt taken place. But this might be confidered as the premature notification of a treaty which the Imperial word naturally held out as ratified. In aide circum. (lances, RufGa made extraordinary levies ; England, it is well known, was preparing expeditions ; but upon the Imperial word, it was natural to believe the Treaty would be ratified ; and the Emperor Napo. Icon gave fo far this teftimony of confidence in the good faith of the Emperor of Ruffia, that he direaly iffued orders Tor the ceffation of all hofiilities. This generous precipitancy reminds us of the fending back of the Ruffian prifoners to Paul I. and of thole fent back to his fon lag campaign this continuation of generofity forms a fingular conraft with the perfeve ranee 4.1 hoftile fentiments which the Emperor of Ruffs obferves towards the Emperor of the French, and would alone fuffice to mark the difference of their caufes. " The Emperor Alexander may openly fa forth the new grievances he has aglinft France. Faithful to the principles of the Treaty of Prelburgh, the has only completed its execution. The organization of the Germanic confederation was its inevitable confe quence ; it confecrated the independence of the States which compofe it, irrevocably regulated their relations and put them in harmony with their interells. This afrociation has been long forefeen and called for, as effential to the future rcpofe of Europe. The com• munications made in this rdpeEt between the Mem bers of the Germanic Body had commenced feveral months prior to M. D'Oubril's million to Paris.— The pad was made and known previous to the figna. cure of the Treaty of Peace, and France was in the fame attitude ; (he alone had a right to complain that a Ruffian divifion petrified in the occupation of a neutral territory. " For want of plautible reafons, we may feet for the fecret motive of this rupture ; we mall find it, however, to be no more diaated by the interefl of Ruffia, than it is by the laws of honour and juflice. " For there fifteen years pall a war has been car. vied on againfk France, which has indeed often changed its name or its pretext ; but the conflant aim of which has been to lower or deflroy the French power. However, the obtlacles let againfi her have only ferved as fieps to her elevation; the fate of arms has left no other bounds to her preponderance than her own moderation ; and loch has been her fortune, that the moll obflinate of her enemies law peace as the only refource and the role means of flopping the flight the had taken. At the time of the organization of the new Minifiry, there appeared under their au. fpices at London, a work in which this opinion was laid down in a fpirit which announced, perhaps, lefs the define than the necellity of making peace. Whilfk the author reproached the former Minifiers with their inconfillency, their precipitation, their coalitions ilt formed and ill condueled, he confidered peace as the bet' means of one day attacking France with fuccers• of exiingnifhing by degrees her military fpirit, of ruining her alliances, and repairing the lots of the al. lies ; of concerting more feafible defigns, and of waiting for more favourable «cations. Me Morning Chronic& of she lift and aid, following the fame principles, does not fear to affirm that no power is now able to attack the profperity of France, and ad vifes her enemies to adjourn their rcfentment. Thus, according to the moll moderate writers, the Englilh Governments would never fee any thing in peace but a means of more advan‘ageoufly making war.— The negotiations they open would be fnares, the olive branch they hold out a plifon. Under fuch circum fiances, with fuch enemies, France owes thanks to him, who, penetrating their defigns, has found means to fccure himfelf againft them. But from the fatality ever attached to their plots, after revealing their fe• crets, they have again betrayed their cattle. Their pofition is not more favourable than at the end of haft war. They have neither more fk;lful GeneTals, bet Yr extract' foldiers, not better concerted drfigus.--s If they again find allies on the Continent, they &vote them to certain ruin. The Emperor N .pulesn bas read their thoughts ; be has known how to avail himfelf of the advantages of his vieory; he has been obliged to keep his military attitude ; and, happily for the future tranquillity of Europe, thofe who with only for truces, thole who waited for his fleep, and can keep neither their word nor their treaties, will find him Rill more formidable than in the plains of Aunerlitz." SIPTIMIIII 8. Yefterday his Majefty the Emperor and King re ceived, at a private audience, at the palace of Saint Cloud, his Excellency the Marquis de Lucchefini, Enoy Extraordinary and Minifler Plenipotentiary from his Mejefty the King of Prufria. His Excel lency placated bis letters of recal. After the audience, his Excellency General Kno bleklorff was introduced into the Cabinet of the Em peror, and precented his credentials as Envoy Extra ordinary and Minifler Plenipotentiary from his Ma jetty the King of PrufGa, to his Majefty the Emperor and King. Several hundred Neapolitan prifoners of war are ezpe&ed at Antwerp, to work,with a log at one foot, in the harbour. An American chip arrived at Leghorn, from Can ton, has brought a confiderable quantity of gold, which was obtained at the agio of one to five for filter. A Gazette is fet up here in the Spani(h language. It is Paid that the Grand Military Feftival will now be deferred beyond September. