the conclusion of a convention founded on this
balls.
His Majesty (ball not be required by the
French Government to evacuate the island of
Malta until after the expiration of ten years.
When this Ultimatum was proposed to Tal
leyrand, he suggested a variation which might
be the perpetual pofTeffion of Malta on some
terms' of exchange, as he observed, to take
away the appearance of being forced into the
resignation of that island, and to make the
draft palatable. Lord Whitworth replied,
that he had no authority to vary from the
terms, and that to prevent any further protract
ion of the negotiation, he must make his Rand
on the Ultimatum as proposed.
They then parted ; nothing further was of
fered, and on his fending for his passports the
next morning, he received them in a few hours.

Mr. 'Nutting,
There is scarce a commercial city in the
civilized world (to which Whipping can have
access) but contain some institutions, where
foreigners or travellers may meet for com
mencing and compleating bargains, making
purchases or interchanging properties ; but
more efpccially for keeping tip an inter
course between the citizens and such for
eigners. Thole institutions are called Hotels
or Coffee-Houfes, and when they preserve
their original intention with a becoming de
corum, they are considered as pleasing re
treats for all gentlemen engaged in com
merce ; and also as amusement to those
whose speculative turn of thought, leads
them to peruse the public papers, which
contain the circulating news of foreign and
domestic occurrences, prices current, obfervf
ations on the manners and morals of the
people, &c. &c. We observe with pleas
ure that Mr. Delande has opened a re
treat of this kind for the gentlemen of this
town, under the appellation of a Coffie-
Houje, and that he has provided accommo
dations to gratify the tafle and improve the
minds of all those who may honor his in-
Ritution with their company. Those gen
tlemen who have had occasion to call on
him were introduced into a large chamber,
where every one indiferiminately m#y feat
themselves ard have access to the moR noted
news papers on the continent, and of the
latest intelligence ; and if any bargains may
be negociating, there are two other rooms
calculated for that purpose ; or for taking
a dish of coffee, a glass of excellent wine, a
tumbler of punch, or a bottle of porter, at
the fhotteft notice ; or should any other re
frefhment be requeued, Mr. Delande prom
ises that he will study to please his patrons
with every delicacy within his reach, on the
firft intimation, of what may be wished for,
as his pride appears to be emulous to enter
tain the promoters of his Firfl attempt with
every mark of refpe&, and the politeß at
tention, as he well knows that his deport
ment muR be such as to merit their friend
fhip by his earnest endeavors to convince
them how much he is attached and devoted
to their benevolence, or the alternative he
knows will be a direliaion of him and his
injlitution. CITIS.
Mr. Nutting,
Please to give the following a place in your paper.
IT being necessary, as some per sons have
not understood the true meaning of the fifth
volunteer toast, given at the late celebration
of the anniversary of American Independence
in this town, to all such I would recom
mend the reading of the 20th Chapter of the
firft book of Kings, and confider the conduct
of the Ben-hadad of Great Britain towards
the United States of America, and how far
that conduct will agree with that of Ben
hadad King of Syria, towards the children
of Israel and their King. Particularly I
with them to notice the 31st and g2d verses
of the aforefaid chapter, which reads thus :
31st, And bis servants said unto him, behold
now we have beard that the Kings of the bonfe
of Israel are merciful Kings ; let us, 1 pray
thee, put Jack cloth on our loins, and ropes upon
our heads, and go out to the King of Israel,
peradventure be will save tby life. 32d, So
they glided feck cloth on their Irins, and put
ropes on tbetr heads, and came to the King 0J
Ijrael, and said, thy fervent Ben-hadad Jatth,
Ifray thee let me live. And he said, is be yet
alive? He is myßrothe,. Now as it is evident
to every candid man, that the Britilhßer.-ha
dad and his servants have been sorely beaten,
and also that the President of theßepublican
American Israel is a merciful man, as all
true Republicans are, or ought to be ; it only
remains tor the servants ot the British Ben
hadad to come forward, own their faults,
and with sincere hearts join in the Republi
can cause ; and not only they, but even their
Ben-hadad (if he difeovers marks of true
penitence,) will be received by every true
Republican as Brethren, and rather than do
one of them the leaf! harm, we will all join
together and pay the talent of silver.—Let
no one take umbrage at the foregoing, as it
was neither written or designed to offend any
one. The chapter alluded to is full of ufeful
inffruaion, and should the juflly celebrated
Old South call his eye on the fame, he would
find an inexhauftiblc field for fpeculatiop#
EXPLANATION,
COMMUNICATIONS,
Nothing will please the Essex Junto-—
One while New-Orleans was so important,
it was declared that we ought to go to war
to obtain it. Now this is accomphfhed,
and a great deal more, without fighting ;
yet these uneasy creatures are Rill displeased.
What will fatisfy them ? Nothing short ot
an alliance with crazy John Bull. How must
the President (mile at the absurd paragraphs
in thetOry papers on his conduct ! They want
war, he wishes peace ; and it lies with the
people to approve or disapprove his policy.
If the vote should be taken, this day', we be
lieve the Junto would be left in a "con
temptible minority." Chren.
