From the CHARLESTON COURIER.
THE more closely we examine the circumstances attending the assassination plot at Paris, the more we are confirmed in our suspicions that the whole is an artful machination of the Consular Cabinet. Bonaparte, in whom the opposite characters of tyrannical king and regicide, democrat and monarch, Marat and Caesar Borgia unite is no less skilled in the art of destroying by calumny, than of cutting off by steel or — ; and in order to give a new spring to the ferocity of his subjugated French subjects, has we think only taken advantage of some circumstances which incidentally occurred at Paris, and on them built a stupendous structure of conspiracy, to make the people of France stare, and alarm them for the safety of his august, royal person; and at the same time to rouze them to a more violent abhorrence of England. We wait with true quidnunc impatience to see the unravelling of the catastrophe of this strange play: and it is probable that on the return of Mr. Drake to England, a communication of some kind or other on the subject will be made to parliament. In the mean time it is evident that the letters of several of the Ambassadors in answer to Talleyrand's note to the diplomatic body at Paris, have been dictated by the very men to whom they are directed. That of Schimmelpennick, the Batavian, speaks the very souls of Bonaparte and Talleyrand. The heart of an honest, sturdy, Batavian never could have dictated such mean, false, detestable lick-foot stuff. Could the representative of a nation whose groans and screams of anguish under the bloody gripe of the crocodile of Corsica, are heard to the farthest parts of the earth, and ascend to heaven calling for vengeance on the oppressor could he say if not under the influence of force or fraud or fear, or of all together, utter such degrading falsehoods to please that oppressor, and to vilify that country and that government from which alone, his trampled nation can hope for relief? Impossible. Does there not appear from a comparison of the letters of the respective ambassadors with each other, a regular gradation of tone, from the majestic loftiness of the letter of the Russian ambassador, down to the fulsome adulation and flippant, gratuitous impertinence of the American Envoy's ink-scratch? It lowers in proportion to the influence which the Corsican has, by congenial love , by fear, or by deception obtained over them. We have heard of many instances of robbers with cocked pistols in hand compelling persons to draw bills on their bankers. And in like manner the ambassadors are induced to sign their hands to letters base and grovelling, in proportion to the humiliation of their states. The American ambassador alone wants this excuse. He acts under no impulse but those of his own enlightened, honest, generous feelings, and of the spontaneous dictates of his own good heart.
Burke, in his regicide peace speaking of the ambassadors of that day, at Paris or as he called them "plenipotentiaries of royal impotence, sneaking into the regicide presence," says "The ambassadors may easily return as good courtiers as they went, but can they ever return with any affection to their masters, or true attachment to the constitution, religion or laws of their country? There is great danger (continues he) that those who enter smiling into that Trophonian cave, will come out of it sad and serious conspirators, and such will continue as long as they live. They will become true conductors of contagion to every country which has the misfortune to send them to the source of that electricity. At best they will become totally indifferent to good and evil." We are sorry to see the sayings of that wise man no less true than prophetic in that than in all his other predictions founded on the French revolution.
The congenality of our American ambassador's sentiments with those of the consular cabinet, the eagerness with which he steps forward to decide upon the criminality of Mr. Drake, and to deplore the conspiracy against Bonaparte, would astonish us if we had not a moral clue to those anomalies in the human heart. "The moral scheme of France, (says the great writer) furnishes the only pattern ever known which they who admire will instantly resemble." And in another place—"Men are not tied to one another by papers and seals. They are left to associate by resemblances, by conformities, by sympathies. It is with nations as with individuals. Nothing is so strong a tie of amity between them as correspondence in laws, customs, manners, and habits of life."
They have more than the ore of treaties in themselves. They are obligations written in the heart. They approximate men to men, without their knowledge, and sometimes against their intentions. The secret, unseen, but irrefragable bond of habitual intercourse holds them together." The conduct of some of the ambassadors at Paris, and of ours in particular, is a comment on that text which the blind can read, and the stupid understand. It is said that Mr. L. wished to be sent ambassador to England on account of some family connections of high rank there, and was greatly chagrined at being disappointed. We hope that he has found in "that focus of immorality and vice," Paris, some new relations among the ignobility who rule there, to console him for his absence from those which it is said he possesses among the nobility in England.
Should the tyranny which now scourges the human race, after having destroyed its moral sense, be overthrown, it will be a curious sight, the spectacle which its panegyrists will present. Awaking from their dream, they will look about them with astonishment, and if not petrified against all feeling, with shame, and exclaim, what! was such then the government which I called enlightened? Was that monster the man whom I so meanly stooped to flatter? What shall I say to expiate my criminal weakness? Exhausted as I have, all the topics of adulation upon that unworthy wicked person which is gone, where shall I find terms of flattery, or how venture to approach those who have driven him off, and succeeded to his power. This would indeed be an exigence of no common kind. It may happen, however, and least it should, we advise those complimentary gentlemen to prepare for it; and as queen Elizabeth brushed up her old Latin that was grown rusty, in reply to a foreign ambassador, we recommend it to them to brush up a few of their old past compliments to the regicide, which have been so long mouldering in the graves of Brissot and Robespierre, that if dug up and dressed anew, they will not be recognized or remembered again, even by the sharp, jealous eye, and strong memory of a Bourbon.

