Government having. discarded in such imptirtant circumstances.." • - That the Island:of LamPedosa did : nut belong to . France, that it was under the sovereignty of - a Foreign Power, and that as for the desire of His Britannic Majesty to haVe it in possession, it did pat belong to the First Consul eitber, to concede, or to refuse it. That the independence of the Order and Island of Malta, was_ the result of a special artittle of the Treaty of Ainiens ; that with respea to that, the First. Consul could not. make any new deteymina. tion ,without the concurrence, of the two other Contrading Powers to that Treaty, his. Majesty the Kingbf Spain and the Batavia!, Republic. That the independence of the Island of Malta was guaranteed by his Majesty the Eniperor of Ger. many, and that 'the ratifications .of that guarantee were exchanged; that their Majesties_ the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia had 'guaranteed the independence of the Order and. the Island of Malta ; that the guaranty of these Powers had . been demanded by England, as well as by Fiance ; that it was the duty of the Firsi Consul to accept them; that the First Consul could not listen to any proposition • relative to the independence of the Order and Island . of ,Malta, wittthut previously making it known to them, and knowing the dispo. shin,' of the, guaranteeing Powers. That a more numerous body of French Trdops • were agiin, on the moment of the Message, station. ed in Holland, in virtue of a Convention concluded between that Republic and France; and that the, Filst C.o.lsul ba . d' - not - hesitated to declare that he witi evacuate Holland as' soon as the'stipulations oft • the Ti ! :ary 01:Amiens Aall be carried into compleat execution on the part of England. To this Note,. which in itssxpressions, in its exaelness, and abnyi all the preicisiun of its motives, breathes nothing but equity, peace, and inotira, tion, his Excellency Lord . Whitworth replied by a peremptory demand itf . 'Passports, which he would make use of on Wednesday,., the 4th of May, at five o'cl9ck in the morning. The , French. Government sensibly perceived the .contro" st of such an absolute determination with the cl4atier of benevolence, justice, and conciliation, which, .un.ler every circumstance, and principally in the latter, are al way4.attached to its proceedings. Nevertheless it believes it .a duty to sacrifice to the interests Of huinanity. It would not abandon the hopes of Peace till the last moment, and the Under. signed remits to his Excellency Lord, Whitworth, a new Note; by which Ftance.consents that Malta be garrisoned by one of the three guaranteeing Powers, Austria„ Russia, or Prussia. - _ • This propoSition appeared to Lord Whit,worth himself satisfaaory to the pretensions ,of his Court, lie sto . petuled his departure, and.took, the Note ad refireilduni. •• . • • In the mean tide the Ambassador of the Republic io LUndon, irifuktned of the' demand of. Lord Whir, worth, acParis, for his passports to return to Eng.: : land; had received orders , to hold - himself ready. for his departure. He accordingly demanded }fit pao prts,.which were delivered to him the...atnc hour. The' mezzo terrains, proposed by the French 00. I. , !rnment softened dowm the article of the Treaty of Amiens, but it h - ad the double advantage Of al), poaching as, much as possible, to . the spirit,of it, that is to' say, to make M a lt a indipentlen(of the, two Nations, and to -cfrer the guarantee st, much desired, and which the Briti s h Mi n i str y prete nded to be the sole object (if their alarms. .; The' British Government felt the force -of these. reasons;and the Unhappy consequences which War entail, but offered no other f , ply than by making a false charge. The r ith of this month Lord Whit. worth transmitted a Nt6re, in which :he declared that Russia had refused that which had been de. manded of her. •The guaranteeing, Powers being three in number, if Russia. had iefineil, there still remain 'de Em.. peror of germany "ninl ,the King of •Prus,ia; But bow eculd make known her setitinietitS on a new proposition, made within a few days ? land knew. that Rustkiiritnd Pros,ia had . t)rop,, , ,ied to guarantee the Independetuce of Malta' with slight jrwd,fiotinns, :Ind that the French Gritiernment hastened t o accept the - saia guarantee ; ;rid frbuf the ,fitielity to lIIS. eng:igetuents, which chi,r,ieteristi the Emperor Alexander, there Wits no doubt 'but he . . . would accept the proposition ofirtid to him :.But Providence, which somettmes,pleas'es to' confound b.td faith, oo . ordered, that (tt the saute jirre, and eft the very same mo m ent r! , ;!r L or d WI- l i / wott h re. milted .Note, a Rus,i,tn CoUriir arrived to the Plenipotentiariei of that.

