PARIS, October 25.
LORD MALMESBURY'S EMBASSY.
OFFICIAL NOTE.
[From Le Mémorial of the 20th inst.]
The negotiations, scarcely commenced between Lord Malmesbury and the minister for foreign affairs, are already suspended. In the first conference, it was demanded of the English negotiator, if he was furnished with powers & instructions from other Belligerent powers to stipulate in their name? He answered, No.—But he added, that when the Directory shall have explained themselves on the principle laid down in his memorial, he would dispatch couriers to give an account to the different courts of the state of the negotiation, and to receive their orders. It was then asked the ambassador if he could not at least specify the principle of retrocessions which concern the French republic and Great Britain? He answered, that after the Directory should have explained itself, he would expedite couriers, and likewise request instructions on this point.
The following is the memorial of the ambassador:
MEMORIAL Delivered to the minister of the F. Republic for foreign affairs, by Lord Malmesbury.
His Britannic majesty desiring, as he has already declared, to contribute, as far as depends on himself, to the re-establishment of public tranquility, and to ensure by the means of just, honorable, & solid conditions of peace, the future repose of Europe; his majesty is of opinion, that the best means of attaining, with all possible expedition, that salutary end, will be to agree at the beginning of the negotiation, on the general principle which shall serve as a basis for the definitive arrangements.
The first object of the negotiation for peace, generally relate to the restitutions and cessions which the respective parties have mutually to demand, in consequence of the events of the war.
Great Britain, after the uninterrupted successes of her naval war, finds herself in a situation to have no restitution to demand of France, from which, on the contrary, she had taken establishments and colonies of the highest importance, and of a value almost incalculable.
But, on the other hand, France has made on the continent of Europe, conquests to which her majesty can be the less indifferent, as the most important interests of his people and the most sacred engagements of his crown are essentially implicated therein.
The magnanimity of the king, his inviolable good faith, and his desire to restore repose to so many nations, lead him, in this situation of affairs, to consider the means of procuring terms of peace, just and equitable, for all the Belligerent powers, and calculated to ensure, in future, the general tranquility.
It is on this footing then, that he proposes to negotiate, by offering to compensate France, by proportionable restitutions, for those arrangements to which she will be called upon to consent, in order to satisfy the just demands of the king's allies, and to preserve the political balance of Europe.
Having made this first overture, his majesty will, in the sequel, explain himself in a more extensive manner, on the application of this principle to the different objects which may be discussed between the respective parties.
It is this application which will constitute the subject of those discussions into which his majesty has authorised his minister to enter, as soon as the principle be adopted as the general basis of the negotiation is known.
But his majesty cannot dispense with declaring, that if this generous and equitable offer shall not be accepted, or if, unfortunately, the discussions which may ensue, may fail in the desired effect, neither this general proposition, nor those more detailed, which may result from it, shall be regarded, in any case, as points agreed upon or accorded by his majesty.
(Signed) MALMESBURY, Minister Plenipotentiary from his Britannic majesty.
Paris, October 24, 1796.
REPORT TO THE DIRECTORY,
By the minister for foreign affairs, The 4th Brumaire (Oct. 25)
The Executive Directory having furnished me with full powers to treat
for peace with Great Britain, I had yesterday (3d Brumaire) my first conference with Lord Malmesbury, plenipotentiary commissioner of his Britannic majesty. He presented to me the original of his powers, sealed with the seal of Great Britain, and certified the copy which he had before presented to me unsigned, and which I had laid before the Directory.
We entered into discussion:—Lord Malmesbury presented to me the memorial which I laid before the Directory. I observed to him, that, speaking in the name of the allies of Great Britain, and stipulating for their interests, he was, doubtless, furnished with their powers and instructions.—He answered me, that he was not, but that when the Directory should have explained itself upon the principle laid down in his memorial, he would expedite couriers, to give to the different courts an account of the negotiations, and to receive their orders. I demanded of him if he could, at least, specify the principle of concession in what concerned the Republic and the government of Great Britain? He replied, that after the Directory should have explained itself, he would send a courier and demand instructions on this point. I then thought it my duty to say to Lord Malmesbury, that I would lay his memorial before the Directory; that I would take its orders, and impart to him its answer.
