No. 45.—Concluded.
With respect to several of the positions stated in the note, and grounded on the idea of the 10th article being executed in its literal sense, they call for some observations. By the 10th article of the treaty of Amiens, the island of Malta was to be restored to his majesty to the order of St. John, upon certain conditions. The evacuation of the island, at a specified period, formed a part of these conditions; and if the other stipulations had been in a due course of execution, his majesty would have been bound, by the terms of the treaty, to have ordered his forces to evacuate the island; but these conditions must be considered as being all of equal effect; and if any material parts of them should have been found incapable of execution, or if the execution of them should from any circumstances have been retarded, his majesty would be warranted in delaying the evacuation of the island until such time as the other conditions of the article could be effected; or until some new arrangement could be concluded which should be judged satisfactory by the contracting parties. The refusal of Russia to accede to the arrangement, except on condition that the Maltese language should be abolished; the silence of the court of Berlin, with respect to the invitation that has been made to it, in consequence of the treaty, to become a guaranteeing power; the abolition of the Spanish priories, in defiance of the treaty to which the king of Spain was a party; the declaration of the Portuguese government, of their intention to sequester the property of the Portuguese priory, as forming a part of the Spanish language unless the property of the Spanish priories was restored to them; these circumstances would have been sufficient, without any other special grounds, to have warranted his majesty in suspending the evacuation of the island. The evacuation of Tarentum and Brundusium is in no respect connected with that of Malta. The French government were bound to evacuate the kingdom of Naples, by their treaty of peace with the king of Naples, at a period antecedent to that at which this stipulation was carried into effect.
The French government were bound likewise, by engagements with the emperor of Russia, to respect the independence of the kingdom of Naples; but even admitting that the departure of the French troops from Tarentum depended solely on the article of the treaty of Amiens, their departure is, by the terms of the treaty, to take place at the same period as the other evacuations in Europe; namely, one month after the ratification of the definitive treaty; at which period both Porto Ferrajo and Minorca were evacuated by his majesty's forces; whereas the troops of his majesty were in no case bound to evacuate the island of Malta antecedent to the period of three months after the ratification of the definitive treaty; even in that event, it must be considered as depending upon the other parts of the arrangement being in a course of execution. With respect to the assertion in the note, that the Neapolitan troops were to form the garrison of Malta, until the period when the arrangements relative to the order could be carried into effect, it will appear, by a reference to the article, that by the preliminary paragraph, the island was to be restored to the order upon the condition of the succeeding stipulations, and that it was only from the period when the restitution to the order had actually taken place, that by the 12th paragraph the Neapolitan troops were to form a part of the garrison.
The undersigned has thus stated, with all the frankness which the importance of the subject appears to require, the sentiments of his majesty on the note delivered to him by General Andreossi, and on the points in discussion between the two countries.
His majesty is willing to indulge the hope, that the conduct of the French government on this occasion may be influenced by principles similar to those which have invariably influenced his own. That as far as possible, all causes of distrust, and every impediment to a good understanding between the two countries, may be completely and effectually removed, and that the peace may be consolidated on a secure and lasting foundation.
The undersigned requests gen. Andre-
ossi to accept the assurances of his high consideration.

(No. 46.) Paris, March 17, 1803.
MY LORD, I called yesterday on M. de Talleyrand to converse with him on the subject of what had passed on Sunday last at the Thuilleries. He had been since that day so fully occupied with his expeditions to different foreign courts, that I had no opportunity of seeing him sooner. I told him, that I had been placed by the first consul in a situation which could neither suit my public nor my private feelings.—That I went to the Thuilleries to pay my respects to the first consul, and to present my countrymen, but not to treat of political subjects; and that unless I had the assurance from him, that I should not be exposed to a repetition of the same disagreeable circumstance, I should be under the necessity of discontinuing my visits to the Thuilleries. M. de Talleyrand assured me, that it was very far from the first consul's intention to distress me: but, he had felt himself personally insulted by the charges which were brought against him by the English government; and that it was incumbent upon him to take the first opportunity of exculpating himself in the presence of the ministers of the different powers of Europe. He assured me that nothing similar would occur.

