Ir was yesterday stated, in some of the Formed Evening Papers, that a Telegraphic account 114 4 been received from Deal, of Lord WH IT W T 's Ming landed yesterday forenoon. We ascertained that no such account had been received by the Tele. graph at four o'clock ; and our Letters from Dover this looming inform us, that his Lordship had not landed last night, when the Post came away from that place, nor was any Packet in sight. His Lord ship would probably not land till this forenoons in which case he cannot be in Town before the even. ing, :General ANDRROISY, who was in:lisposed, did not embark on MOndity evening, as wai cNpLa.cd, but he yesteiday intimated his intention of embark. ing in the evening: IT is not our intention to discuss at large the merits of the question which has just been brought to an issue between our Government and that of France, until the Papers relating to the transaction are be. fore the Public. At the same time we feel no reason to forbear making such observations as occur to us, upon certain points which have come authentically to our knowledge. _ . Not many months after the Signature of the Treaty of Amiens, complaints were made by the French Government, respeCting the Litenthusness of the British Press, and particularly inasmuch as that Licentiousness was manifested in Attacks fre. quently made in our Newspapers, animadverting with severity upon the Constitution of France, and, in some instances, reeding personally on the FIRST CONSUL himself. It was added also, that the tendency of these Attacks was to under. mine the French Government—that some of the Authors of them were Frenchmen, who ought to be sent out of the Country under the powers of the Alien Bill—and that no Peace could subsist between the two Nations, while such libellous attacks were 'permitted to be made. To these Representations it was answered, that the only remedy was in a reference to a British jury, and in the decision of .a Court of Law. This reply was deemed unsatisfaCtory, and the strangest re. monstrances were made on the part of France, to induce His Majesty's Ministers to propose measures to Parliament for the purpose of alterivg the Laws re:pains the Press. It is unnecessary to say, that this demand. was firmly and peremptorily refused, and a reply was made to the French Government, which, of course, will be included in the Papers to be presented to Parliament, and which will be found to do credit to those who dielateci it. Upon this, the demand on the part, of France was not persisted in, but not relisquisbed, and renewed in the course of the dis cussion respeuing Malta, &c. The same observation applies to the question of the Emigrants, and the French Princes. It was in. listed upon by •the French Government, that they should be abandoned by Great Britain. It is hardly necessary to add, that this was also refused. To have acceded to it, would have been ro have dishonoUred ourselves, and to have debased the Bri. tish Character. The subjeet was dropped for a time, Inn ;t wag ogiin recurred to in the course of the late discussions.—We mention these circum stances as indicative of a disposition on the part of France incompatible with Peace. We do not lay so much stress upon the intem perate expressions which have at difiaent times dropped from BONAPARTE, either in conversation with, Lord WHITWORTH, or with others, as many persona with whom we- have conversed upon this Ilubjed. The warmth of the FIRST CONSUL'S temper would be likely to lead him to indiscretions ,of this sort, upon which ultimately he would hardly 'be disposed to aft ; but confining . ourselves to those points which have been the subjed of formal comi. munication between the two Nations, we see such . leading aubjeas - ofdifference, that no pepon who con. siders theni, will feel surprise that the discussion did not terminate amicably. That in their endeavours to preserve. Peace; Concision enough was made by our Ministers, nobody will doubt. - Whether Conces. sion was the most probable means sof- attaining that point, is a subjeet much more questionable, and upon which hereafter we shall offer our remarks very fully.. With tweet to the termination of the Negotia. titan, it was in consequence of the proposed mediation of the Court ,cf St. Petersburgh, respefting Malta, that BONAPARTg determined to 1• I - et. the question of . Peace or War to his Council ; but it was referred to- . them with so . undisguised a, bias upon hie own mind in favour 'of deciding for the latter, rather than making any concession, and his opinions were known to have necessarily so much weight with the Conn ell, that no .doubt was entertained as to their deci. sion, as soon as it was known at Paris, that the question was to" be referred ! JOSEPH BONAI.AKTII, ,the Second Consul CAMBAC ER Es, and the Minister tALLEYRANUI all persons on whoie opinions the Cuter CONSUL very much relies? certainly ex. cued their most strenuous endeavours for the pre. ,servation of Peace. . Various reports have been in circulation res Pea. ing the renewal of the Negotiation. We have, how. ever; heard none.on which we can at all rely, and or. ders not only been issued for the commence. ment of Hostilities, but Hortiiitier have canal!) begun, and it is not improbable that by this time a blow. may have been Struck.. His:lVlajesty's Mi. nisters will certainly nut forger, that there is a large Fleet on its return from St. Domingo. There is no .Fleet of any consequence in the Ports of France, but a considtirablc number of small Vessels in the Ports of