RESPECTING THE LATE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN FRANCE AND •ENGLAND. (Continued from our Paper of Yesterday.) (No. 30.) _ _ _ ' The undersigned Minister of Foreign Affairs has laid before the eyes of the Emperor and King of Italy the successive Notes of his' Excellency the Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty, bearing date the 9th of Aug List, the foth, the t ith in the morning, the 11th at night, the 14th, the 22d, and the 25th of the same month ; he has re ceived an order to address to his Excellency the Earl of,Laucterdale, relative to those different Notes, the following Declaration : " Befgre the nomination of Lord.Lauclerdale, the negotiition between France and England presented all the eharaCters of a calm and moderate discus sion ; but en his arrival, it appeared to take all of a sudden an unexpeCted direction, and his . Majesty the Emperor could not but be extremely surprised at learning, almost at the same time, both the in tervention of a second Plenipotentiary of His Ma jesty the King of England, and the formal demand of passports for his . return. Only one conference had taken place; the second had not been then fixed : those visits which reciprocal attentions pre scribe, hut not been made by. the new Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty; and ne vertheless demands for passports were hourly re newed. In vain the Plenipotentiaries of His Ma jesty the Emperor endeavoured to come to some un, derstanding‘; in vain they gave, and in vain they asked-for explanations:• They only experienced the most persevering refusal to listen to any thing which could tend to conciliation " The Ministers of His. Majesty the Emperor were obliged to render an account to him of the obstacles that they met with, and of the mortifica tions they had to experience ; and His Majesty judging of the views of the Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty by the unsuitableness of the im perious, and, one may say, savage forms which he has not been afraid to assume, must clearly per ceive, that the real intention of Lord Lauderdale Was to come and break precipitately 'a Negotiation, which, in its beginning, announced a speedy and successful issue. "Nevertheless, His Majesty wishing to try, if by carrying moderation to the extreme degree of inac cessibility to passion, the English Plenipotentiary would not be determined to chuse more conciliating forms, made to the love of Peace the painful sa crifice of enduring that the Minister of a hostile Go went should come, and in the very heart of his capital, aftbEt a tone of menace and / superiority ; but, at length, the expressions contained in the sixth Note have obliged him to perceive the impossibility of concluding a Peace with a Plenipotentiary, all whose demands were affronts, and all whose steps were hostile acts ; and the Undersigned has conse quently received the order to send to his Excellency Lord Lauderdale those passports which he has so . constantly demanded. " But, at the same time, his Majesty the Emperor and_ King has enjoined the Undersigned .to declare formally, that he desires, as much as it depends on him, that the Negotiation should not be interrupted ; and, that it shall be continued at any appointed piaci, in the true spirit of conciliation, with a frank and mutual disposition to come to an under,tand )ng, and, according to the usages, and in the forms settled among all nations. " Never will his Majesty permit his Ministers to pay any deference that shall be inconsistent with his dignity, and •.vhich may be incompatible with, the principles of the most pet-feet equality among great Powers. It is without an example in history, that between two nations which cannot arrogate any claim of superiority, the Plenipotentiary of the one should dare to dictate to the other the conditions and the forms of a deliberation, and draw round him the 'circle of Popilius : and that is what the Minister of his Majesty the King of England has not feared to do ; as if Peace were not as necessary for England as for France ; as if the chances of War were all against the French nation, and that she alone was to bear all the evils of it. The Undersigned has the regret of having to declare to his Excellency Lord Lauderdale, that it iu reality his mission has been, for the purpose of break ing the Negotiation, already so far advanced—if he has wished to substitute, for that mild and conciliat • ing.language which disposed the two Governments to accommodation, the imperious tone of reproach and menace,—if it was to prolong those calamities which it was his office to put a stop to, then Lord Lauderdale has the sad glory of having attained his object : an advantage, after all, very easy to be ac complished, for a peace between France and Eng land can only be the result of a Negotiation entered into by men . who feel what each of, those nations owe to its rival ; who perceive and facilitate, as much as is in their power, the ,combinations and the calculations which are most fit to reconcile the& dif ferent interests, and . who attach their 'personal hap piness and honohr to putting an end to a contest, Ihe existence of Which is a scourge not only to the two nations, but to all the nations of the world.