Negotiation with France.
CONTINUED.
(No. 67.)
Extract of a dispatch from Lord Whit- worth to Lord Hawkesbury, dated Pa- ris, Wednesday evening, May 4, 1803.
"I am this moment come from M. de Talleyrand. The inclosed note will show your Lordship, that the idea which has been thrown out, is to give Malta to Rus- sia."
My only inducement for having under- taken to refer again to your lordship, is to avoid every reproach of precipitation. The difference will be but five days, and I have declared that I see so many ob- jections to the plan, that although I would not refuse their solicitation to send it, I could give no hope whatever of its being accepted as a ground of negotiation.
Inclosure referred to in No. 67. The undersigned has submitted to the first consul his Britannic majesty's amba- sadors note of the 3d inst.
After the last communication addressed to his excellency, it is more difficult to conceive how great, a powerful and en- lightened nation can be willing to take upon itself to declare war which would be accompanied by such heavy calamities, and the cause of which would be so in- significant, the object in question being a miserable rock.
His excellency must have been aware that the twofold necessity of making an agreement with the guaranteeing powers of the treaty of Amiens, and of not vi- olating a compact in the execution of which the honor of France, the security for the future, and the good faith of the diplomatic intercourse between the nations of Europe, were so deeply interested, had imposed a law upon the French govern- ment of discarding every proposition dia- metrically contrary to the treaty of Amiens. Nevertheless the first consul, accustomed for two months to make every species of sacrifice for the main- tenance of peace, would not reject a Mezzo- termino of a nature to conciliate the inter- ests and dignity of the two countries.
His Britannic Majesty appears to have been of opinion, that the Neapolitan gar- rison which was to have been placed at Malta, would not afford a sufficient force for securing the actual independence of the Island.
This motive being the only one which can explain his majesty's refusal to evacu- ate the island, the first Consul is ready to consent that the island of Malta shall be placed in the hands of one of the three powers who have guaranteed its indepen- dence, either contracting or acceding to the treaty of Amiens, to consent to it.
Were it possible that this proposition should not be accepted, it would be ma- nifested not only that England never in- tended to comply with the terms of the treaty of Amiens, but that she has not been actuated by good faith in any of her demands, and that in proportion as France conceded one point, the British govern- ment advanced another. If this should be demonstrated, the first consul will at least have given another proof of his sincerity, of his anxiety to devise the means of avoiding war, of his eagerness to embrace them, and of the value which he would place on their being adopted.
(No. 68.)
Downing Street, May 7, 1803.
My Lord, Your excellency's dispatches have been received, and laid before the king. The propositions which have been made to you on the part of the French govern- ment could have induced your excellency to delay your departure until the return of the messenger, Sylvester; are in every respect so loose, indefinite, unsatisfactory, and fall so short of the just pretensions of his majesty, that it is impossible that the French government could have expected them to have been accepted. During the whole of the discussions which have lately occurred, his majesty has had a right to consider himself in the character of the in- jured party. No means have been omit- ted on his part to induce the French go- vernment to make full and early explana- tion of their views, and to afford to his majesty that satisfaction and security to which he considered himself to be entitled. It was in consequence of the apparent de- termination of the French government to evade all discussion on the points of differ- ence between the two countries, that his
majesty was induced to state the grounds on which, according to its views, an ar- rangement might be concluded satisfactory to both governments; and he accordingly authorised your excellency to communicate the three projects which at different times I had forwarded to you.
Until the very moment when your ex- cellency was about to leave Paris, the French government have avoided making any distinct proposition for the settlement of the differences between the two coun- tries; and when, at the very instant of your departure, the French government felt themselves compelled to bring for- ward some proposition to a part only of the subject in discussion, and on that part of it, what they have brought forward is wholly inadmissible.
