‘Lord Malmefbury prefefited his
projet the day after the Credentials
of the refpetive Plenipotentiaries had
been exchanged. This projet was
immediately transmitted to Paris, to
the Executive Direftory,—and to
« which when the Meflenger came a
way, no answer Rad been returred.
Meanwhile, however, the confer
ences of the Plenipotentiaries were.
continued, and it was in consequence
of some occurring circumstances, we
under{tand, in these conferences, that
Mr. BEaft was dispatched.” The French
Negotiators had brought forward se
veral points, and declared themselves
ready to enter into the difcullion of
any others which Lord Malmefbury
had to propose to them. They evi
dently shewed, we understand, the’
ftrongelt disposition to proceed with
the Negotiation, and to bring it to a
favorable conclafion. \
It was pretty clearly understood
velterday, that the basis on which the®
I'rench Negotiators were to a&, was,
the restitution on the part of Great-
Britain of all the "Possessions taken
from the Yrench during the War, and
the Ships brought away by the En
glith 'from Toulon ; but that they
were not to infit.on the restoration
of some of the pofieflions taken from
their Allies. . ' o
- Lord Malmefbury having no Se
cretary attending the Conferenées, as.
the French Plenipotentiaries had,
they very politely offered him, upon
his remarking that circumstance; a
Copy of the Minutes taken by Mons.
Colchen, which Lord Malmefbiiry
accepted.” :
The general with of the People of
France, we learn, was strongly mani
fefted in favor of Peace. All the
circumstances of the Negotiation, as
far as we have been -able to colle&t
them from the best authorities, lead
us to hope for a happy iflue to the
Negotiation ; but until an answer
comes from the Executive Dire&ory,
it is impoflible to state any thing pre
cisely upon this insportant fubje¢t.
Colchen, the Secretary-General to
the French Plenipotentiaries at Lille,
is known to be extremely desirous of
Peace. Pleville, one of the Plenipo
tentiaries, withes for Peace, but only
‘on terms that are unreasonably ad
vantageous to France. Letourneur,
another of them, does not wish for
it-at alle "The firt of these three
diplomatic cliaraers may be con
sidered as the representative of Bar
thelemey ; the second as the repre
sentative of Reubel ;3 and the third,
as the representative of Barras.

At a late hour last night, Mr.
Dreflings, one of his Majesty’s” Mel

from Lord Malmefbury, at Lille.—_

OF. THE PACIFIC
INEGOCIATION AT LILLE,
LONDON, July 14 ~
Mr. East, the King’s Meflenger,
who arrived yesterday morning,%cft
Lille on Tuepiay night. The fub
je& of his Dispatches was of course
the chief topic in all the political cir
clesof yesterday ; and the following
faéts we can state as the most promi
nent and most to be reliéd on. =
We find, that although the Ex
ecutive Dire@ory have always made
it so great a point in the Negotia
tion, that our Ministers should Lave
full powers to treat, yet upon the
present occasion the delay of coming
to some definitive point appears to
have arisen from the Commi{fioners
appointed on the part of the Frerch
Government not having thought
‘themfelves authorized to treat upon
some points proposed to them, with
out stating those points fpecifically to
their Government. ; :
Jusw 16, -
From LILLE, July 15.
Privare CORRESPONDENCE..
We have been as anxious here, as
any of your friends on your fide of
the water can have been, for the’ re
turn of the meflenger from Paris,
with the apfwer to the projet deliver
ed to the commissioners by Lord -
Malmefbury, and immediately tran{-
mitted to the Diretory. Thisanfwer
is arnived, and is instantly to be sent
to England. Those most intimately
connected with the embafly assure
me, that the principal points, and
which are pretended to be insisted on
are, the c:ffisn on the part of Great Rri
tain of every possession takem from the
French and also from their allics—ithe
reflitution of the ships taken at Touloi—
an indemnity for the loss fufiained by de-
Sroving [bipsy §sc.” avhen the Lnglifh
and¥Spaniards evacuated that port—
the recognition of Belgium as a part of
the French Republic——and the relin
quifbment of arny Mortgage the British,
Government may have upon that terri
tory for the payment of any loan . avkich
the Emperor of Germany may have made
in G. Britain. : h
~ These are the principal outlines of
the demands of the Dire@ory, as sta
ted in their contre-projet—demands {o
extravagant that nobody here thinks
the Dire&tory themselves imagine
they will be acceded to.. . Befides
thefe, there are a variety ‘of topics
fuggeiled as obje@s for diftin& cont
fideration, 'which shews so evidently
that the Directory themselves: with
to continue the. discussion, that, in
ipite of the unrcafonable demands
which have been made, the-most in
telligent persons here still. think -the
negociation will end in Peace. . .
The two'councils, rather than break
off the negociation, are evidently in
clined to treat npon. terms much
more favorable to Great, Britain than
‘thofe now proposed by the- Dire&o
ry, ; and with this disposition of the
councils; as well as the general wish of
the people of France, it is pretty well
understood that the Dire&ory'do not
mean to hold out long for such
terms : indeed if they did, the com
missioners here would have fheéwn
themselves very indifferent negocia
tors, for they have permitted them
selves, in some of the conferences
which have taken place during the
time Lord Malmefbury’s projet was
under consideration at Paris, to ‘rea
fon upon, and discuss some of the
proposals made on the part ofé}reat
Britain, which proposals this answer
from the Dire&ory now declares to be
inadmissible. : e
The general opinion here is, that
although both parties may have set
out with asking more than they ulti
mately mean to requirey and that
although the Dire&ory are not them
selves inclined to peace, yet that they
dare not break off a negociation so
openly and honourably entered upon
on the part of Great Britain, arid of
fering such fair and advantageous -
terms to themfelyes. \
-~ Lord Malmefbury has been fur:
nithed with the copies of all minutes
macz by the Sectetary-of the Com
mission, Colchen, during their con
ferences—ln their opinion they seem .
to have differed much 4 but -though -
the different partiesshitherto do not
approach in. their proposals, yeét the
disposition still thewn both by the
Dire&ory and the Commissioners, fo
difcufs every .point proposed, leads
every body to think they will agree
at last. (LR
+ Marat, the friend of the late un
fortunate Minister Le Brun, is sup
posed to be the efficient person among.
the plenipotentiaries, ‘although Le
Tourneur (probably from the station;
he lately filled) is ¢ffenjibly the leader. J
in this business. ST e
I {hall write from time to time 1
whenever I have an opportunity, '
and when any thing occufs here
worth your notice ; and as I live
very much with several persons inti
mate with the commiflioners, I shall
taken at Toulow, andthe restitution
of all*we have captured eithét from
Franee, or from her allics, &e¢. &c.——
The Constitution, fay ‘they, ‘has an
pexed the pofiefiions‘taken by us to
the Republic, and we "have giaran
teed to our allies all takén from them.
This is the substance of the proposal,
as stated in the be® informed circles
in Lille, but it is laughed at as being
{0 preposterous that the Englith Cab
met cannot listen to it, and there does
not seem the least doubt, from the
opinions of the French themselves,
that their Government will be dis
posed to relax upon several of these
points., Indeed in spite of the firlt
demand made by the Dire@ory, the
opinion of the best informed persons
both at Liile and Paris is, that the
present negociation will end in Rgace.
