FRANCE. PARIS, 3o GERMINAL, APRIL so. We read, in an Englifh Journal named The Sun, of Saturday, April t 6, the following article: 4. M. De Thom.sii, prefent Grand Mailer of the Mend of Malta. is not only a creature of French intrigue ; but M. De Bali, tes Lieutenant, is a Frenchman; no doubt naturally de voted to France. Suppofing the guarantee announced in the Moniteur to have been adually obtained, could England have, even under loch a guarantee, any affurance that the pi:di:Soo of it would not be in fad French, fusee the Lieutenant of the Grand Matter is a Frenchman, in contempt of the Itipulations of the Trcuy of Amiens, which bear that w Fresehassajestklit- Issz to the Orar 9f St. 7.sa The fame affertions are, with fimilar confidence, repeated in all the Englifh papers of the fame day, thefe being all written in the fame fpirit. It is, however, grofsly falfe, that the Commander Bar. sr Bust is a Frenchman. He is of an ancient Italian family, which has been for feveral centuries refident in a town in the Papal dominions, about nine leagues dißant from Rome. Mr. Bit Li Dust was 'uorn in that town. Certain Englifh Journalißs have a wonderful knack at making abfurd fuppo. fitions to be followed by imputations which are not lets abfurd. They reafon with the fame good faith and logic as the wolf in the fvble. We recognife 11,..re the inclinations and fpirit of that ferocious beafl : but we do not fee any lamb ready to let itfelf be devoured.— illewitrur. MALTA: In confequence of the refufal of Sir ALEX. BALL to furrender up Malta to M. Bust, the Commit - - fary of the Grand Maller applied for the media. tion of the French Miniller, who Rated to him, that there could be no doubt that by the jullice and the faith of Treaties England ought to eva cuate the nand, and that it ought to be given up to the Order. The French Knitter tranfmitted to the Grand Mailer a copy of the reprefentation he had made to the Englifh Mini(ler, of which the following are the principal points . . 1. That the 131 . dependence of thefe Mande, and arrangements refpetting them, have been placed, by 6th paragraph of Article X. of the Treaty of Amiens, underthe protediun and guarantee of fin of the molt independent powers of Europe. France and Great Britain, who were the cent:at - tine Parties,and who have foli cited the other Powers to guarantee that chafe of their treaty of Peace, cannot, wititcut giving Landal, be the fiat to refufe to ezccute tbefe arrangements, to infure that independeoce and to grant that pro:cello° and guarantee. a. That the Invitation fet forth in the 13th paragraph of the Lid Article X. to the other Powers to accede to the ftipulatlons contained in that Article, is oaly a mark of politeneft or an ho nour which there Powers are at liberty to refute: but it is o: her wife with regard to Prance and Gra dititain,who have promifed their proteetion and accepted the guarantee, by the very a& of Ageing the Treaty which contains the arrangements to be gun reamed, who thus have placed themfelves at the head of the Powers to whom the invitation was addreffed. 3. 'nlat the non-easuraahti Powers may Waft tbe guarantee beeaufe k Is a burthea which thek Powers arc at liberty Dot to impore upon theinfelves ; but how abfurd would It be to believe the refaW could involve and eket the annulling of the Treaty of Peace, and noaerate hum their engagements the Powers that have fused it. 4. That Tin attempt to take advantage of fo frivolous a pre teat and fo glaring a kn, in order to decline doing what they thenifelves have to do, would be a breach of faith unworthy of a great Power, and with which England would not molt auras , fully the pap a f ber kdory. S. That this d• lay In the acceptation of as honourable duty in the foppolitioa that it ulfts on the part of the non-contriding Powers, cannot, above all, prove injurious to a third Power, that ban been acknowledged and fob:sully eft/Milled by the contraetlog pattks, wilds tie latter be difpufed openly to violate their own engagements, the faith of Treaties, and the law of nations. 