The French government proposed that his majesty should give up the island of Malta to a Russian, Austrian, or Prussian garrison. If his majesty could be dispo- sed to waive his demand for a temporary occupation of the island of Malta, the em- peror of Russia would be the only sove- reign to whom, in the present state of Europe, he could consent that the island should be assigned; and his majesty has certain and authentic information that the emperor of Russia would on no account consent to garrison Malta. Under these circumstances his majesty perseveres in his determination to adhere to the substance of his third project as his Ultimatum. As however, the principal objection stated by the French government to his majesty's proposition is understood to be confined to the insertion of an article in a public treaty by which his majesty shall have a right to remain in the possession of the island of Malta, for a definite number of years, his majesty will consent that the number of years (being in no case less than ten) may be stated in a secret article; and the public articles may be agreed to conform- ably to the enclosed project. By this ex- pedient, the supposed point of honor of the French government might be saved. The independence of the island of Malta would, in principle, be acknowledged, and the temporary occupation of his majesty would be to depend alone on the present state of the island of Lampedosa.
You may propose this idea to M. Tal- leyrand, at the same time assuring him, that his majesty is determined to adhere to the substance of his ultimatum. And if you shall not be able to conclude the minute of an arrangement on this princi- ple, you will on no account remain in Pa- ris more than thirty-six hours after the receipt of this dispatch.
I observe by your dispatch, you did not consider yourself as authorised to de- liver to the French government any note or project in writing. The words of my dispatch were, that you were to commu- nicate the terms officially, which left it at your own discretion to communicate them verbally, or in writing as you might judge most expedient. You were certainly right in communicating them, in the first in- stance, verbally: but as so much stress has been laid by M. Talleyrand on this distinction, it is important that I should inform you, that his majesty neither had nor has any objection to your delivering the enclosed project as an ultimatum, ac- companied by a short note in writing.
I cannot conclude this dispatch with- out recalling again your attention to the conduct of the French minister at Ham- burgh, and referring you to my instruc- tions, by which you should abstain from concluding the arrangement, unless you have received from M. Talleyrand an as- surance that his conduct would be public- ly disavowed.
I have the honor to be &c. (Signed) HAWKESBURY.
To his excellency Lord Whitworth, K. B. &c.
(No. 69.)
Extract of a dispatch from Lord Whit- worth, to Lord Hawkesbury dated Paris, May 9.
The messenger Sylvester is arrived with your Lordship's dispatch, No. 15 of the 7th of May.
As soon as I received your Lordship's instructions I prepared a translated copy of the project furnished by your Lordship and a short note, with which it is my in- tention to accompany the communica- tion.
I then sent a person to M. de Talley- rand, to know when I could see him, and I was informed that he was at St. Cloud. I soon after learnt, that he was gone there in consequence of the accident which hap-
pened yesterday to the First Consul. I understood that no bad consequences are likely to ensue & that he is able to trans- act business. I cannot however expect to see M. Talleyrand before to-morrow morning. Although this circumstance may cause a delay of a few hours, your lordship may be assured that the execution of those instructions with which you have furnished me, shall not be protracted.— I shall leave Paris most assuredly, or have concluded a satisfactory arrangement, within the time specified by your lordship, reckoning from the moment of my being able to make an official communication, ra- ther than from that of the receipt of your Lordship's letter.
(To be continued.)
NEW-YORK, August 1.
Our correspondent at Gibraltar, un- der date of the 10th June, writes as fol- lows:
"Markets here are very dull for all kinds of provisions. Flour has not even a nominal price; between 18 and 20,000 barrels are now afloat in the Bay, and fresh cargoes arrive almost daily. There are likewise in the port of Lisbon, 60,000 barrels, in Barcelona 30,000, and 30,000 in Leghorn; making together, in only four ports in this neighbourhood, 140,000 bbls. of American flour."
"Lord Nelson arrived here on the 4th instant in the Amphion frigate. He had given the command of his ship (the Vir- tory, a three decker) to Admiral Cornwall- lis, whom he left at sea in chase of some of "the enemy's" vessels, and came in the Amphion, bringing with him the offi- cial declaration of war and three French prizes."
