LON OON,
WEDNESDAY, 14ovsmatu 29.

We have been favoured with the following in-

wresting extra& from a letter of a Neutral Agent in
France to one of his countrymen in London, dated
Paris, Nov. 10 :—" As the wish fora peace is com-
mon everywhere in France, not only among the
principal sufferers frum the war, the merchants and
manufadurers, but even among the soldiers, tired
as much of the fatigues of their encampments, as of
a defensive warfare, which promises few, it any
opportunities either to gather laurels, or collet or
extort plunder; the Agents of Government and
Pol ce Spies circulate repeated reports of the pacific
intentions of the Emperor of the FRENCH, who,
they pretend, has gone so far as even to postpone,
several times, the day of his coronation, in hope of
seeing, even by great sacrifices, En:rland tired If
ibodshed, and an English Ambassador present at
this memorable ceremony. At last, to gain the
admiration of the lovers of peace, or to silence the
clamours of the peace fa lion, the pretended pro-
posals of Bow Ar.Aas E. both to Austria and Prussia,
to become mediators between France, on one side,

and England and Russia, on the other, arc handed
about both in the diplomatic unlit, and popular
circles and societies. They are ton long to be
copied into a letter, but !;eiv,_•', th, it alto it a crsia-
tie" lestibtiet, their langna::e, at least in the be-
ginning, so far from being pacific or moderate, is
hostile and icon ilous. The former calumnies against
England, and abusive reproaches against Russia,
are repeated in a prelimin:try political discussion on
the means a restoring the lost balance of power,
which England, by her conquests in India, and
Russia, by her conquests in the Turkish Empire, are
said to have broken, and by it forced France, for
self•preservation, to extend her frontiers, and to
augment her military power. No mention is made

either of the partition of Poland, or the org raised
usurpations of France in Italy and Germany. Bo-
ll* r A ars there repeats the old proposal for a con-
gress for pacificatiors, which, it will not be the fault
of France, should it not afterwards be changed into

a conservative congress if. perpetual peace. Before
the members of this congress meet, the preliminaries
between the present belligerent or disunited parties
ate to be signed according to the •folluwing plan,
proposed by France:-
Ist, France coneents to evacuate the k Ira "n' of Naples :icd
Firuka, the ripe! Territory, and the It optiblirs of I.lturis,
Helvetia, and Itatiria, together with the F.lethirite Ilanover,
and all plares rte.:nines! by her on the right bank .if the Rhine.
'2,1, England consent. to re.tor • all her cii nitwit+ iu the
West lndie., and to give up Mali- t...) the King of Sardinia, as
• pert of tit • lode/ft...tie, deviated ?hi. Sovereign
3d. The recesinil:r of the 'lila! 1111Ities to Hi. Sardinian Mil-
ieuy are to be taken (ruin tne kingdom of Etruria, round
Sienna.
4th Franea promises in return to give up to His Etrurian

Majesty the Duchies ci ?arm* and PLiilllllleC.
Sth. Russia is to evacuate the S,ren Wands, and all other
places occupied Icy ner tronps it) the Mediterranean. Ths
Seven Wands arc in future tu be under the exclusive protec-
tion of the Ouornan Porte.

6th. The differences between Spain and England, as well as

awe between R uvtia and Rome, are to Lc settled ill an amica-
ble aiNtlllief iniinerhately, without the interference of the

Congress, aocurdins to the decision of the respective me-
diators.
711.. The differences between Spout and America are to be
rated by the sole mediation of the Emperor of the French.
sth. The Emperor of Germany and Au>tria, and the Knit
Prussia, are by all parties acknowledged as mediators.
she Louse, dip-% a pw, to reaped

the independence of those kinmlnms, states, and repub•
lice, evacuated by her troops, in consequence of the present
peace.
10th. As France allows the late Grand Master of Malta, Ba-
ron Hompech, an annuity of 500,000 Imes (12,0001 ), Eng-
land is to assign and pay an equal and annual sum to the pre-
sent Grand Master, who resigns his sovereignty over the island
of Malta to the King of Sardinia, whose heirs or desLendairti
are fur the future to be hereditary Grand Masters of the Maltese
Order.

" R-sides the above, the plan contains five ether
long articles; the 11th concerns the respeetive eva-
cuations and disarmaments, &c. In the 12th Arti-
cle, England is to consent, for many reasons men-
tioned at full length, that the mediators, who are
entrusted to regulate the political balance of power,
may, at the same time, fix some rules for restoring
a commercial balance of trade. In the 13th, Rus-
sia and England, in return for being permitted to
have deputies at a Congress, where the affairs of
Italy and Germany are regulated, to which both
are said to be strangers, to permit the mediators to
listen to the complaints of the Princes of Persia, as
well as to those of the native Princes in India. In
the 14th Article, the necessity is agreed to, of
making a new constitution, not only for the Ger-
man empire, but for the Turkish empire ; the obe-
dience of which is to be enforced even by the ar-
mies of the mediators.' The 15th and last Article
fixes the number of deputies and of votes, and the
city of Utrecht as the place waste the Congress is
to be held."

