'' ' • I beg leave to return your Lordeliip my thanks for having apprized me of the Circumstance by a speeiel Messenger ; i 1 Num', however, on going to M. de Talleynnd, at two o'clock, that he was airady informed of it.

I endeavoured to make him sensible that . this Measure was merely procautionery, end not in the leaet de. I' glee intended as a menace. I concluded my observations by r eheating that .it vas: merely a measure of self ,security, toundcd tin the armaments which were carrying on in the Sorts of France and Holland, remarking at the same time. were, had not even those armaments been as notorious as they, ~. were. the very circumstance of the first 'Consul's deternd• nation to augment so considerably his Army in time of Peace, would, have been a full and sufficient Ipotive for such a Measure of precaution. ' M. de Talleyrand now informed mc thet he was already acquainted with the business; that :it Messenger had that morning arrived, who had brought him a copy of the 111es sin;e, which he communicated to me, .1 could- draw from , }lint no reply whatever to my observations.

He dwelt much on this topic,. anti ex p itinen the measures to which he should be obliged to re a'urt ; he said that if England wished to discuss fairly, he 1 ' 1 4114 the same ; that if. England prepared for War, he 1 ‘ 6111 (tdo the same ; and that it England should finally de termine on hostilities, he, trusted to the support of the Vreneh Nution in t he- cat ion of honour and of justice. It was in vein that I repeated that Englund did not wish for War. That Peace was as neceasery to us as it 'could he to f cocci ; that all wo desired, end all that we were contending for, was security, that every thing proved to us that that security was i thriaten ix i b y t h e First Consul's views on Egypt ; and . that coneequently our refusal to CVat:Uate Malta, was become. as Muclea necessary measure of. precaution, as the defence of stlY parrot' His Majesty's Dominions To this kind of rea -3,9,11111C , NI, _de 'falleyrand - opposed the moderation of the Fi rst 'Consul, his great self-denial, and his determination to sacrifice evert the most favourite points to his sincere de sire to avoid a rupture.

The NVholeßritish. population will be obliged to put themselves underarms for .their defence, and their Export Trade will, even before the War, be in a state of stagnation throughout the whole el:tent of the Countries occupied by the French arms. The experience of Nations, and the course of events prove, that the distance between such a state of things and actual hostility, is unfortunately not remote. As to the differences,. of which mention is •- made in- His Britannic Mikiesty!s Message, we know nut of any that We have with England ; for it cannot be imagined that a serious intention can-have existed in England of evading the execu tion at' the Treaty of Amiens, under the protettion of a' Mi. litany Armament.

At the Court -which Was held at the ThUillerlCS upon that -day, he accosted me evidently under very considerable agitation. He began by asking me if I had any news from England.

I received your Lordship's pipatell, with its Inclosnes, this mornit:g early ; and 1 learnt at the same time that a Messenger had arrived train General Andreossy to Isl. de Trilleyrand ; siiorily after, M. de Talleyrand sent to desire I. would call upc.n him, which 1 accordingly did. He told me that he had not only received your Lordship's Note to the French Ambassador, but also the' Sentiinents of the First Consul upon it, - which he was desirous to communicate to me, . before he , re-dispatched the Messenger. This he did, and I refer your Lordship to the Commtinicatiorqwhich neral Andreossy Iwill make, according to his instructions, without loss of time. from the tenor of this Note, it appears that this Govern ment. is not:desirous to proceed to Extremities; that is to say, it is not prepared .so to do; and therefore it expresses a willingness to enter on the discussion of the point, which appears according to their conception, or rather to the inter pretation they . choose to give to it, the ITIOSt material.

The First Consul will not make any complaint relative to the 'extraordinary and unex peeled assertions of this At. issued by His Britannic Majesty.. Not one of thetn'is founded.

The termination of the discussions was announced . before they had begun. The issue of a diiiicult discussion has been declared before it arose. What would 'Europe, what would both Nations think, 'if they kneew that these discussiOns; announced by His Itritannic Majesty as so difficult to tenni— nate, were unknown to • the t rrnch Covernment ; ,and that the First Consul on' reading the Message, cotild not .com 7. prebend the meaning 01 either of the decl:Uations therein contained He has also abstained.fv.rn any ostensible step ; and what ever tnav have I)een 11w clamour, the attivity, the provoca tions of \Cu. hav•take.n place in England since that he has given no enters, he hasmade'no dispoSitions, no preparations.

Are we then returned to thee Age of Tournaments? Motives of this nature might have authorized, font centuries 'ago, the Combat of Thirties; hut they cannot, in this Age, be a rea son for War between the two Countries. It might suffree in this allied to reply to his rxecuency, that no Representation has been made by hi m on t h e subjed to the Government of the Republic; and that, if it wet - hut justice to grant satisfattion, the First Consul nad a right to expect that which was required by, M.

A' few days after the ratification of Pellet, one of. His Britannic Majesty's Ministers declared that the. Peace Esl4- hlishtuent must be considerable; and. the-distrust _excited hye thisdeclarationenede in-Parliament with as much bitterness, as impropriety, furnished a Commentary for the exaggera tion and alarms which were circulated in despicable 'Pante phlets, and in Newepopers as contemptible as those Libels. Since that time, tileSe.WriterS have bound themselves in variably. supported in their insolent of:ecreations by paetieu e lar phrases' taken frein the Speeches of some-leading-'Meter; hers of Parliament. These 'Speeehes, scarcely to be ex' e . everted by . -the News-writera themselves, have,. for .these eighteen motults, tended to encourage, insult against other, Governments to that degree,. that every European must be ()Minted, and every-reasonettio Englishman must be hunii hated, by such- unheard of licentiousness. What if we conned -with these tallies, proceedings more offensive and serious; the indulgence granted :to French criminals, publishing daily outrages in the French language ; the edit more inexcusable toleration extended to villains covered with crimes, and 'plotting assassinations incessantly, such as_Cfecieges who still continues to 'aside at London pro., meted; and having a considerable establishment ; in a word, the little justice which has been shown to aii leer represent. ations, flow are we to account for the publicity ob the come plaint which His Britannic Majesty has thought proper to- make respecting some indefinite wrongs which .

Lord Hawkesbury mentions an article in a newspaper, con, tainiag the report of.a.French In serious discus. skins an answer on this paint might be dispensed with; but it is neither a long nor difficult matter. A Colonel in the English Anoy has published a work in England, filled with the most atrocious and disgusting ca lumniet against the French Army and its Genera. The lies it contains have been contredided by the reception which Colonel- fiebastiani experienced. The publicity of his report was at tinet)i refutation and a reparation which the Ftench Army had a right to expect. On his arrival in Egypt, this of ieereto his great astonishment, found the English. Army there, although they should hove evacuated it, and the 'furls prodigiously-alarmed at the continuance of the Eng. Nall. Army, and at' its relations with the natives in rebellion and open revolt against the Sublime Porte. He must have conceived that the Treaties which connat us with the Porte, an d by which we have guaranteed to it the integrity of its possessions, compelled us to - unite our- Wires with that Power. It-was natural to think that t;;ltg. land meant to declare warfront the instant she had refused to execute the Articles of the Treaty. For after all, France is not' redalced to such a state ofdebaserneot es to suffbr Treaties made with her to be executed or not at pletsure.
