THE NEGOTIATION.
[Concluded.]
France was now called upon to present a projet on which the negotiation might assume a determined form. It was agreed, however, between the negotiating ministers on both sides, that the projet should first come from the part of the English agents, and that the French ministers should reply to it by a contre projet.
It is not within the purpose of this detail to follow note by note the alternately abrupt and retarded progress of this negotiation. Let it suffice to say generally that nothing was neglected on the part of the French government which could elude or deceive the British negotiators. Such were the endless conferences upon the subject of Malta; the manner in which the confirmation of the British sovereignty over it should be expressed; the extent to which it should be confirmed; whether it should be passed sub silentio, should be mentioned as a cession on the part of France, or simply considered as a part of the state of actual possession; whether England should possess it in perpetuity, or for a term of years. These several points, with many others of the same kind, were debated with the usual diplomatic dexterity on the part of the French negotiators. The complaints against the liberty of the English press were revived, and in reply to the answer of the British negotiator, that the English government could not prevent even strictures upon itself, a singular demand was made, whether an act of parliament was not of force to effect every thing? In another of the conferences the French negotiator expressed his confidence, and, as it would appear from the language employed, expressed it as the direct organ of his sovereign, that in the event of the successful termination of the negotiation, the peace of the two governments would not be again interrupted by the ostentatious reception, according to their several titles and orders, of the French emigrants in the British court; that such acknowledgment would ever be considered as cherishing the direct enemies of the French government, and must moreover render impossible the domestic intercourse of the two courts. These kind of topics lengthened every conference, and were distinctly the subject of many. It is as impossible, as it would be useless, to relate them all minutely; suffice it to say, that after the exchange of many projets and contre projets, the following, which was proposed by the negotiators on the part of England, was the one under discussion so late as the middle of July last:
 1. France to confirm the Cape of Good Hope in perpetual sovereignty to England.  2. France to procure the immediate restoration of Hanover.  3. France in the same manner to confirm the island of Malta in perpetual sovereignty to England. This article to be expressed simply.  4. France to evacuate the kingdom of Naples, and become a party in a general guarantee of the integrity of the Turkish empire.  5. That if, in return for a due valuable consideration, the Sublime Porte could be induced to the surrender or exchange of the district of Montenegro to his Russian majesty, France should not oppose, but should on the other hand faithfully and strenuously concur to give effect to such negotiation.  6. That the republic of Ragusa should be declared independent, but under the protection of Russia.  7. England, on her part, in return for the above cessions, and the restoration of the ordinary amicable intercourse between nations at peace, to acknowledge the imperial and royal title, and the state of actual possession on the part of France and her allies, subject to the above exemptions only.  8. The several settlements and islands, conquered on the part of his Britannic majesty from France or her allies, in Asia, Africa and America, with the exception of the Cape of Good Hope, and the settlements of Surinam and Pondicherry, to be restored to the several powers from whom they may have been conquered. 
This scheme or projet had been but a few days in discussion, when the honor and actual sincerity of the French government appeared in its proper point of view. The project was admitted into discussion, and discussed with much apparent heat, so as to give the most natural color to the artifice. Whilst the suspicions of the British negotiators were thus laid asleep, and they were congratulating themselves upon being
on the point of effecting the fond object of their aims—a Russian and Turkish barrier—the French Government procured D'Oubril to sign the act of the 20th of July, and renounce for ever that for which England was contending.
How did this affect the projet under discussion between the French and English governments? Why, the French negotiators immediately declared, that Russia having renounced the required barrier, and Ragusa being otherwise disposed of, the proposals upon those points could no longer make part of any discussion.
In the mean time the English court were lost in astonishment when they learned the act of D'Oubril. They were already better acquainted with the new ministry at Petersburg than D'Oubril himself. They had received assurances from them of fidelity to the common cause, at least of negotiating in concert—how, therefore, were they to explain this act of D'Oubril? The ministry had been long enough established for D'Oubril to have received new orders. D'Oubril, however, had evidently received none—the court of Petersburg was too much governed by private faction. The immediate court party might have prevailed—even supposing the act of D'Oubril not authorised by the new ministry, how could the sovereign refuse to ratify it.
Such was the situation of the cabinet of England—in this difficulty it was accordingly resolved to send the earl of Lauderdale; what remains may now be dismissed; the details of the negotiation of lord Lauderdale will soon meet the public eye.