(No. 47.)
Is an extract of a letter from lord Whitworth to lord Hawkesbury, dated Paris, March 18, 1803; the only material point in this dispatch is a remark of the English ambassador to Talleyrand, viz. That by our possession of Malta, France was not threatened, but the reverse was the case, should the access to Egypt be opened by its evacuation.
(No. 48.)
Letter from lord Hawkesbury to lord Whitworth, dated Downing street, 22d March, 1803. His lordship says: "I have it in command to signify to you his majesty's pleasure, that you take the earliest opportunity to represent to monsieur de Talleyrand, the surprise with which his Majesty has learnt the conduct which the first consul had observed towards your excellency in the instance to which that dispatch refers; and you will add, that as his majesty has a right to expect that his ambassador should be treated with the respect and attention due to the dignity of the sovereign whom he represents, it will be impossible for you to present yourself on any days of ceremony to the first consul, unless you receive an assurance that you will never be exposed to a repetition of the treatment which you experienced on the occasion."
(No. 49.)
Contains the following note: The undersigned general of division, ambassador and minister plenipotentiary from the French republic, has laid before his government the note addressed to him by his excellency lord Hawkesbury. He has received orders to make the following answer to the observations therein contained.
The object of this note appears to be to explain his Britannic Majesty's message; and to give some elucidations which had been demanded respecting the execution of the treaty of Amiens.
The first consul will not make any complaint relative to the extraordinary and unexpected assertion of this act issued by his Britannic Majesty. Not one of them is founded.
(No. 50.)
Downing Street, April 4, 1803.
My Lord, It is become essential, that the discussions which have been for some time subsisting between his Majesty and the French government should be brought to an issue within as short a time as is consistent with the deliberation which must be given to objects of so much importance.
The last note presented by Gen. Andreossi, in the name of his government, in answer to my note of the 15th of last month, evades all explanation, and even
all discussion, of the points of which complaint has been made by his Majesty.
If the French government should seriously intend to persist in this course of proceeding there can be no hopes of a successful termination to the present negotiation. It is important, therefore, that you should ascertain distinctly, in the first instance, whether they are disposed to enter in explanation on the points on which his Majesty has complained, and to come to such an arrangement as may be calculated to adjust the differences at present subsisting between the two countries; and for this purpose you will present a note to the effect of that which is herewith inclosed. It is possible that the French government may continue to evade all discussion on the points in question, and confine themselves to a categorical demand, that Malta should be immediately evacuated. In that case, it is his Majesty's pleasure, that you should declare the impossibility of the relations of amity continuing to subsist between the two countries, and the necessity that you will be under of leaving Paris within a certain time. But if, on the other hand, they should shew a readiness to enter into discussion, and to give reasonable satisfaction and explanation, it is important that you should be informed, without loss of time, of the sentiments of his Majesty's government as to what might be considered as an equitable adjustment of the differences between the two governments at the moment.
I have, therefore, by his Majesty's command, inclosed the project of an arrangement, which, under the present circumstances, would meet the ideas of his Majesty's government; which would afford security for those objects which are considered as endangered by the unequivocal disclosure of the views of the First Consul, and which, at the same time, might entirely save the honour of the French government.
Fam. &c.
HAWKESBURY.
His Excellency Lord Whitworth, &c.
(First Inclosure referred to in No. L.)
The undersigned, His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary, has received the orders of his Court to make the following communication to the French Government.
His majesty has perceived, with great regret, that the French Government continue to withhold all satisfaction and explanation on the points on which he has complained and that at the time when they evade all discussion on the subject of his representations, they persist in their requisition that the Island of Malta should be forthwith evacuated by his forces.—His majesty can never so far forget what is due to himself, and to his people, as to acquiesce in such a course of proceeding. He has therefore commanded the undersigned to ascertain distinctly from the French Government, whether they are determined to persevere in withholding all satisfaction and explanation upon the points on which his Majesty has complained, or whether they are disposed, without delay to give such satisfaction and explanation upon the present state of affairs, as may lead to an arrangement, which may be calculated to adjust the differences at present subsisting between the two Governments.
