FAILURE OF THE NEGOCIATION.
As Official Communication was yesterday made
to the Loam MAYOR, of which the following is a
. Copy :
Lord Howick presents This compliments to the Le id Mayor
has she bosom to transmit, for idto informetom of his Lord-
ship, a Copy of a Message just received from Deal.
Dowirincstreer, Oft. 1606.

" Telegraph Message from Deal, seven minutes nag one,
p Bth 96. 1806: A Messenger arrived...4,mi' Laurienhie
guile Paris to-isiorrow...plyde frigate ordered to attend.
(Signed) " JAMES SHAW, Mayer.

Immediately after the receipt of she above import-
ant intelligence, the Loan Maven went to the Ex-
change, and read Lord Hewlett's note. It was
also read aloud at LLOYD'S Coffee-house, where
the intelligence diffused uni I satisfaaion, and
' wit heard amidst hoszas and shouts of applause.
—The money market having closed at three
o'clock, the news did not transpire in time
to affeC the fends. That the intelligence will pro-
duce a depression we must presume, but to what
extent is not easy to conjecture, as this result has
been long contemplated with confidence in the best
informed circles.—While some of our contempora-
ries were yesterday amusing the public with assur-
ances, that the negotiation was in the most favour-
able train, and that the last Messenger carried
over a supply of means to enable the Earl of Lau-
Dentaxa to maintain his rank and station at Paris
with more dignity, we informed oar readers that
pis Lordship might be eipeaed home immediately.
—.limit is slot merely of one instance of correa in-
fatuation upon this important subjea, of which we
may boast.—We can look back with pride and sa-
tisfaition to our whole condult and course since its
commescoment- We were the first to announce the
existence of a negociatioa ; and we continued to re-
peat it. regardless of the clamour and abuse of cr.-
'ions. ignorant, or designing prints. which daily
denied the truth of oar assertion. We were also
the first to caution the public against entertaining
sanguine hopes of peace, and to express our fears,
that the negociation would come to nothing, at the
very time when those who had a little before denied
its existence, were loud in their prophecies of its
success. To that opinion we have uniformly ad-
hered; nor do we claim any extraordinary credit
for it, as upon a review of the events which
have occurred since March last, it is difficult to
conceive upon what good ground any other opinion
could be entertained. The Confederacy of the
Rhine, that flagrant proof of the determination of
Bon •F Aar tie extend his aggressions against the
liberties of &asps, promised no chance of a secure
and honourable peace, such only as the English Go-
vernment could or would conclude. The refusal
of the Emperor of Russia to ratify D'Otisiti
Treaty, and the prospect of a war between France
sod Pussia, were also circumstances calculated to
place a reconciliation between England and France
at a greater distance. Indeed, the Paris Papers
have furnished upon the occasion a rare instance of

candour and plain dealing. The Man deur. the Gazette
of the French Government, upon the first report of
the seriousness of Mr. Fos's indisposition, did not
hesitate to apprise the world, that his death would
Ise the signal of the rupture of the negociation.—
With theme, and many other circumstances, adverse
to peace, before our eyes, we can claim little credit
for our doubts of the success tat the Earl of 1.4 L-
oam* La's mission.
The Hambargh Mail, due on Sundays arrived,
latt Ides, with letters and papers to the Id inst.—
ifestilitier had not ,onintonced, at fiat tiliter4ootnein
France and Prnosia ; but the military movements
were continued on both sides with entreated offivity.
The Russian troops, to the amount of 90,000 men,
arc said to have arrived on the frontiers of Silesia
and Gallicia ; and on the other Land, the French
troops, in Germany, are all in motion; those which
were lately encamped near Paris, are supposed to be
destined fpr Holland. —A letter from Hamburgh,
of that 50th last, states, that their RUSSIAII and
PIIVSSIAN MAJESTIES, the Archduke CEASE CS, and
the Grand Duke CONE tAN I IN //, are espested at
Dresden.—Boo AAAAA E was to proceed to Dussel-
dorf and Culogne.—The French Minister, 1.1170-
NEST, *till continued at Berlin on the 27th last,
bot every thing was prepared for his departure.
We have received Paris Papers to the sth inst.
They are uncommonly Linen of intelligence. M.

swer .0 his detuand of his psssportf, that he should

receive them from His Paysst Alt Mansir v at
Heid•Quarters. Ja. Prom heAlee„ it is suPposed,
that a farther attempt sei:l be made to settle

fore an appeal is made to the sword. lioaAraaTE
has arrived at Meatz, ALI Irons the number of
his family and favourites that have followed
him, will ptobably keep a sort of Court there.— 1
['nese are the only new fags of any interest in the'
Pain Pipets. The deficiency of news is, however,l
supplied by an essay in The Argue, upon the cap-
ture of • Buenos Ayres, and a letter, purporting
to be written by a traveller at rived at Fr Ankfort from
Berlin, but artually fabricated at Paris ; pretending
to be an account of the political principles of the
several Members who compose the Court Party in
Berlin, and vying in its indecent relledions on the
amiable Queen of PRUSSI A, with the most malignant
libels of the French Government upon the Queen of
N•PI. RS,

We have received New Yolk Papers to the 9th
last, our extraas from which are given in a subse-
quent column. They represent the French squa-
dron, to which Jraou e BONAPARTe belonged, as
damaged and dispersed by a storm, between the
10th and 19th of August, and arrived in American
ports. They also announce the capture of a Spa-
nish frigate of 40 guns, by the Amnia and Arelbara.
An article, dated Kingston, Jamaica, Angust
IS, says, that accounts were received that M
a•moa hod landed, and taken possession of Coro,
about twelve hours sail from Aruba, and was on
his march up the country, being daily joined by the
Spaniards ; and that he had several skirmishes with
the Government troops, in all of which be was
successful.
It will be seen under the head of Court News,
that Parliament is to be prorogued from the 29th

day next.
The Atlas, of 74 guns, which sailed with the Ex-
pedition for the Mediterranean, under convoy of the

morning. She was obliged to come back in con.
sequence of having lost her maintop-mast in a se.
vete gale, on the night between Thursday and Fri-
day, its lat. 48. long. 11. 90 W. The weather had
moderated when she parted. The transports rode
it nut very well ; several of the merchant ships were
crippled ; but the whole proceeded for their desti-
nation.
The transports, with the 40th regiment on board,
supposed to be a part of the reinforcement destined
for Buenos Ayres, are still in Plymouth Sound.
Yesterday a Court of Direaors was held at the
East-India House, when the following Commanders

A letter from Falmouth, dated the sth instant,
announces the receipt of a letter from Penzance,
stating, that a report prevailed there of the capture
of a Prench ship of the line, and a frigate. The
letter does not state any authority for this report.
It was strongly reported en Tuesday, that the Bri-
tish troops had made themselves masters of Gaeta
not long after its surrender to the French. This,

been revolved, but which we shall be extremely
happy to confirm.
