BER.NE, luxe I 2.—The following is the Note presented by the Charge d'Affaires of the French Republic to the tanti.atiman of Switzetland. " Beare, June 3, zSo3. - _ " The UndersisnedChrgé d'Affaires of the French Re public, has received orders from' his GoVetmnent to make • known to that of Helvetia, the new provocations of England, its hostilities, and the motives of defence, and honour, which have direded the condud of the French Government. The Treaty of Amiens was scarcely signed, when the English Government already meditated a breach of it. The conduct which it has adopted since that epoch, clearly announces that intention. It suffered the French Government to be daily insulted by its periodical Writers and by Pamphlets, the Authors of which, for the greater part Foreigners, were consequently in the power of Govern ment. It continued to give an asylum and protedion to dangerous Men pointed out by the French Government : Some were hostilely assembled at 'jersey, whilst others Were vomited on our 'Coasts 'by the English themselves,. without the Ministry doing any thing else than evading the complaints which were made to it upon that occasion. As much as good faith and a desire of executing quickly the Treaty of Amiens was displayed on the part of France, so much the more was craft.and 'delay exhibitedon the part of England. Ten months pasSed away without its being perceived that the English Government had the least disposition. to evacuate the Island of Malta, which, according to the term of the Treaty, was to lia.ve been at the end of three months. This Clause was too important for the French Govern merit to negleti• requiring its execution : it was then that' instead of that, came the Message by which the K iNc announced to Parliament, that formidable Armaments were preparing in the Ports of France and Holland, and that there existed between the two Governments important Discussions, of which the result was uncertain. All Europe knew; the objed of these Armaments, and as 'to the pretended Discus sions, they were, evidently imaginary, since the French' Go verninent had no knowledge of them. I t was necessary to de.. .mand an explanation with respeel to these false assertions, and it did it with that calmnessand dignity which was congenial with reason. The English Ministry, on the contrary, was as arrogant in ifs stile as unjust in its pretensions. Such is the constant ditEgence which it is easy to remark in the respective Notes transmitted in the course of that discui skin, in which one does not know at which to be more asto nished, at the indecent demaiult of the English Goyerninetu, or at the patient moderation of the l mt. Consul. The issue of such a Negotiation it was easy to fotesee. " The English Government published, on the 16th of May, a Declaration of War. His BILITANNtc MAjzsr forbid his Subjeels trona entering the Dutch and French French Ports, nr those which were occupied by Trench', Troops. He ordered an Ethhargo upon the Vessels belai,:- ing to those two Powers, that were in his Ports, anti upon the Persooi and Merchandizc that were on board those Ves sels. They authorized the fitting out of Privateer's 'against all Ships belonging to Frenchmen, or Inhabirahts of France ; and even before any Declaration of War, two English Ftigates took pos§4..ssion of two French •Merizhantmen at a littlealistance from Brest. The Government, disappointed in its ex pedation of maintaining the general Peace, was bound to adopt such mea sures as the dignity and the interests of the Republic required. It pubilahect all the Official Papers respelling the Nepotist- - tion with England, from the first overtures which led to the signature of the Preliminaries to the period at which England refused to comply with her engagements ; And being forced' 'to Wei' the decision of such great interests to the decision of Arms. the French Government wishes, by a frank explana tion of its ci , nduct, to answer the pretexts upon which Eng land justifies its aggression. ' The Helvetic Government will without doubt see in the Cortununication which is thus made to it, a new proof of .the deuire of the French Govarnment .to preserve those relations of Amity which have so long united France and Switzerland. Tile: Undersigned eagerly seizes this opportu nity of assuring the Luidaminan of Switzerland of his re. speaful consideration. (Sii;ucci) " GANDOLPHE." A Gentleman in Bristol has received a letter from Malta, dated May 12, at which time the Troops and People Were in complete health, nor had they been affetled with any contagion whatever. Part of the Troops from Egypt had performed quarantine, ind were on the point of sailing fur England. This refutes t h e many scandalous insertions in the French Papers, that the Plague rages very alarrniugly there. • According to private advices from France, Ge neral ANDR BOSSY has been ordered by the Govettn; tent to remove sixteen leagues from the ea,.ital. He incurred the displeasure of the Consular Despot from his honest reftn-al to become the medium of th e most gross and intam-us falscht , o6 respeCting the 'situation of affairs in this,Country. An English Lady, of, distinftion, just returned from France says, she saw, in almost every place. she passed,' printed bills exciting the French to, in. vatic this Country, saying, Britain shoUld be given up to general pillage, and that every man found in antis should be'put to death. The-Marquis of HUNTLY gave a grand Dinner on Saturday last, at the British Coffce.house, to a large party of friends. The Silver Arrows, given by the Town of Mtni.: .• selburgli, were shot lor on Saturday last by the Royat Company of Archers, and won by Sir GEO kca: MACKENZI 11, Batt. The Countess of. CIIOLMONDELEY had a route on Wednesday evening, which was attended try all the Fashionables in Town. When it is 'considered that Mr: TROTTER has been seven and twenty years Paymaster of the Navy, through all the connifts of Party; and that none of Mr. TIERNEY'S predecessors thous,ltt of displacing him, though we prestime that some of them might have found a brother-in-law,. Or a 'nearer relation; we cannot but feel surprise -that Mr. TIERNEY should have ventured upon so dis. gusting art aft as that of removing from the Office a person who has discharged itsdut e l y es o s . o of lo t n h g e izt a d tio so n respectably. Such an aft as this ,ca.tiat but lessen Mr: Ti sassy's clingier in the much more than it is ever likely to be exalted by any part of his public conduCt.

