Me Toni.% Iletwame.street, February 0, 1803.
1:1 answer to your Excellency's dispatelt of January 27, re-
later to the enquiry made of you, by tie lama' Goverimoult.
on the subject of olalta. I -a., have Ito difht eel in assuring pat,
that his Majesty has entertaiued a neat sniccre ri-eare that
the Treaty of Aaniens might be executes! in a hid and ciao
',fete manlier ; hue it has not "seen possible fur him to eceisidei
this treaty as haying boat founded tot twtmeiltit"llf"r"t
from Hoots which base been iuv.trL.ds applied to ever.
other antecedent treaty or convention, namely, that they
were neptiaterl with reference to the anted ahit.: of pour.:
siou of the different Isaac., and of tee trcatie. ce putslic
etiooteernents by irtfich they wee hound at the tune of its cuti-
cle:eon; and that h that state of posseeemi, and of engage-
ment., was so materia ly altered by inc act of either n. um
parties as to affect the nature of the eiampact itself, the other
party has a right, aceordilig to thy I iw of natame, to inn:re-re
fur the purpose of ohtaining satisfaction or tainpentatiou tee
any essential thlL:rence which atieh4et • may have subsequently
made in the r rehlose situation ; that if there ever was a Cate to
which this principle might be applied with peculiar ptopriety,
it wa4 that of the late Treaty Of Peace; for the megottatiott was
eieuitieted on a basis not merely propus:& by his alajesty, but
specially agreed to ni as official note by the Freieen tsuvern-
rtent, oz. that his Majesty should keep a compensation out of
his cisnottiots for the important acquisitions of tenitory made
by Francetipoit the Cashman. This is a sudicielit reef that
the compact was understoad to have been concluded with refer-
ence to the then ex i-ttng atate of things: for the law tune of
his Nlajesta's compels-sown was to be calaulated with ref:relay
to the acquieitiolis of France at that time ; and if the interfer-
ence of the French Guverunteut in the general affairs of LW
rope, since that period; if their interpoeition with respect to
Switterlalid and illotlandov hiss,: ind:peudence eat guaranteed by
them at the time of the cenclusion o: the Treaty of Peace; it the
anneoations which hale been made to Prance in ratios quar-
ters, bet ;noir warty throe tit Italy, inure esteoicied the terrttioy
and increase d. the power of the French (Invernineta, his Ma-
jesty would be warranted, consisteetly woh the spirit of our
Treaty- of Peale, iit con sss i$ ig equi.eleats for illitrt al;o4Uillitit/1111,
at a counterpoise to the augmentation of the power of
Frai.c.. Ire Majesty, however, anxious to prevent all ground
of mound.ostanding, and cLoruus of consolidate': the gel
neral peva; of Europe,
.as far as might be in his power,
Was willing to have waived the pretetetions he might
hater a right to advance of this imbue; and as the other articles
of the Deliative Treaty have heal in a centre of execution oil
his part, so he would h :lave bete' re ady to have tarried ha° tiffeft
the true intent and i-loot of the 10th article, the execution of
which, according to its terms, had been rendered imprailticobie
by eircuinstaaccs which it teas not in his Majesty's power to
eoutmul. A communication to your Lordship would-accord-
ingly have been prepared conformably to this disposition, if the
atteutiou of his Majesty's Gov.-remora had not been aurae-tilt
by the err. extraordinary publieation of the Report of Co-
lonel Sebastiani to the First Consul. It it impossible for
his Stale ite to view this repaet in any other light than
as an official publication; for without referring particu-
larly to explanations which have been repeatedly given
upon the subject of publications in the Mollie:to, the article
iti question, a. it purports to be the report to the First Consul
of an accredited agent, as it appears to have beers signed by
Colonel Sebastian himself. and as it is pub"islied in the aba-
ci:Ll paper, with an offizial title affixed to it, must be consi
tiered as authorized by the French Government. This report
contaiitu the ntost unjustifiable insinuations and charges against
the officer who commanded his forces in Egypt, and :against
the British army in that quarter, insinuatiu.is and charges
aholhy destitute of foundation, and such as would warrant his
Majesty in demanding that satisfaction, which, on occasions of
this nature. independent powers in a state of amity have a right
to expect from ea at other. It discloses, moreover, 'hews an the
highest degree injurious to toe 'literati of his Majesty's domi-
nions, and directly lopegliant to, and utterly inconsistem with,
the spirit and le.ttor of the Treaty of Peace concl laird hetweett his
Majesty and the French Government; ausi hi: Majesty would
feel that he was aantitig in a pro Per regard to the honour of
his Crown, aid to the interests of his dominions, if be caul('
see with itidiffereoce such a system developed and avowed.
Iles Majesty cannot, therefore, regard the coaditti of the
French Geverement on various occasions since the ennclusien
of the Lietistitive Treaty, the. insinuations awl clutters cement-
ed in the report of Colonel Stematiani, and the stews which
that report disclose., without feeling it tiepeleare for him die
bawdy to d.y:are. that it will be impiesible for hint to eater let°
any further disctosion t: at;ve to Malta, unleas he ie.:tort sa-
tisfactory explain:Mu on the subjeEt of this comniunisotion.
Your Excellency /i desired to take an early apportunity
of

My Lord, Purls, Feb. 21. 1823.
My 64 dispatch, in which I gave your L welship Ana:count
et my colifervn:e wish M. da •Ixtlnyrand, was scarcsiy gone,
when I received a note from him, informing me that the F rat
Consul sitilied to converse with me, amt desired I would come
iv, him at the Thuilleries at trine o'clock. He receiver we in
his Cabinet, with tolerable cordiality, and, after talking on
different subjects for a few minutes, he desired me tu sitdown,
as be hinisef did on the other side of the tahle, and beton.
He told me, that he felt it accessary, after what had pas
ed
between rot and M. de Talleyrand,thet he shonld, in the most
clear arid authentic manner, make known his sentiments to
me in order to their being communicated to his Majesty; and
he conceived this woold be more effectually done by himself
than through any medium whatever. He said, that it was a
mutter of inanitd di.sappointment to Wan, .hat the Treaty of
Amities, instead of bning followed by cunciliatiou and friend-
ship, the natural elect, of peace, had hero productive only
ttf conhafal mid increasing jealousy and mistrust; and that
this mistrust was now avowed in such a manner as mutt bi ing
the ;mint ta an issue.
He now enuntrated the several provocations which he pre.
tended to have retstived from Eaglatiel. IL. placed in the first
line our not evacuating Slarta and Alexandria, as we were
bound to do by trial. In this he said that no consideration
on earth should make him r:lptiesee; and of the two, he had
rather see us in poisession of the Fauxboorg St. Antoine than
Malta. He then adverted to the abuse thrown ant against him
in the English public prints ; but this, lie said, he did lint w
much mg ird as that which speared in the Trelielli papers pub-
lished in Ltalifloll. This he considered as much more mis-
chievous, :ince it Was meant to excite this couAtry against
I • and his Government. He complained of slis protediten
given to Georges and others of his descriiitimi, who, instead of
being sent to Canals, as had been rupeattullv promised, were
I:truistic:l to realism is lutudioaely p4lasioded, and
