As all Europe Was tranquil 'zed by the benefits of that memorable Treaty, what ,intereft or what right had a Power, who did not with to interfere in the negotiation, who, unlefs for the fake of anhnofity or ambition, was at that time en tirely feparated from all the contracting States, to Talk its voice in behalf of a Treaty which was foreign to it, and which had for its guarantee the greatell Powers of the Continent? Is this a contempt of thole Powers? Is this a pretenfion of European fupretnacy, or rather is it not an expreflion of regret that it can not now prevent Europe from being . at peace by the force of a Treaty which it was not in the power of England to hinder?" " That it is not incumbent on the French Goverla ' rnent to be informed of the Englifh Conflitution—it has reafon to think, however, that the Englith Go vernment is not adequately (killed therein, at le aft as far as relates to the political and civil laws of the Liberty of the Prefs ; for no Country fhcruld be 111 governed by a Conflitution which, by fundamental laws, authorifes incenfed and ferocious men to ex• port to revolt, and to murder the inhabitants of foreign Countries --Neverthelef., whatever may be the limitations of the Public Authority in thefe re fpeas, the French Government never manifefted a defire to proceed in the way afferted—lt complain. ed, but without effea, of the numberlefs outrages it received, and at length was content to agree that what was authorized in thole refpeats in England with regard to France, thould be permitted, in the latter Country, with regard to England." [The writer, in animadverting upon thole confi derations, concludes with a Philippic againfl the good faith and moderation of the Englillt Government which lindlies all, he Pays, 4 , by retaining Malta and declar ing War.") , 6 The ] ngliffi Government, always mho, always wooleraie, uniformly guided by fentiments of honour, and careful to maintain the Parity of its Ades. retains Malta, and declares war. What are its grieft ? and on the other hand, what are the wrongs of France ? We have expored, we have explained them ; but we ought here to repeat, that of all the complaints of England, the only ones which fhe Rates as tattles of *ar, are the three lag which we have enumerated * viz. ill, The execution of the loth Article of the Treaty of Amiens. ad, An extraft from the Ham burgh Journal. 3d, The report of Colonel Steal- TIAN!. England affirms it ; fhe had not a more diftant motive For the declaration of war; -it is true, that at a time much farther back than either of thefe three complaints, the Englith Government tent a counter order not to evacuate the Ca a, and that this meafure was deci fi vely indicative of manifeß intention to renew the war. Then the fecret of the Fs a srCosessn's visa.: againß the Turks was not developed r . the in trim/live letter, No. 38, and the report of Colonel fizaarriast, ad not then cleared up to the world the deltruaive projeas of France. But what will deduaions or reafons do, or even proofs themfelves, againft an vowel* declaration of his &site Mates rr, who has declared that he has wadi in eonfequence of a demand to execute the Treaty of Amiens upon a conferfation with LordWieetworrn, upon an article in a German Journal, and upon Se *MIAMI'S Report ? He mutt be beftriod then.— Thus, Weenie the French GRTRTINISROt demands the orectuion of the Treaty of Annals, the latiletnanGo vernment de ftroys that Treaty. Bread e Gazetteers have printed, that it was lop autberit they printed an article, wherein Europpee was' that the FIRST CON svt. denied two falfebooda treat nutted to Parliament by order of the Elea of Ewa. LAND, that Sovereign expreffes hirafelf offended with France. Becaufe the Minillers den, that Lotd Wittrvrorru has rendered them an account of . a converfatioa, in which they pretend, that the FIRST CONSUL has laid, that the duration of the Torkifh ' Empire would not be eternal, and that the Gump Setausoa might one day cede Egypt to France, they pretend to make Europe believe, that the fafety of the Turk& empire is threatened by France. Bemire a French Colonel has written that the Mamelukes were excited and fupported by England, and that the Porte entertained diarnft and alarm on account of the nay of the Etigliftt army in Ept, the Eng liftt bfinitlers think they have a ri ght to fay that France has calumniated the Engli Government, and that it is France that entertains ambitious and boftile defigns againft the Ottoman empire. In fine, becaufe the Ottoman empire is threatened, the Eng lint Midifters pretend to quiet the alarms ache Poste, on account of its ill fubdued Magsalakes, rebellious Pachas, and dircontente'd Greeks, by pre&dag to itc In the moment of its diner. the pirfpwgive of the fpeedy fuecour of an Enghtli fqsadron, which, la tba courfe of a week, might bring to its capital arab* army of deliverers, Inch as thole whci *itched over the Nabob of the Camatic during rhiliti moments of his life, who put his fun into onion, where be died, and who potre&d thernfelves of his inheritances.