Copy of a Note ',Weasel to Lords Lauderdale and Yarmouth,

1516+
"'faro Undersigned Minister for Foreign Affairs
has the honour to transmit to their Excellencici,
Lied Lauderdale and Lord Yat mouth, Ministers
Plen4prtent:st y of His Majesty the King of England,
the it swot t they required tar a messenger. He re.
grets that the suspension of business, which takes
place in the offices on Sunday, did net allow him to
send it sooner. As to the p.raiports which they have
applied for themselves, the Undersigned flatters
hi Itself that they will cons:rue his delay in sending
them, in the way molt natural and likely to obviate
any ,oPt of complaint en their past. The Undersigned
will never dread being responsible for any delays,
the objea of which is to continue for a few days the
homes o 4 pacifying two great Powers, and of put-
ting an end to the miseries of War in all parts of the
wo-id. 'the Undersigned entreats their Excellen-
cies to accept, &c.
"CH. M. TALLEYR AND, Prince of Benevento."
(No 22.)

" The Under igned Plenipotentiaries of his Bri-
tannic Majesty, would not have delayed answering
the note of the It th August, transmi ted to them on
tne trot of their Exc•llencies the Plenipotentiaries
of the French Government, but the repeated ap-
plications which they made to his Excellency the
Min.sters for the Exterior, for passports for their
messenger, having remained without an answer,
etry conceived it to be their duty previously to is-
c o ails, whether they Were to be a:lowed to enjoy a
ftee a .el uninterrupted communication with their
Court, such as has always been maintained, in similar
eases. in all the Governments of Europe.
o The explanation which the Undersigned have
r ce.ved on the part of his Excellency the Minister
Eoteign Affairs, induces them to hope, that on
no canon whatever a similar delay will take
pI cc. Atter having duly considered the Note of
then Excellencies, the Undersigned perceive that
the British Government. tar from assuming to itself
to require from the French Gavel nment whatever
grestitarions it may think proper, without feeling it-
self under any obligatton co restore any thing to
France, has never showed any other inclination than
to treat with the French Government on the basis
proposed to it by France itself, such as it was ex-
pressed in the Note of Lord Lauderdale, namely,
• to treat generally upon the principle of the uti pos.
sotetis, which was striflly to be adhered to, except in
the ear. of Hanover, which it W. 45 proposed to ac-
cede wholly to His Britannic Mjae.ty.'

quences al ices necessarily flow from this principle,

instant, between the French Plenipotentiaries and the

doubt, that the proposition thus declared was per-

course, the Undersigned can only repeat,
that agreeable to the instruatons of their Govern-
stem, t;iey cannot do otherwise than insist upon the
seen moon of this principle as a preliminary. It is
only; upon this condition that they have orders to
continue the uegociation.
" As soon as exis principib shall be acceded to,
the Undersigned wil! be ready to commence the dis-
cuss:tin of t'e other points indicated in the letter of
Lord Lauderdale.
" The Und-rsigned have only to add, that if the
French Government manifest an inclination to keep
to the proposition. such as His Britannic Majesty
supposes it tohave been made by the French Govern-
ment, they will consider it as one of the most fortu-
nate circumstances—as a circuoistance which, ac-
cording to the espression of Mr. Fox, cited by their
ffreellenciee, holds out a promise, • of a peace ho-
trtarable for both nations, and of a natuie, at the
same time, to insure the permanent tranquillity of

" SIR, -.0 fir* Almost 14, 1806, Teo P kr.
" We think it necessary to acinaint your Excel-
lency. that at an early hour in the morning of the
12th inst. we transmitted to their Excellencies the
French Plenipotentiaries, a note in answer to one
received from their Egeellencies on the II th of the
same iumth. In this answer we endeavoured to
point out a second time the subject which appeared
to us to require, under some kind of form, a pre-
vious explanation. to enable us, in conformity with
our instrudions, to proceed in the present negoeia-
lion.
" The silence of their Excellencies the French Ple-
nipotentiaries on this sublet}, affords us room to
suppose. jhat at the present moment, we are not to
expee such an explanation psi their part.
" (r is from this consideration, thee we feel an anx-
ious desire to put an end to the general expedations of
both conotries, where there is so little probability of
their ben?, reaiised. We are aware that the appli.
cation which we have made, under these circuna-
mantles. for pauports, to enable us to return to Eng-
land, .mly admit a amstrudion calculated to defer
that happy moment, when the views of the French
Government will he drawn more closely to those
which it was. sup,:osed to entertain. To destroy
the possi'ai:ity of such inconvenience, we feel it our
duty to easure your Excellency, that any proceeding
Which'sball tend to obstrud the renewal of the nego-
tiation, 'will; op that account, be contrary to our in-
tentions; although, for the reasons we have men-
tioned, we feel ourselves under the necessity of put-
ting an end to our mission.
" It only remains for us to assure your Excellen-
cy. that if, fur the happiness of the too nations, we
should chance to be deceived in the inferences which
we have made from the silence of the French Pie.