-- . - To throw an obstacle to such a. blessing, it is only ne cessary to remain insensible of the glory of co-ope rating to produce it., " The Uudersigned must here repeat what he wrote on ithe 2d of June to Mr. Fox, ' That no one must ever flatter themselves With being able . to impose upon France either conditions of Peace, or a mode of Negotiation contrary to established usages.' " The French Government continues at this mo ment, as it- did at that time, to adhere to'the two basis of Negotiation ,Which have been agreed to on both sides, namely : " Ist, To the principle taken from the letter of Mr. Fox of the 26th of March, that the two States should have for their objea, That the Peace should be honourable for them and their respedive Allies, at the same time that this Peace should be of a na ture to secure, as far as possible, the future repose of Europe.' 2dly, To the , principle which establishes acknowledgMeht flavour of each of the Powers, of the. right of interference and guarantee both for con tinental and maritime affairs, !! The Undersigned has the honour to renew, Se. (Signed) C. M. TALLEYRAND Pritice Lt• (To be Conauded en Monday). This Day was published, price is.

FOREIGN INTE'4,LIGEI4'CE, BERLIN, Nov. 8.--We are assured that the Rus sians have at length arrived upon the Prussian terri tory. On the 12th one 9f their Regiments of Hussars passed the Vistula, and entered Warsaw, On the 13th 4000 Russian Infantry arrived at Praga, opposite 'Warsaw. This coluMn is commanded by , Gen. BENtUNGSEN. On the sthl he pushed hiS recon noitring parties upon the roads to Posen and Thorn. It is pretended that, according to arrangements be tween the Russians and Prussians, Gen. BENNING SEN'S division, was to have•been at Sempoln on the 15th of November, on their way to Silesia. This: place is about half way between Warsaw and Posen. Three more columns, expe&ed in the Prussian ter, ritory, are commanded by Prince GALITZIN, Counts TOLSTOY and SEMBORASKY. ,The third corps of the . Grand Army, under Mar shal DAVOUST, began their march on the 16th; froni Posen and its environs, for Warsaw. On the 17th they took possession of Sempoln. Their advanced posts are beyond Kutno, and have joined the corps of Marshal LANNES, on the side of Thorn. ' FRANKFORT, Nov. 28.-All the letters from Aus stria speak of negotiations havin g commenced be tween France and the Court of Vienna, respe&ing the Austrian Army in Bohemia. It seems these.ne- - goqations have not yetterminated, and that aniAus trian Minister is going to the French head-quarters at Berlin. The Cabinet of Vienna is extremely busy, and it . seems not yet to have taken a decided . resolution respeding the Armies in Bohemia and Galicia. It is a striking singularity, that of all the Prussian fortresses, the stnallestand the least important, that of Plassemburgh, has held out the longest. The blockade of ,this place, it is thought, will now be converted into a regular-siege. AUGSBURGH, Nov. 25.—:The recruiting service is carried on throughout Bavaria with uncommon a&i vity. lever• were hostile preparations so formidable in this kingdom. Several new regiments are organ ized and completed. We learn from Vienna, that under the present circumstances, the idea of establishing new fortresses is abandoned by the Emperor of Austria. The same letters assure us, that GeII.BELLEGARDE has, at length, received very particular instruCtions, being ordered to return to Trieste without delay.— It is thought that the affair of Cataro is definitively settled between France and Austria. DRESDEN, Nov. 29.—0 n, the 15th inst. Prince JEROME arrived at Breslau, which. his advanced posts had entered the preceding evening, in the best order, the Magistrates having taken Measures for that pur pose. On the other hand, the left wing of the army, a part of which was marching for Dantzic, had ad vanced beyond Thorn, almost as far as Rypin, while the centre had arrived at Lowicz. The troops that . entered Silesia are now partly in Poland, as their ad vanced posts are at, Petrikau, It is supposed the French will arrive before Warsaw about the 18th or 19th. The'Poles received them with enthusiasm, and - with the cries of " Five Napoleon !" All the Prussian troops that remained . in Poland left that country on the 7th for Eastern Prussia. HAMBURGH, Nov. 24. (By way of Piave),-- A rumour has been' circulated at Altona, that the' English have forbidden the Ships of all nations and colours to pass the Sound ; and it is said that the proposal made, in the British Cabinet, to treat the whole of the Continent as an enemy, was carried in preference to more lenient measures, which were proposed by some of the Members, for putting a period to the present terrible straggle. We have reason to believe that Denmark will join France in, support of those important measures which the Emperor NAPOLEON will adopt to com pel England to sign a General Peace in favour of the Maritime interests of other Nations. NAPLES, Nov. 17.