He re. grets that the suspension of business, which takes place in the offices on Sunday, did net allow him to send it sooner. As to the p.raiports which they have applied for themselves, the Undersigned flatters hi Itself that they will cons:rue his delay in sending them, in the way molt natural and likely to obviate any ,oPt of complaint en their past. The Undersigned will never dread being responsible for any delays, the objea of which is to continue for a few days the homes o 4 pacifying two great Powers, and of put ting an end to the miseries of War in all parts of the wo-id. 'the Undersigned entreats their Excellen cies to accept, &c. "CH. M. TALLEYR AND, Prince of Benevento." (No 22.) " The Under igned Plenipotentiaries of his Bri tannic Majesty, would not have delayed answering the note of the It th August, transmi ted to them on tne trot of their Exc•llencies the Plenipotentiaries of the French Government, but the repeated ap plications which they made to his Excellency the Min.sters for the Exterior, for passports for their messenger, having remained without an answer, etry conceived it to be their duty previously to is c o ails, whether they Were to be a:lowed to enjoy a ftee a .el uninterrupted communication with their Court, such as has always been maintained, in similar eases. in all the Governments of Europe. o The explanation which the Undersigned have r ce.ved on the part of his Excellency the Minister Eoteign Affairs, induces them to hope, that on no canon whatever a similar delay will take pI cc. Atter having duly considered the Note of then Excellencies, the Undersigned perceive that the British Government. tar from assuming to itself to require from the French Gavel nment whatever grestitarions it may think proper, without feeling it self under any obligatton co restore any thing to France, has never showed any other inclination than to treat with the French Government on the basis proposed to it by France itself, such as it was ex pressed in the Note of Lord Lauderdale, namely, • to treat generally upon the principle of the uti pos. sotetis, which was striflly to be adhered to, except in the ear. of Hanover, which it W. 45 proposed to ac cede wholly to His Britannic Mjae.ty.' Were it even possible to mistake the conse quences al ices necessarily flow from this principle, tde pertonAL discussions which took place on the 9th instant, between the French Plenipotentiaries and the Vostemigned. will net allow them to entertain doubt, that the proposition thus declared was per leell7 nude:stood by the Plenipotentiaries. course, the Undersigned can only repeat, that agreeable to the instruatons of their Govern stem, t;iey cannot do otherwise than insist upon the seen moon of this principle as a preliminary. It is only; upon this condition that they have orders to continue the uegociation. " As soon as exis principib shall be acceded to, the Undersigned wil! be ready to commence the dis cuss:tin of t'e other points indicated in the letter of Lord Lauderdale. " The Und-rsigned have only to add, that if the French Government manifest an inclination to keep to the proposition. such as His Britannic Majesty supposes it tohave been made by the French Govern ment, they will consider it as one of the most fortu nate circumstances—as a circuoistance which, ac cording to the espression of Mr. Fox, cited by their ffreellenciee, holds out a promise, • of a peace ho trtarable for both nations, and of a natuie, at the same time, to insure the permanent tranquillity of Barripe: ribs; Awe. it, .‘ LAUDER!)

" We think it necessary to acinaint your Excel lency. that at an early hour in the morning of the 12th inst. we transmitted to their Excellencies the French Plenipotentiaries, a note in answer to one received from their Egeellencies on the II th of the same iumth. In this answer we endeavoured to point out a second time the subject which appeared to us to require, under some kind of form, a pre vious explanation. to enable us, in conformity with our instrudions, to proceed in the present negoeia lion. " The silence of their Excellencies the French Ple nipotentiaries on this sublet}, affords us room to suppose. jhat at the present moment, we are not to expee such an explanation psi their part. " (r is from this consideration, thee we feel an anx ious desire to put an end to the general expedations of both conotries, where there is so little probability of their ben?, reaiised. We are aware that the appli. cation which we have made, under these circuna mantles. for pauports, to enable us to return to Eng land, .mly admit a amstrudion calculated to defer that happy moment, when the views of the French Government will he drawn more closely to those which it was. sup,:osed to entertain. To destroy the possi'ai:ity of such inconvenience, we feel it our duty to easure your Excellency, that any proce eding Which'sball tend to obstrud the renewal of the nego tiation, 'will; op that account, be contrary to our in tentions; although, for the reasons we have men tioned, we feel ourselves under the necessity of put ting an end to our mission. " It only remains for us to assure your Excellen cy. that if, fur th e happiness of the too nations, we should chance to be deceived in the inferences which we have made from the silence of the French Pie. leipOtentiaries, we shall wait a reasonable time for explanaticas their Excellencies may Lave to Offer. .

