^ The Executive Directory orders fte
I miaider tor foreign %ff rirs to make the
§ following anfeer to Lord Malmrfbury :
IThe Executive Directory fee with pain
„h^t at the moment when they had rea
ffon to hope for the very foaey rettirn of
Ipeace between tite French Republic *nd
§his Britannic M^jefty, rhe pre, office of ,
, Lord Malrcefbary offers netting but dj
§ Jatory, or very distant incaps of bringing
I the negotiation to a condufion.
j The Directory obterve, that if L^fd
, Malme fbury would.have treated fep&iUK
py, as he was formaly authori&rflW te,
[ no or of his .credentials, tlty^btiatioßS
fmigbt have been con fyfarffy abridged :
;that the necessity of Glancing with the
rintereftsef the two powers, thole of the 1„
s allies ofGre3tbriiain,mui,iplies the corn
§binations, enereafes the difficulties, terds .
fete the formatio&Gt ^copgrefa, the fo,ma •
|cf whichit is known are always tyfy,
!tnd requires the accession of ppres,
fwhich hit herto bate displayed ng desire of
I accommodation, and have not given to
gLd. Malmefoury himtelf, according to
I his own declaration, any power to ftipu-•
Ilate for them.
Thus, without prejudging the inten
|tions of Ld Malnufbory; without draw-
I ing any conclusion tremthe circqmfanc^
lof his declaration not appearing to ic
f cord with his credentials; without fop-
I pefing that he had received any secret in- .
! ftru&ocs which would deftrey the efi^
of bis ostensible powers ; without pre
tending, in short, to assert, that the Bri^
ifh government have had a double obje&
in view—to prevent, by general propefc
tions, the partial prOpcfitions of other
powers, and to obtain from the people of
England the means of continuing the
war, by throwing upon the Republic the
Odium of a delay occasioned by them- "
selves; the Executive Directory caanot
but perceive that the profrofition of Lord
Halina fbury is nothing more than a re
newal, under more amicable forms, of
.the propefirions made hft year by Mr.
Wickham, and that it prefehts but a dis
tant hope of peace. -
IThe1 The Executive Dire&ory farther ob
iferve, with regard to the principleof ces
sion advanced by Lord Mrim.fbur^, that „
such principle, preferred in a vague and,
jifolated manner, cannot serve as a Safes of
negotiation,; that thts ft points of con-'
iteration are, the common necllTKy of
ajuft and felid peace, the political equi
k librium which absolute cessions might 1
deftruy, and then the means which the
Belligerent powers may possess—the one
to retain conquests made at a time when
,it was supported by a great number of al
§ligs, now detached from the coalition ;
landI and the other, to recover them at a time
!when these who were at fieft its enemies,
Ihave almeft all, either become its allies,
!erneutre : ''
! Nevertheless, the Executive Direeory,
l animated with eri ardent desire of paring
I astep to the scourge of war, and to prove -
[that they will not rgeft any means of
Ireconciliation declare, that as fden as
Lord Malmtfoury fhdl .exhibit to the
miniftcr for foreign affairs fufficieot pow
'ets freth the allies of Greatpri tain, for
Iftipulaticg for their refpeaive interests,
laccompanied by a promote on their part
jto fubferi be to whatever shall be conclud
ad in their names, the Executive Ditf&?-