6. That Raffia, Auftsia, and Preis, if they have not aft ally acceded, as the Eng,lifh Mealier pretends, to the invitation mad. to them, to accgat the guaranty of the Maud, were far from inisgiulng that by this delay they Would have prevented the re. ctlablilliment of the Order of Malta, the eteeution of the Tre..ty of Amens, oe eampronafed the tranquillity of Eu rope. .1 he underigned requires to know of hi. Escellenci what slide Powers will think when they find that their delay n • (*ling to the invitstionlals reread as a pretest fur the Mu atlas fo Us'e nn • Treaty of Peace, As to the dechtrati - on made by the Miniller of England, that he had no fpeciad intiruttions from Isis Court on the fohieB of the refignation of the Government of the island, or its fUrrender to the Grand Malicr, the underfigned has the honour f aferving to his Excellency, that in qnality of Minisier Plenipotentiary to his Britannic Majeuly, the rtuicir4l and imputable tele of his condo* is contained in the treaty itfelf: and fuch was Co clearly the intention of his Court, that in the full powers given him, and which he interchanged with the undersigned, it is pofitively Paid, ga You vill,on your arrival at Malta, immediately inform Gen. VIAL that his Majeay, defirous of accomplifhing with the utmoß fidelity the engagement he con traded by the Definitive Treaty, wifhes you to take, in concert with him, the neceffary meafures for giving effeet to the ftipulations contained in the loth article of the treaty." His Excellency might be inverted with another charafter in that ifland ; but the French Republic does not recognife thefe contradietory qualities, thefe op poling duties; and the underfigned fees, in the perfon of his Ex cellency, nothing but the Miniftcr Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majefty, charged with the execu tion and the maintenance of treaties. The Englifh Minifter has no doubt refleeed duly on the confequences of an oppofition which cannot fail to aftonifh all Europe. He ought to have teen that this refufal was a manifeft violation of the treaty of peace, and that the Britifh Government, to juftify its intentions, and to give a ftriking proof of its good faith, ought dittinftly to difavow a conduit fo little conformable to honour, and throw the whole odium on the Minifter, who had re forted to it without a pofitive order. For if, con• trary to all appearances, this violation of a treaty, which has given peace to the world, was not dif approved of by his Britannic Majelly, the Firft Conful of the French Republic would be reduced to the necetlity of appealing to the tribunal of Eu rope, and then he would find as many allies, as there are powers friendly to peace, and jealous of their dignity, their independence of the rights of , Sovereigns, and the rigorous obfervance of the faith of treaties. The underfigned fupports, therefore, in the moll formal manner, the demands made to the Englifh Minißer, in the name of the Grand Mailer of the Order of Malta, by his Extraordinary Minifter Ple nipotentiary, M. Bust. Of confequence he de mands the prompt and entire execution of the mat article of the Treaty of Amiens. Both the French and Englifh Minißers have written complimentary letters to the Grand Mallet. The Englifh Minifler gave the Grand Mailer to underhand, that it was his opinion it might 1 e better for the Grand Mailer to wait at Meffina for the decifion of the British Cabinet, which he pro miles to communicate to him as loon as it arrived; and he offered, in the mean time, a country houfe to the Grand Mafter,lhould he be difpofed to come to Malta. The Grand Matter ohferved, in anfwer to the Englifh Miniiler, that having through the medium of his Lieutenant, fulfilled what was enjoined him by the article of the Treaty of Amiens refpeaing the Grand Mailer, he fhould wait at Meffina the evacuation of the Ifiand, or the decifion of the two Courts. The French Minifler invited the Grand Mailer to come to Malta without delay. The Grand Mailer obferved in anfwer, that having performed the duty impaled on him by the treaty of Amiens, by the prefenceef his Lieutenant at Malta, he mull look upon every other proceeding as unfeafonable at the prefent moment, and that he would wait at Meflina the decilion of ? the Courts.— Moteitatr. A fire broke out at three o'clock in the morning in one of the rooms of the Palace of St. Cloud.