I -a., have Ito difht eel in assuring pat, that his Majesty has entertaiued a neat sniccre ri-eare that the Treaty of Aaniens might be executes! in a hid and ciao ',fete manlier ; hue it has not "seen possible fur him to eceisidei this treaty as haying boat founded tot twtmeiltit"llf" r " t from Hoots which base been iuv.trL.ds applied to ever. other antecedent treaty or convention, namely, that they were neptiaterl with reference to the anted ahit.: of pour.: siou of the different Isaac., and of tee trcatie. ce putslic etiooteernents by irtfich they wee hound at the tune of its cuti cle:eon; and that h that state of posseeemi, and of engage ment., was so materia ly altered by inc act of either n. um parties as to affect the nature of the eiampact itself, the other party has a right, aceordilig to thy I iw of natame, to inn:re-re fur the purpose of ohtaining satisfaction or tainpentatiou tee any essential thlL:rence which atieh4et • may have subsequently made in the r rehlose situation ; that if there ever was a Cate to which this principle might be applied with peculiar ptopriety, it wa4 that of the late Treaty Of Peace; for the megottatiott was eieuitieted on a basis not merely propus:& by his alajesty, but specially agreed to ni as official note by the Freieen tsuvern rtent, oz. that his Majesty should keep a compensation out of his cisnottiots for the important acquisitions of tenitory made by Francetipoit the Cashman. This is a sudicielit reef that the compact was understoad to have been concluded with refer ence to the then ex i-ttng atate of things: for the law tune of his Nlajesta's compels-sown was to be calaulated with ref:relay to the acquieitiolis of France at that time ; and if the interfer ence of the French Guverunteut in the general affairs of LW rope, since that period; if their interpoeition with respect to Switterlalid and illotlandov hiss,: ind:peudence eat guaranteed by them at the time of the cenclusion o: the Treaty of Peace; it the anneoations which hale been made to Prance in ratios quar ters, bet ;noir warty throe tit Italy, inure esteoicied the terrttioy and increase d. the power of the French (Invernineta, his Ma jesty would be warranted, consisteetly woh the spirit of our Treaty- of Peale, iit con sss i$ ig equi.eleats for illitrt al;o4Uillitit/1111, at a counterpoise to the augmentation of the power of Frai.c.. Ire Majesty, however, anxious to prevent all ground of mound.ostanding, and cLoruus of consolidate': the ge l neral peva; of Europe, .as far as might be in his power, Was willing to have waived the pretetetions he might hater a right to advance of this imbue; and as the other articles of the Deliative Treaty have heal in a centre of execution oil his part, so he would h :lave bete' re ady to have tarried ha° tiffeft the true intent and i-loot of the 10th article, the execution of which, according to its terms, had been rendered imprailticobie by eircuinstaaccs which it teas not in his Majesty's power to eoutmul. A communication to your Lordship would-accord ingly have been prepared conformably to this disposition, if the atteutiou of his Majesty's Gov.-remora had not been aurae-tilt by the err. extraordinary publieation of the Report of Co lonel Sebastiani to the First Consul. It it impossible for his Stale ite to view this repaet in any other light than as an official publication; for without referring particu larly to explanations which have been repeatedly given upon the subject of publications in the Mollie:to, the article iti question, a. it purports to be the report to the First Consul of an accredited age n t, as it appears to have beers signed by Colonel Sebastian himself. and as it is pub"islied in the aba ci:Ll paper, with an offizial title affixed to it, must be consi tiered as authorized by the French Government. This report contaiitu the ntost unjustifiable insinuations and charges against the officer who commanded his forces in Egypt, and :against the British army in that quarter, insinuatiu.is and charges aholhy destitute of foundation, and such as would warrant his Majesty in demanding that satisfaction, which, on occasions of this nature. independent powers in a state of amity have a right to expect from ea at other. It discloses, moreover, 'hews an the highest degree injurious to toe 'literati of his Majesty's domi nions, and directly lopegliant to, and utterly inconsistem with, the spirit and le.ttor of the Treaty of Peace concl laird hetweett his Majesty and the French Government; ausi hi: Majesty would feel that he was aantitig in a pro Per regard to the honour of his Crown, aid to the interests of his dominions, if be caul(' see with itidiffereoce such a system developed and avowed. Iles Majesty cannot, therefore, regard the coaditti of the French Geverement on various occasions since the ennclusien of the Lietistitive Treaty, the. insinuations awl clutters cement ed in the report of Colonel Stematiani, and the stews which that report disclose., without feeling it tiepeleare for him die bawdy to d.y:are. that it will be impiesible for hint to eater let° any further disctosion t: at;ve to Malta, unleas he ie.:tort sa tisfactory explain:Mu on the subjeEt of this comniunisotion.