The proposals of France were now dwindled down to the cession of the Cape, Malta, and the restoration of Hanover, and a free commerce upon paying certain allotted duties, for which England was to surrender all other conquered islands, and to confirm, &c. &c. the state of actual possession with regard to France and her allies.
It was now that another incident arose on the general state of European affairs, which was not without a most considerable, and immediate effect, upon the relations on all sides. This was the decisive and even angry tone assumed by Prussia in her intercourse with France. The perfidy of the court of Paris had at length outstript that of the court of Berlin, and the latter, having already lost its honor, found it necessary to enter into conflict for her existence. The season for temporizing was now past, and though in the habit of eluding, she has now lost half her courage to act; the enemy was on her frontier, and it was necessary to march forward and meet him.
This disposition of Prussia doubtless improved the situation of the earl of Lauderdale.
The government of France on their part, were rendered by the same event more anxious for a final settlement between France and England.
This change of circumstances produced accordingly a change of the form of negotiation on both sides; some concessions were made on the part of the French government, which induced the earl of Lauderdale to resume the negotiation after he had demanded his passports. These concessions are said to have related to that most material point of discussion, a Turkish barrier, and the consent to the principle of a general guarantee, subject to certain qualifications. This was doubtless something, and justified the concession on the part of our plenipotentiaries.
In the mean time the important intelligence of the refusal of the emperor of Russia to ratify the act concluded by M. D'Oubril, and about the same period of time an official assurance to the government of England, that his imperial majesty of the Russias would conclude no peace but in concert with Great Britain.
Here was therefore a third era in the negotiation since the arrival of Lord Lauderdale. His lordship was now raised to higher ground—He had no necessity of moving to avail himself of it. The suppleness of the French government anticipated him and enlarged its terms. The Greek islands were to be given to his Russian majesty. England now proposed the terms upon which Russia and herself would conclude a treaty, and England in the mean time conclude it provisionally. The demands of England were argued in tedious detail, but as it is said were not refused. The demands of Russia, still more just and moderate, were all refused.
Prussia was now in the field, and there was no further time or even motive for delay on either side. The earl of Lauderdale again repeated, as an ultimatum,
his demands both for England and Russia, and France again decidedly rejected all that regarded the latter, with an assurance that France had nothing so near at heart as to preserve the permanent repose of Europe, and to that purpose to prevent the interposition of Russia in European politics—that with these intentions France would not consent that Russia should receive in Europe an additional acre of land, —that France would as soon give to Russia one of her own immediate provinces as one of the Greek or Mediterranean islands.
The earl of Lauderdale saw that his mission was finished, demanded his passports, and returned.

POSEN, December 2.
The emperor Napoleon, soon after his arrival here, gave a solemn audience to the following deputations;—To the senate, in the name of which the senator Radzinsky delivered a very neat speech in Latin. M. de Sokelnicki spoke in the names of the noblesse also in Latin. The archbishop of Gnesin delivered a speech in French in the name of the clergy, as did also M. de Broza, president of the chamber. After him speeches were delivered by the president of the regency, and lastly by the president of the city. His majesty replied from his throne to all these speeches in the most affable manner. The emperor said, among other things, to the deputation of the senate—"Illustrious lords, shew yourselves worthy of your ancestors. They commanded the princes of Brandenburg; Moscow was in their power; they conquered Widn, and delivered every where the whole Christian World from the yoke of the Turks. I am perfectly satisfied of all that I have seen of you hitherto, as well as with the reports of my generals. I will proclaim your independence at Warsaw."
PARIS, Dec. 3.
There has appeared within these few days, a small work in the Hebrew tongue, with a French translation on one side, which has caused some sensation with respect to present circumstances. The author is a baptised Jew, who signs himself Samuel Yessiti (Christian) Paly Rusch, of the house of David, lieutenant at the imperial hotel of invalids. This work has for its title "Who is this but an Israelite Christian?" with the epigraph, "Our Philosophy is the religion of Abraham." Then follows a confession of faith. The author concludes by exhorting the young Israelites to range themselves under the standard of Napoleon to conquer Jerusalem and rebuild the temple.
December 14.