— The flames communicated to fome buildings on the oppofite fide. By the timely apiication of water the progrefs of the fire was arretted. •►RIL 21. Negociations are continued without intermiiton, and the couriers frequently difpatched by the dif ferent Courts prove, that feveral of them take a very adive part in them. If we can, however, unit appearances, the attempts of England to form alliances on the Continent have been hitherto fruit- I lefs. The Governments of Europe feem at length to be convinced, that the profperty of their com merce depends on their union. This truth, it would appear, ought to be confidered as a fixed principle, as long as the colofal power of England mita, and continues progreffively to inereafi. It appears, theref , re, that se may make ourfelves ear,' with refped to the fupport which the Britifh Miniftry Peek fur on the Continent. The Englifb journals themfelves have been the firft to announce a new treaty between France and Pruffia. Aultria, by the orders it has given in its port, proves its refo• lution of adhering to a rigorous neutrality, and if the great dillance of Ruffia did not remove all uncertainty in regard to it, the pacific charafter of AL/samosa 11. wonld be fufficient to free us from all unearmels. France then, Should war be un avoidable, may dire& all ber forces to one point, and turn to one objed the courage and patriotifm of her inhabitants. There feems to be fufficient reafon for akribing (he flow progrefs of the prefent negotiations. to the impotence of the efforts made by the Englifh Go vernment to form alliances on the Continent. In this cafe it may repent in filence of its loud bong ing. England began by telling us, in an urgent manner, "I deride as Prate er War I" And it fem. ed ready to draw a circle round us with its flips, as the Roman Ambaffador. of haughty memory, traced rut one with his walking flick around an Afiatic King. It ought to have reileded, that this circle will be impenetrable to it, and that it will be fufficient for Frenchmen to have gone beyond it once.—(Gage ts de Prow.) Whatever the Englifh Papers may fay in regard to intelligence from Brea, dated the t4th. no pre parations for arming are obferved its that port. — There has not been fo much inaitivity at Breß for ten years as at prefent. The new money bearing the effigy of the Fitter Coasos. Coast:l. has begun to appear in circulation. The lall payments at the Treafury were made in new pieces cf five francs. Letters from Florence Rate, that the King oft Sardinia has been aligned indemnities in Italy, confiding of the Principality of Sienna, the Duchy of Orbitello, and the diftrias of Prelides and Ma remma. It is generally believed that the King of Etruria will receive in exchange the Duchy of Parma, and that Placentia will be reunited to the Italian Republic. —courier de Mdse. Letters from Germany, and particularly from Vienna, (peak generally o f the fame news, a n d add that this arrangement was concluded at Parts on the demand of R.uffla and the gum - Antic of the other great powers. To complete the Peace Eflablifhrnent of tbe French army, 30,000 Confcripts, of the confcrip. tion for the year t t, are about to be railed and embodied; and, an equal number out of the con fcription for the year la, of the Republic. For a referve, to be called into aftual fervice, only in the event of war, another 30,000 Confcripts of the year t I, and as many of the year 12, are to be, at the fame time, railed. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. MADRITI, APRIL 2.—While England and France are making preparations for war, our Government is caufing all the !hips of war at Carthagena to be difmantled. Five (hips of the line, among nhich there is one firft rate, have undergone this opera. lion : a lath has failed for Ferrol, where it will be reduced to the fame [late. In the magazines of Cartbagena there are neither proviliona, fails, nor cordage. Notes, which fell for half their value, aregiven in payment to the feamen for their arrears of wages. RATISSON, APItIL 13.