(Signed) CHA. DELACROIX.
ANSWER OF THE DIRECTORY.
The Executive Directory orders the minister for foreign affairs to make the following answer to Lord Malmesbury:
The Executive Directory see with pain, that at the moment when they had reason to hope for the very speedy return of peace between the French Republic and his Britannic majesty, the proposition of Lord Malmesbury, offers nothing but dilatory, or very distant means of bringing the negotiation to a conclusion.
The Directory observe that if Lord Malmesbury would have treated separately, as he was formally authorised by the tenor of his credentials, the negotiations might have been considerably abridged; that the necessity of balancing with the interests of the two powers, those of the allies of G. Britain, multiplies the combinations, encreases the difficulties, tends to the formation of a congress, the forms of which, it is known, are always tardy, and requires the accession of powers, which hitherto have displayed no desire of accommodation, and have not given to Lord Malmesbury himself, according to his own declaration, any power to stipulate for them.
Thus without prejudging the intentions of Lord Malmesbury; without drawing any conclusion from the circumstance of his declaration not appearing to accord with his credentials; without supposing that he had received any secret instructions which would destroy the effect of his ostensible powers; without pretending, in short, to assert, that the British government have had a double object in view—to prevent, by general propositions, the partial propositions 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 themselves; the Executive Directory cannot but perceive, that the proposition of Lord Malmesbury is nothing more than a renewal, under more amicable forms, of the propositions made last year by Mr. Wickham, and that it presents but a distant hope of peace.
The Executive Directory farther observe, with regard to the principle of cession advanced by Lord Malmesbury, that such principle, presented in a vague and isolated manner, cannot serve as the basis of negotiation, that the first points of consideration are, the common necessity of a just and solid peace, the political equilibrium which absolute cessions might destroy, 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 allies, now detached from the coalition; and the other, to recover them at a time when those who were at first enemies, have almost all, either become its allies, or neutral.
Nevertheless, the Executive Directory, animated with an ardent desire of putting a stop to the scourge of war, and to prove that they will not reject any means of reconciliation, de-
clare, as soon as Lord Malmesbury shall exhibit to the minister for foreign affairs sufficient powers from the allies of Great Britain, for stipulating for their respective interests, accompanied by a promise on their part to subscribe to whatever shall be concluded in their names, the Executive Directory will give a speedy answer to the specific propositions which shall be removed, as far as may be consistent with the safety and dignity of the French Republic.
(Signed)
REVEILLERE LEPAUX, Pref. LA GARDE, Gen. Sec.
NOTE.
Delivered to the minister for the department of foreign affairs, by Lord Malmesbury, envoy of the British cabinet.
"The undersigned has not failed to transmit to his court the answer of the executive directory to the propositions which he was charged to make, and which were intended to serve as overtures to a negotiation of peace.
"With respect to the injurious and offensive insinuations contained in that answer, and which are only fit to throw new obstacles in the way of that reconciliation which the French government professes to desire, the king has thought it far beneath his dignity to allow any reply whatever to be returned on his part. The progress and result of the negotiation will no doubt evince the principles on which it shall have been conducted on either side, and it is neither by reproaches, as disgusting as they are without foundation, nor by reciprocal insults, that a sincere intention is shown to further the work of peace.
"The undersigned proceeds therefore to the first object of discussion set forth in the answer of the executive directory, viz. that of a separate negotiation, to which it has without the least foundation, supposed that the undersigned was authorised to accede. His credentials and powers drawn up in the usual form fully authorised him to negotiate and conclude a peace, but they prescribe neither the form & nature, nor the terms of the future treaty. On these points he must, pursuant to the custom long established and acknowledged, conform himself to the instructions received from his court, and he has consequently not failed to inform the minister for the department of foreign affairs, in their very first conference, that the king, his master had expressly enjoined him not to listen to any proposal tending to separate the interests of his majesty from those of his allies.