It is his majesty's anxious desire that by adopting this mode of proceeding, an end may be put to that state of suspense and uncertainty which must be injurious to the interest of both countries.
(Signed) WHITWORTH.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, May 25.
Private intelligence from France states, that the cordon of 20,000 Austrians, on the frontiers of Italy is complete, but orders have been sent for 15,000 more troops to join it. This had offended Murat, who had demanded new reinforcements from France. Not only the Italian troops, but the French conscripts desert in bands of 20 or 30, over to the Austrians. Generals Verdier, Pully and Florella, agree only in their hatred to Murat. The demand of occupying Sicily with French troops has been refused for the third time.
A letter from Algiers, dated April 25, says, Mr. Falcon, the British Consul, has been exposed to the most eminent dangers. An officer of the Regency and a party of guards summoned him to open his house, the domestics fled, the house was broke open and two Turkish women found in it,
were condemned to receive each 500 blows with a stick. One of the slaves having made a confession which implicated the Consul and his Secretary, they were both seized, sent on board a vessel and compelled immediately to put to sea.
Last Friday, at three o'clock, the following Message was delivered by several of the Orators of Government to the Senate, the Legislative Body, and the Tribune:—
MESSAGE.
Saint Cloud, May 20.
The Ambassador of England has been recalled; compelled by this circumstance, the Ambassador of the Republic has quit a country where he could no longer hear the language of peace.
At this decisive moment the government submits to your view, and it will submit to the view of France and of Europe, its first relations with the Britannic Ministry, the negotiations which were terminated by the treaty of Amiens, and the new discussions which seem to finish by an absolute rupture.
The present age and posterity will there see all that it has done to put an end to the calamities of war, and with what moderation and what patience it has laboured to prevent their return.
Nothing has been able to interrupt the course of the projects formed to rekindle discord between the two nations. The treaty of Amiens had been negotiated amidst the clamours of a party hostile to Peace. Scarcely was it concluded, when it was the object of bitter censure. It was represented as fatal to England, because it was not disgraceful to France. Soon after, alarms were disseminated; dangers were pretended, on which was established the necessity of a state of Peace, such as to be a permanent signal of new hostilities. There were kept in reserve, and hired, those vile miscreants, who had torn the bosom of their country, and who were intended to tear it anew. Vain calculations of hatred! We are no longer that France which was divided by factions, and buffeted by storms; but France restored to internal laws, and ready to fall, with her whole weight, upon whatever foreign state may dare to attack her, and to unite with the banditti whom an atrocious policy would once have cast upon her shores to organize pillage and assassinations.
At length an unexpected message, all at once, terrifies England with imaginary armaments in France and Batavia, and supposes the existence of important discussions which divided the two governments, while no such discussion was known to the French government.
Immediately formidable armaments took place on the coasts, and in the ports of Great Britain; the sea is covered with her ships of war; and it is in the midst of these preparations that the Cabinet of London demands of France the abrogation of a fundamental article of the treaty of Amiens.
They wanted, they said, new guarantees; and they despised the sanctity of treaties, the execution of which is the first of guarantees which nations can give to each other.
In vain did France invoke that faith which has been sworn; in vain did she appeal to the forms received among nations; in vain did she consent to shut her eyes to the actual non execution of the article of the treaty of Amiens, from which England pretended to release herself: in vain was she willing to delay taking a definitive resolution until Spain and Batavia, both of them contracting parties, could have manifested their disposition: in vain, in short, did she propose to request the mediation of the powers who had been invited to guarantee, and who, in effect, did guarantee the stipulation required to be abrogated.
Every proposition was rejected, and the demands of England became more imperious and more absolute.
