We have juft received a note figned by tbeir

But our duty is to rcmaik to your excellency
that fince halt pad fix in the evening of the day

as well as to the one for our own paiTport* al
though this requed has been facccfBvely repeat
ed thice times.
It is of the highed importance in the pofiti
oii in which we are, to inlure a tree and unin
terrupted communication, and as frequently
as we may think it nccelTary with our govern
ment.
YVe therefore intreat your cscelltncy to fa
tisfy us on this head, in order that we may
know whether if in all puflible cafes, in- which
we may think proper to afle for pal'spotts, ei
ther for ouifclves, or foremuiers, we (hall be
lure of obtaining them without delay.
It is equally necclfary for us to obfeive that
we have had no anfwer to the folicitatiuns

nijler for foreign AJfairs,dated 11 th Augujly
1806.
Tlic m derfigned miniftrr for foreign affairs
has the honour to tranfmit their excellencies
lords Lauderdale and Yarmouth, minifters ple
nipotentiaries of his majefiy the king of Eng
land, the courier’* paffport they have afkcd for.
lie regret* that the circumftances of no bufi
urfi. being t rawfaded at his office on Sunday*
did not allow him to fend it fooner. With re
gard to throne which t heir excellencies reques
t'd for thcmfelvcB, the undofigned flatters him
fclf that they will give to the delay of making
it out an interpretation the mod natural anti
hell calculated to prevent on their lide all kind
nf complaint. The underfigned will never
Jread being rrfponfible for the delays, the oh
it*t‘l of which was to prolong for fome days the
hope of pacifying two treat flates, and Duttiiue

The underfigned plenipotentiaries of his Bri
tannic majefty would not have deferred their an
fwer to the note of the 11th Augufl, tianfmit
ted to them by their excellencies the plenipo
tentiaries of the French government ; but the
repeated folicitations they had made to his ex
cellency the minifter of the interior, for paff
ports even for their courier, remaining unan
swered, they thought it previoufly their duty to
afeertain whether they were to continue the
free and uninterrupted communication with
their government, as it has always fubfifted in
fuch like cafes, amongft. all the governments of
Europe.
The explanation which the underfigned have
received from his excellency the minifter for fo
reign affairs, induces them to hope that what
ever circumft.tnces may aiife, fuch a delay will
never again take place. After having maturely
weighed the note of their excellencies, the un
derfigned obferve that the Biitilh government
far from pretending to require of the French
government, “ all the reftitutions which may be
“ convenient for them, without ttuir being
“ bound to aliy reftitution towards France,”
Have manifefted no other de-fire than that of
treating with the French government on the
bafis propofid by France herfclf, as is exprefl
ed in Lord Lauderdale’s note, viz. “ to treat
“ that generally upon the bafis of the uti pofji
“ delis, which ought fcrupuloufly to be oblerv
“ ed, excepting iu the cafe of Ilanover, which
“ was propofid to be ceded wholly to his ma
“ idly.”
liven were it pollible to miltnkc the relult*
to be necefiarilv drawn from this principle, the
difenfiion which took place by word of mouth
on the 9th inltant, between the French pleni
potentiaries and the underfigned, left no doubt
that the propofal thus brought forward waa
perfectly nnderltood by thefc plenipotentiaries
The underfigned, have in confequence only to
repeat lh*t, conformably to the inltriiflions
of that government, they can do no otherwife
than infill upon this principle being previous
ly acknowledged. It is only on this conditi
on that they arc allowed to continue the nrgo
ciatiun.
As foon as this principle fhall be agreed on,
the underfigned will be ready to briwg on the
difeufiionof the other points mentioned in lord
Lauderdale’s note.
It remain* only for the underfigned to add,
that if the French government mamfell a difpo
fttion to adhere to the propofal, fnc h as his Hri
fannic majelty fuppofe-s to have been made by
the French government, they will congratulate
themfelvcs on it as a molt fortunate event, an
event which promifes (according to the fenti
ntent of Mr. Pox, quoted by their excellen
cies)" an honourable peace for both nations, and
" at the lame time of a nature to infurc the fu
" ture repofe of F.urope.”