In execution of the decree which places the British isles in a state of blockade, a Barbary vessel going from Morocco to London, with a cargo of skins, almonds, cocoa, &c. has been detained by the privateer le Malequin, capt. Geoffry, who sent her to Cherbourg, where she entered on the 9th of this month.
December 20.
Extract of a letter from Frankfort of the 14th Dec.
"The irregularity which political events have caused in the course of the affairs of commerce in general, makes it nearly impossible to give an exact perception of the operations of exchange which have taken place latterly, and of the actual situation of this branch of speculation on the places of the north."
"The following is what we have collected the most positive on this head: a general complaint has been made for some weeks of a kind of stagnation; but at the end of Nov. all views turned towards foreign countries, because they there hoped to find more safety for capitals. It is to this circumstance that the rise of exchange must be attributed, which has taken place in the commercial cities at a distance from the theatre of war. Paper on Paris was then sought for as well as upon London & Holland; that of Austria was less, because of the difficulty of communications between Hamburg and Vienna, by Silesia and Moravia; exchange on Vienna suffered in consequence, small variations. The events which succeeded, had, as might be expected, a striking influence on the course of exchange. We no longer do any thing with London, because all communications with this place are cut-off. Exchange on Holland, which false speculations had raised, fell to its level; the single course of exchange on Paris maintained itself at the height to which it had arrived, and even gained a quarter per cent. It is true, that the cessation of all communication with England has brought some confusion in the places which had constant relations with London. Since the entry of the French troops into Lubeck, the affairs of the bank
with Hamburg, Lubeck, Bremen and Emden, has also ceased.
"No merchant of note any longer has a zards speculation. The imperial decree of the 21st of Nov. has entirely suspended them. We cannot dissemble, in fact, that a part of the connections of our city, was in direct or indirect connection with England, if not for the merchandise or produce of the manufactures, at least for the affairs of exchange, or concerning colonial produce. Our industry is therefore, at this day, the only but also the most solid source of prosperity upon which we can count; and there is no doubt, if the present state of things, should it continue for some time, there will appear many new manufactures and fabrics. Some provinces of Germany already set us the example. Thus the decree of the 21st of Nov. which wounds the interest of some commercial men, is, on the other hand, very agreeable to the manufacturers of Germany. In effect, this measure delivers them from the concurrence of the English, and procures already, a great vent for the products of their manufactures. Therefore it is, that the decree in question, has excited great joy in Saxony (Leipsic excepted) in nearly all the marches of Brandenburg, in Lusatia, Bohemia and even Silesia; these are the manufacturing places of lower Germany. The class of men which lose, the most in the present situation, are the commission merchants, and the agents for English merchandise at Embden, Bremen, Magdeburg, Stettin &c."
ALTONA, Dec. 12.
We have received from persons who have correspondents in Poland, some curious details respecting the destination & march of the Russian troops. In consequence of an arrangement which had been concluded at Petersburg, between the Prussian major Krusemark, and the Russian ministry of war, an army of 80,000 men, commenced their march on the 1st of Oct. To accelerate their march they left behind great part of their artillery, and were to be furnished with artillery and other articles from the Prussian arsenals. This army actually arrived about the end of Oct. in Prussian Poland, and advanced to Blonie, whilst its advanced guard was pushed two leagues on the other side of Kalish. From thence this division having received intelligence of the battle of Jena, and the total rout of the Prussians, fell back on the principal army, the greater part of which repassed the Vistula, near Warsaw, in order to place itself in a position to receive reinforcements; at the same time the court of Russia invited all the royal family of Prussia to repair to Petersburg. During the short stay of the Russians in Prussian Poland, they everywhere visited the houses in the towns and in the country, and took away all the arms. Several persons were also arrested.
HAMBURGH, Dec. 14.
This has been the mildest winter ever known: the late rains were accompanied with such warm weather, that the country north of Hamburg is completely clothed with green.
NEW ORLEANS, January 18.
Legislature of New Orleans.
House of Representatives, Jan. 14.
The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the hon. James Workman, judge of the county court of Orleans county, covering sundry documents, informing the house that he had adjourned the court sine die, and explained his reason therefor. The illegal arrest and transportation of certain persons, by order of general Wilkinson, the overthrow of the civil authority, &c. was also announced. The letter and part of the documents were read, and the whole referred to a select committee.
January 29.
