[The following official defence of the French government, from a Paris paper of October last, against the English E- ditors of the time, was probably intend- ed to prepare the minds of the French people for an unsuccessful issue of nego- tiations then on the carpet, and corres- ponds well enough with an article late- ly published, under the London head, alluding to the orders which must have been given about that time for the re- tention of the Cape of Good Hope, as well as with the more recent change at New Orleans.]
(Balt. Fed. Gaz.)
From the Paris official paper, of Oct. 30, 1802, [translated for the Federal Ga- zette.]
There is a party of the English journa- lists who are using every method to raise a division—every line they print is a line of blood. They are anxious to stir up a civil war in the bosom of the western nation, which is now happily at peace. All their arguments may be summed up under the two following heads; 1st, Making ima- ginary complaints against France; and 2dly, creating allies very liberally, and endeavoring to impose their sentiments on the great powers of Europe.
Their principal complaints now, are the affairs of Switzerland, whose happy issue has excited their furious jealousy. It seems that they would have been much better pleased to see that unfortunate country a prey to civil war, in order that the harmony of Europe might be thereby interrupted. But the proclamation of the 10th Vendemaire has given a death blow to their expectations.
They appeal to the treaty of Luneville, which secures the independence of the Hel- vetic republic; but this treaty declares unequivocally that the interposition of France is indispensable. Now, of all the European powers, England has, in this respect, the least right to appeal to the treaty of Luneville; because she alone has refused to acknowledge the Helvetic re- public. She has also refused to acknow- ledge the Italian republic, the Ligurian (or Genoese) republic, and the King of Tuscany. She has not only been ob- stinate in this respect, but it is well known that, in spite of the lively representations of the French government, she has refus- ed to agree to the continental arrange- ments stipulated by the treaty of Lune- ville. England has no diplomatic agents at Bern, Milan, Genoa or Florence.
The English government, cannot there- fore, with propriety, complain of what happens in countries whose political exist- ence they deny, or with which they hold no public relations.
The affairs of Germany seem also to ex- cite very strongly the jealousy of these pe- riodical scribblers; and the resolute and generous conduct of France and Russia, for which they deserved the thanks of every man, of every city, and of every prince in Germany, is to these disturbers of Europe, a source of much malignant animadversion.
The King of England has acknowledg- ed all the arrangements in Germany, and he has adhered to them. To be certain of this, it is only necessary to read the vote of his minister at the diet of Rat- isbon; The British cabinet, likewise satis- fied at seeing its interests well managed, has, in this respect, not the smallest ground of complaint.
But, says the English libellists, the vote expressed by the king of England as elec- tor of Hanover , is not the vote of the En- glish nation! But in what other capacity has an insular power a right to meddle in the affairs of Germany? and to what an abject situation would Russia, Austria, Prussia, Sweden, Denmark, Bavaria, and the house of Wurtemberg, Baden, Hesse- Cassel, &c. and the French republic be re- duced, if they could not negotiate, conclude and arrange their mutual interests without the agreement of a power which has no more to do with these interests than with our diplomatic concerns! a power too, which, at sea, treats with contempt the rights of independent nations! The rela- tions which exist between France and En- gland were established by the treaty of Am- iens, exist in the treaty of Amiens, and go no further than the treaty of Amiens.
The allies which the party scribblers in London have formed on the continent, as well as their numerous complaints, are happily confined to their own disordered imagination, and to the fretful and jea- lous dispositions with which they are tor- mented. They wish to entice the Au-
strian troops by specious arguments; they wish to form armies in Tyrol: but alas! Thugut is no more! and S. M. [his ma- jesty] the emperor well knows, that if the Austrian power, was twice conducted to the borders of a frightful precipice, it was because they were twice lead by these per- fidious instigators.
The court of Vienna, far from wishing to shed the blood of its subjects, which, is so dear to it, is daily diminishing its ex- pences, in order to pay faithfully for the subsidies, which it received from England during the first campaign. That court instead of paying the English for those subsidies (which were spent in its cause) might in justice demand five or six hundred million from that government as an indem- nity for the expences last war. About the middle of last century, Kaunitz obser- ved to the minister of the king of Prussia, who was taking his audience of departure, "the king your master will one day find how expensive an alliance with England is." And if Prussia did not fall when its frontiers were overrun, and its capital was besieged, it was entirely owing to a prince of glorious memory, and his army, who will be long held up as models wor- thy of imitation.
The editors of these seditious papers are also making great attempts to rouse the Russian soldiers; but have these soldiers forgotten that when they were abandon- ed in the marshes of Holland, they were dis- owned by England—who, contrary to the rights of nations, did not wish to com- prehend them in the exchange of prisoners? And will not the Russians, the Swedes and the Danes long keep in remembrance the bloody massacres at Copenhagen?
Certain it is, and the powers of the con- tinent are fully convinced of it that peace is the greatest of all blessings, and that it is, at the same time their dearest interest. They know full well that a war on the continent would have no other effect than to concentrate all the riches of commerce into the hands of a single nation, and bring all the colonies in the world under its subjection.
Russia and France, united by reciproc- al esteem, by common interests, and by a sincere desire to maintain continental peace, will punish those restless beings who fill the English newspapers with po- litical abuse, if ever their libels should cause that wise minister to be replaced who governed Great Britain.