Latest from EUROPE.
NEW-YORK, June 25.
Captain Taylor, of the Columbia, arrived at this port, in 53 days from Lisbon, informs that Lord Nelson is certainly dead, and that the vessels in the harbour of Lisbon wore their colours half mast high, as mourning for that event, two days previous to his sailing.
He also states as a report current, on the change at that place, that the king of Naples and the Royal Family had been arrested by order of the First Consul.
By the arrival of the Oliver Ellsworth, in 43 days from Liverpool, London papers to the 3d of May are received at the office of the Morning Chronicle. These papers contain a circular letter of Lord Hawkesbury to the diplomatic characters at London, which may be termed a Manifesto of the British Government in reply to the charge of endeavouring to procure the assassination of the First Consul.
A commercial treaty between Russia and America, on terms highly favorable to the latter, is stated to be on the eve of conclusion.
The Traveller of the 2d of May, says, "Mr. Addington's administration draws very near to its dissolution and we understand that he has himself communicated to all his friends both in and out of office, his determination to retire. His majesty is said to have received the information with considerable regret, and to have acceded to a new arrangement of ministers with difficulty. There is not one of Mr. Addington's principal colleagues, not even, we believe the lord Chancellor, or Lord Hawkesbury, who will retain his situation. Mr. Tierney has, we can state with confidence, given in his resignation. The only thing decidedly fixed is, that Mr. Pitt is to be restored to his former supremacy in power and in influence. We are inclined to think that several days will elapse before any new system of administration can be completed. The new Secretaries of State will, in all probability, be Mr. Fox for the foreign, and Lord Grenville for the home department.
Captain Davis, of the ship Sally, from the Isle of France informs us, that Admiral Lincolns' squadron arrived there on the 1st of April, from the Straits of Sunda; and that on their passage they had fallen in with the British homeward bound China fleet, under convoy of six line of battle ships. Three outward bound India ships has been captured by the French, and taken into the Isle of France; from whence dispatches were sent off in a frigate for the Consular Government about twenty days before the sailing of the Sally.
Captain D. further informs that an embargo was expected to take place immediately after his sailing on all vessels.
June 23.
By the arrival of the ship Dilligence, captain Crocker, from Dublin, we have received Irish papers to the 10th of May, containing London News to the 5th inclusive, being two days later than our advices by the Oliver Ellsworth.
The captain reports that a change in the British ministry was momentily expected, and that a Regency was the subject of general conversation.
The subjoined articles are from the Courier of the 5th.
London, May 5.
In a second edition of the Courier yesterday, we mentioned that news had been received of 200 of the enemy's flotilla having come out of Boulogne. Early yesterday morning they were seen from Dover Heights, at anchor about two miles from the French shore. During the remainder of the day the weather was too thick to see them, but a distant cannonade was heard several times; it is probable that the flotilla only came out to manoeuvre, and that they returned to port in the evening.
Severe laws against emigration will soon be published in Holland. The richest and most respectable inhabitants, particularly at Rotterdam, have emigrated and settled themselves in England, at Antwerp, or at Embden. They carried their fortunes with them in their pocket books.
General Marmont, commander in chief of the camp of Utrecht, writes to the First

The brig Catharine, of this port, was spoken on the 20th June, in lat. 40, long. 72—out 53 days from Oporto.
The gates of the city of Havre were closed on the 17th April. It was said that the search for an officer of distinction in the English navy, who had introduced himself under the disguise of a French sailor, occasioned this measure. The inhabitants have been invited to make known all strangers whom they may have in their houses.

A singular circumstance.—A loaded pistol was fired inadvertently against a young woman in Manchester; the ball struck against her breast, but having a silk handkerchief on, it did her no other injury than producing a violent contusion. This produced the following wager: that a ball would not penetrate a dog, if covered with a silk handkerchief. The trial was made along shore, near Liverpool, a few days ago with success, and although repeated several times produced no other effect than bruising that part where the ball hit. Singular as this may appear, we are assured by our informant, that it is a fact, and that no ball will penetrate a body clothed with a silk garment. (Lon. Paper.)

