both;, note which, m expressions and exa&i
th ie, id above ail in the precilion of its mo
tives breathed nothing but justice, peace and
por ration, Bis Excellency, Lord Whitworth,
jested, by a peremptory demand of pass
p 4 ;; dating at he fame time, that he i,nren
ge leaving P.r • n Wednesday, the 4th of
Mty, at five o'clock in the morning.
The F inch G wen ment deeply feels the con
hill which a deie;minadon, so abfolu^e, pre
for s to the character of decorum, of justice
fend of Conciliation, which in all ci:cum(lanc
ts, and principally in the Lift, it has made a
point <f g ;/ Gg 10 all its meafares.—Neverthe
&fs, it deemed ft incumbent upon itfelf to
In k p a facrifice to the hiteteftsef Humanity.
It ^s nth willing to abandon till the last mo
foenhall h^pcs of Perce,and the undersigned
Cranftnited to his. Excellency, Lord Whitworth
It new Note, in which Fiat.ee made the offer to
give its affenuthat Malta should be placed under
guardianship of one of the three guaranteeing
pow&s, viz.— ufiria, Ruffin, and Prussia.
This proposition appeared to Lord Whit
worth himfelf 'fuch as ought to fatisfy the
preLnflon of his Courts he suspended his de
parture, and received the Note ad referendum.
At the fame time the Ambassador or the
Republic, at London, being apprized of the de
mand. which,his Excellency 1 ord Whitworth,
bad made at Paris for his paflpoj t's to returp to
England, received orders to hold himfelf in 1
teadinefs to depart. He accordingly demand
ed his piffpdrrs which were instantly granted.;
The nezzeo termino, pfbpofed by the French<
Government, was a deviation from the letterl
of the treaty of \mrenst but ft had the dote-<
ble advantage to assimilate, to the greatest de-;
gee possible, ^ith isfirit, that is to fay, to ;
pace Malta in the Independence of the two ria
lions, an 1 to offer this guarantee so much infi
lled uport, and which the British Miuilter:
pretended constituted the sole objeft of its a
larms ~# ;
The Brrifh Government comprehended the
fcce of these renfons, and the Unhappy fatal-<
ity which induced it to war, offered to it no
other reply, than a falfe allegation. The
Zill of this'month Lord Whitworth trans-
Xnitted a note, in which he declared; that Ruf.
fia had refufed to accede to what was requir-;
ec of hen
The guaranteeing powers being three in num 6
her, if Russia had given a reluQ/dill there re
m.dried the mpeior of Germany and the
Khir of PYuffiab But hofy was It pollible for
Rufl^ to make known its sentiments on the
fuo,& cf new proportions, and which had
been made only a few days ? It was in the
knowledge of England that Russia and Prussia
bad piopofed to. guarantee the independence
offM^ha, with feme (light modifications, and"
that the Fiencligowoment had willingly ac
cepted of the said guarantee, and that judging
©£ tnegerjnsjtlie confutency,& the fidelity to bis
engagemen,(which characterize the Emperor
Alexander*, there was riot the smallest doubt
tha&he would accept of the proposition whi^
bad been made to .him ; but previdfo., which
takes a pleasure , ^fo^ Q so,
cauled at the fame hour, bay, even at the fame
Irritant in which Lord Whitworth trinfmitted
bis note, 2 Ruffian courier to arrive, addressed
to the plenipoxer times of that power, as well
^ Paris as at London, bv virtue of which his
Mdfefty the Emperor of Ruffin manifested with
4 thrift marked and peculiar energy, the pam
he experienced on learning the refolutionpf his
p^pnic Majesty to retain the island of Mal
ta; he renewed the assurance of his guarah
t,lrii! to# it known,that he would accept the
demin'd of his mediation, which had been
made by the Frft Confal, if the two powers
, had recourse to it The undersigned hastened,
'On the 2zd,to apprize Lord Whitworth, by a
note, of the error into which his court had
been led,not doubting,that as this was the only
objection which it had made to the projed
presented, the momentthat it was acquainted
with the reiterated arid poficive declaration of
kuffia> it would rife all possible diligence to
adhere to the delivering up of Maka into the
hands of one of the three powerful guaran-'
hit the in Dependence of the order and die
,fk of Malta was the result of an efpeciul ar
'ticteof the Treaty of Amiens: that the First
Cotful Is hot Competent to take, in this refied,
any r.ew determination,', i hout the concurrence
