While the preparations appear thus
to indicate an immediate war ; the
language of the rulers of both nations
is apparently pacific. Bonaparte im
precates Divine vengeance on the heads
cf thofewho shall be the cause of a rup
ture ; and the Britift Ministry declare,
that their object in the armament, is to
hasten the conclusion of fubjels in dis
cussion ; —and that thdr preparations
were counter to those making in r:
ports of France and Holland ; —and
which, if found only defined to garri
son their colonies, would occasion an
immediateceffaiion of hoßile measures.
.The friends of the EnghhlMirriUei ^rge,
that "where every thing is at flake we
mpft be prepared for every thing." —
They declare, that >
" Peace is his dear itdigut —^t Fleury's mare —
" Put tout h bim,and no Minder so fore ;"
Plow, hard the touch has been, we are
still ignorant ; —the only ostensible
Broke being the expedition fitting out
in Holland and France.
It is certain negociations of great
importance have long been in difeuffion
between Great-Britain and France.—
These are mentioned to relate to the
evacuation of Egypt and Maha ; and
the “ occhfon" or our citizens from the
pdit of New-Orleans. We have not
heard any other cause aligned for the
delay in the evacuation of Egypt, than
the difficulties which naturally arise in
its prosecution.— By treaty it was to be
surrendered to the Ottoman Porte.—
Malta, as we before Rated, was, by the
treaty of Amiens, to be surrendered to
the Knights of Jerusalem, when the
Grand Mailer of that order Should be
ready to receive and able to defend it.
No Grand Master, as we have heard,
-has yet demanded possession ; Os course,
that being a previous condition, Great-
Britain claims a right to retain posses
sion until it is accomplished. In the last
fubjeft we are interested.—" With re
fpe& to.the American depot, at New-
Orleans," fays an English politician,
" the question is briefly this :—The
Spaniards, whilst in possession of Lou
isiana, allowed the Americans, by trea
ty, the use of the town of New-Orleans,
as a commercial depot, with a provi
sion, however, that they might resume
-this grant upon aligning any equiva
lent Station. Previous to delivering the
province of Louisiana to the French, to
whom it was ceded in the late Peace,
the Spanish Governor has resumed the
grant of the depot, and shut against the
Americans, without aligning them any
Other equivalent Ration. It is Itippof
ed th it our government has undertak
en to mediate between the three powers
of France, Spain and America, and
that this forms one of the fubjeds of
difcutTion alluded to in the message,"
All these may be the children of wild
conjecture ; and they may be founded
on authentic information. If the latter,
the hostile parade making may have
some tendency to expedite the termi?
ration ; and force France to relinquish
force of the projects of her unbounded
ambition.—One thing, at lead, appears
evident, that Great-Britain thinks, with
L^r Laureat :—
“ PeL only feeds perennial joys on those
, Who guard with danntlefs arms the blcffinge
Peace befows.'
We Shall conclude this days review
cf the intelligence, by observing, that
the Stocks (the mercury in the political
thermometers) were rising at the last
dates. —On the 7th March the 3 per
cent. Cons, were at 71, on the 10th
they fell to 62,and on the igthrofe to 65.
:At the close of the late Medion in New-
York, it appeared, that the Democratic votes
tad decreased this year 787. The Federal
Candidate for Senator to Coogrefs had a ma
jority of 71 votes.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
When the latt intelligence left Eng
land, the preparations for War contin
ued with unabated activity.—Squad
rons were equipping—-encampments
forming—and every note of earnednefs
teas exhibited. The impressment of fea
nien, it is true, was not so warmly pros
ecuted at the lad dates, as it had been
a few days before ; but its relaxation
was the tonfequence of the number of
Teamen voted by Parliament, having
been procured.—Add to these a warm
reprimand is Did to have been given the
British Ambassador at Paris, by the
First Consul, at Madame Bonaparte's
Drawing Room on the 13th March—
which, if true, was not calculated to
/JilLpate the angry clouds which the
latter observed were riling. For the
truth of this extraordinary event we
have searched all our Paris and Lon
don journals.—The former are as Silent
on it, as on al! other political topics—
and while some of the latter are pledg
ing their reputation for the truth of
the'narrative, Bell's “ Meflenger" of
the 20th March, pronounces it to be a
fabrication. All that both agree in,
is, that a Levee was held on the day
mentioned.