Consul thus:—"I have the honor to inform you, that four large English Pinnaces loaded with troops, attacked the frigate Cheval Marin on the 21st Germinal, stationed on the Texel. The sailors were all drunk with punch. The battle was neither long nor doubtful; two of the pinnaces were sunk, the other two saved themselves but lost half their crews. This attack was an act of mere madness, which cost the English dear, as they lost some hundreds of men. The frigate Le Cheval Marin suffered no loss. The English probably thought of surprising her."
The Courier de Londres states, that Mr. Goldsmith, the quendam editor of the Argus Newspaper, published at Paris, is one of the principal agents employed by the French government to arrest French emigrants in the free Imperial towns. He was at Leipsic in the beginning of April, and ordered domiciliary visits to be made in all the inns of that town; but the persons he was chiefly in pursuit of found means to escape.
A letter from Folkestone, dated Thursday evening, contains the following information—
"The report of guns was distinctly heard this afternoon from the French coast near Boulogne; and the weather was so clear, that we could observe three brigs and two lugger rigged vessels come out of Boulogne harbour, and run along shore, as it is supposed for the purpose of getting to sea. Only one of our ships has been seen off Boulogne, and she drifted with the tide. The wind has got round to the S. E. to day, and the convoy under Dungeness are observed getting under weigh, for the purpose of sailing before dark. For the first time this season, a great number of lights were descried last night upon the French coast, which it is supposed arises from the French troops having encamped there within this day or two. We cannot otherwise account for this circumstance."
Mr. Hunter, a King's messenger, was on Tuesday last committed to Tothillfields Bridewell, charged, on the oath of a White-smith, with having endeavored to prevail upon him to make a key to one of the official boxes in which dispatches to our Ambassadors at foreign courts are usually conveyed.
Mr. Addington was with his majesty yesterday for an hour. Mr. Pitt, it was generally supposed, was to have been honored with a conference, but we understand that he has not yet seen his majesty. Nothing has yet been decisively concluded; but we suppose that the new arrangements will be declared on Monday.
The state of the King's health, and the probability of a recovery, are questions of too much delicacy for discussion in a public newspaper at present; though they are the subjects of conversation in almost every company.
The new Ministerial arrangements have not yet transpired. It seems certain, however, that both Mr. Fox and Mr. Pitt are included in the new Administration. The Lord Chancellor as well as Mr. Addington, waited on his Majesty yesterday.—His Lordship, it is said, will retain his situation, as will also Lord Chatham and Lord Westmoreland, the officers of Master of the Ordnance and Privy Seal. The office chalked out by report for Mr. Fox, is that of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

