IA N gt in r . , .e. F.' ga E 1 DIPLOMATIC COIMULINPONDENCE. —.......... [FROM THE MOMTLURI (Ceesineed Nan ear Paper of yesterday.) (No. N.) " The Undersigned Minister of Foreign Affairs has laid behest the eyes of the Emperor and King of Italy, the ematessive Notes of his Excellency the Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty, bearing date the 9th of August, the 10th, the 11th in the morstieg, the 1 nth at eight. the 14th, the 22d, and the fth. of the same month ; he has re. atived an order to address to his Excellency, the Earl of Lauderdale, relative to those d.ffcrent Notts, the following Declaration toe " Before t;.e nomination of Lord Lauderdale, the sego , nutinn between Fiance and Enclard pre tested all the characters of a calm and moderate dis cussion: but, on his arrival, it allpeared to take all of a sadden an unexpeaed direaion ; and His Ma jesty the Emperor could not but be extremely stir. prised at learning. almost at the same time, both the intervention of a second Plenipotentiary of His Ma jesty the King of England, and the form .1 demand of pompons for his return. Only one ennteresce had taken place; the second had not been then fixed: those visits which reciprocal attentions preset ibe,' had cot been made by the new Minister Plenipotentiary of His britacuic Majecty, end nevertheless demands tor passports were hourly renewed. In vain the Plenipottostiaries of His Majesty the Emperor en. deavoured to come to some understanding : in vain they gave, and in vaiss they asked for explanations. They only experienced the most persevering refusal, to hoot to any thing which could tend to concilia tion. " The Ministers of His Majesty the Emperor, eametobSsad to reader an aceonnoto hint of the ob stacles that thty met with, and of the mortification' that they tied to expelience; and His Majesty, judg. log sof the view. of the Plenipotentiary of His Bri tannic testy, by the unsuitablene s s of the impe rious, alb, one may say, savage forms, which ha bee not Nee afraid to assume, mast clearly perceive, :. that the seal intention of Lord Lauderdale moat mime apd break precipitately a negoaltion, whelk. • lis its beginning, announced a speedy and successful ONA • 116 Nevertheless. His Majesty wishing to try, if by g modetatiao to the extreme degree of inac aMk, y to passion, the English Plenipotentiary not be determined to chuse more conciliating forte& made to the love of peace: the paint ul sacrifice of maiming that the Minister of a hostile Govern. tent ihould come, and its the very heart of his capl et. aloft a tone of menace and superiority ; but at tgib. die expressions contained in the sixth note, io obligitli h.m to perceive the impossibility of eon boding 3 peace with a-Plenipotentixry, all whose &mows wire alkapets, and all whose steps were bomb ads ; and the ITndertigned has contequently serried this order to snot to his Excellency Lord Lauderdale, those passports which he has so con. 'toady iessonded. • But, at the same time, His Majesty the Em peror and King has enjoined the Undersigned to de- clam formally, that he desires, as much as it de - ponds en him, that the negroiation should net he taterruptied ; and that it shall be continued at any seesawed place, in the true spirit of conciliation. with a frank and mutual disposition to come to an liflldarstandieg, era according to the usages, and is the forms settled among all nations. ".. Never will. His Maj..siy permit hie Ministers to pe any deference that shall be inconsinent with his dimity, and which may be incompatible with the principles of the most perle equality among great powers. It is without an example in history, that between two nations which cannot arrogate any claim of superiority, the Plenipotentiary of the one should dare to sliaitte to the other the conditions ' and the forms of a deliberation, and draw round Isi.n the circle of Pepilitts : and that is what the .Minister of His Majesty the King of England has not feared. to do ; as if peace were not as necessary for England as for France s as if the chances of war were all ageless the French nation, and that she alone was to hear all tip evils of it. e The Undersigned has the regret of having to , declare to Nis Excellency Lord Lauderdale, that if in reality his mission has been for c e purpose of booking she negoelittion, already so tar advanced, if he has wisimd to snbstioste, for that mild and con ciliating language which disposed the two Govern ments to accommodation, the imperious tone of re limo h and mensce—if it was to prolong (licit calamities which ,it seas his ntfice to put a stop to, then Lind Lauderdale has the sad glory of having attained his object: an advantage, after all, very racy to be arcomplished ; for a peace between France and England cm only be the result of a negociatirin, entered into by men who feel what each of those nations owes to its rival; who per ceive and facilitate as mach as is in their power, the combinations and the calculations which are most fit to Tiemicas their different isteresaa g sod. wise attach their personal happiness and honour to putting an end to a contest. the existence of which is a scourge sot wily to the two nations. bat to ad the nations in the world. To throw an obstacle to each a blessing, it is oily necessary to remain insen sible of the glory of co-operating to produce it. " The Undersigned must here repeat what he wrote, en the CO.I tit June, to Mr. Fox, ' That no one must ever flatter themselves with being able to impose upon France, either conditions of peace, or • mode of avocation contrary to established usages. , • The French Government coroinnes at this mo ment, as it dieett that time. to adhere to the two bases of negotiation which have beer. speed to on lantli tides, namely : 4* Ist. To the prunes fie taken frners the letter of Mr. F. ix, of the :.'soh nt Match, that the two State, should have fir their dye 4.