My 64 dispatch, in which I gave your L welship Ana:count e t my co l ifervn:e wish M. da •Ixtlnyrand, was scarcsiy gone, when I received a note from him, informing me that the F rat Consul sitilied to converse with me, amt desired I would come iv, him at the Thuilleries at trine o'clock. He receiver we in his Cabinet, with tolerable cordiality, and, after talking on different subjects for a few minutes, he desired me tu sitdown, as be hinisef did on the other side of the tahle, and beton. He told me, that he felt it accessary, after what had pas ed between rot and M. de Talleyrand,thet he shonld, in the most clear arid authentic manner, make known his sentiments to me in order to their being communicated to his Majesty; and he conceived this woold be more effectually done by himself than through any medium whatever. He said, that it was a mutter of inanitd di.sappointment to Wan, .hat the Treaty of Amities, instead of bning followed by cunciliatiou and friend ship, the natural elect, of peace, had hero productive only ttf conhafal mid increasing jealousy and mistrust; and that this mistrust was now avowed in such a manner as mutt bi ing the ;mint ta an issue. He now enuntrated the several provocations which he pre. t e nded to have retstived from Eaglatiel. IL. placed in the first line our not evacuating Slarta and Alexandria, as we were bound to do by trial. In this he said that no consideration on earth should make him r:lptiesee; and of the two, he had rather see us in poisession of the Fauxboorg St. Antoine than Malta. He then adverted to the abuse thrown ant against him in the English public prints ; but this, lie said, he did lint w much mg ird as that which speared in the Trelielli papers pub lished in Ltalifloll. This he considered as much more mis chievous, :ince it Was meant to excite this couAtry against I • and his Government. He complained of slis protediten given to Georges and others of his descriiitimi, who, instead of being sent to Canals, as had been rupeattullv promised, were I:truistic:l to realism is lutudioaely p4lasioded, and % •ftelasslyenir,litsin ; erns ef re tees nn th • eeentl " if t .