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Av Bottum, Auo. a3.—Mr. Knobelfdorf,..... repairs to Paris as Envoy Extraordinary, was to have gone to Contiantinople as Ambaffador ; this change leaves room to prefume, that Mr. de Knobelfdorf may re main a long time at Paris. Our politicians fpeak al. ready of a journey to be made by the Marquis of Lucchetini ; but the adivity which reigns in our di. plomatic relations, is fo ample a fours: of conjedures that it is not neceffary to add to it. The fudden arrival of PrineeWitgenflein, his Ma- Minitler to the Eleftor of Hale, has given rife to feveral conferences, whence people prefume that a doter alliance is forming between our Court and that of Calla. • Kt ,who ~ Two other Mininers of his Majefty are alto arrived in this city ; to wit, Baron Jacobi Klock, lately ac credited to the Court of London, and Mr. de Cefar, accredited to the Hague. Baron de Haenliere repairs to Drefden, as his Ma jelly's Minider, to confer there with the Elcaoral Miniller, upon the organization of the plan of con ilitution for the North of Germany. Meafures are taken both at Drefden and at Cairel, to for ward this grand plan. Major-Gcneral de Pfuhl has been fent by his Ma. jelly to Brunfwick, becaufe an indifpofition prevent bis Serene Highnefs from repairing hither, in con• Appellee of the invitation fent by hi, Majefty. His Serene Highnefs's arrival has been prematurely an nounced. The exchange of Couriers between Berlin and St. Peterfburgh is more Olive than ever—thefe couriers are the bearers of letters written by the two Sovereigns themfelves. The Prince of Hohenlohe Indelfingen, is going to take the command of the army of Silefia, and his Royal Highnefs Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prullia, will command the one atremblint in the environs of Magdeburgh. The Prince of Baratinfky, Chamberlain to the Em peror of Ruffia, is arrived here from Ruffia. Mr. D'- Arfenieff, Captain in the Ruffian fervice, is let off from Berlin to Drefden. Within thefe few days pall feveral French and Ruffian couriers have pallid through here. Vienna, Aug. a3.—The Diet will be affembled in Hungary, in the courfe of next month, when the balls will be propofed of a new Conflitution, more beneficial to that kingdom. It appears to have no other objeEt than to recompenfe the unflsaken fidelity of the Hungarians towards the Houle of Auaria. Wrist, A tic. 26.—The fortifications of cur town and of the citadel, are going to be confiderably ex tended; the works will immediately begin ; the necef fary materials are cnlleiffing throughout the furround ing countries, and even as far as Holland ; the con tra/ton are fhortly to furnith feveral thoufand bricks. It is laid, that new incidents have given rife to Rome ,diplomatic difcuffions, which have delayed the new arrangements to be taken in the North of Germany. It is added, that propofals have been made to the King of Prullia, for the purpofe of more fully con centrating his States, to give up his poffeffions in Wellphalia, and a part of the country of Hanover, for indemnitie► in Saxony; that EaR Friezland, with the part of Embden, will aggrandize Holland ; that the reft of Weftern Weßphalia will be joined to the States of the Grand Duke of Berg, and that Eatlern Wetlphalia will be given, with a part of Hanover, to the Elaine of Heir!, who, in his turn, will cede the county of Harlan, and a part of his other poffeffions. Luface, and the fovereignty over all the petty Rates of the North of Germany, will alto, according to this plan, devolve to the King of Pruflia, &c. We Roll Bundy know whether there reports have any foundation. Some travellers lately come from R‘,Cria a nnounce that ft...:m.St. Peter:burgh to Ruffian Poland, there are different camps of troops, and that many maga. lines have been eflablifired along that road. Letters from Drefden announce that feveral circles of the EleCtorate of Saxony have demanded the Aar). lifhment of the Provincial Militia, and that the Mi. nillers arc fettling a plan for this purpofe. The pre fent period is highly favourable to this plan ; for the fiagnation in molt of the manufattories of Simony has left a confiderable number of workmen only the rcfource of military fervice. Nart.ls, Auo. 17.—The chiefs of a confpiracy which tended to nothing lets than to murder all the friends of the French, were arretted the very night their plot was to have been put in execution ; via. the Reverend Father Anthony de Cutro, a Francifcan Friar; Pirantonia Mellica, Andrew Solis, and Mi chael Albanefe. Their whole correfpondence and the other pr •o's of their horrible fcheme were feized upon Upon being tried before the Military Commiffion of Callel-Nuovo, they were found guilty, and condemn. ed to death on the tith intl. This fenfence was exe cuted the following day.—Monaewr A'afroGtaix.