—1 t is worthy of remark, that the Envoy of Malta did not propofe that any mention (hould be made of the Order in the con. fervatory claufe of the conchifion. There was the more reafon to cape& that this would not have been the cafe, as it was ezprefsly mentioned along with the Nobility of the Empire, and the Equel. trian Order, in a note of the Imperial Plenipontiary. Two Deputies from the Merchants of the Duchy of Berg arrived here lately with inflrwYlions which Rate, that they are to make tome reprefentations in regard to the pafage from Mentz to Cologne, and to demand the demarcation of the Thalweg, which is to regulate the new frontiers between France and Germany, in order that the navigation and commerce of each nation may be carried on without any retrain. Letters from Vienna Rate, that Citizen Owe. pansy, the French Ambaffador, in concert with the Ruffian Ambaffador, has prefented to the Firft Minifter of State, Count Cossarzsc, a note, in which he invites, in the moll preffing manner, the Imperial Court to ratify fpeadily, the preavis of the Empire, decreed by the laft ectschires of the Diet, containing th.e. General Reces of the Deputso tion. Theie three Minifters have Gnce bad feveral conferences. M. Coss ars rL. offered to ratify every thing that concerns the indemnities, feparating the difpofitions relating to them, from thole which relate to the male votes ; but according to the difpofitions of the two other Mini fters he gave rra• fon to hope, that his Imperial Majefty will accede to the other arrangements of the conektuir. The Emperor went himfelf a few days ago to the Chancery of State, and caufed the Ads to be ear hibited. Vinous, Amt. B.—A fecond courier has arriv. ed from Count STATHIUMBERG, our 11finifter at the Britiffi Court, with difpatches, which give us the more hopes of a reconciliation, as two great Powers are to interfere in order to remove the difficulties which fill ezift. M. Da jusrs, who has difcharged the funitions of Secretary of Legation at different Courts, has been nominated Minifter Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majefty, to the King of Etruria. Mini (ter: to tie Italian and Ligurian Republics will be appointed alfo. Rows, Aram 2.—Lord ELGIN arrived here in the begining of this week from Naples, on his re turn from Connantinople to London. MILAN, APRIL 6.—Within the !aft fortnight a great number of French troops, both from Swiffer ' land and the interior of France, have arrived in our Republic. We exped alto othcr corps accord ing to an order of General Muaar, the Corpman. der he Chief, thefe troops, as well as thofe which are already in Upper Italy, will form in the courfe of the month different camps. FRANCK/011T, APIS& B.—Great movements are remarked in every part of Italy, which is occupied by French troops. Great reinforcements are very &only expeded. General MURAT has expedited feveral cobrien to Rome and Naples, and we are allured that be demands a paffage for a body of 30,0ci0 men, which, if war breaks out, will proceed to Sicily, to effed from thence an expedition againft Malta. Every body difapproves highly of the condu6 of the Englifh, who, under vain pretences, obftinately refufe to evacuate that ifland, which the Govern ment, however, promifed in the molt folenin man. ner to place in the hands of the Grand Maffer. The latter thf. de Tnostast) has attempted in vain to obtain the confent of the Englifh Gowen-, ment to deliver up Malta, and to take porellon of it in the name of the Order. The Neapolitan gar am, which is now in that ifland, may be called prifoners of war to the Englifb, who occupy all the fortreffes, and who do not (offer a fingle Nea• politer' foldier to enter the town of Valette. The artillery of the Neapolitans is in the power of the Engliffr. Their Chief alone refides in the capital of the Wand with his Etat Major, but be is in a Rate of furveillaace. The EngLi& Officers announce, in a high tone. that their Government has made eats for the keeping of Malta. and that it will lead thikt conliderable reinforcements. They expeit Englifh garrifon from Alexandria, which. in an infurrettional movement . forced General Sru ART, the Englith Commander in Egypt. to fign an en gagement, by which be promifed to depart with them from Egypt, in the coutfe of the month 0 1 March. This event is fpoken of in different ways: it appears neverthelefs certain, that the reps which was fpread, of a battle between the Engliat and the Turks, is void of foundation. The moa authentic advice: inform us, that the ravages of the plague, and the difagreements to which the English were daily expofed on the part of the Tui ks, wh,t did not with to Puffer any longer the Clay of thole whom they called infidels. indoc , .. l the Englills to force their General to quit Evl'' in fpite of the orders of his Court. which had en• joined him to remain then Come mont h s