- Stich is the logic of the Declaration we have bee* commentiai upon . Let us retire for a mornentfrom this crooked path of difguifes,. pretenfions, and lies s• this is what England has Paid ; this is what tie isaitir willing to acknowledge. The Englilli Government, in making peace, fubmitted to the voice of the peo ple, to the fhame of remaining is the rear of other nations, to the fear of finding herfelf a long time alone in the bloody field, where fo much evil and ruin had been heaped up by• its barbarous policy, and its obltinate and inhuman inftigations. " After the Peace, England law that the war bad colt her dear, ansi that the acquilition of Ceylon and Trinidad were not fulficient to fatisfy her national pride, to recompence her for the expenditure of pro digious treafures, and abate her envy excited by the grandeur and glo of France. She has repented of 11 7 the Peace ; the is aced in a double fituation ; having (hewn pacific di pofitions. and taken hollile mea bras, the has protefted her defire to preferve Peace, and invented pretences to break it. In thefe mat lures, in the fpeeches of her bfinilters, in their di plomatic correfpondence, it is vifible they have sifted a double part, to arrive at a violent conclufion, and to exculpate thetnfelves from having . entertained Inch a projea. But in theft meafures, in the fpeeches of thefe Minifiers, in their diplomatic correfpon&roce, this projett has fitewn Wolf every :anent. The Etwo's Speech, after the Peace, was a profeffion of millru* of the Peace. The fpeeches of the Minifters during the whole SetSoa of Parliament, have been prof ors of asiltruft of the continuance of Peace. The counter o:der to retain the Cape of Good Hope, is a pofitive declarati, of a defirein break the peace. to fine, I the delay in evacuating Egypt was an holttle determi nation; and the reftsfal to evacuate Malta was an ab. folute violation of the Difinitive Treaty. What was the object of England in remaining in Egypt ? It was fo great, that all pail humiliation difappeared before 1 it. To keep Alexandria, was to poffefs a politton as remarkable as important, and the only poll which exited from Tunis to Con Ilantinople. The dykes of the canal bad been broken, the lake Mareotis much (welled, and Alexandria had become an impregna ble place. From Alexandria they could fupport the revolt of the Beys, affift in rendering them indepen dent, excite them fuccetllvely one againft the other, and keep up in Egypt an age of diffention and anar chy. Alexandria would have been another Bombay; and the Beys, like the Nabobs, divided, would have I trembled at the power of England. From this to the unbounded projeas of commerce, of deftrottion, of ufurpation, there was nothing but the chance of time to exped. and the alrnoft certain tifk of the blindnefs of the nations of Europe, if France had not been fo elear-fighted as to develope thefe projeas. —The voyage of Colonel SEBASTIAN' had given the fir( alarm. What ravings! what outrages ! what complaints! upon the report of that voyage. Eu rope is not yet fo fenfelefs as to believe, that the pub lication of a report to the FIRST CONSUL, and of the complaints made upon the conduct of an Englifli General in regard to a French Colonel, could have caufed fuch great clamoar, if the bitter regret at feeing a raft ambition unveiled had not they. n itfelf in the expreffinn of a vain and ridiculous fufceptibi. lity The projects were well conceived. It would colt England only a garrifon of 4000 men in Alex andria, and two or three millions of expence, to ex• cite mifunderflandings amongft the Beys. It is true, that in order to enfure fuccefs, it was neceltary that the Flair Consul. fhould !hut his eyes upon what palled in Egypt; and it was in this refpea that Eng. land proved deficient in &relight. But dilconcerted upon this point, the did not abandon all hopes, and Malta appeared to her adequate to complete the clef tiny which me had given to Alexandria. Hence the importance which Malta has taken in the difeaffion, face the publication of the report of Colonel SEBAS- Tiami ; hence the efforts of England to retain that bland. And, is fad. how could it be fuppofed that England, predominant over every fat, powerful in Europe, commanding in America, without compe tition in Int/a • rich in her poffeffions, in her com merce, in her Colonies, in the very places which are almoft out of the reach of the reit of the univerfe, could refolve, for 4 iniferable rock, to menace, and to declare war; if in her fecret views, that rock was not intended to become for her a farety for the fuccefs of her ulterior views of invafion, the terror of Turkey, and the mune of uniting Der ufurpations in India to thefe which the might one day attempt on the ruin of the Ottoman Empire ? " This is what England has not Paid, bat what fads fpeak. Colonel s —IBASTIANI efeaped from the /angers °Chia voyage , has reported that which he had - -; sic Englifh have abufed his report, but they hive not difproved it. In the mean time, their de veloped projeascontinoe.and again menace the rights and the repofe of Europe. 