PARIS JOURNALS. To the Bth inftant, inclufive, have been received. The extrads which we have given from the Mos./tor -will be read with interell. Notice has at length been taken in that journal of the refufal of At.txaaDaa to ratify M. D'Ousar l.'s Treaty ; and the French Go vernment, in the comments which they have given, betray no (mall chagrin at the event, mingled with an affefed hauteur, which ill conceals the difappointment. They aferibe, the cireumflance to the confiquencn of the change of Minßr, the new principles of the R s ffean Go vernment, and the extraorimary afiendaney whiiimbe En:U . 4 party bad the steklnyi to obtain over the new Cabinet." This amounts to a dire& acknowledgment, that the influence of the Britifh Government on the affairs of the Continent is not reduced to that Rate of infignifi cance which the Moniteur had been for Come tittle pro claiming with fo much confidence, and that the Em• peror ALSIASIDIA is not difpofed to give to NAPC.• LION that deference which has been fo loudly boafted in that Journal. While the French Government can not hide the mortification which it has received, it af. feels to (peak as if Bo AAAAAA a was willing to agree to a reconciliation with Ruffia,but entertained no appre henfion for her power or oppofition. It is Paid that " The Emperor was always determined not to fifer Ruffia imperioafly to interfere in intereßs placed beyond the fphere of her power, and in difeulEons foreign from her local fituation." It is obferved too, that " by the political and military confequences of the battle of Aullerlitz, Ruffia was placed in complete impoffibility of dillurbing the repofe of the Continent. This was all that was important to France." Na verthelefs, however, Tome apprehenfinn of the oppo fition of Ruffia (hews itfelf. A boaßing infinuatioa is thrown in of what the conquerors of Ulm and Auflerlitz can do if they are again called into Aim). The article continues--" At the fame time nothing can yet give reafon to prefume (encore faire prifumer) the renewal of the Continental war. The defliny of States is the fecret of PROVIDLna. Their happinefa and theirglory depend upon the wifdom of their rulers. In every event the Emperor, as well as the people of France, are prepared for all chances, and the armies of his Imperial Majefly will be found, wherever it is neceffary to combat, in order to confolidate tranquil- lity and a lafling andglorious peace."—From the tone of this article, it is pretty obvious that the nature of the rapprochement with Rufßa, which the French Go vernment defired, was very different from the princi , pies which thi Emperor ALIX•IID11 had adopted, and to which he is determined to adhere. The Arism alfo prefents a long article upon the non ratification of D'Ou aaix's Treaty. The fum of the reafoning in that paper, as well as in the Monitnir, amounts to a compliment to our prefent Minillers, far from being intended by our adverfaries. They will not allow that the Treaty was rejeeted becaufs embracing principles not warranted by the powers entrulled to D'O yetis, but maintain that its reje.lioa was occafioned by the " extraordinary afcendancy which the Englilh party have obtained over that Ruffian Cabinet." They publifh a copy of the Fil'l Powers of M. D'Ouotta to conclude a Treaty; but they have not (hewn the Treaty itfclf, to enable ihe world to judge whether it really was concluded ,4 upon principles calculated to confolidate the peace which may hi