(N 0.31.) . . " The Undersigned Plenipotentiary of His Bri tannic Majesty has, without delay, transmitted to his Court the communication made to him on Thurs day, the 4th instant, by his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and he now hastens to answer that communication, by intimating to his Excel lency the line which His Majesty has thought pro per to prescribe fur his cundua in the oats.' state of things. " His Britannic Majesty, ever attentive to the maintenance of the intimate ties and of the alliance subsistinz 'setween His Majesty and the Emperor of -all the Russias, naturally grids in the recent conduit of his Illustrious Ally, and in the testimonies he has ju't given of the interest which he takes in the wel fare of Great Britain, and the general happiness of Europe, fresh motives for not separating. in any case. his interests from those of the Court of St. Peters. burgh. " His Majesty does not, however, pretend to ex tend this principle farther than the Earl of Yar mouth was authorised to do, according to the in struaions of Mr. Fox, in the communications be tween his Lordship and the French Government. Nothing prevents the interests of Great Britain and France from being discussed separately ; His NI i jesty merely does not authorise the Undersigned to sign any treaty but a provisional one, it being un derstood that this treaty is not to have full effect, but in the case of peace being concluded between the faithful Ally of Greit Britain and France. It is upon these conditions only that the Undersigned is actually authorised to negotiate. " The Undersigned is ordered to add, that His Britannic Majesty, perfectly informed of the desire entertained by the Court of Petersburgh to make peace, on bases reciprocally honourable and advan tageous, and compatible at the same time with the interests of Earn" has authorised him to commu nicate to the French Plenipotentiary conditions ac cording to which. Russia (in consequence of the in timate and full knowledge which His Majesty has of the intentions of that Court) would be ready to negotiate with the French Government ; to reduce them into the form of a Treaty, should they be agreed to on both sides t and to insert, in the pro visional Treety between Great Britain and France, an article, according to which His Britannic Ma jesty would engage to employ his mediation for ob taining the accession of Ilia Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias :o this Treaty. " The Undersigned is not ignorant that it is to the French Plenipotentiaries he has to submit the Official Communication of the Conditions. In the mein time,and for the satisfaition of his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, he has no hesitation to state, that they will be in substance the same which have been already communicated to Isis Ex cellency by his Evcell-trey Baron De Bndberg. " The Undersigned will wait, with anxious ex peaation, for the answer to this communication, which his Excellency the Minister fur Foreign Af fairs will have the goodness to transmit to him in writing. It is the more essential to him to obtain it in that form, as his Court has remarked. that the communications already made by the Undersigned pave several times remained without a writtenanswer. " The Undessigned has the honour to sinew to his 'Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs the assurances of his high consideration. " Paste, Sept. tr, Mott “ L tIIDEBOALE." (No. 32.) Copy of a Note addressed to Lord Lauderdale by his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sept. 18, 180 ti : " The Undersigned, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has laid before His Majesty the Emperor, - King of Italy, the Note which his Excellency the Era of Lauderdale, Minister Plenipotentiary of His 33ri tam& Majesty, did him the honour to address to him on the ISth inst. Is His Majesty the Emperor and King sees with concern, that the negociation seems sn take every day a retrograde direflion, and he can, with difficulty. explain to himself whit end the English Govern- rnent desires to arrive at. " At first, obsolete forms, both the text and the grounds of which were never admitted. nor even discussed by the French Government, were brought forward and attempted to be established as settled rules, and when that difficulty appeared to have been removed, and the French Pknipotertiaries antici pated sacrifices. which evinced more and more the disposition of their Government to peace, points anterior to the negotiation were resorted to, and a question which had been three times decided. was again revived ; first, by the powers given to M. D'Oubril, and of which the Plenipotentiaries of Ills Britannic Majesty were afterwards informed ; by the powers which England had given to the. 4.3.4t1 of Yarmouth ; and finally, for the third time, by those of the Earl of Lauderdale. It was, it would seem, a fit subjca of consideration, that a discussion ter minated before the first conferences of the Negoci ainrs, and decided also by the single fag of their snot iation, would be no mere resumed. ' " ' e. H's Majesty the Rhyme, however. desirmas to give a new pried of his constant dispositind for the re-establishment of peace, adlietes to the following proposition:—That the negotiation between France and England shall continue, and that the Plenipo tentiary of His Britannic Majesty shall be at liberty to introduce into the treaty, *idler by a formal sir a secret article, or under any other form which may answer the sense end, every thing which he shall