" The onderGinod Plenipotenthry of his Britannic lifale^v. thinks it neceffery. In fore he enters upon the negotiation &dually pending between his Sovereign and the Court of France, brkay to retrain- tso eircumilantes which have produced It. In the mean time, he confider. it as Lemming that franktrefs and linearity, which, as Plenipotentiary of his Britarnie Majefty, be is deter mined to praelice, to declare that the principle which France her. felf orluinally groveled, is the only hafet on which he can cadent, to nq.eciate t as well as to define the nature of the difeullion on which be is ready to enter. " The Itrong and ener7etie hrgnage which the Frei ch Govern• went em (toyed, three months liner, to exprele its dam of peace, while it it fpired his Malelly with a confidence In the linearity of the C urt of Prance, ceded no fniall degree of regret that the pro pot ion to treat with him, and fiperately from hie Allier, appear ed to prevent both France and 'torsional from profiting of this fa vourable difpdfition of their refmellve Govennnents. as it would be impoflible for lila Britannic ).lajelly, unlefs he [averred from that good faith which he has always mac ifeiled. to treat other wife than is conjunaion with his Ally the Emteror of Ruflh. a Since that time, his levialelly found that intervening circuits- Bonen which It I. not neediary to detail in this piece, allowed hint to engage. In a Irfarare treaty, it was with grrat pleafure that he rerelvell the propoliticn to tree generally, on the balls of the eel plikth, to be fcrupulucily obfined, except in the cafe of Ha. nover, which it la proputcd should be ceded to hi. Majafty with• out any referee " 1 his propofition, I: Is true, was not In a direct way, nor by the channel of any accredited naoißrr ; its authenticity, however, I could nut admit of the lead douitt " Independent of the authority which it received from the cha ndler of the perfon employed to crimonmicate it, It appeared to he In parted agreement with that which has been prcv:oully of. fired. The Imspemr d set not entertain a with for any of the prdeffions of England! Such an avowal made at the very begin ning of the Coe refpondence between the two Courts, was the na tural prelude to fuch a propolition. " His Majelty raariled the ettßon of Hanover as a proof of the Writ ufjuillce, in which the propofitinn had been conceived, becaufe this Eltdorate, though it was uecupird upon a Inputted Indemnity of interetts and mrafures, pared, la for nothing, in the differences which ocuslioned the prekmt war • and be view , ed, in the principle till they recognised as the gemet hafts of no. lodation (a halls particularly adapted to the relative Otuetion of the two parties) what he caldera' to be a proof, that France was as Oreerely dllpoled as Great Ratan, to put an end to an order of things, equally prejudicial to the intcretts of the two countries. . _ . . . " In fact, it appeared to his Majelty to be the only principle or. which the negotiation could be brought to an happy toncluften.— From the nature of theft intereff s In which the raped:live parties particlpited, It could net be expedled that a fatiofoertory arrange. meet could be made, in the way of reciprocal rellitution, by the reltoration of their refpeElive acquifitions; while, on the other hand, the principle of the aritlfirrir naturally pufented itfelf, as off, ring the means of putting an end to the unfortunate bethinks between the two nations, both of whids are in poffanin of esb.n. Awe and Important calques, both u to territory and Influence: France on the Continent of Europe,andCreat Britain in the other pa. to of the world. " Tbia feet appeared Rill more ftrileing to his Majefty, on eon • fidering that larth nations had *Maned an afloat poffefilon in their ' refpedive acquilitioes, wields could not experience any material akerattea from the cootinuanee of the war; the frneriority of the naval force of Great Britain being, according to all appearance, no Ids firmly eltabliftted on the lea than that of the armies of France on the Continent of Eumpe. " It was under the imprellon which there refl-ttlans naturally produced, that his Majefty moll willingly accepted the ',tonna- dos for treating on the new principle of the Nt‘ ?Alai', with the refervation due to the fobutting conneCtion with the Emperor of 1 Rutile ; and as a proof of hi• fincerity, he made choice of the perfon by whom We CODITUDICAtft , 4I had been made, to announce the alacrity with which he acceded to the boas prorated for the conclution of a treaty. The undedigned is by co means difpcded to conceal the fatisfaellon that his Majefiy has derived from the I pleating pro(pcd of fpeedily reltoring the: biellings of peace to his i tubjcdta on pit and equitable principles, and which are conform• able to the honour of tits Crown ; nor of the regret which he ex perienced, when at the very 1110111Crt that Ills Majefty bad ac ceded to the principk which was offered for his acceptance, that pried* was tuildenly abandoned by the demand to evacuate and reftorepielly, a demand which has not been modified in any other way than by projeets of Indemnity to his Sicilian Majefty, which were equally infuncient and Inadmiffible.