It was not in the principles of the government to yield to menace; it was not in their power to bend the majesty of the French people to laws prescribed to them with forms so haughty and so new. Had they done so, they would have consecrated in favor of England the right of annulling, at her sole pleasure, all the stipulations which bind her towards France. It would have authorised her to demand from France new guarantees on the slightest alarm, which she might have thought proper to pretend; and hence two new principles would have been placed in the public code of Great Britain, by the side

that by which she has disinherited the other nations of the common sovereignty of the seas, and submitted to her laws and to her regulations the independence of their flag. The Government stopped at the limit imposed by its principles and its duties. The negotiation is interrupted, and we are ready to fight, if we are attacked. We shall at least fight for maintaining the faith of treaties, and for the honour of the French name. Had we yielded to a vain terror, we should soon have had to fight to repel new pretensions; but we should have been dishonored by a previous weakness fallen in our own eyes, and degraded in the eyes of an enemy which should have made us bend to her unjust pretensions. The nation will repose itself in the consciousness of its strength, whatever injuries the enemy do us in places where we shall not have been able to prevent them from reaching them. The result of this contest will be such as we have a right to expect from the justice of our cause and the courage of our warriors.

HUDSON, July 19. Last week the indictment against Harry Crosswell for publishing the annexed paragraph, was tried at the circuit Court held at Clavarack. On Monday, the question whether the truth could be given in evidence as a justification was decided in the negative by Chief Justice Lewis. On Tuesday the cause was advocated by Mr. Attorney Gen. Spencer, and his Foot—and very ably defended by Mr. Van Vechten, Albany, and Mr. Van Ness of this city. Judge Lewis, in his charge, confined the jury to very narrow limits. He stated, that the only enquiry for them to make, was, whether Crosswell was the publisher of the paragraph, and whether the innuendoes were truly set forth. The jury retired about 7 o'clock on Tuesday evening, and returned a verdict of guilty, at eight next morning. As the whole transaction is to come before the Supreme Court in August next, we deem it improper to enlarge on the subject at present. A fair and correct statement will be laid before the public in due season.
The following is the paragraph which gave rise to the indictment: "Holt says, the burthen of the Federal song is that Mr. Jefferson paid Callender for writing against the late administration. This is wholly false. The charge is explicitly this:—Jefferson paid Callender for calling Washington a traitor a robber, and a perjured man. For calling Adams a hoary headed incendiary: and for most grossly slandering the private characters of men, who he well knew were virtuous. These charges, not a democratic editor has yet dated, or ever will dare to meet in an open and manly discussion."

Alexandria Advertiser. THURSDAY, JULY 28.
How little do they know of the world who feel surprised at the enormous reams of paper which, daubed with democratic and jacobin ink, deluge this continent from Maine to Georgia. "Scandal (says Tom Browne) is a never-failing vehicle for dullness." John Wilkes on reading one of Churchills Satires exclaimed, "It must succeed, for "it is at once personal and political." The crude trash of Paine would have died silently in the huckster, the snuff, the butter, and the cheese shops, if the libeller had not given a lift to the author.
(Courier.)
We have received a few numbers of Cobbett's Weekly Register for May. In one of the 14th May, we find, among a mass of remarks, on the politics of the country, some very passionate observations on the principles of stock jobbing in London, and on the influence which France possesses in consequence thereof. Alluding to the impositions passed on the May, or, &c. he proceeds: "What must we think of a nation which has been disturbed to the remotest corners of its territory, by a mere wagging trick played off on the Mayor of one of its cities, and a second time by a paragraph in one of its newspapers? These are most alarming symptoms. They prove the body politic to be in a state of fearful feebleness. Its nerves are shattered. It starts and trembles at every report. The events of the last week have, we fear, stamped the character of the British public forever, or at least till some great and strong, and, perhaps, violent remedy be adopted for the cure of the money loving malady, which now weighs us down to the earth. What that remedy will be, or whence to come, we know not; but this we venture to assert, that England cannot, with its present feelings, long continue to be an independent nation. Our readers will do us the justice to acknowledge, that we long ago predicted that it would be on the side of the funds which France would first attack us. We then stated, that, with our present funded debt, it was impossible to maintain public credit, while there was a power who could raise and sink our funds at its pleasure. It is absolutely impossible; and therefore that debt must be destroyed, or we must by some means or other get rid of that menacing power, which France has acquired over us, and which she now exercises with so much address and influence on her part, and with so much folly and cowardice on ours."