"The Undersigned Minister Plenipotentiary of
His Britannic Majesty finds himself under the ne-
cessity et rerninding his Excellency the Minister for
Foreign Affairs.
" lit. That on the morning of the 12th, a Note,
signed by the Undetsigned sod Lord Yarmouth, of
the date of the 116, was transmitted to his Excel-
lency General Clarke, in which the persons urdei-
signed d:.cla-ed, that the British Government, tar
from presuming to 'sae from the French Gavel it-
ment snch restitutions as it might think proper, with-
out being under as obligation to make any restitution
to France, was never aCluated by any other wish than
to treat with the French Government upon the basis
proposed by France, such as it Was declared in Lord
Lauderdale's Note, viz. to treat generally upon the
basis of the sal pnsidetts. which was strietly to be ad-
hered to except in the case of Hanover, which it
was proposed should be fully restored to his Bri-
tannic Majesty. That, were it even possible to be
mistaken as to the consequences necessarily Bowing
from this principle, the personal discussions which
took place on the 9th instant, between the French
Plenipotentiaries, and the Undersigned, did not
leave a doubt remaining that the proposition so
made was perfe&ly understood by the,e Plenipo-
tentiaries, and that in consequence the Undersigned
had only to repeat, that, conformable to the in-
strutnions of their Government, they could not do
otherwise than insist upon The previous acknow-
ledgment of this principle; and that it was upon
this condition only that they would be allowed to
continue the negociatien."
" 2d. That on the 14th instant, the Undersigned,
conjointly with Lend Yarmouth, had the honour to
inform his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, in writing, that the silence of their Excellen-
cies the French Plenipotentiaries, on the subjeCt of

the note of the 11 ifs instant, gave room for suppos-
ing, that at the present moment they were not to
expel an explanation, such as they required in their
note of the 11th, which would authorise the Under-
signed to proceed with the asgociation, agreeably
to their instructions.
•• That, from this consideration, they felt an
anxiety re put an end to the general expectation of
both nations, seeing there was so little appearance
of its being realised. That they were swats that
an application for passports, under such circum-
stances, to enable them to return, might be suscep-
tible of construftions, of a nature to defer that happy
moment, when the viewsof the French Government
would be drawn closer to those which it was sup-
posed to entertain. That to prevent the possibility
of such an inconvenience, they felt it to be their
duty to declare, • that any proceeding, the objeft of
which should be to obstruct the renewal of the ne-
gociarion, would, for that very roason, be contrary
to their Intentions, although for the reasons before-
mentioned, they found themselves obliged to put an
end to their mission.'
" The Undersigned. perceiving that no answer
was given to these communications, presuceekohat
this delay might be the result of a temper favour-
able to the progress of the negnciation, and that he
would at last be recompensed by an answer accord-
. ing to his manner of considering it. Whoa be per-,
ceived that none was forthcoming, he still pursued
that line of conduct which must have incontestibly
evinced the sincerity of the inclination he had ex-
pressed, to receive such explanations as amid put
It in his power to renew the ()Netts of his mission.
•• But if on the 14th inst. the Undersigned, in
conjnoCtion with Lord Yarmouth, saw himself under
the necessity to declare to his Excellency the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, his apprehensions (in con-
sequence of the silence of the French Plenipoten-
tiaries) that no answer would be given on this sub-
jeEt ; and moreover, if at the period when they
found themselves obliged to declare the necessity
under which they were, in obedience to the orders
of their Sovereign, to demand passports, the Under.
signed has no °cession to remark to his Excellency
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, how imperimsly
the new delays, since arisen, prescribe it to the Un-
dersigned to renew immediately his demand.
•• At the same time, the Undersigned feels it or.
cesa, y to add, that not being able to persuade him-
self that in case the answer should not be favourable,
his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
would defer for an long a time the adoption of the
only alternative, the ttansrnission of passports, he
does not wholly forego, even at this moment, the
expedlation of the renewal of the proposition, such
as the Ministess of His Britannic Majesty conceived
to have been mode by the French Government, be-
cause it is only by these means that the hopes of the
two nations can he realized.

" Should these h pet even be disappointed, ttie
Undersigned, will paver regret s delay which has
afforded him an npportunity of proving, in the in ),t