COLCHESTER, JUNE 28. YESTERDAI( mornieg about six o'cltick,.the East Essex Regiment of Militia marched Iran the Bar racks, to take up their ground at IlFaLltiold Heath, where they are to be encamped ; and about twelve; on the same day, the Royal 1 3 ,tmbroke Fuzileers ar rived from Chelmsford, and took possession of the Barracks the Essex had quitted. They, are to re. main here,- being attached to the Royal Artillery. This morning, about five o'clock, the 90 regi ment, or Gordon Highlanders, marchedftoin hence to the front of the B lucks, whete they halted, and were shortly afterwards joined by the 4zd or, Royal Highland regiment, and proceeded from thence for Wheeley, where they are to be encamped with the 26th or Cameronian regimen!, and the whole arc to be brigaded under the command of the Hon. Ma_ jor.General JOHN Hope. They were preceded by their four battalion guns, under the command of an Officer of Artillery,—We need hardly remark that the two last mentioned regiments were among the number that behaved so nbbly in Egypt. We understand it has been proposed to a)vern, meet to make some trse of the Thames Wastrmen on thv presep critical occasion. They would certainly form a' strong body of men, and might be very ad vantageothly employed. ' • The exemption of Foreigners, residing . ,..ibroad, from the Tax upon the' Funds, is politic *in, well as honourable to the national chard Act. Foreigoers have long had occasion to look upon this Country as the best sanattary for Property, as well as the most secuie abode of Freedoml and such an exemption in . their favour grounded upon public faith, must increase their confidence in the li!itisliGovernment, and consequently tend to an augmentation at. n.t. tinnal wealth. Dr. C.Citrtt crMAEt, SMITH, who has just returned with. his family from France, was iyon a„visii in that Country to the Count DE LA foutt, a French Nobleman of the most accomplished charatler.— The Count was too wise and amiable a charktcr to interfere in the turmoil ReVolutionary ;Ina he has been permitted to recover pare of his pas, sessions. The CHIEF CONSUL 'complains very heavily against us for not making a di:claration of War previous to a renewal of hostilities. Without en tering into the .t:iuetition, how far such condua is justified by the law of Nations, and the modern pradiee of every State of Europe, the affirmative of which, however, is on all sides *admitted, it may be fairly asked, whether the CHIEF CONst7L, it he were fully prepared for 'a Wlit with this Country, would himself naye thought it necessary to Use such a ceretwiny 'before he ventured upon an attat'k. We believe that all mankind will ot;ree - this point, and acknowledge, tint the CHIEF CONSUL would nut stiffer his views to be thwarted by any. consnitrationa of national The disposition.Of the French Qovernment to in. suit ibis Country is mmifest in trifles as 'well a s matters of the highest national Inipdrtance, as is, observable in the tollowing tad. in the room in the Office e ut NitIiGA.UP, at Calais, in which all pe ls on s are introduced who are to have their Vassports ix- Artililed, the walls are covered, with the most abu, sive Caricatures against this Cttuntry. When i t i s consul , ,ted that NI eNGACID is a Public Fundionarv, and that the house in' which he reside,. is an 011 ice under the sabition of the French Government, it is im i r , ssible to suppose that . he would presume to, decorate the Ilace in this manner if he bad the least reason to belii•ve, that such a mod e o f in,ulting the Thitish clovernment‘would not be acceptable to his own. This disgraceful ()wrap upon ; the' feelings of ILt,tglislinten,wlin have beeti admitted into the room, has excited .11inch severe co ntinent on their hot ‘Vitinaat ciF.t, and a pt.r.everaticc in- such censure has only. prOduc'eti obstacles in the waY of obtaining the .confirmation of Passnonts I , It is cOnfidently said at Paris, tint joAselt 80.