"It is reported here that the frigate Juno and a Brig of War are captured off Toulon by a French squadron. There is a French 74 in Ceuta. Two sloops of war went from this port to watch her; and on the 7th inst. a tremendous can- nonading was distinctly heard, so that we believe an engagement has taken place between them."
"Same day a French barque was bro't in, a prize. The crew rose on the prize- master, as the English sailors were tow- ing the vessel round Europa Point; tied him to the main rigging, and secured the men as they came up the ship's sides.— They would have carried her off, but had left their colours flying under the English jack, and were seen by the frigate. When the boats from the frigate hove in sight, the crew of the prize made no resistance, but surrendered immediately."
"A day or two ago most of the crew of the frigate Resistance arrived here.— She ran on a rock off Cape St. Mary's in a fog, and was lost. The commander justifies himself by saying the master had altered the vessel's course during the night without his knowledge. They are bound to Malta for trial."
"Since the 15th of April the follow- ing vessels have arrived and sailed: brig Mary Louisa, Farrer, from Leghorn, sail- ed for Norfolk about the 20th April.— April 24th, arrived sloop Stork, Foster, of Boston, from Cadiz; sailed again for Cadiz 13th May. April 24th, arrived ship Trent, Kinsman, from Baltimore; sailed 14th May. Brig Traveller, Tay- lor, sailed from Alicante for Boston 30th April. Brig Fox, Lock, from Boston, sailed 1st June for Cadiz, from thence to proceed to Russia. Brig Hopewell, sail- ed for Cadiz June 1st. Ship Franklin, Conklin, of Philadelphia, from Alexan- dria, Virg. arrived, and sailed for Barce- lona 23rd May. Schr. Betsey, Jones, from Naples for Boston. June 1st, brig Argo, Smith, from New York, arrived here on the 25th March; but being disappoint- ed in the markets, went to Lisbon, where they were found worse, 60,000 barrels of flour being then in the river; returned, and went to Malaga; sold part, and on the 25th May returned here with 500 barrels, which were sold at 7 1/2 dols."
"On the 2d instant arrived here the ship Thomas, Vickery from Norfolk. Ship Ulysses, Mugford, from N. York, sailed for Marseilles on the 6th June: she cleared out for Lisbon, but came here on account of the markets, which at Lisbon were very bad. Ship Mars, Lord, from Philadelphia, sailed for Barcelona, 6th June: she did not come to anchor, but merely laid off and on for a little time. Brig Hiram, Fullerton, of Philadelphia, sailed for Leghorn, June 3d. Ship Uni- on, Hodges, of Salem, for a market, sail- ed June 6th. Ship Rover, Heard, from Alexandria, and brig American Hero,

Masters, from New York, arrived on the 15th inst. Since the 7th instant, have arrived the brig Hunter, of Baltimore, from Cadiz with flour; ship South Carolina, from Barcelona, for Norfolk; ship —, Jo- seph, for Barcelona, for Salem, all to sail with the first easterly wind; and two prizes."

NORFOLK, (Vir.) July 26. The next meeting of Congress will be a period big with the fate of the United States.—'Tis her interest to steer clear of any dispute with either of the contend-ing powers in Europe, and by that means insure the Carrying Trade to herself, whilst they are at war. That part of the cession of Louisiana which stipulates, that New Orleans shall be a free port for France and Spain, to the exclusion of other nations, is a serious subject for Congress to deliberate upon; for Eng-land, if the treaty is so ratified, will not be on a footing with the most favoured nation . The calling of Congress, there-fore, is a very proper step on the part of the President of the United States.

Not less than 20 sail have been taken and sent thither within the last 15 days. Some few Americans have escaped; but those which have arrived were chased close in with the harbor. We understand the English com-mander on this station has orders to cap-ture all French vessels bound in or out of this port. The government appears to be much alarmed. In consequence, the duty is taken off all American produce."
