Cunbul 4 - - 5Si I Red. Ann. - s 9 THE SUN. 60LEM C,JUIS DICLRE FALIUM ALIDEAT ? 1: 0 N ON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1805• TH e Public will recolleEl that when we exclu. siv.ely announced the arrival of a Messenger from France with Dispatches containing Overtures for Peace, we were assailed by some of our Cotem. poraries with the most illiberal abuse. The cur. redness of cur information was, however, soon con. , firmed from the highest Authority. When we an. flounced the fad of the Overtures being made, we at she same time expressed our opinion that BONAPARTE Was not sincere in his wishes fur Peace, and that his Pacific Overtures were only an insidious attempt to disunite Great Britain from the Powers on the ,Continent, with whom she was in a state of eonfi. dential connexion and relation ; and to prevent the formation of 'that Confederacy which he was con. : seious he had provoked by innumerable ails of ag. 'gressinn and insult against every State in Europe. The French Papers, which we received yesterday, prove, that we, were as corral in our opinion as we were in .our •fail— The ardent desire which is expressed in BoivAl , MCI eh Letter for the restora. (ion of Peace, and his anxiety for the Cause of Hu. manity,are suddenly changed for the more congenial language of Insult and inveilive. If BONAPARTE had been sincere in his desire of restoring tranquil. lily, the answer of, Lord MuLOs AV it afforded him ample means of gratifying his wishes ; but his in. tendon wit( merely to disconned England from the Continent - ; and, therefore, when he found that the British Government saw through this insidious Plan, he threw off the mask, and, again had re. course to ‘liS old strain of 'abuse and menace. We say his has had recourse, because it is cibVious that he didated the language held in the Senate, the Legislative Wily, and tht Tribunate, by his creatures. The Letter which he addressed to. fits Mist esTv was evidently intended for publication, because 1w probably a nticipated the Antwer which lte.receiied ;to his . ,proposal, and flattered himself that 'it"Vvould make some impression upon the un-' fortunate People over whom he tyrannizes, and whose growing discontent made it necessary for hi m to adopt Lorne new expedient to delude and pacify.

TALLEYRAUD, MINISTRIt FOR FORSIGN AFFAIRS. " His MAJESTY has received the Letter which has been addressed to him by the head of the French Government, dated the 2cl of the present month. There is no objsa which s MA! EsTY has more at heart than to avail himself, of the first opportunity to procure again to his Subjects the advan tages at a Peace founded on a basis which may not be in compatible with the permanent Security and essential In terests of his States. His MiSJ ES4PY is persuaded that this, end can only be attained by arrangenients which may at the same time provide for the future safety and tranquillity of Europe, and prevent the occurrence of the dangers and calamities in which it is involved. Conformably to this sen timent, His MAJESTY feels that it is impossible for him to answer more particularly to the Overture that has been made him, until he shall have had time to communicate with the Powers of the Continent with whom he is engaged in con fidential connexions and relations, and particularly with the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, who has 'given the strongest proofs of the wisdom and elevation of the sentiments with which he is animated, and the lively interest Winch he•takes in the safety and independence of Europe.

After the proces-verbal of the last sitting was read and agreed'to, the Counsellor of State, Reg. vault (de St. .Jean cl'Angely), Treilhard, and Berenger t were introduced. M. Regniiult (de St. Jean d'Angely) thus addressed the Tribu. nate : " Gentlemen, the Government of England, in publishing imperfealy the commencement of a ne. gotiation with France, has violated the Law of Nations, and imposed' on His Nl,jrsty' the FA R .. peror an obligation to -rnak.:e. known to France, and to Europe, the circumitanczs 'of the case with all ac. curacy. " Europe arkl.France will observe to what fresh sacrifices of. selt.hve, of every sentiment of vain glory, a nohle heart, full of pride, and je.alous of its renown, has submitted, in: order to spare the edit ion of houran blood, of the blood of his 'cook more endeared to his lee. They will perc,•iyc that the first. warrior of his age,has entiew. voured to re s tore, as soon as . possible, to peace and to repose, the existing generations, whose tranquillity and happiness from henceforth is the dePre .,4 Of his wishes, and will c , ntintie rite sole glory which he tvisle; to add to the glory already acquired by'his military triumphs. These semi. Ments, Gentlemen, ,at, once . the thoughts and the aaions of His IVI,j-sty. , • " And should it be asked how a man, gifted with a 'charaelcr mote vigorous, who has pro'ved himself more eriterprising and more daring than the must daring and enterprising person. recorded in history ; how a man, in the vigour of.impaslioned youth, could, in desiring peace, triumph at once over his remembrances find his hopes ; how the General of five hundred thousand brave men could keep i n subjedion the most noble, as well as the must ab. solute - the passions, that of renown;—how he could renounce the glory which he could still BC. quire in this'eareee of arms, in which .he has en. countered only viauries : it !Rust he answered-- this man has need of the repose and of the happiness of the world. If one asks how a young Monarch, incessantly pursued by cowardly enemies, attacked by vile sie. famers, menaced by assassins, silenei hie personal resentments, and resolves to present the olive branch to the Cabinet that hires his defamers, and pays wages ,to his assassins—the answer is, this Monarch is above the passions or common men. If one recol. !eels how Great Britain, bravino, morality, arid the Law of Nations, has prostituted her Am bassadors, degraded her must distinguished sOdier l , by the vilest tundions. by the most shamtful aims ; if we consider how she employs the treasures `of her commerce, acquired in coottmpt of the'Law ,of Nations, and of all laws, to pay the fabricators of infernal machines, lo'organi2e conspiracies, the traces of which are still in t he m id st of us, and which have excited • cries of indignation that re. echo throughoUt Europe. If we trace our to our, selves such a piaure, and ask how the Chief of this great Nation, marked by France and Europe as the . avenger of so many outrages, sat isties in his heart the malice and hatred which would prevail in an urdina.. ry soul---ice. must answer, the man, to whom the great Nation hail given its Crown, aspires from that Moment only co the title of Father of the French.