"A negotiation which embraces the interests and pretensions of all the powers who make a common cause with the king in this present war, is therefore the only one which can take place. In the course of such a negotiation, the intervention, or at least the participation of these powers: will no doubt become absolutely necessary, and his majesty hopes to find at all times the same disposition to treat on a just and equitable basis, of which his majesty the emperor and king gave the French government so striking a proof at the very moment of the opening of this campaign.
"But to wait for a formal and definitive authority on the part of the king's allies, before Great Britain and France should begin to discuss, even provisionally, the principles of the negotiation, would cause, it appears a very useless delay. A course widely different has been pursued by the two powers on all former occasions of the same nature; and his majesty is of opinion, that the best pledge which at this moment they can give to all Europe of their mutual desire to put a period as soon as possible to the calamities of war, would be to settle without delay a basis of combined negotiation, and to invite their allies to participate in it, in the best manner calculated to accelerate a general peace.
"It was with this view, that the undersigned had it in command to propose, at the very commencement of this negotiation, a principle, which his majesty's generosity and good faith could alone dictate to him viz.—to indemnify France, by proportionate restitutions for such arrangements as she will consent to in order to satisfy the just claims of the allies of the king, and to preserve the political balance of Europe. The Executive Directory has not explained itself in a precise manner either on the approbation of this principle, nor in the alterations and modifications which it may desire;
nor has it proposed any other principle tending to the same end. The undersigned, is therefore, ordered to resume this subject, and to demand on this head an open declaration, in order to shorten the delay, which must otherwise result from the difficulties raised by the Directory with respect to the form of his powers. He is authorised to add to this demand the express declaration, that whilst his majesty shall acquaint his August allies with all his successive steps relative to the object of this present negotiation, and with respect to those sovereigns in the most efficacious manner every duty of a good and faithful ally, he will at the same time neglect nothing on his part, both to dispose them to concur in this negotiation, by all such means as are most fitted to accelerate its progress and ensure its success, and to preserve them in dispositions favourable to his with for the return of a general peace, on just, permanent, and honourable conditions.
(Signed) "MALMESBURY."
Paris, November 12 1796.
To the above note the French minister for foreign affairs, Delacroix, returned the following answer.
Answer of the minister for the department of foreign affairs to the note of Lord Malmesbury.
"The undersigned is charged by the Executive Directory to call on you to point out as speedily as possible, and nominatively the subjects of reciprocal compensations, which you have to propose.
He is also charged to ask of you what are the dispositions to treat on a just and equitable basis of which his majesty the Emperor and King, furnished so conspicuous a proof at the commencement of the present campaign? The Executive Directory is ignorant of them. It was the Emperor and King by whom the armistice was broken.
(Signed) CH. DELACROIX." Paris, 22d Brumaire.
BOSTON, January 13.
We have, at length received the official letter of Moreau, on the victory at Buchon. This general gives a description very different from the fabrications of English ministerial prints of his situation and retreat—His only view in approaching the French frontiers was to communicate with the army of the Sambre and Meuse, and he brought with him from Germany 7000 prisoners and 80 officers. Thus vanishing into smoke, all the reports, rumors, fabrications and lies, made, told and circulated, of this general.—If we were to credit some papers on this continent, this general and his soldiers have more lives than cats—He has more than twenty times been cut to pieces: he has been mortally wounded half a dozen times at least! Poor Buonaparte was served in the same scurvy manner—he was cut to pieces; was sometimes dead, and sometimes defeated—It was but the other day that Wurmsler pursued him to Verona, cutting down and up, and refusing to give quarters! Yet he now keeps Wurmsler caged in Mantua! What he is next to be told? Is the Convention to be massacred, and royalty established in France.—How long will the people suffer themselves to be duped by beings who have scarce sufficient ingenuity to tell a good lie!
NEW-YORK, Jan. 20.
A letter from Philadelphia, dated Wednesday, says, 'It is said, Mr. Madison is appointed Envoy Extraordinary to France, and is soon to depart.'
An appointment of this kind has been looked for with anxious expectation—it is probable this was partly the subject of the late communications to the house; and if it be true that Mr. Madison is fixed on, no doubt can be entertained but that salutary effects will result from the embassy.