—His Majesty the King has' appointed the Duke of MONTELEONE, Gen. Prince PIGNATELLI,• the Duke of CARIGNAN, and the Mar quis CASANOVA SERnA., to go as a Deputation to the French Emperor, and congratulate him upon his late victories. The Bulletins 'of the Grand Army are read here with much satisfaCtion. HAGUE, DEC. - 8.. On the 15th their High Mightinesses received a . Message flom his Majesty, conceived in the following terms GENTLEMEN—You are going to commence your annual Session. Before we speak to you of the objets which will be presented for your de liberation, we ought to inform you of the situation of the kingdom since the month of June. Convinced that repose is the first necessity of our people, our duty towards them, and the senti ments of justice which ought and always shall pre scribe the rules of our condud, have excited an ar dent desire in us to preserve that peace, of which we are so much in need. " We have never ceased to testify these sentiments upon all occasions since we first came to the Crown, particularly in giving immediate satisfaaion to the Charge d'.4faires belonging to two Great Powers, of whtim some Journalists bad spoken without regard or even respe&. " A short time after, considerable armaments took place not far from our frontiers. Observing the tran quil and pacific attitude of our powerful Ally, to those we paid but little attention; but, as soon as, in con forkility to our. Treaties of Alliance, demands were made to put our troops under arms, we obeyed them with all possible adivity : we did not lose an instant in preparing the means of defence, and in replying to the menaces of a neighbour to whom Holland had not given any cause for complaint. " It was then, Gentlemen, that we called an ex traordinary sitting. You will recollect that even at this period we did not think that war was certain. We hoped it would not break out. Nowever,we were scarcely upon the frontiers When it was declared. On the Bth of Otiober our Charge d'4llaires at Berlin received his passports and orders to leave that city. To this Declaration we replied, by ordering pass ports to be given to *his Prussian Majesty's Charge d' 41/hires at the Hague. This war, you know, has been so prompt that the declaration, the hostilities, and even the termination of it, have been the work of a few minutes. " We told you, on th.! 29th of Septemtmr, that war, when just, inspii ed a cmgclence of Which we were truly sensible. This contideocq. has not been dectived : the unprecedented successes of our au gust Brother, and their rapidity, have been the cause of our having little cprnOlint to wake Qt . 1 09(. 1 they have cost, theresults we may hrTe for just a Ivan tages far out ,stibje6t4, and iudetunificatious for so many losses and-accumulated evils. " In informing you of the motives for the declara tion of war against Prussia,we at the same timesrans mitted to you an account of the cessation of hostili ties, which took place in consequence of an armistice signed at Chsrlottenburgh, on the 16th of November. We fall be happy when -we can announce to you the day of the general Peace, the repose of the whole world, and the return to equitable sentiments those who prolong, by their ambition and their ca price, the evils of every description which have sq long oppressed Europe. " Our troops have joined the Grand Army, and followed their destiny. Their position, and the ra pidity of the successes in the pr esen t wa r, haVe not permitted them to take a very considerable part in the military operations.; but in the few opportunities they have had of moeting the enemy, they have prov ed themselves worthy of supporting the honour and glory of the country. 'The only 'two strong' places that remained to Prussia, in Germany, have surren dered to them. 'The combined army has occupied the whole of Westphalia, and all the country on this side the Weser. East Friesland is at p resen t occup i e d b y our troops and in our name. We have continued to the inhabitants the enjoyment of all their former pri vileg& ; and we hope that their commercial connec tions, their manners, and 'their interest with Holland, will indemnify that province, and particularly the port of Embden, for the considerable losses:they have sustained by the war, and by'reaent events. " Gentlemen, these recent events are glorious they tight to inspire us with a just confidence—they will lead us to an honourable - and pen - nanent peace-- let us hope that the prayers of wise and dispassion ate men will be finally heard. Treaties