On the 23d inst. the two Houses of the Legislature of this Territory re-elected the hon. Daniel Clark a delegate to the congress of the United States for two years from the 4th of March next. All the members present except four, voted for Mr. Clark.
The following has been handed us by a friend, as part of the presentment made by the Grand Jury, at the late opening of the Superior Court of this Territory. At a Session of the Superior Court of the Territory of Orleans held at the City Hall of the City of New Orleans on Saturday the 24th of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, came the GRAND JURY in and for the said Territory and made the following

PRESENTMENT.
In addition to the Bills of Indictment now preferred by the Grand Jury for the city and county of Orleans, they feel themselves imperiously called upon to present as a most dangerous and alarming evil, the late unprecedented exercise of military power in this city. They have seen with no less astonishment than grief, the laws and the civil authority prostrated before a military force—They have seen the citizens of the United States and of this Territory seized upon and imprisoned by that force, and deprived of the benefit of that great Bulwark of Civil Liberty—the writ of Habeas Corpus. Nay: more—they have seen the general commanding the American army here, come before this honorable court, and openly avow such illegal acts, and declare that he would persevere in them, and to this grand jury the same general has acknowledged the commission of such acts, and sought to justify them by alleging that they were previously advised or approved by the governor and two of the judges of this territory. Whoever his advisers were, we hold such advice, under existing circumstances as a total dereliction of all regard to the constitution and laws of the U. States, and as striking at the very foundation of liberty. We enter not into the question, how far it is allowable to do evil, in order that good may result from it; for we are no casuists. Many specious reasons are urged in justification of those arrests. We leave to those who urge them, to shew their validity, and to this honorable court to form a judgment thereon.

TUESDAY, MARCH 3.
A summary published in yesterday and to day's paper, contains a concise and satisfactory view of the rise, progress & termination of the late negotiations between England and France. It gives all the leading facts contained in the official documents which fill nearly forty columns of the London prints. After giving this view, it will be unnecessary to burthen our readers with the documents at full length.
A passenger in the Ann Jane, informs us, it was said in Bordeaux, that Bonaparte was about assembling an army of 1,000,000 men, 600,000 of whom he meant to leave in his rear, while he marched at the head of 400,000 to Russia, to settle his accounts with the Emperor Alexander. (Phil. Mag.)
Beaumarchais. —In the revolution war America received supplies of cloathing and military stores from Mr. de Beaumarchais. It was notorious that this gentleman was incapable of furnishing them from his own resources—it was believed therefore, that he derived his means from the Royal Treasury. Afterwards, when Mr. Franklin, the American Minister, settled our accounts with Monsieur de Vergennes, the United States were charged under three distinct heads, viz: Loans, Subsidies and Free Gift. The payments under each of these heads was distinctly pointed out, except that of one million given in 1776; and when Mr. Franklin desired to know what had become of that money, he was told that being a gift, no explanation was necessary. Mr. Franklin was, or appeared to be satisfied. Before that settlement, however, Mr. Beaumarchais, who had an agent in America, pressed for payment of supplies, furnished, and obtained from Congress Bills for two million four hundred thousand livres on their ministers in Europe, who, by the bye, had no means of payment. Mr. Gerard, the French Minister at Philadelphia, (brother to Mr. Rayneval, a Secretary in the Count de Vergennes Office) patronized Mr. de Beaumarchais' demand, which however was represented by some of the public servants in Europe, as wholly unfounded, and a mere scheme to put money in the pockets of individuals. There was much opposition therefore in congress. The resolution was carried, on the principle, that America, having received the supplies, ought to pay for them: That, to say the court furnished funds, was an assertion without proof; and the claim being made with the privily and countenance of the French minister, it was to be presumed agreeable to his superiors: Finally, that as the American minister in Paris would hardly accept the bills before he was assured of means to pay them, the court could, if they pleased, set matters right there.
These bills made afterwards a serious deduction from a subsidy of six millions, granted by the king for carrying on the war. When Monsieur de la Luzerne, the successor of Monsieur Gerard, learnt that the subsidy had been anticipated in that manner, he expressed dissatisfaction in
strong terms, and desired, that if Mr. de Beaumarchais made any more claims, he might be referred for payment to the French court.
