LON DON,
SATURDAY. Ocrone■ 27.

A few days ago we laid before our readers a copy
pf the four specific demands made by the Russian
Ambassador before he quitted Paris. We now
give the entire document of which they constituted
a part, and also a setwnd note, in which, not receiv-
ing a satisfactory answer, he demanded his pass-
ports. The whole diplomatic correspondence be-
tween the two Governments, we understand, is
now preparing for publication at St. Petersburgh,
and we have made arrangements to procure it
by the earliest opportunity. In the mean time,
the perusal of these two important State Pa-
pers, though only a small part, and their sub-
stance cannot be considered perfeistly new, will
be re with interest. They may be consid Ted
as an irdi•Rment against the great culprit pt the
world, for his crimes and ()fences, • not only against
Russia, the prosecutor in the cause, but against all
the rest of the Continent. If we may judge. from
the num's.:r of counts which it contains, never was
State Criminal arraigned before the public tribunal
of Europe, covered with so many crimes, and who
has violated the laws of nations in so many flagrant
instances. The Indiament contains the following

counts :
Evssive aid oT-ntiv, answers to the just complaints of
Violation of the inilep-adalce of the German empire, of
which Nns.o is a gu..•sntee.
The ref 04.41 of t.te of Rth.ia to mediate between Eng-
land ahi Vtaiice.

NVhile we are astonished at the patience with
which Russia, a great, powerful, and magnanimous
Empire, has endured such a mass of insult, injury,
and injustice, from a Corsican Upstart; while we
admire the generous feeling with which she urges
her wrings, and applaud the candour and modera-
tion with which she lays her guilty condua before
the world; we cannot but regret that her patience
has beer, so exemplary, and that the sword of the
law has been so Ling suspended over the head of
the delinquent. With nations, as with individuals,
if resentment does net follow insult, new insults and
provocations may be expelled ; patience is impru-
dence, and impunity becomes an incentive to
crime. In February, Itlo2, Rosi AAAAA violated
his engagements with Russia, by proclaiming him-
self President of the Italian Republic, without the
privity and consent of the Russian Eurasian. Had
Russia then assumed her present dignified attitude ;
had she then stood, as she now presents herself,
4, with the helmet on her head, and the spear in its
rest ," had she then animated the trembling Conti-
nent with her warlike and encouraging voice, what
crimes would have been prevented, what insults
would have been avoided, what a mass of
injustice, suffering, and sorrow, would never
have been endured.--Europe might. have been
in peace, Roe ea re a lirst Consul, the Duke of
ENGHIEN alive, the King of Saitnista indemni-
fied; Naples, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Hol-
land, and Hanover, would not now be suffering
plunder and proscription, under the unprincipled
tyranny of France. A paper of yesterday, once die
obsequious slave of Mr. Pitt. but now a whipper-
in to the JacobiA Print, alluding to the ahnvi: sub-
jea, with a degree of presumption only to be equal-
led by its stupidity, boasts of its superior sources
of Foreign intelligence. It would have ill become
us for many months past, during which, we have
been the first to announce every important change
upon the Continent, to be daily vaunting our own
merit, and insoleetly presuming, that the public
had not discernment enough to perceive our
superiority. Bat, as the print in question dares to
deny our right, we must go into an account with it.
What paper, then, we ask, first announced the.pre-
tended conspiracy against BONAPARTE, by Picnic-
ace, Moet•e, &c. and the murder and all its
horrid details of the Duke of Esionuen ? What

paper Arse publi,!led the impreuioti Made by th
barbarous aa upon the EISPEROR of RUSSIA, and
the first pointed Russian note to the Diet of Ra.
tisbon, upon the subjeil of tliat foul offence? What
paper first declared Bow &Patera's attempt to as.
sume aft Imperial diadem, and of, the KING of the
ROMANS to follow the revolutionary example, By
dubbing himself Emperor of Austria ? Where
did the public first read the co6spiracy to poison
Louis the.XVIIIth, at Warsaw ? ‘Vliat paper first
stated the intrigues of France, through the medium
of Prussia, to induce the Bourbon' to relinquish their
right to the throne of France ? Who first published
the treatment of the SwEnts.l A!LSASSADO% at Pa-
ris, his recall, and the spirited behaviour of the ge-
serous and brave Gusravos ? But we will not clic.
gust our readers with a recapitulation of all o,tr
advantages over the pony, sickly print is question.
A complete detail would be a history of the contents
of 'Dia BRITISH Passe.

We have received Paris Papers to the 21st, ant
Dutch Papers to the 21th. They add very little to
our previous stock of foreign intelligence. They
say that Boa •P A arc's coronation is postponed fioo
the 9th to the I I th of November, and that the Leg:4-
lative Body is convened to be present at it on t.
22d. The ceremony is certainly postponed, but tht..e
appears to be a mistake in the dates. BoaaPatic
is to meet the Pore at Fontaiableau, on his way
to Paris.

His Royal Ilighnesi the Duke of in Eltt Y received
yesterday a letter with the Gottenburgh Mail, irons
his Royal Father, MONSIEUR, dated Calmar, the
14th inst. in which he was informed, that consider-
ing the advanced state of the season, and the busi.
ness that caused His Majesty Loess XVIII. to de-
sire Motes' EUR'S presence in Sweden, being fini.hed,
His Royal Highness intended to be at Gottenburgh
about the 22d or 24:11, to embark again for England.
On the gth, the Swedish Chancellor, Count Ds FER.
see I the Russian Chamberlain,Count Sot. r sto ;
and the Danish Chamberlain, Baron de Bt.° me, were
introduced by the Swedish Governor to His Most
Christian Majesty, the King of Fa•mc e, and to
Their Royal Highnesses, Moss:Rua and the Duke
of Amoouteme. On the 12th, after the arrival hi
a Russian Courier, Moustaux fixed the day for hi
departure. The same day, Baron de IlLome, ap-
pointed Ambassador by-the King of DZIOSI Aag to
the Emperor of Russr A, took leave of Louis XVIII.
and the Bouasom Famous, and continued his
jou; ney for St. Petersburgh. A letter from Calmat.
of the 13th, states. " that the stay of the King of
Fit ANC E in Sweden will not be so long as was el.
pened, being invited, both by the King of Prassis
and the Emperor of Rossi A, to return to Warsaw;
as his residence there, in the present circumstances,
would be useful both for his own and his family's
interest; and was, besides, required by political
considerations." This caused our correspondent to
suppose, that, should BONA/acre consent to restore
the independence of Italy,' Holland, and Switzer-',
land; Austria, Russia, and Prussia, may perhaps
agree to establish the Butiaaors hereditary Kings
of Poland.

Yesterday a Court of Dire ton was held at the
Fast-India House, which adjourned at an early

Some enquiry, we understand, has been inst;:rx-
ed at Portsmouth, intifithe charge made by a spF
ish Officer of La Pose, .of some people 11:1/1"g
robbed him of a quantity of dollars,
which has
concluded to the honour and integrity of our brave
tars. It appeared, that a 52-pound shot did coax;derable mischief in one of the Officer's cabins, an 4
made the Spoairh to fly about, but it could not b.:
pr. red that any loss was experienced aficr the Bat!"'
lish took possession of the ship.