"A census of the inhabitants was taken yesterday, that provisions may be equally distributed. A number of French vessels have been cut out of Jeremie by the English. We have two 74's and 4 frigates in this port, which are preparing for France with all possible dispatch. A hot press of French seamen has taken place both in the harbour and on the shore. You may expect to hear of an engagement before long."
"All kinds of American produce have taken an uncommon rise. Flour is 22 dollars per barrel by the cargo, pork 25, beef 16, rice 10 cents, lard 18, butter 25, lumber 38 dollars per 1000."
"The sch'r Fair Trader, Gardiner, arrived this day from Philadelphia; and the brig Three Brothers, O'Neil, from Baltimore."

THAT country must be in a very low debased political state, one would think, which can afford its political writers no better or worthier subject for discussion than the paltry peculium—the miserable more or less of the salaries of its officers. The present administration came into power with the deceptive cant of power economy in their mouths, and they con-tinue to brawl out " Poverty, Poverty ," like blind beggars in the street, to the annoyance of all that hear them—but at the same time to their own emolument. Like the Paupers of the East, and the beg-ging Friars of Popish countries, they preach and profess poverty while their garments are embossed with concealed measure quilted in clumsily to look like patches. Yet it is not surprising that they should at last believe that there is nothing which so much demands attention as those things, when it is their nature as well as their habit to have themselves no-thing else in view but the emoluments, of office.—Like pedants of every kind they can scarcely bring themselves to talk out of their bobby horse . In short, salary, office, fees, emoluments—and all that stuff is the Latin of those LIN-gos—it occupies all their thoughts by day, it makes up the patch work of their dreams by night—it is their all in all —and they would make us believe that it is the all in all of the state too. Economy they would have it thought is the uni-versal panacea—like a certain Frenchman, who undertook to prove that dancing would enable a man to do any thing and every thing in life well; though he for-got that it could not make himself wise. In short, economy, beggarly economy, with its mumping cant was to supply the place of wisdom, fortitude, energy, know-ledge, and every other desideratum in a state. We much fear too it is all they will give us for them.
When the renowned Sextus Quintus was an humble Cardinal, he, to shew his humility, hung a net up in his room, as if to tell every one the meanness of his de-cent. Economy and humility were the virtues he affected too. At length, by a masterly stratagem of the beggar-trick kind, he got himself elected Pope—and he pulled down the net. On being interro-gated by a friend why he did so, he repli-ed, with a Sardonc grin—"I have caught the fish!" This is strongly indica-tive of the bold intrepid spirit which dis-tinguished that extraordinary man. But other spirits actuate our fishermen's sons in America—now that they have caught the fish, they love the net so much that they must be holding it up to view. They must, at least weekly, if not daily, remind the people of America, what filly gulls they must have been to be cajoled by such bungling beggarly devices.
We are led into these animadversions by a piece taken from a northern paper.—Those apothecaries who, poorly as their shop is stored "with beggarly accounts of empty boxes," can make up large peri-odical bills with " ditto repeated ," are continually lugging forth again and again to the public, the jejune subject of sala-ries, which has over and over again been laid asleep. One would think they did it from a perverse malign disposition, to give the federalists the mortification of follow-ing them over the same dirty, beaten ground. If this be their design they shall be gratified, for never shall they move in it without our following them; and we assure them that we shall do it with infi-nite disgust and mortification.