" lit. That on the morning of the 12th, a Note, signed by the Undetsigned sod Lord Yarmouth, of the date of the 116, was transmitted to his Excel lency General Clarke, in which the persons urdei signed d:.cla-ed, that the British Government, tar from presuming to 'sae from the French Gavel it ment snch restitutions as it might think proper, with out being under as obligation to make any restitution to France, was never aCluated by any other wish than to treat with the French Government upon the basis proposed by France, such as it Was declared in Lord Lauderdale's Note, viz. to treat generally upon the basis of the sal pnsidetts. which was strietly to be ad hered to except in the case of Hanover, which it was proposed should be fully restored to his Bri tannic Majesty. That, were it even possible to be mistaken as to the consequences necessarily Bowing from this principle, the personal discussions which took place on the 9th instant, between the French Plenipotentiaries, and the Undersigned, did not leave a doubt remaining that the proposition so made was perfe&ly understood by the,e Plenipo tentiaries, and that in consequence the Undersigned had only to repeat, that, conformable to the in strutnions of their Government, they could not do otherwise than insist upon The previous acknow ledgment of this principle; and that it was upon this condition only that they would be allowed to continue the negociatien." " 2d. That on the 14th instant, the Undersigned, conjointly with Lend Yarmouth, had the honour to inform his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Af fairs, in writing, that the silence of their Excellen cies the French Plenipotentiaries, on the subjeCt of the note of the 11 ifs instant, gave room for suppos ing, that at the present moment they were not to expel an explanation, such as they required in their note of the 11th, which would authorise the Under signed to proceed with the asgociation, agreeably to their instructions. •• That, from this consideration, they felt an anxiety re put an end to the general expectation of both nations, seeing there was so little appearance of its being realised. That they were swats that an application for passports, under such circum stances, to enable them to return, might be suscep tible of construftions, of a nature to defer that happy moment, when the viewsof the French Government would be drawn closer to those which it was sup posed to entertain. That to prevent the possibility of such an inconvenience, they felt it to be their duty to declare, • that any proceeding, the objeft of which should be to obstruct the renewal of the ne gociarion, would, for that very roason, be contrary to their Intentions, although for the reasons before mentioned, they found themselves obliged to put an end to their mission.' " The Undersigned. perceiving that no answer was given to these communications, presuceekohat this delay might be the result of a temper favour able to the progress of the negnciation, and that he would at last be recompensed by an answer accord . ing to his manner of considering it. Whoa be per-, ceived that none was forthcoming, he still pursued that line of conduct which must have incontestibly evinced the sincerity of the inclination he had ex pressed, to receive such explanations as amid put It in his power to renew the ()Netts of his mission. •• But if on the 14th inst. the Undersigned, in conjnoCtion with Lord Yarmouth, saw himself under the necessity to declare to his Excellency the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, his apprehensions (in con sequence of the silence of the French Plenipoten tiaries) that no answer would be given on this sub jeEt ; and moreover, if at the period when they found themselves obliged to declare the necessity under which they were, in obedience to the orders of their Sovereign, to demand passports, the Under. signed has no °cession to remark to his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, how imperimsly the new delays, since arisen, prescribe it to the Un dersigned to renew immediately his demand. •• At the same time, the Undersigned feels it or. cesa , y to add, that not being able to persuade him self that in case the answer should not be favourable, his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, would defer for an long a time the adoption of the only alternative, the ttansrnission of passports, he does not wholly forego, even at this moment, the expedlation of the renewal of the proposition, such as the Ministess of His Britannic Majesty conceived to have been mode by the French Government, be cause it is only by these means that the hopes of the two nations can he realized. " Should these h pet even be disappointed, ttie Undersigned, will paver regret s delay which has afforded him an npportunity of proving, in the in ) , t uneanivocal aianner, the earnest desire by which His Ssitinnic•Nlajesty Ills always been animated for a permanent and honourable peace, of which the Majeety has 'even the strongest proof,. in au .:Lurisi.l the Uablerbigttld . w ',feat !spa obs basis elrigielellYlF4x 4 . l ht P r ifteeil 4'eltV ePlgele re fleetion, that the lin ersigarjnas supported satit.ng cont i nue d * gate .t mocorioGrjr, withant pin:testing in the sentilleserlegt:e agithist 4.