The claim slept for a long time, and as it seemed pretty clear that the million unaccounted for had been fingered by Mr. de Beaumarchais, it was natural to press for a disclosure, in order that it might be charged to him here, in the settlement of his accounts; but Mr. Franklin, conceiving perhaps that the circumstance was not important, made the settlement above mentioned. Perhaps he could obtain no other—perhaps he did not feel himself in a condition to insist that the alleged gift should not appear in the account, till the application of it was disclosed. Perhaps the old gentleman thought it most prudent to let the article stand open for such elucidation as time might afford.
Two reasons may be assigned for secrecy. The one, of a public nature, certainly had weight. France had effected a strict neutrality previous to the treaty by which our independence was acknowledged, and had occasionally given assurances to that effect; and even, at Lord Stormont's instigation, had seized goods and embargoed vessels destined to this country. On these occasions, Beaumarchais made strong representations, claiming his rights as a citizen, and complaining of the injury to his property. These, which were calculated for Lord Stormont's inspection, proved a little too much. Persons who understood the French government, knew that such remonstrances would not have been hazarded by any one, not previously sure of protection. If, however, after so many assurances, it had been acknowledged that this very Mr. Beaumarchais was employed by the ministry to send out these very goods at the king's expence, it would have furnished the British government with the proof they wanted.
The second was perhaps the efficient reason, though of a private nature. Perhaps the French minister, good naturedly wished that America, in prosperity, should refund to the king's subjects, what had been granted by his majesty's bounty in our adverse condition, and he might not be unwilling that Mr. Rayneval, an old and able servant, should share a handsome sum with Mr. Beaumarchais.
After the king was dethroned, the American minister in France was so fortunate as to obtain a copy of Mr. Beaumarchais' receipt. Now as the French government formerly alleged the free gift of a million, and as the receipt of Mr. Beaumarchais has been since given to shew how that million was disposed of, it seems no more than reasonable at this time, when they demand payment for Mr. Beaumarchais, that they should prove the million in question was applied to our use in some other way.

Burr's Project, and the proceedings thereon, compared with the Spanish Conspiracy, to subvert the Sovereignty of the United States.
While every person, to whom either vigilance or vengeance, could attach the slightest cause of suspicion, of being implicated in Burr's projects, has been pursued with a rancour, that has superseded the laws, and would have overthrown the liberties of our country, had the writ of Habeas Corpus been suspended, the agents in the more dangerous & flagitious schemes of the Spanish government, to subvert the sovereignty of the United States, have been altogether unnoticed by the Administration—Neither the conviction of Judge Sebastian, nor the confession of Judge Innes, has drawn a single communication from the President of the United States, to either House of Congress—not a single step has been taken to investigate the most alarming conspiracy that ever was framed, by the government of one nation, and entertained by the traitorous citizens of another—A project, which, under its worst aspect, (unless the army had been seduced) could only be considered as a marauding expedition, has been made the ground of an alarm, that has appalled the nation, and was eagerly seized as a cause, for wresting from our citizens, every vestige of civil & personal liberty; while an organised system of civil war, and national subjugation has been overlooked, and stifled by those, whose duty it was to have instituted an immediate investigation, which would have vindicated the honor of the United States, and punished the delinquent citizens.
Whence, we ask, has it happened that a suspected attack by some Americans, against the possessions of Spain, should have excited so much alarm, as to prostrate all the barriers of our civil rights—while a flagrant and avowed attempt, by that very Power, to dismember our Union, and to
spread the flame of civil war throughout our country, has been entirely overlooked by the administration, and, as it would seem, buried in oblivion?
Is the protection of the Spanish mines an object of greater consideration, with our rulers, than the quiet possession of our own farms; or (admitting as fact what remains yet to be ascertained) is the projected invasion of her territories, by a band of freebooters, of less consequence than the systematized subversion of our own government, liberty and laws, by the commissioned agents of the Spanish crown?
We repeat these questions, and shall reiterate them, until the proceedings of the administration shall satisfy the public mind whether the pensions of Spain have been limited to those, who are already accused, and convicted, of having received them.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the ship Century, captain Dade, from Liverpool, which port she left on the 9th of January. The Century brought only one paper, viz. Gore's General Advertiser of the 8th.
A passenger in the Century states, that the treaty between this country and Great Britain, was ratified by the last named power and forwarded by a vessel for Charleston, name unknown, which sailed before the Century left Liverpool.
