It is not for us to prevent your contracting such friendships as you may think fit with Othet GovernMents, as we cannot indulge a wish to effe& what is eithet-unjust or absurd; But it is one thing to form alliances which are ag - 7eeable to you—it is another thing that we should concur in them, 'and aid you in contradi.ig them.

" I received the day before yesterday, the Dis patch of your Excellency, of the ilith. After having examined the contents with ail due attention, I do not find therein any argument of sufficient force to induce our Government to abandon the opinion it has already adopted ; viz. that any Negotiation to which Russia should not be a party, would be rejea ed. We are desirous of Peace, but of no Peace which would compromise the dignity of our Sovereign, or the honour or interests of the Nation. If we were to negotiate without :the concurrence of Russia, to which we are so closely united, we should consider ourselves justly liable to reproaches, for not adher ing ti that scrupulous fidelity in our alliance, which we deem the glory of the British Nation.— When we require that Russia should be com prised in the proceedings, we only at on that prin ciple of reciprocity which we ourselves should ex pea from that Power. Should the Plenipotentiaries of the three Powers be assembled, how is it feasible to suppose that any advantage will be gained on our side by the plurality of voices ? or that there can be any similarity between the meeting of such parties and a General Congress : in filet, there can be but two parties, the one is France, the other the two allied Powers. Besiles, ifyou con ceive that such material advantages would result from the joint assistance of two Allies, it would be only necessary that you should yourself select some one of.your own Allies to co-operate with you. " We sincerely desire to avoid needless contro-. versy, and shall not enter into any discussion with . your Excellency regarding the conclusion you draw from the events of the last campaign • I will only re mark by the way, that I do not see wily any alliance sbould be considered ineffectual with respea to the Power adhering to it, because one of the parties to it has been separated by the calamities of war. With respea to the overture you advert to from Rossia,we know nothing regarding it ; but whatever it may be, we are convinced that that Power will do nothing derogatory to its high character, or• to weaken the bonds of amity and . confidence subsisting with Eng- , land. No Tender will br received after Twelve *'Clo s ek on the Dqy of Treaty, nor any noticed unless the Party, or an Agent for him, attends. Mrs. Drugget, Mrs. SPARKS.' boxes 6s.

To avoid all misunderstanding, I think it is my duty to propose to you, Ist, To negotiate according to the same preliminary forms which were alopted under the adthinistration of the Marquis of Rock ingham in 1782—forms indeed which wer=e not so happily revived in .the Treaty of Lisle, but u hicli had complete success in the negotiation that pl'e ceded the Treaty of Amiens. 2d, To establish, as the ground of the negotiation, two fundamental principles ; the first I obtain from your letter of the 26th of March, viz. 1 That the two nations should' have for their leading objcEt a peace honourable for each, and for their Allies ; at the same time, that the peace should have a tendency to secure by its terms, as much as possible, the future repose of Europe.' The second is a mutual concession with respect to right of intervention and guarantee in the affairs of Europe, both continental and maritime. His Majesty not only has no objection to make such an avowal, but he is even desirous to establish it as a principle; and in thus declaring to you his real intentions, I think I am giving you a decisive proof of his pacific inclinations. His Majesty hopes,,' . that in thus ekcluding all subject of complaint and uneasiness, he has done, on a subject which Interests materially the cause of humanity, what is due from him both as a Man and as a Sovereign Prince - . " It would be with particular reluaance • that I should witness the termination of a discussion' which has been prcje6ted under such favourable appear-; ances yet, at least, I should possess one source of LL buted to France, since she has required nothing but what is just and reasonable. . _ •- - . • ARBITRATION ;. • Or, FREE AND EASY.