CIRCULAR NOTE.
Addressed to the Ministers of Foreign courts resident at the court of London.
Downing-street, 30th April, 1804.
SIR,
The experience which all Europe has had of the conduct of the French government, would have induced his Majesty to pass over in silence, and to treat with contempt all the accusations which that government might have made against his Majesty's government, if the very extraordinary and
unauthorised replies which several of the Ministers of Foreign powers have thought proper to make to a recent communication from the Minister for Foreign affairs at Paris, had not given to the subject of that communication a greater importance than it would otherwise have possessed. His Majesty has in consequence, directed me to declare that he hopes he shall not be reduced to the necessity of repelling, with merited scorn and indignation "the atrocious and utterly unfounded calumny, that the government of his Majesty have been a party to plans of assassination." An accusation already made with equal falsehood and calumny by the same authority against the members of his Majesty's government during the last war; an accusation incompatible with the honor of his Majesty, and the known character of the British nation, and so completely devoid of any shadow of proof, that it may be reasonably presumed to have been brought forward at the present moment, for no other purpose than that of diverting the attention of Europe; from the contemplation of the sanguinary deed which has recently been perpetrated by the direct order of the First Consul in France, in violation of the rights of nations, and in contempt of the most simple laws of humanity and honor.
That his Majesty's government should disregard the feelings of such of the inhabitants of France as are justly discontented with the existing government of that country; that they should refuse to listen to their designs for delivering their country from the degrading yoke of bondage under which it groans, or to give them aid or assistance, as far as those designs are fair and justifiable, would be to refuse fulfilling those duties which every wise and just government owes to itself and to the world in general, under circumstances similar to the present. Belligerent powers have an acknowledged right to avail themselves of all discontents that may exist in countries with which they may be at war. The exercise of that right (even if in any degree doubtful) would be fully sanctioned in the present case, not only by the present state of the French nation, but by the conduct of the government of that country, which, since the commencement of the present war, has constantly kept up communications with the disaffected in the territories of his Majesty, particularly in Ireland, and which has assembled at this present moment on the coasts of France a corps of Irish Rebels, destined to second them in their designs against that part of the United Kingdom.
Under these circumstances his majesty's Government would be unjustifiable, if they neglected the right they have to support as far as is compatible with the principles of the law of nations, which civilized governments have hitherto acknowledged, the efforts of such of the inhabitants of France as are hostile to the present government. They ardently desire as well as all Europe to see an order of things established in that country, more compatible with its own happiness, and with the security of the surrounding nations—but if that wish cannot be accomplished, they are fully authorised by the strictest principles of personal defence, to endeavour to cripple the exertions, to distract the operations, and to confound the plans of a government whose system of warfare as acknowledged by itself, is not only to distress the commerce, to diminish the power, and to abridge the dominion of its enemy, but also to carry devastation and ruin into the very heart of the British Empire.
In the application of these principles, his Majesty has commanded me to declare, besides that his government have never authorised a single act which could not stand the test of the strictest principles of justice and of usages recognised and practised in all ages. If any minister accredited by his Majesty at a Foreign Court has kept up correspondence with persons resident in France, with a view to obtain information upon the designs of the French government, or from any other legitimate object, he has done nothing more than what ministers, under similar circumstances, have always been considered as having a right to do with respect to the countries with which this sovereign was at war, and he has done much less than that which it could be proved the Ministers & the Commercial Agents of France have done towards the disaffected in different parts of his Majesty's territories, thus in carrying on such a correspondence, he would not have in any manner violated his public duty. A minister in a foreign country is obliged by the nature of his office and the duty of his situation, to abstain from all communication with the disaffected of the country where he is accredited, as well as from every other act injurious to the interest of that country;
but he is not subject to the same restraints, with respect to countries with which his sovereign is at war. His actions to them may be praiseworthy or blameable, according to the nature of the actions themselves; but they do not constitute any violation of the public character, except in as far as they militate against the country, or the security of the country, where he is accredited.
But of all the Governments which pretend to be civilized Governments, that of France is the one which has the least right to appeal to the Law of Nations. With what confidence can it appeal to that Law? A Government which, from the commencement of hostilities, has never ceased to violate it! It promised protection to the British subjects resident in France, and who might be desirous of remaining there after the recall of his majesty's Ambassador. It revoked that promise without any previous notice; it condemned those same persons to be prisoners of war; and it detains them still in that quality, in contempt of its own engagements, and of the usages universally observed by all civilized nations. It has applied that new and barbarous law, even to individuals who had the authority and protection of the French Ambassadors and Ministers at Foreign Courts to travel through France on their return to their own country.—It commanded the seizure of an English packet boat in one of the ports of Holland, though its Ambassador in that country had previously engaged to let the packet boats of the respective countries pass in perfect safety until notice should be given to the contrary. It has detained and condemned in one of the ports of France, a vessel which had been sent thither as a matter of indulgence, in order to carry to France the French governor of one of the different islands which have been conquered by his majesty's arms. Its conduct relative to the garrison of St. Lucia has not been less extraordinary; the principal fort of that Island had been taken by assault, yet the garrison had been allowed all the privileges of war, and had been permitted to return to France with an understanding that an equal number of English prisoners should be released. Yet notwithstanding that indulgence on the part of the British Commander, to which, by the nature of the case, the French garrison could not have the slightest pretension, not a single prisoner has been restored to this country.
Such has been the proceedings of the French government towards the power with which it was at war. What has its conduct been to those powers with which it remained at peace? Is there a treaty it has not broken? Is there an adjoining territory whose independence it has not violated? It is for the powers of the continent to determine how long they will tolerate these unexampled outrages. Yet is it too much to say, that if they do suffer, without controul or resistance, the continuance of such a course of proceedings on the part of any government whatever, they will soon see an end to that salutary system of public right, in virtue of which the societies of Europe have maintained and enforced for ages, the sacred obligations of humanity and justice.

Latest from Lisbon.
Arrived yesterday afternoon the brig Betsey of Boston, captain Bradford in fifty two days from Lisbon, which he left the seventh of May. Capt. B. sailed after the Columbia, arrived at New York on Sunday; and brings later advices than any heretofore received from Lisbon. He says that he heard no report of Lord Nelson's death, at Lisbon, there were several English vessels, some of them ships of war, lying in the harbor none of which wore their colours half mast high at any time while he was there, and there was no report current at Lisbon of the king of Naples and his family having been seized by order of Bonaparte. A Mr. Lampey, a passenger who has been many years a resident in a commercial house at Lisbon confirms the above statement, and says, that if any reports, such as those received via New York had been in circulation, he should have heard them.
COMMERCIAL.
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in Liverpool, to a merchant in Philadelphia, dated May 7, 1804.
"This day a sale of coffees have come on, and our prices have advanced full 8 per cent, particularly in low qualities; in short, the lowest prices were 140s. and that was mere trash. We consider our present quotations by no means dangerous. We are in daily expectations of a change in our ministry, which may give more confidence to the manufacturers, as well as new life to our dealers and speculators."

This lottery has been authorized by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a Seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect.

The treasurer of this lottery is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