Mr. LOCKE says, mankind are retrained by three classes of laws—the law of God, the civil law, an I the law of b.*-,er, of pu'slic opinion. Of these, the law of opinion is the most binding ; be cause men hope so escape the law of Gad, by repentance ; the civil law, by interest and influence ; but no man can expea ti elude the law of honour ur ; became within that law, every man is a judge, a juicy, and a witness.—Corporal Coasi.lT, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT., and other modern heroes of the same class, seem to know this dot:trine well. In wri ings under-their hand, or paid for by them in the Newsp spers, they plead to the jurisJilion of the Court. They affe.9 to set the Irate of public opinion at defiance, and treat with levity and contempt those laws, in the support of which, honourable men daily sacrifice their lives. In the estimation of these heroes " the age of chivalry, that cheap defence of nations, is past." It is " a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Could the Jacobins who set this example, bring it into general imitation, ....Frearit! mart 6e lour. The French, to this moment, are not masters of Calabria, a pitiful provi.sce in the peninsula of Naples ; and why' because the law of honour and public opinion was against them; while the French armies have travered the extensive territories of Prussia, as free from annoyance gs if they were the retinue of their legitimate Sovereign. We have been led to these oheervatiems by the- following paragraph in The Courier of last night : " We have Authority To state, cut we do so with great pleasure, that the Reports very generally cir cul tied, of its being the intention of Ministers to increase the Property-Tax to fifteen per Cent. are wholly w:thout foandation. These Reports 4ave arisen, we snspea, from. the circumstance of Papers and Accounts, respeCting the Tax, having been re cently called for by Government, not with a view of increasing it, bet to ascertain its produce, that the flourishing state of the Revenue may be alluded to in the King's Speech." This is, perhaps, as impudent an imposture as was ever praCtised by The Curter, and that is raying a great deal. There is not one word of truth in it, nor the slightest ground for it. Reports are not, nor have been very generally circulated, of its being the intention of Government to raise the Property Fat to fifteen per cent. The assertion in She Courier, which is palpably false, could have •been only made and invented :"..sr the purpose of alarming the public mind. But though our limits do not per mit us to chastise such conduCt according to its deserts, at present, the ConduCtors of that Paper may be assured, that they shall not escape with • impunity. . We this day continue the Diplomatic Correspond ence which took place daring the late negociation for peace, between this country and France, as published in the Maniteur. We hare authority to •state, that in many important points it differs ma terially from the of copy, now printing for the purpose of being laid before Parliament in the en suing Session. The French Government, well aware that it is the visual practice in this country, to have the pspers, in the first instance, laid before Parlia ment, by order of His MAJtST Y. and that they are afterwards printed by order of the House, have stolen a march upon Is. With all their suppres- • sions and alterations, however, they have not been able to make out a good cs.e ; and yet we are afraid that these alterations and suppressions are an great, that we shall be obliged to republish the Correspond ence, as it will be laid before Parliament.