No pro pnfitiun of this natwe having been yet made, the litalerfigned de ' clans that he caanet confect to treat on any other principle than the off plideis, as originally propofed to his Sovereign by the Court of France. In the mean time he expreffis Ida with, that It may he perfeftly underßood, that the adoption of this rind& will not prevent hies. from littering to any prep onion for a kilt and fatiefaCtory indemnification to Me Sicilian Majefty for the cef- Soo of Sicily I not from accepting any propofal for an exchange of territory between the Coe:trading Pasties, (m principles of julticc, and fuck as may tend to the reciproc.l advantage of the two countries. 0 the UndcrOgned conceives, that Mice t►e ati fraffartit has heen pupa. d by the Court of France, peace Las been concluded between France and the Emperor of Aura, and, conicqucody. t►at the relative &maim between the two countries I, no longer the fame.

If. tittle, this principle appeared It' and reafonabli before. it cannot fail at prefent, according to own views if the Mica, to hr Rill more favourable to the interefts of France, than thok of the Brities Empire. 0 The underligned thinks It neteffary to obferre, that although France may look forward to other acquifiloos on the Continent of Europe, Ma Majefty, the King of Great Britain and Ireland, may, with equal juftice, bare limiter views In other parts of the warld,and which wilt be of infinite Importance to the commerce and ftrength of bin empire ; and confequently that he 'Cannot, confiftently with the inures of hit people, nor the honour of his crown, nerciate upon any principle of inferiority, either declared or rappelled. He cannot treat upon any other tooting, than the prefumptions, that a continuance of hoßilities in equally difadvane tageous to both parties. 'There can be no reafun whatever' to. furpore, that the conqueßs which his Mikity propofes to keep by the peace could be taken front him by the war,and the under figned muR Fame that the bet proof which tan begiven of the equity of the halls on which it Is woofed to treat, mart be found In the eircumflance that they were offered by France on the open hag of the communication between the two Governments, which has produced the maim wherein hit Sovereign has employed him conjointly with Lord Yarmouth. (Signed) ° Paris, Auguß 6,184. (No. ne.) The underfignedi Mhiliter Plenipontentlary of his Majefty the Emperor and King of Italy, has hid before the eyes at his Government. the Note fent yefterday by his Excellency Lord Lauderdale Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majelty. Hig Maielty the Emperor and King of Italy, could not but be painfully affsdied, to fee that a negocia. ion. which ha, &kaki, been the °bled olio many tonferences—which has occafioned the dlr. patch of fo many couriers on both fides--which was, in (bort, con cluded to its maturity, Ihould fuddenly have taken a retrograde coerce, fo as even to prefent °Mack., not in the nature of the fii pulationi, but even in the very hafis on which the negotiation was opoletl. The Court of Prance baa conflaltly refofed to admit in the fame negociation the Courts of England and of RufGa; and what- ever dare his Majeity the Emperor and King may have to fee the amend peace loon ertablifhed, there it no confideration which could have induesd him to violate this principle of his &Mel, the negociations that France had commenced at St Pe terthurgh. had cuovinccd hi. Mildly the Emperor and Klog. that the Englifh Cabinet were under a deltafion, as to the nature of th. it tonneetions wills Rultia. " After many months dircuffion, the Cabinet of London yielded upon that point, and his Excellency the Earl of Yarmouth arrived publicly at Calals,and then at Paris, to treat about peace. He had, from his arrival in that capital. conferences with hi. Excellency the hi Miller of Foreign Affairs, after having previoully informed him, that be was duly authorifed by his Government. " Since that epoch, Raffia has co-cluded its peace with France. The underligniter has been named &Unifier nenirrentiary, to treat with the Pknipntentiary of his Britannic Majetty t— and the hilt Rep was an exchange of hie powers with thole of his k accl ivity the Merl of 1 arniouth, whom be had a right to believe. It his full powers exprefs, authorized to treat, conclude, and five a &tinkly, treaty bet weep Franceand the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Irdand. " Very fresnent conferences, the greater part of tbent for many hours, lave Once taken place between, the two Plenipotentiaries. who being of good faith on both