of the tub other contracting powers' to the
Treaty, His Majesty, the King of Spain, and
the Batavian Republic.
That the Independence of the Island of Mal 6
Ithad been guaranteed by His Majetty the
Emperor of Germany, and that the ratifica
tions of his guarantee were exchanged ; that
,heir ^jetties tue Empe or of Russia and the
king of Pin®,had guaranteed the indepen
dence <fthe Order & Ilie <f Maha, that tbele
And what is this Wtimatttm that is pretense
to the French government,and equires to be
signed in the enurfe of a day.
It is required that the French government
should consent to give an island which does
not belong to it ; that it should itfelf commit,
even to its own injury, a violation of a foleinn
treaty, under the pretext that England (lands
in need ofa new guarantee againtther ; that it
should be wanting in all the regard due to the
other contrading powers, by destroying, with
out their consent, the article which, with ref
ped to themselves, was difeuffed longer than
any other at the period of the conferences ;
that it (hould be equally wanting in the regard
due to the guaranteeing powers, in consent
ing that an island, which they wiffied to be in
dependent, should remain for ten years under
the authority of the British crown : that it
should take away from the order of Malta the
sovereignty of the state which had been re
Bored to it, and that this sovereignty be tranf
ferred to the inhabitants ; that by this fpoli
ai<n, it would give offence to all the powers,
which had fa&oned the re eftabhfhment of this
order, which had guaranteed it, and which, in
the arrangements of Germany, had a(Tured to
its indemnities for the loffe! it had experienced.
Such is the basts of the ultimatum, which
pfefents a series of pretensions always increasing
in the fame proportion, as the government of
the Republic displays its moderation. At rhe
firtt, England gave its consent to the preserva
tion of the order of Malta, but wanted to fub
jed his order and its Bates to the British au
thority.
At present, And for the fame time, the a
bolirion of the fame order is demanded, and
that it should be consented to in the space of
thirty-fix hours.
But, were the definitive conditions propo?
ed equally, as conformable to the treaty of
Amiens, and to the interests of France, as they
are contrary to them,the simple form of these
demands, the period of thirty-fix hours pre
scribed for giving an answer, cannot leave any
doubt as to the determination of the French
government. No, never will France recog
nize in any government the right of annul
ling by a single aft of its pleasure, the stipula
tions of a reciprocal engagement. If fbe has
permitted that under appearances which de
nounced direa menaces, a verbal ultimatum, of
seven days should be presented to her, an ul
timatuti: of thirty.fix hours, arid treaties con
cluded, without being negotiated; she Could
have no other motive, than to recal the Brilifh
government by the example of her moderation;
but she cannot consent to any thing,which com
promise the intercils of her dignity, and her
powert ~„
, Ihe undersigned is therefore charged to de
Clare to his Excellency Lord Whitworth, that
any communication, the sense and the forms of
which do not accord with the usages observed
among the great powers, and with the princi
ple of the most perfect equality between one
state and the other, can no more be admitted
in France. .
1 hat nothing could oblige the French govern
ment to dispose of countries which do not
in the Teaft appertain to her, end that it nev
er will recognize the right of England to vio
late in any point whatever the treaties into
which that power hat entered with France.
e Finally, the 'Underfigned repeats the propofi
bf placing }ffalta under the guarantee of
one of the three powers, and as to every other
object, foreign tb the treaty to 'miens, he
renews the declaration, that the French gov
ernment is ready to open a negociation on these
points.
If the English government gives the signal
of war-, nothing will remain to the Republic
an government, but tb confide i n the justice
of her cause, and in the God of armies.

worth, without entering into any explanation
or fee king to contradict or difeufs the declar

did go into the River,commonly called James

not otherwise." Such wal the verdict of the

that Callender's drowning was not " acci