The January packet was understood to have left Falmouth for New York, previous to the 8th of January.
Although such repeated confirmations of the recapture of Buenos Ayres had reached England, it was not fully credited when the Century left Liverpool. The following extract from Gore's Advertiser of the 8th January, will shew, however, that they began to suspect the possibility thereof:—“A notice to the following effect was on Monday posted at Lloyd's: that the reports received at Lisbon, relative to the recapture of Buenos Ayres, are such as may make it prudent for English ships bound for the river Plata, to obtain previous information either at Rio Janeiro, or any other part of the coast, before they enter that river.
The recapture of Buenos Ayres, will be a severe blow to the shipping merchants—it is calculated that goods to the amount of 5,000,000l. sterling have been sent from England; 14 vessels had left Liverpool for that place, and 4 more were advertised as ready to sail on the 9th Jan. Of saddles alone 50,000 had been sent from England, 40,000 of which were shipped from London.
It is generally believed that on sir Home Popham's return he will suffer, having undertaken the expedition against Buenos Ayres without the authority of his government.
Policies were offered at London and Liverpool, that Bonaparte would be in possession of Petersburg, by a certain day—Specific day forgotten.
Murat it was expected would be created King of Poland.
American Flour was declining.
Insurance on American vessels had fallen 50 per cent.
From the Liverpool Advertiser, Jan. 8.
Sir Hardford Jones has brought the latest accounts to government from the headquarters of the Russian armies. He had a full opportunity of viewing them with his own eyes, and we have his authority to say, that he never saw an army in a higher state of discipline, better appointed in every respect, or more eager to meet the enemy a l'arme blanche. The two columns of Russians under generals Benningsen and Buxhovden, amounting in all to 150,000 men, he says, must have joined on the 8th or 9th of Dec. He brings an account, on the authority of letters from Elbing, dated the 8th of December, that the French passed the Vistula and took possession of Thorn. Estafettes from Grandentz and Marienwerder confirm this intelligence—but the French were very much reduced by sickness. About one-fourth of their whole army were down in flux & other diseases.
On the 13th ult. Lord Hutchinson and suite, in the Sparrow gun brig, passed the island of Atholm or Christiansoe, and expected to land at Pillau on the 16th. The Treasure of the king of Prussia was on board vessels at Pillau, ready to put to sea at a moment's notice.
The Austrians had formed a strong cordon all along the banks of the Pelizeza. This army is in fine order, and their magazines plentifully supplied. The people of Austrian Poland remained perfectly quiet, and the levies at Petrichau, Plock, Kalisz, Gnesen and Posen, in Prussian Poland, had by no means answered the hopes of the French.
Several letters dated the 10th of December, have been received from St. Petersburg, which mention that a strong Russian force, under the command of Gen. Von Essen, had taken possession of Grodno. It is stated that the Russian general, on his arrival before the place, summoned it to surrender, which was refused; the Russians then began to bombard it, and threatened to take it by storm and put every man to death found in the garrison.—This had the desired effect.
The Norfolk Packet, captain Palmer, will sail on Thursday next.
TO-MORROW, at 11 o'clock, will be sold, on Vorstell's wharf, 100 bags of first quality COFFEE, On a credit of 60 days, for approved indorsed negotiable notes. P. G. Marsteller.

Valuable Lands for Sale.
On the 23d day of April next, I will sell, at public sale, for ready money,
A valuable Tract of Land, now in the occupation of Dr. James H. Blake; situate in Fairfax county, in the commonwealth of Virginia, on the south side of Pohick creek, containing about 325 acres, be the same more or less. This land was sold and conveyed in the year 1795 by Col. William Fitzhugh to James H. Blake, Richard Parrott, and Anthony Banning, and in 1798 by them conveyed to me in trust to be sold upon the happening of certain events which have taken place. Col. William Fitzhugh held this land under his ancestors, who together with himself had possessed it without any interfering adverse claims from any quarter very many years previous to the year 1795; so that it is believed there can be no possible doubt in the title: but selling as I do as a trustee, I will not give any warranty except against myself and those claiming under me. A further description is conceived unnecessary, as the sale will be made on the land on the day above mentioned, and commence at the hour of 11 o'clock in the forenoon.
