It• is distin&ly .stated in the Mmitezir; that the .Negotiations were finished, and that no difficulty had occurred up to the moment ,when some men sought to create an obstacle, in wantonness, in the hope of breaking off the Negotiation." The l'vl e• - niteur has not told Lys what that obstacle was; but no man who has observed what bas been passing in Europe for the last few montlis can be at a loss to'fincl it cut. Instead of 'negotiating in a spirit of peace and mo deration, as lie professeda disposition to do, 80NA... PAB.TE has, from the moment that the Negotiations with this Country commenced, gone on in his career of aggresSion and aMbitiOn, without the interval of a moment. It was obvious that these new encroach ments must produce alterations .in the terms upon which the British Ministry were willing to conclude a Peace; and these alterations,' which . were pro duced by his own unbounded ambition, he liaS, thought proper to attribute to the British Ministry. as proceeding from a desire wantonly to create ob stacles, in the hope of breaking off the Negotiatiom From the stylein which these Articles are written, we really did expea to hear that Lord LAUDERDALE had demanded his Passports, and was on his return , home ; bu,t this morning, between two and • three, O'ClOck,AnotherMessengerarriVed from his Lerdship, and a Cabinet' Council was summoned to meet this ,day at one o'clock to take the Dispatches into Con— sideration.