PHILADELPHIA, January 21.
The House of Representatives of the United States, in committee of the whole, have decided in favor of a direct tax on land, 56 members rising in the affirmative, and also in favor of a tax on slaves, 54 members rising in the affirmative. We shall give an abstract of the debate.
WASHINGTON, (Fede.) Jan. 31.
Lord Malmesbury, who was sent by the court of Britain to negotiate peace with the French republic, has failed in his object; and preparations are making by both parties to continue the war with vigor.

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, March 11, 1797.
We understand that on the 31st day of January, a party of Indians attacked three hunters on the frontiers of the state of Tennessee, killed one and took all their horses and other property.
From the Aurora of January 24.
It has been for some days past rumored, that an envoy extraordinary was to be sent to France, to settle the differences which have occurred between the sister republics. The late message of the President on French affairs proves, however, that rumor ungrounded, and the executive appears to rely with confidence for the accomplishment of that object on the exertion of our ordinary minister, Mr. Pinckney. But will Mr. Pinckney be received as our minister? It is reasonable to suppose, that he will not. He left this country before the minister of the French Republic had by order of his government suspended his functions here, he therefore cannot carry powers to negotiate an accommodation of that breach, and it is not to be supposed, that having suspended the functions of their ordinary minister here, they will receive ours. The Federal executive, if they sincerely with an accommodation of grievances, will then, certainly, be ultimately under the necessity of sending an envoy extraordinary, or of transmitting to Mr. Pinckney extraordinary powers.
COMMUNICATION.
The executive pretend that they will to preserve a good understanding with the French Republic, and yet they are pursuing every mode which can have a tendency to embroil us with that country. This letter of "man Timothy" to Mr. Pinckney is a strong evidence of this intention. This letter endeavors insidiously to criminate the Republic for the conduct of the monarchy, and contains as much irritation as could be conveyed from the administration. What is most remarkable, is, that the letter is designed as a guide to our minister, and yet is published here before it can possibly have reached France, and indeed when it must be believed that the publication and the letter itself will reach that country at the same time. Is the matter or manner of this letter in the stile of conciliation?
Does it not, on the contrary, breathe a disposition to excite new recriminations on the part of the Directory? Does it not seem designed to close the amicable accommodation? Would the publication have been made, unless there existed a disposition in our government to put France at defiance? If accommodation was the object would the reflections have been made public against the French nation? That a letter designed as a kind of instruction to our minister should have been made public before it reached him, is among the absurdities which characterised the administration. If a restoration of harmony was in the serious contemplation of the Executive, he would have transmitted the letter and have kept the Directory ignorant of its irritating contents until every prospect of accommodation was at an end, and then it would have been time enough to make it known, in justification of the administration; but, to do it at this time, strongly implies a disposition to excite such sentiments as shall put reconciliation entirely out of the question. It has ever been the opinion of those who have observed the conduct of the Executive that they were the enemies of the French Republic, their declarations to the contrary notwithstanding, and if any additional evidence was necessary to establish the belief, the letter to Mr. Pinckney will not leave a doubt on the mind of any unprejudiced American.
* The letter alluded to is from the secretary of state of the U. S. to Mr. Pinkney our minister in France and would fill 3 common newspapers entirely.

I GAVE my bond to a certain Armsted Churchill, in the year 1785 or 1786, for a large sum of money, it being the balance for a tract of land I purchased of him in the county of Fauquier, and state of Virginia, previous to his emigrating to the state of Kentucky—I have fully discharged that bond and every claim he had against me—I therefore forwarn any person from taking an assignment of the said bond as I am determined not to pay it a second time.

PERFORMANCE.
ACTAEON run a match on the fifteenth day of September last with the great running horse, Bumpard, from Virginia, and beat him with ease two hundred yards in a four mile heat.—Bumpard must have been in great order, as the party who bet on him, gave a distance, and bets were two to one against Actaeon.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
On PITY.
TO Pity's mild breast shall the sigh Which is breath'd from the bo- som of woe, In language resistleis apply For the boon which she loves to be- stow.