fides, applied themfelves to fmootb all difficultlee, and laid aflde every thing which could tend to Irritation, or to catharrafs or retard uf.derely, the ptogrefs of the negociation. " Inftesd of exchanging Notes, more or lefs likilful.but which remove from, rather than approach the oiled to he obtained— inflead of commencing dude eontroverfies in welting. which are nut Ids prejudicial to humanity than open boilable.. add wb!cle prolong the miferies of nations—and, above all, .infitesd of sego rioting a peace in the mamer thi t war la made, the Plenipoten tiaries managed with frank nefs the eoafertnces, in which his Ma 3eity the f mpernr and King gr - nted all that he could ram with-. out lnfing fight of the dignity of bit Crown, his love for his people, and the inter...as of his allies. " Never will his Majeftrbe reduced to other further& " Does not the eourfe taken by his Excellency the Earl of Lau derdale, the new Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Mikity, appear to annotioce, that a multitude of Notes would not be tufEtient even for the two Governments to underhand one soother? and is there oot evidently a danger, that by pwfuing filch a courfe, o( which the abide has been fo mullet% hi our time, that they will underhand o,ie another hill Ids than they do at prefect ir there I, no other with but to create document. which may afterwards be thewn to the Parliament of Great Britain. his Mikity the Emperor feels no fuch nectlity. It is peace which he dearest that peace equally hunouralfic to Prance, to Great Britain, and their Allies which the 'Adman and mutual labours of the te fpedivc Plenipotentiaries had made acceptable to the two Go. v_riuncots. Neverthelefs, to thew to the eyes of all, his love for Jaftice and the lineally of his pacific fentlenents. and that it may be truly 1111.1%, a to whom every hindrance to the prove(' of the negocia tlol ought to be attributed, his Majelly the Emperor and King has deigned to permit the Undrrligned to difcuf. here the main quer. lion relative to the hafts of Oak negociatioa, already advanced, and upon the point of being terminated. In the letter written to his Exoelleney Mr. Fox, on the tft of April, by his Excellency the French Minifter of Fortign Affairs, that Mirilfter announces, that his Majefty the Emperor and King adopted entirely the principle laid down in the difpatch of his Excellency Mr. Fox, of the sfith of March, and prefeoted as the bafis of the negociation, that the propohd peace ought to be ho pourable for the two Courts, and for their refpeElive Allles.' " In his letter of the ad of June, to his Excellency Mr. Fox, his Fxcelkney the Mlnlfter of Foreign Affairs went Rill farther. He propofed, lu the name of his Majelly the Emperor and king, to eitabilll foe bates two fendamental principles ; the Srft taken from the letter of Mr Fox, of the 26th of March, to wit, that the two States ibould have for their objed, that the peace °mold be honourable for them and their refpedive Allies, at the fame time that the peace (Mould be of loch a nature, as to knot, as far as they could, the future repok of Europe.' The fecund principle was, a recognition in favour of both powen, of the right of In terference and guarantee, both for continental and maritime at. fain.' • Such were the bares adoptrd by the &kith Government, and agreed to by It. It never could have come Into the contemplation of ids Majelly the Emperor and King, to take for the hafts of the negotiation the wirlperis. If tuch had been his ideas, he would have kept Moravia, a part of Hungary, Styria. Carniola, Croa. tia, the whole of Außria, as weD as Its capital; Teeth and Flume, and the (holes furrounding them, would be now under his poorer, as wellas Genoa and Venice. However, Ofnaburgb, and sU the mouths of the great rivers in the North of Germany,would be fubjeel to his Empire; and certainly then hi, Majt fly night, vrithoot any di•culty, leave the Cape, Surinam, Tobago. St. Luck, Pondicherry, Zee. in the hands of his Britannic Majefty. As to Sicily, even upon that hypothefis, his Majefty the Fm • peror and King would not have lett It to his enemies; bat his Majefty would have thought only that the tongued of that ifland ought to have preceded the opening of the negotiations ; and while Pruilba and Rues bloc guaranteed and recognized the changes which have taken place in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilia, way it to be prefurned thu teglandtoold have been able to prevent the congaed of Sicily, which Is only feparated from the Continent by a canal or Ida than 2003 toifes . Suppoling even that