'use fir( theatre has been velaafed from them ; but the means and the object are the fame. They have left in quitting Egypt the germs of diffention, which they have an uttered to fer mew. They have brought to Malta one of the Beys, who will be for them a means of communication, an hollage, and the occaGoa for keeping op in Egypt a conitant (tries of rebellion, corruption. and anarchy. " Let us conclude this long dikufficin with an im portant remark. It is a cmfolation for Europe, that the public opinion, attentive and concerned to know . all that appertains to the happinefs of man. and the interells of Nations, poreffes the means which the does to come at the fource of oohs, and imprefs upon the mind the charade,. and talents of men who govern. as well as the cattle of thole evils which menace an/ defolate humanity. " But thole advantages which conduce to the pro. grefs of civilization mull be mifunderftood, and can anfwer no ufeful end, if die public opinion tells, in the midll of &andel, indolent and mute ; if it does not awe by its judgment, if its cenfurcs do not ditgrace men who arennworthy and incapable of governing; who by vain ideas of a falk pride, or for criminal views to retain eminent Rations, compromife the dif cernment and the juitice of their Sovereigns, fport with the fuffedngs of the people. and without emo tion, as well as without prudence, can balance the uncertain hope of aggnuidifernent, with the certainty of deluging with blood both earth and lea, -and of aringing into the four parts of the globe, war, mut.- defidatioo. - M ?dicky will, without doubt, deteß the memory of4ofe inhuman and ill.effetted men, who either are uoSmilring, or not able to govern, without aiming at • dellrnMon. and whore adsninitiration prefents nothing bat violeace. Wellies, and rapacity. But contemporaries Gould remember, that even the cha racter of their age will be att acked, if, for want of • penetration, courage and unanimity, their sentiments are not iniperioully manifelted; if they do not let the enemies of the human race know. that infamy mull cover all ranks; that diaionour difarms every power; and chit in a focial Rate, inch as that of the nations of the 'nth century, the opinion of enlightened people, when it manifests itfelf in time, is fufficient for their vengeance. flops the courfe of public calamities, and prevents the return of crimes, filch as thole which the. Englilli Government has jail committed, by violat ing, after ten months peace, a Treaty which the de mands of Europe, after ten years of difallers, bad fo much difficulty to obtain, from its voracious and in. human ambition." FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. FLvsHiao, Junta yeilerday the Commandant of Arms caufed to be arrelled here on the Englifh Quay, an Englifh merchant named Jonsson, who was immediately conduiled to prifon by two French foldiers. Some moments after the houfc of the prifoner was invelled, and the Com mandant of Arms, the Batavian Mayor of the place, and the Bailiff and Secretary of pflice having eaa. mined it, all the papers found in it Were conveyed to General Mouser at head-quarters.

BRUSSELS, JUNE t4.—We learn in an official man ner that the FIRST COMSUL will fat out from Paris in the eourfe of this week, on his tour to the C sited Departments of Belgium, where his pretence is Ar dently defired.

Our Readers may form folne iTikion of the labour bellowed on this comment, %slim we inform them that it occupies a fupplement of three (beets. From this detailed and anxious defence of the Fissr Consul., it is obvicus that the French Government feels the nccellity of vindicatioi: ; but the nature of moral evidence mull be changed, before mere verbiage can be made to pars for demonflration. The Mosileur repeats the news of our troops having carried the plague with them from Egypt to Malta. We ftrongly fofpeift that this intelligence has no other foundation than the defire of the Confular Govern ment, to torture the relations of our brave foldiers. Another article in the Alfoxinsr dcferveb notice : it is the following letter from St. Peterfburgh refpefting the Order of St. John of Jerufalem " PITILISISUROH, Mar 17.—The Knights of the Order of St. John of lent . ..lcm, in this City, held a Chapter lately, with the content of the Eorsitot.— They have deputed the Commander Mon rc LAIL I, and Coast Flamm, to compliment the Grand Maher in the name of the Grand Priory of Ruffin t aad to re flect to him that part of the archives of the order which was in this City.

Oa the above letter we may remark, that filch a proceeding, and nadir fuck eiremmkances as the prefent, teems to indicate views incompatible with the well-founded claims of this canary, and looks like an intinfation on the part of Alexander, that be will rapport the eankruition put upon the Treaty of Arnica, by the Cunt Cousin.. It is pails's, how ever, that matters may take a different turn--unlefs Raffia has refolved to adopt the French way of ma naging a negotiation ; for we have no doubt that the offered mediation of Raffia has been ailed upon.— Indeed a Meffenger arrived yekerday afiernnoa from Paris, with difpatches for the Ruffian Ambarador here, which are believed to have related to this fub jea. An immediate communication was made by the Ruffian Ambagador to Lord Hawassausr. A few days will, probably, throw Tome light upon this bufinefs—at prefent all is mere conjeOure. We would, however, caution our Readers, not to be too lin guine in their hopes of feeing a fpeedy termination put to the war; for the views of Trance remain un-' changed, and what thefe are we may gather from the licence given to the Journalias, to avow its in tentions of fubjugating this country—Witnefs the remark relpeaing our Almanacs, Court Calendars, kc. in which Bowaraarr's name is to hold a confpi coons place at no very Maar period l We wonder they forgot another Calendar, yclept " The Newgate."