RANAWAY on the 10th of July, a Negro man named LEWIS: he is 22 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, well set, dark complexion; has a scar on his forehead which, I think, comes down between his eyes; is bow legged, and has a scar on one of his feet, between the toes, occasioned by the cut of an ax: he can read and write a little, has a very bold look, talks free and sensibly, and, at times, assumes a confidence when speaking, that would induce some to suppose that what he said was the truth: he speaks Dutch a little, and I expect has a pass, as he been in Alexandria where he went under the name of Lewis Hurley. When he eloped he had on a long, blue cloth coat, red waistcoat, and reddish coloured pantaloons, a high crown'd hat, band and buckle; I believe his other clothing were home made. The above reward will be given for securing him in any jail, so that I get him again, on giving information to Messrs. S. Croudson and Co. Alexandria, with reasonable charges if bro't home.

RANAWAY from the subscriber, in the month of July, 1802, about the 28th or 30th day, a yellow girl about 12 years of age, by the name of AILCEY, which I bought of James Wilson and Robert I. Taylor, of this place. She is a girl of a bold countenance, tolerable straight hair, quite a large mouth, and a small flesh mold on one side or the other of her face, just by her nose; no other marks that I recollect. It is more than probable that she is now lurking in the neighborhood of Alexandria, as her mother lives with Major Wm. Reily of that place. The above reward will be paid for apprehending and securing the said girl so that I get her again.

Under a Decree of the said Court, we the Commissioners will expose to public sale, for ready money, on the premises, at 12 o'clock on Friday the 19th day of August next,
That valuable and extensive FARM,
called Mount Salus, alias Millthorpe, lying in Fairfax county, on Difficult and Wolfe Trap runs; containing by deed 550 acres, and by survey 673 acres. The mansion house is on a high, healthy and agreeable situation, convenient to which are springs of good water. The house is 40 by 18 feet, two rooms on a floor, with a nine feet passage and stair case, 2 brick chimneys, with a fire place to each room, a piazza the whole length of the front, a cellar 40 by 18, walled with stone and divided into two apartments. There are several small buildings, near the mansion house and garden. There are, also, a valuable merchant and grist mill, saw mill, distillery, miller's house and overseer's house. The mill house is 40 by 30, two story high, half the lower story of stone, the other part of wood, and covered with shingles. There are one pair of Burr and one pair of Cologne stones, three bolting cloths almost new, one screen, all now in use in manufacturing wheat and grinding grist. The still house 40 by 30, one story high, walls of stone and thingled roof, the floors planked, the upper laid for malting grain, and troughs fixed round the whole house constructed to carry water to every vessel which may need it. Three stills and one boiler can be worked to advantage in the said house. The waters of Wolfe Trap, on which the mill and saw mill stand, are constant streams. The situation for country customers, or purchasing wheat, is exceeded by none in the county or neighbourhood, not being more than 17 miles from Alexandria or George Town, where there are excellent markets for country produce of every description, and about 19 miles from Washington. The land is fertile and productive, and the soil well adapted to receive improvement from the use of plaster of Paris. There are upwards of 1000 panels of fence on the land, and about 160 or 170 acres of well timbered land belonging to the tract. There have been nearly 20 acres of timothy made, lying on Wolf Trap and Difficult runs; 50 acres more may be made at a small expence. This farm enjoys many natural advantages, which are unnecessary for us to mention, it being taken for granted that every person wishing to buy such property will avail themselves of an opportunity of viewing the premises, previous to the day of sale, capt. James Wiley, residing near the land, will shew the premises, and also a plat of the survey, which is left with him for the information of those concerned.
The title papers will be exhibited on the day of sale.