Ilolla'na'.; We hope in. our Paper of To.iiloiroV, tri he able to lay before the Ptiblic as much of till Correipon. dente between the two Governments a 3 obr Paper will c'ontain. Meanwhile; the following is liars of a Note deliiered by General . ANtmEossy to Lord ITAWictsnuity, on the tubjea of allusions t) the French Government in Parliamentary Debated and in the Public Newspapers. The Note is dated March ioh. EXTRACT. The First Cesul has had cause to he convinced that alt his representations on ail these pointA were uselesi, and that His Britannic' Majesty, regardlessOf the neighbduring Powers, was resolved to authorise every thing within. his dnininiOns ; but he did not on that account entertain a doubt Of the con tinuance of Peace, nor alarm Enrope with . the notification of war. He confined himself to this prlnciPle of conduit, to permit or prevent in Franee with respek to England, what ever should be permitted or previmted in England with re gard to France. .He has, however, expressed, and again expresses his wish, that means should be adopted to prevent in future any mention being madeof what is passing in France, either in the official discussions, or in the polemical writings . in England, as in like manner in the French official discussions and polemical writings, no mention whatever should be made of what is passing in England. Lord Ilawkesbury mentions an article in a newspaper, con- taining a report of a French Colonel. In,serious discussions an answer on this point might be dispensed With ; but it is neither a long nor difficult matter. A Colonel in the English Army has published a work in England, filled with the most atrocious ind disgusting ca. lumnies against the French Army and its General. The lies It contains have been contradiEled by the reception which Colonel Sebastiani experienced. The publicity of his repOrt was at once a refutation and a reparation 'which rh French Army had a right to expea. On his arrival in EGypt, this Officer, to his great astonishment, found the English Army there, although they should have evacuated it, and the Turks prodigiously alarmed at the continuance oldie English Army, and at its relations with the Natives in rebellion and open re.. volt against the Sublime Porte, He must have conceived that the Treaties whiCh conned us with the Porte, and by which we have guaranteed to it the integrity of its possessions, compelled us to unite ourselves with that Power. It was natural to think that England meant to declare War, from the instant she refused to exe cute the Articles of the Treaty : for, after all; France is not reduced to sucli a 'State of debasement, as to sulrer Treaties made with her to be executed or not at pleasure. ' Hence the researches made by this Officer, as to the forces which were in Egypt, and as to the position occupied by thc English Army. But Egypt has since been restored to the dominion of its lawful Sovereign, and the idea of a rupture between the two Nations, on account of the engagement contraCted with the torte, no longer exists. WI last night received the Paris Papers to the 15th instant. The departure of Lord Wutrwnr.rn from Paris•is announced in the Manitrur, but with. out any comment whatever. AA:ommunication was to he made on Saturday last to the Senate, the Legislative Body, and -the Tribunate, but it was to be made in a Secret Committee, as the govern. meet did not wish to publish or print any thing until they were informed of the arrival of the .French Ambassador at Calais, or of the part which the Britkh Ministry mean to take. French Funds have fallen to 51: 30. The Gazette of last night contains the Order of Council.passed on Monday, for granting Letters of Margt\e and Reprisals against the Ships, Goods and, Subjects of the French Republic. -There is liktwise an Order of Council against any Ships or Vessels belonging to any of His MAJESTY'S Subjetts being permitted to enter and clear' out for any of the Ports of the French Batavian Republics, or fur the Ports of any Country occupied by the Armies of France, until further Order ; and in , the same Order of Council a Genera) Embargo is laid on alt Ships belOnging to the French or Ititavianßepubllcs now in our Ports, or that may hereafter enter thew. The samnc Gaz,,rtt contain,. a Proclamation; rAis. ing the Bounty to Able Seamen to Ftve Pounds, to Ordinary Seamen to Two Pounds ten Shillings, and to Landmen Thirty Shillings. There is like.. wise another Proclamation, recalling British Seamen from Foreign Service, and pointing out the penalties of any being found aboard of auy of the Enemies' Ships Or Vessels. • Yesterday 'morning, about ten' .o'clock, 111 i MAJESTY and the DUKE of CUNittiß LAND, at tended by General Gw v WTI, left Bucktughtm. house, and rode to Harrow, and returned by the Edgeware Rodd, About eleven o'clock Hu MAitsTY and the PRINCESSES, attended by the Countesses of ,Avt.Es.

The five Ptkr NC EiS es were also present., It is with much pleasure we witnessed the ardent expressions of loyalty from the crowd who attended without the Theatre, as well as from :the audience, as it seemed to be an evident attestation of the pub_ lic sentiment resulting from the recent condutt of Government with respect' to France. This senti. meat burst forth throughout the Songs of God Save the Kill'," and " I:41e Britannia," which were given by the Vocal Performers, and warmly , echoed by the Audience. . The Theatre had a very numerous Audience, and the Royal Visitors seen to be- highly gratified with the entertainment o n , received.