the Cape and Surinam, and other Dutch polTeffirms, could be detached definitively feces the kingdom of Holland, Is it nut certain that its hicorporstbin the French kmplre would have been the necelfary confrquence; Af the refufal'l of England to reitore to it its colonies What means would there be, in feel, to prefervc a nation which had nothing but debts, and from which the milt abfence of commerce would remove every, means of payment) Whatever their Excellencies the Pleuipmes duties of his Britannic Majelly may alledge, it Is ImPoffible that they thoald not be convinced, that it is a thing extremely ditfr rent . for Great Britain to fee th e Tele!, and the mouths of the Rhine and Metfe, fulled to the French cultism-hook laws, and to fee them fuirjedt to thofe'of the Dutch. Thus, then, without the real. tution of its colowcs, Holland would, of neccifity, become a pro vince of the French F.nipire; for, In accepting the Ctowu Of liol. land, Prince Louis formally declared his intention of renouncing It, ifthc , Dutch colonies Mould not be rellored at the general peace. " let Hanover, moreover, become a province of France: let Trielte, Fiume, and their territories, become in like manner,priw einem of the kingdom of Italy; and let Great Britain keep in corn. pentition the Cape, Surinam, Malta, Pubdieherry, &c.

(Signed) CLAUS." • • (N. t 5.) " The Underfigned Plenipotentiaries of his Brim. nit Majefly do not think they fhould allow themfelves to eater into a detailed confideration of the rfificial note, which has been fent to them, on the part of his Excellency General Clarke, dated the Bth of Art gull. After the manner in wh;ch the different points that are the furl of that note. are ther e treate d, i t would be impo ible for them to difcufs them with that ealmnefs and that regard due to forms, which the charter with which they are eloathed by their Sovereign requires. But the (tibial of this note is of a nature fo general, and fo foreign to the objeft im mediately in queftion, that it would be regally oft left to take it into confideration. at the prefent time. " The Underfigned, the Earl of Lauderdale, far from thinking that the manner of dikuffing in writ. ing the fundamental point. of a negotiation, can by any means increafe the difficulty of coming to an underfianding, thinks, on the contrary, that be al ready perceives manifefil proofs of its • utility in this, that the official note prefented by him fince his arrival has led the negotiation to an unequivocal iffue, and has put an end to the mifconceptiont (no doubt real ones) which have taken place, and which could never have exilled, if the fame method had been adopted fince the commencement of the negotiation. " The Underfigned, the Earl of Yarmouth. fees himfelf obliged to recur to the manner in whieh it has been given to be undertiond that he has landed at Calais, clothed with a public charafter, to treat about peace. He has only come over to give, in petfon and viva voce, the anfwer to a communication which he had been requelled to make to the Englifh Go vernment, founded upon the bafi of the ufi pffidetir film the following words of his Excellency, M. De Talleyrand : " We demand nothing from you," which were accompanied by the pofitive affurance that the reflitution of his Majetly's German poll - e 1. .- lions would experience no refiftanee. The fame fen genera is fobad equally expreted in 'the letter of M. De Tailwind to Mr. Fox, dated the ill of April : The Emperor has nothing to. &fire of what Eng land podeffes." ea the Earl of Yarmouth thinks bimfelf equally bound not to pars over in Menke the remarks med. by his Excellency, General Clarke, on the fabie4 of the delay in the negociation, and. of the frequent intercoorfe by Couriers. Thcatifwers of hit Britan• nic /Nay hate always been frank and ready I ani if the number of Couriers has been contidesible. it can only be attributed to caufes with which his Ma jelly is not acquainted. " The Underflgned the Le,r..4..

The converfations allioded to confillid, on the pan of the French Pleniponn. tiarY, in requiring what the underfigned, Lord Yar mouth, has uniformly declared in:4ll74Eoe ; and no the pan of Lord Yarmouth to cunfioe hinifelf with. in the limits, of the vii 'frojukrir. as the intirnelions from hia (government did not authorize hire to itclimit any other bafis of negotiation, a Da& fuggetled by France, in the communication made by Lard Yar. mouth, and previoufly announced in fd.Talleyrand'a letter of the ill of April '• The underfigned, the Lords Lauderdale and Yarmouth, think it necelLuy to repeat now the rea. ii I