The : :Undersigoe.ir hasten. ed, on the tzth,. to make known to _Lord Whit worth, by a note, the error in which his Court mained, noctioubttng bur that, siinie it was the only. oblation 'that . hati been made to the-projet which had' been preented, from the moment it should _ know the .p4:iitiVe and reiterated declaration of Russia, the Court of London, would be eager to - ad. here to the placing of Malta in- the' hands of one of the three guaranteeing Powers. What, Men, Was tW astonishment of the Undersigned, when LOrd Whitworth, withauf entei . ing into any exiianation, and neither seeking to cowraditi,nor to discuss the declarations which the . Undersigned had made, to him. stated the same day,,in a note, that the period of his instructions was rrived—that he had orders to set out within thiity,,six hours after the fleliver,i of . _ his last Note—and reiterating the detnand,of his passports, the Undersigned immediate) , 'remitted them to him. , , Would the'English Anillassadaritaveined-other. had the French Governmeht - been besieged in a place battered in breach ; 41)(1. if it had been a questiun, nut of the most important interests which the British Cabinet have treated foreight hundred years, but of a simple capitulation ? The overture to negotiatz har been preceded .hy Armaments arrogantly announced. Every day, evely hour, the resumption of lwstilities has been , sigitalized. • =And what is the Ultimatum -which has been pre. rented 'to the French Government to be signed witin the course of a day ? It must consent to give - an Island which does not belting ,to it ; it must itself violate a solemn Treaty to its own detriment, under the pretence that Eng. land has need against it of anew Guarantee, • that it .be wanting in all'the regard, due, to the other con. tra4ting Powers, by destroying,, without their con. currence, the .Article which, owing to:considera. Lion for them, underwent the longest discussion at the period of the conferences; that it should equally fail in the considerations which are due to the Gua. ranteeing Powers, by consenting that an Island, the, independence of which ,those Powers . desire, should remain for ten years under the authority of the British Crown ; , that it should ravish from the Order of Malta, the soVereignty of the State that has been given to it, and that, this sovereignty-be transferred to the inhabitants ; that by this spolia. tiob it should offend all the Powers which have re. - cognised. the re.eseablishment of this Order, which have guaranteed ir, and which, ,in the arrangements of Germany, have secured to it Indemnities for the losses which it has sustained. I Such is the basis. tt f thi s Uf t i matum , w hi c h - presents a,series of pretensions,klwayi encreasing in - proportion to the moderation t.hiclithe Government .of the Republic has:displayed. 'At first, England consented to the preservation, of the Order of NIA ta, andsoltiy wished to subjed the. Order and its States to the British authority. • Now, and . for the first time, the - abolition of the Ordcr is dentinded.,., ai:d this must be consented to within the space- of thirty-six hours. But ,even were the conditions definitively pro.. posed.as conformable-to the Treaty of Amiens and the interests.of France, as they are contrary to them, the--mere form of. the.clemand, the term of thirty-six hours which is prescribed for the reply, would have prevented any doubt limn remaining of the determination of the French Government. No France will never- recognize in - . any Government the right of annulling, by a single-ate of its will, - the stipulations of a, reciprocal engagement. ll she has pertnived , that- under . forms tantamount 'to ~ threats, there should be presented a verbal Ultima., - turn of seven days, an • Ultimatum of thirty.slx hours, and Treaties to Ile concluded before they . are nekotiated, she can have no other obje.ft than lo:ie., - 'claim the British Government .by the example of her moderation; but sho.can never consent. to any thing that may compromise: the interests of her digt,ity and of her power.. . The Undersigned is therefore charged to declare to - his Excellency. .Lord Whitworth, that noconii deration, the form and tneaning,of which do novae- Cord with.the usages observed between Great powers, and with the principle of the most perfedequality between , both States, will be admitted by France.. 'That nothing will . compel the French .Govern* meat - to di'spose of territories which do not belong to it ; and that it never will acquiesce in England, having the right of violating in any point whatever, the Treaties that have been nud e wi t h it.