think useful for concilietiug the differences that exist between France and Russia, and Gtr making the lat ter participate in the blessings of peace; it being clearly understood, that no proposition will be ad mitted. but those which should be respeitively ho moveable, and M no way affeaing the real power and dignity of the two empires ; and that the extr.sordi n.iry propositions with *bich M.'Novozillroff was charged on the past of Russia, shall not again be brought forward, and which having signalized the origin of a coalition; vinqutshed and confounded fr,yrn the instant of its fewmation, ought, with it. to be consigned to oblivion. There are propositions, which being but the remit of a blind confidence and alind of snebtiatier, and which being founded , neither in the reel strength of states. nor its their gin graphical Iltllitiiiil, are destitute of all pacific clanger. and c wrty with them their own reprobation. ..." It is the duty of FIIIII:e not to abandon the in terest. of the Ottom in Porte, nor a pontion which • enables bee to maintain that empire wins: the ag -1 gressions with which Russia opettlr threatens it : but all these objects, designed to make part tot the dispositions of the treaty, being reserved for discus sion, the Undersigned shall not attempt to amid- pate the results to which the discussion may Iced. " If, since the changes which have occur red in the Cabinet of His Britannic Majesty; they cominue in England to wish for peace. peace may te mAtle, and made promptly. The Emperor will not strip at some sacrifices to accelerate and render it Lasting; but if the disposition for peace has changed at Lon don—if the wise and liberal views, dtveimped in the first communications which took place with the il lustrious Minister, whom both nations regret, prevail no longer—a vague discussion, immoderate preten sions, and ambiguous propositions, deviating from the tone of candour and liberality necessary to con dal both parties to a true point of approximation, would enly tend to farther it ritation, and would be unworthy of the two people. •• Fiance does not pretend to &late either to Russia or to England; but she will not be diaated to either by England or by Russia. Let the condi tions be equal, just; moderate, and peace is made; but it an imperious disposition be manifested. if ex aggerated terms be proposed, if the spirit ofpredo nuisance be evinced ; if, ttally, it be wished to dic tate peace, the Emperor and the French people will not even take notice of these propositions. Confi dent in themselves, they will answer, as an ancient people answered its enemies, a Yon demand our arms, come and take them." - . " The Under signed has the honour to renew, &C. (Signed) C. M. TALLLY RAND, P euf linuevento." (Nu. 33.) The Undersigned Plenipotentiary of His Ma jesty the King of Great Britain (in answering the official note" of his Excllency the Minister for Fo reign Affairs, dated the 13th of this month, which was this day transmitted to him). begins by ohs:try ing, tha he purposely abstains, . # l)s far as possffile, from all remarks on points which are noticed t!:..r.7, but which are foreign to the obj!ft immediately in question. He will, by that mode, avoid discussions, which, in their nature, might make him forget the tone and the moderat on prescribed by his duty in the whole course of his mission. This conduit is also the only one conformable to that lore of pe.tce, which charadeaises all the pi oceeffings of the King, his Master. *, When the Undersigned considers, that be came to Paris to make peace, on conditions understood to have been r.opcised by France ; that notnithstand ing thr refusal of His Majesty of all the Hussies to ratify the treaty signed by M. D'Oubril, and the sign:l advantages obtained by His Majesty's arms in Spanish America, he frlt himself able to give as he has had the honour to do) to t is Excellency the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, assurances, that eio de mands of his Court, in its own favour, would not he essentially augmented : the Undersigned could not be but surprised at observing the wish of imputing to his Government an intention of shewing itself impe rious, and inclined to exaggerate. He is nit less surprised, that in answering a note, in which he had the honour to explain distindly to his Excellency, that it was en the conditions announced by his Ex cellency Baron De Budberg, that claims in favour of Russia were insisted on, his Excellency has thought it his duty to mark with the stamp of re probation, conditions proposed under circumstances totally different, by M. Novosilltisif, and of the na ture of which the Undersigned finds himself, in fad, completely ignorant. In short, after having explained himself to his Excellency as the Undersigned has done, and after having given him to understand, that he is only authorised to treat in a way certain to himself, that peace with Great Britain and Russia shall be made at the same moment ; and, after having received, in the official note of yesterday, the assuraner, that the French Government does not Refuse the admis sion of an article which shall have for its end the attainment of that indispensible object, the Under signed has no slifficulty in resuming the conferences with their Excellencies the French Plenipotentiaries, the instant their Excellencies shall have 'been au thorised to that die& " The Undersigned has the honour to renew to his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affaits, the assurance of his high consideration. rasa, Sept. 19, 1.146."