Let any one mention a single continental power for a hundred years past, which has withdrawn from a political alliance with the other continental powers, and has not justified that profound observation of M. de Kaunitz.
If the king of the Two Sicilies has twice seen his frontiers and capital in the possession of the French—if the elector of Bavaria has twice witnessed the same scene in his states—if the king of Sardinia has lost Savoy and Piedmont—if the house of Orange has lost the Stadholderhip—if the Oligarchies of Berne and Genoa have beheld their influence vanish—and if Por- tugal has seen soldiers on its borders ready to conquer the country—was it not all owing to their alliance with En- gland?
The peace of Europe is solidly estab- lished, and no cabinet, undoubtedly, wish- es to disturb it; but if it should happen that a few peevish individuals, enemies to mankind and to the tranquility of the world, should obtain any influence in the British cabinet, they will be the cause of interrupting that felicity and mutual harmony, which they have a right to expect in a state of peace, and in the re- lations which they at present bear to each other.
In fine, the French people are not igno- rant that these editors have excited a great deal of jealousy by their inflammatory pub- lications, and that they are using every endeavor to foment foreign and domestic commotions: so that it behoves them con- stantly to keep in that attitude in which the Athenians placed Minerva, viz.— With the helmet on her head and the lance in her hand. By this means nothing will be ev- er gained from them by warlike pre- parations or menacing postures; for fear has no place in the hearts of the brave!
BOSTON, May 6.
From the Mediterranean, LATE AND AUTHENTIC.
In the ship Perseverance , which arriv- ed yesterday from Leghorn and Gibraltar, William Eaton, Esq. our Consul for the city and kingdom of Tunis, came passen-
ger; and will immediately proceed to the seat of government. Doctor George Di- vis, of New York, is left charged with affairs.
"As late as the 1st of April Malta was not evacuated by the English; nor any apparent movements to that effect. It was said that transports were gone to bring off the British garrison from Alex- andria; but, it is thought, more probably to provision them."
"In consequence of the late mutiny at Gibraltar, the Duke of Kent was about to return to England, and the garrison to be relieved."
"The French government has finally adjusted all misunderstandings with the regency of Algiers, by a general accession to the Dey's terms. Conjecture says, that Talleyrand has touched a douceur from the Jews Boeri and Buhah, and consequently persuaded his young master into a decision on which he had long balanced between commercial policy and private ambition. Bonaparte might, indeed, have added one more sprig to the laurels which already cloud his brow, by annexing the "Po- tent Dey" to the catalogue of his slaves and might have done something handsome for the pockets of the Consuls. But the arch bishop is of opinion, that it would be killing the goose for an egg—that an Al- giers in activity would be ultimately of more utility to the French Republic, and, of course, to their sovereign, than an Al- giers in ruins —and that notwithstanding all the safaroumads displayed on the sub- ject, his practical business ought to be se- cure in the friendship of the First Consul! Consequently that chief of brigands will have nothing the ensuing season to check his depredations on whatever tributary nation avidity shall direct his outrage, whose delinquency may furnish him with a pretext."
"The Dey positively refuses to receive Mr. Cathcart as Consul for the United States; and as decidedly rejects cash in lieu of the naval stores, in payment of the annual tribute for the last and present year. According to the statement of Mr. O'Brien there will be an arrearage due that re- gency, on the 5th Sept. next, of 124,073 dollars; it being the tribute and contin- gencies of two years; including 30,000 dollars, estimated consular present, and 6,500 dollars, ransom of the master & four seamen of the brig Franklin , from the Ba- shaw of Tripoli, thro' the intervention of Algiers."
"The Bey of Tunis requires, and is resolved to have, a demonstration of the real friendship of the President of the U- nited States, a good frigate of thirty-six guns ; and sundry articles of smaller con- sideration, which he has signified to the government. He effects a right of free intercourse with Tripoli, in contempt of an actual blockade, and declares his deter- mination to hold the United States im- able for all infractions of this assumed right. He has conceded Mr. Eaton, be- cause, he says, he must have an American Consul with a disposition more congenial to the Barbary interests! Or, in the lan- guage of his Minister, more liable to his views. This chief is endeavoring to ne- gotiate a peace with Portugal, with a view of giving his corsairs a greater range by passing them into the Atlantic. It is yet uncertain which of his loyal friends the Danes, Swedes or Americans, will be designated as their prey."
"The Bashaw of Tripoli, now at peace with all the rest of the world, treats with contempt the overtures of pacification pro- posed to him in writing by Mr. Cathcart on the part of the United States, in con- formity to instructions from the Depart- ment of State. The notion of peace with- out paying is a solecism in Barbary. It is impossible, however, yet to determine what influence the appearance of Comm- odore Morris will have on the resolution of this petty pirate, as none of his fri- gates has hitherto been seen before Tri- poli."
"Citizens of the United States! Your Barbary lords assume a majestic tone with you; and, except you take an atti- tude with them a little more worthy of yourselves, to the common curse of the "fall" they will soon add, " By the sweat of your brows ye shall support your dishonour and our insolence! " Is it not already the language of their behav- ior?"