STATE OF THE NEGOTIATION. This Day was published, price n. sd. Third Edition. MR. STOCKDALE has the honour to announce to the Public, that a numerous Impression of this m Pamphlet is now rely for delivery. The fullness in which its Statements arc continued by the French`Official Papers, Itore occasioned so large a demand for it, that the Trade «re requested to be ouly in their applications, " To recur to the material question : your Excel lency says, that there are three forms in which the discussions ca❑ be conducted; yet you say, that the first stated is inadmissible. After what I have al ready written, you ought to conclude that the third is equally repugnant to our notions of justice and honour, and to our views of the interests of our as to the principle; but, indtvendently of the delay it would occasion, it is not,. at the present moment, practicable. " It is, therefore, with much concern that I ex plicitly declare, that at this time, I do not discover any prospe& of peace, should your Excellency not be disposed to treat in the form that we have already proposed. I shall now add, that this is an es sential preliminary, not only for the reasons I have had the honour to explain to your Excellency, but because any other mode would generate the suspicion that you entertained the chimerical.design imputed to you (unjustly, I believe), to exclude us from all connexion with any Power on the Continent of Europe ; and that this idea is less revolting to us than it is, or ought to be considered. It is.not necessary to employ arguments to convince a Minister, so en lightened as you are, that England would never con sent to an exclusion which would degrade her from the rank she has hitherto maintained, and that she expe&s always to support among the nations of the world. " In fall, - the affair is reduced to a single point. Will we negotiate jointly with Russia ? Yes . Do you wish that we should treat separately ? No ! If. we have not succeeded in the desirable object we propose to ourselves, we have at least the satistac .tion of congratulating ourselves on the politeness and frankness which has charaderized the . two Govern ments in the conduct of the affair ; and I ought to ex press my personal acknowledgments to you for the kind expressions your Excellency used respecting me. " I have the honour, &c. (Signed) " C. FOX." (No. 8.) " SIR, " Paris, tune 2, 1806. " I have shewn to the Emperor the • last letter your Excellency did me the honour to write me.— I can only repeat to you, under his Majesty's or ders, that to treat with you on the footing of your alliance with Russia would be to place us in a situa tion of restraint and humiliation to which we have never been exposed—no Power can flatter itself that it can di&ate to France either the conditions of a peace, or a mode of negotiation not sanaioned by established custom. To require either the one or the other would be to derogate from the French character, and no more could be expected if you had already invaded Belgium with an English Army, and were prepared to penetrate into Picardy by the mouths of the Somme. " Ought I to repeat to you, Sir, that his Majesty is sincerely desirous of peace, when on all occa sions in which the negotiation has been interrupt ed, this disposition has been manifested ? Is it ne cessary fur me to say, that the pro!ougation of the war - has never been injurious to the honour and glory of France ; or to affirm that, in time of peace, a great nation can, in no way, more wisely employ its forces than in preserving its relative dignity with rcspat to its neighbours ? France would not deny to you the right you enjoy of chusing and preserV- (so. 9.) " SIR, " Downiq-street, June 14, 1306; " I have received, some days ago, the dispatch of your Excellency, dated the 52c1 of the present month. I do not conceive how, in treating with Russia and us conjointly, you have to recognize the principle of the alliance between her-and us. At most, you only recognize the fat. Still less can I divine how this mode of treating. supposes you in• any state of infe riority. We by no means pretend to impose upon France either the conditions of Peace, nor a mode of negotiating contrary to its usages. In 1782, an epoch which your Excellency cites in your dispatch, we • did not consider ourselves in a state of degradation : no-. - ertheless, when M. De Vergennes told us it was necessary, for the honour of his Court, - that we should treat with her conjointly with Holland and Spain, we adopted, without thinking we degraded ourselves in any manner, the mode to which that Minister appeared to attach so much value. Your Government wishes sincerely for Peace : here it is equally desired, and I may nevertheless say of Eng land, what your Excellency says of France, that dui prolongation of a war has never been prejudicial either to its glory or its greatness : perhaps it has to its real permanent interests, but equally so to those of France. " As to whatever there is of secrecy in our treaty of alliance with Russia, your Etcellency is too en lightened not to acknowledge, that as far as regarded the war and the propositions to be made to Prussia and Austria, the secrecy was necessary. All that is over. To as in concert for the purpose of obtaining repose fin Europe in the first place ; and for preserv ing it afterwards, is the principal, and, I may say, the only ohje& of our. connexion. " After the frank manner in which you disavow the intention that has been wrongfully imputed to you, with respeEt to what regards our Continental con nexions, there can no longer exist the slightest doubt upon this most essential objeEt; and it wourd be more distressing, that difficulties, which regard the form more than the substance, should cause a war to con tinue which the two Governments wish to terminate. Let us come to what your Excellency proposes. The form which took place in the Administration of the Marquis of Rockingham, is the more present to my recollealion, as I then had the same post with which his Majesty has been lately pleased to honour me. Let France and England change positions, and it is precisely what I have proposed. We then treated with France and her'Allies. Let France now treat with us and our Allies. The basis offered in your second proposition, are perfeEtly confo:mable to the views of our Government; it being well understood, that while we mutually acknowledge our respective rights of intervention and guarantee for the affairs of Europe, we agree also mutually to abstain from every