It seems, from the piece to which we allude, that the democrats are now wil-ling to admit that the federalists did not grant too high salaries. When the sala-ries were first granted they were opposed, they were abused, they were stigmatized, as excessive, extravagant jobs, and frauds upon the public, by every angry democrat in and out of Congress. Nothing could equal the clamour that was raised against them from one end of the union to the o-ther. Observe! the federalists were then in office! An election came on—that charge was made an electioneering in-strument, and by that and such kind of instruments the anti-federalists got into power. Now mark how a simple truth shall expose them. They no sooner go into power than, so far from lessening or foregoing any part of the salaries they so virulently censured, they actually revive
the law which had then expired; and give to themselves the full amount of the sums which they persuaded the people were too great for their adversaries. In a word, they have openly avowed and im-posed upon the people of America this most abominable and unjust sentiment—"That the same, salaries which were a great deal too much for the offices of state when in the hands of federalists, are lit-tle enough in all conscience for the same officers when in the hands of democrats." Is this honor? Is this fair play? Is this justice, or even common honesty?—Yes—it is, of one kind: It is true de-mocratical honour, fair play, justice and honesty.

United States of America, Fifth Circuit, Virginia Dist. rict, May Term, 1803.
Under a Decree of the said Court, we the Commissioners will ex- pose 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  F A R M,
called Mount Salus , alias Millthorpe , ly- ing in Fairfax county , on Difficult and  Wolf 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 appart- ments. There are several small build- ings, near the mansion house and gar- den. There are, also, a valuable mer- chant 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 al- most 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 shingled 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 advan- tage in the said house. The waters of  Wolf Trap , on which the mill and saw mill stand, are constant streams. The situation for country customers, or pur- chasing 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 de- scription, and about 19 miles from Wash- ington . The land is fertile and produc- tive, and the soil well adapted to receive improvement from the use of plaster of Paris. There are upwards of 1000 pan- els of fence on the land, and about 160 or 170 acres of well timbered land belong- ing 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 per- son 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.

A VALUABLE MILL  FOR SALE.
THE subscriber wishes to sell his MILL, known by the name of Clif-  ton Mill , within two and an half miles of Dun-  fries , on the waters of Quantico , which is as constant a stream as any in this part of the coun- try, and in an exceedingly healthy situation; very conveniently situated to a fine wheat country, not being more than half a mile out of the way, in going to Dumfries , from the main road lead- ing from Fauquier Court-House , Centerville &c. (and by some thought not any out of the way at all) and a very good road to it. There are, if the purchaser chooses, 227 1/2 acres of Land which may go with mill, (except one acre which will be reserved) or a smaller quantity as may be agreed on. The mill is an over-shot, with a wheel 20 feet 9 inches and 4 feet head, with two pair of Stones. One pair of French burrs of 5 feet, the other of Cologne, with every appa- ratus necessary for carrying on merchant business to the best advantage. The mill house is fifty feet long and twenty seven feet wide, two stories high, with a small kiln for drying corn, toge- ther with barn, stable, cow-house and lumber house, convenient to the mill. A convenient dwelling house, (not quite finished) with a kit- chen, meat and corn house; the whole of which have been built within 7 years past. There are two very thriving young orchards of peach and other fruit trees. It was supposed, had not the frost killed the fruit this spring, upwards of 100 gallons of brandy might have been made from them. Should the whole of the land be requir- ed with the mill, there is another small house, kitchen and meat house, at a short distance from the former.
The situation of this property must render it a desirable acquisition to any person inclined to engage in this line of business, particularly so as it is situated so near tide water. It is deemed unnecessary to say any thing more respecting the premises, as it is presumed any person inclined to purchase would wish to see them. Nothing would induce me to part with this valuable pro- perty, but the pressing demands against me which I am anxious to discharge, therefore a great bargain may be expected. Any further information may be known on application to,  JOHN SOWDEN , Clifton Mill . Dumfries, June 28. 2aw.

VALUABLE PROPERTY,  For Sale or Rent.
THE three story BRICK  HOUSE on the corner of King and Co-  lumbus Streets .  THOMAS PATTEN. Dec. 29. eo
Fifteen Dollars Reward
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 ALCEY , 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 apprehend- ing and securing the said girl so that I get her again.  Jesse Thompson. July 28. 12w3t