France with an anny of four !run !red and eighty tbosoand men, or to this amount, it it, he oils, te he im mediately completed, ad ready for the insist deotcrate mule prizes ; and England with a fleet that mode her mistress el the seas, and which he did not think he should he able to equal in leas then ten yews. Two 'nab coma. ite by a primer under standing laight govern the world, bet by their Krises might overturn it. He 'said, that if lie Lot hot felt the eninity of the British Government On every octosion since the Treaty of Amiens, there would hive been northing that he wouli not have done to ;truce his desire to couciliate ; participation in iseleinnities as well as in influence on the Ceetinent ; treaties of commere e in shoat, any thing that cold have given ez Intro:Con, and hive teatitied 1113 friendship. Nothine, how. cs' r, had beemi aide to core - leer the hatred of the British Go vernment, and therefore it was now come to the point, whe ther we would have peace or war. To preserve peace, the Treaty of Amiens must be fulelled ; the abuse in the puhiic mints, if net terdry suppressed, at least kept within bounds, and confined to the keielreli papers; and the protection sit openly given to his letterest t ir-tnies t alluding to Geergiet and eersons of that deieriptiou) must be withdrawn. If war, it was necessary only to oty ito, and to refuse to fulfil the treaty. He now made the tour of Europe to prove to me, that in its pr. terit --tete, there was no power with which we could caw hero for the purpose of makines war aeailist. France ; cr u ise. toothily It was our interest to gain tene, avid if we had any point to gain, renew the war when eircumstauces saute more feveuratile. lie said, it was not doing him justice to tappose, that he c ince:eyed himself aeove the upinion of hit country or of Europe He would not risk uniting Europe against him by airy violent act of aggression; neither was he so powerful in France a, to persuade the station to go to war unless on reel emunde. He said, that he bad not chastised the Alge rinee, from his unwillingnees to excite the jealousy of other powers, but he hoped that England, Russia, sod France, would one clay feel that it wies their interest to desires , oriel' a nest of thieves, and force them to live lathes by cuitivating their land than by-plunder. In the little I said to bin, for he gilt me in the course of two hairs hut very few opportunities of saying a word, I coil fined myself strictly to the tenor of your Lordship's instructions I creed them in the same manner as I had done ta M. de Tal leyroid, aid dwelt as strongly as I could on the sensation which the publication of Sebastirines report had crcat.d in Ferelaud, where the views of France tewatds Egypt must sl yer's command the utmost vigilance and jealousy. lie main tained that what ought to convince us of his desire of peace, was on the ate heed the little he hed to gain by renewing the sad on the other the facility with which he m i g ht have mien possession of Egypt with the very ships and temps which were new going trim the Mediterranean to St. Domingo, and that with the approbation of all Europe, and more particularly of the Turks, who had repeatedly incited him to join with them for - the purpese of forcing us to evacuate their territory. I do not pretend to follow the arguments of the First Consul in detail ; this would be impossible, from the vast variety of matter, which he took occasion to introduce. His purpose was evidently to canvirice me that on Malta must depend peace or war, and at the sometime to impress upon my mind A lining idea of the means he possessed of annoying us at borne mitt abroad. With regard to the mistrust and jealousy which hue said con sumey prevaiLd since the conclusion of the Treaty of Amiens, I observed that after a war of such lone duration, so fell of ran cour, and carried on in a manner of which histo y lies no ex empt-, it was but natural that a considerehle degree of agita tion termold prevail; but this, like the swell atter a storm, would gradually eubeide, if not kept up by the policy of either party; that I wunlii ;jot preteed to pronounce which hal been the aggressor in the paper war of which he com pletive!, and which was still kept up, though with this differ ence, Viat ie EneJand it was intlep eideat or G vernniedt, and in France its very act and deed To this 1 added, that it must be milinitt.' , l that we had such motives of mistrust against France as could tee be alleged against us, and I was gling to inetaece 'she *et:colon of territory and Influence .'sines by France %ince the treaty, when he interrnpted me by say ieg, I .suppose . yon mean Pieriniont and Switzerland; " ,sent des Bagatelles ;" and it must have bean foreseen whist the negotiation was pending ; Vous waves pas I.t dreit d'en porter a tette heure." I then alleged as a cliNe in mistrust and of jealousy, the iitipoesitelity of &nein ine justice or any kind of redress fir any of his elaieety's sub jects. He asked me in what respect : and I told hint that since the Angel of the honey, not one , British claimant had been satisfied, se:though every Frenchinau of that description hid bent so within vane mouth after that period ; and that since I had been here, and I cuoil say as much of my predeceesuee nut one ettisteetery answer bad been obttined to the itruine reble reerrsentativits whi •h we had been wider the nacet-ity of making'in favour of the British subjects and property detained in the several port, of France and elsewhere, witbout even a shadow of justice : sect% an orl e of thing+, I teed, was nut nestle inspireconfidence; but, on the coon-are, Inuit create mistrust.