will no more produce mere truces; of which the enemies of the Continent avail themselves only ,to accomplish the total ruin of their vifims ; and we shall at length arrive to such an order of things as will preserve the political equilibrium of Europe ; when all nations will think less of maintaining formidable armies, and More of securing the repose and happiness of viduals-. However, we cannot conceal the faa, that, in dependently of the enormous charges that render thf situation of our subjeels so afflicting, the suppression of every neutral flag, and particularly the general blockade, have annihilated the last resources of com merce. However, it is necessary to suffer a short time, in order to arrive 'at a more happy period. We cannot but persuade ourselves that our situation will soon be 'mended. At least our efforts shall al ways be directed to this objeet, as long as any hope remains. " We have spoken of our political situation. It now remains to treat of that of the various branches of the public administration, and of the ameliorations whereof each part is susceptible. " We will begin with the laws ?, they are still far from possessing the desired uniformity. A plan for the Criminal Code' is digested, and ;119 discussion of •it will commence as soon as the affairs of the Budget, and various important laws which are necessary to complete the general system of contiihntiorts, shall have terminated. Several enlightened men, in various parts of the - Itingdom, are tranquilly occupied in digesting the plan of a Civil Code : but this long and difficult la bour must be a work of time. A Judiciary Code will be undertaken as soon as passible, " After general Laws upon the Department, al Administration, that of the Communes will be laid before you during the pre sen t S ess i on. — * It cannot have escaped you, that the local preju, dices of cities and provinces impede the progress of all the operations of the Administration: In ex amining attentively the real situation of this State, we are justly astonished at its being able to hold out so long against Revolutions, Wars, and the calaml, ties that result from them, " Those Administrations, which never -consider the general interest of the Country, but that only of their provinces or cities, and very often their own, and whq succeed each other incessantly, can never possess. that strength, perseverance, or impartiality, necesary both in the formation and the execution of the Laws. Thus it is that several . parts ,of the Administration continue to suffer frotn this state of things ; and in a Country where the sciences tionrish, we see with surprise that their application to arts and trades have also been negle6ted. Possibly this may have occasioned the fall of such a number of mannfaCtories, &c. But this is not all : it cannot be concealed that the danger in which the inunda, tions and thaws place the Country almost every year might be greatly diminished, if not altogether removed : lit cannot be concealed, that nothing is undertaken for a great physical improvement, which is the more necessary; as the beds of the rivers are continually exhausting; and the great quantities of turf dug up every year will, at length, 'necessarily increase the danger, unless somegreat enter - prizes, worthy the importance of the objet, and of the nation whose existence they will secure, be shortly brought into etre& ; when. it may be thought con venient to carry the Rhine into the Yssel, and of course to enlarge the beds of this river ; to dig canals in Brabant and other parts, and thus to carry off that superfluonster which threatens so great a part of our territory every year ; when it may be necessary to drain the lake of gaerlem ; and, , first of all, those the neighbourhood of Rotterdam. Can any of these operations be impossible to a nation who has already set bounds to the ocean, and inha-. bited its bed, in defiance of it ? . The Administrative Laws are not the only Laws that are necessary to be revised. We hope, bye and bye, that a Treaty of Commerce may he made wits France, to the interest of both nations. " As to the article of the Finances, of which yot4 have heard so often, there, with reason, we may be astonished at the prodigality of the expences, and the little care that has been used in respect to economy and the public charges. We have had reason to re mark, that the Hollander, so economical, so regular in his private concerns, is just the reverse in public affairs. Pensions and employments have been given, and extraordinary expences incurred, without think,. ing of the results ; and, in some circumstances, mai,. versations have been suffered, which ought to have been prevented or punished. These iticouveuiencies we still impure to a party spirit: " The Colonies which we still retain are in a Mott- fishing state. According to the last reports front Java, the measures taken by the GovePa. l C4t 9f 84,-