The writer finishes by saying, "that, thongb this
pretended plan for a pacification is handed about,
and permitted to be copied even in coffee-houses at
Paris, all the Editors of newspapers have been prohi-
bited from publishing it. The Editor of the Gazette
de Frazee was sent for four days to the Temple, be-
cause the police was informed by its spies at his
printing-office, that he intended to insert the out-
lines of it in his paper of the 4th inst. which was
stopped. The re.son of this prohibition is supposed
to be the little attention or faith paid in France to
the contents of newspapers ; whilst every thing
circulated, as with a kind of secrecy, is read and
believed with avidity."

Ve yesterday announced an attempt, by a French
Banditti, to seize Messrs. 'THORNTON and PARISH,
at their villa, in the Danish territory, upon the
banks of the Elbe. Our account is fully confirmed
by letters from these Gentlemen to their friends in
London. Mr. THORNTON su,,poses, however, that
this outrage was not a political concern, but a pri-
vate speculation of the marauders to extort
money, as he has a banking-house at Paris, under
the firm of Turnip:Tom and Powr.t., and the latter
gentleman remained unmolested in that city when
the last letters for Hamburgh left France. Should
Mr. THORNS os's suspicion be well founded, it is
evident that not a man of property can be safe upon
the Right Bank of the Elbe, as long as the French
marauders occupy the Left.

We are concerned to announce the loss of the
Venerable, of 74 guns, Capt. Hurry s, on Saturday
night, in Tot bay. The Venerable was the late Lord
Duple AN'S ship in the glorious engagement off Cam-
perdown, and bore the brunt of the battle upon
that memorable day. She is the first man of war
lost in Torbay within these forty years. The parti-
cubit will be found under the proper head.

Yesterday, about two o'clock, the Russ' AN and
SP A NtS9 Am a ASS A DORS transacted business At Lord
klaalowav's Ofike.

It is reported that Government hay. determined
to appoint immediately another Cha,ge d'ktitires to
the Circle of Lower Saxony, in the room of Sir
GIORGI RUNIROI.D.

Mr. PARISH, whom the French marauders at-
tempted to seize, at his villa, cm the Danish ter-
ritory, near Hambitrgh, is a Scordiman by birth,
and was formerly the American Consul General to
the Rinse Towns. He was the principal in a very re-
spe.lable commercial house at Hamburgh, hut re-
tired from trade in 1197, with a large fortnne.
The Jane, HENDERSON, from Petershurgh, for
Liverpool, has put into Copenhagen, leaky.
Notwithstanding it blew a very strong gale upon
the Kentish Coast on Saturday night, all the gun
brigs that could be possibly got out, received orders
to proceed immediately to their usual station off
Boulogne.
Stricit orders have been again issued from the
Custom-House to orevent any vessels coming up
the River, os passengers landing, frbm Gibraltar,
or the infeCted ports within the Straits, without re-
maining to perform a rigid quarantine
The Deputation which Bon
the Pops, left Paris on the 3d, and Lyons on the
7th instant. It travelled in sixteen carriages, drawn
each by six horses.
A Morning print of y?rtcrday pretends, with its
usual sagacity, that the note presented at Vienna on
the 7th of November, by the ENGLISH and R ussi AN
AMBASSADORS, related Addy to the seizure of Sir G.
Romeo, D. This outrage, which occurred on the
24th OCtotser, could hardly be known at St. Peters-
burgh on the 7th of November, much leis could
the Recra A AMBASSADOR to the Emperor of GER.
MAN Y have received any instrus2ions how to eel up-
on this unforeseen emergency; and, without such in-
struCtions or orders, in a case not pressing, he could,
according to diplomatic rules, not take upon himself
to express an opinion which might be diffet cut from
that of his Sovereign.

ORIGINAL POEMS:
Ey THOMAS GREEN jESSENDEN,

TILE MORNING.

Behold, my fair, the ruddy morn
Anticipate the day ;
Whit hoatiteinis tints the sky adorn,
And gild the azure way !
The sombre inists, which gloanly night
Ilad pawed iii the vale,
Are tv.or,le aloft, and wing their flight
B-fore the f I ' g gale.
Now chalig'd to clouds of varied hue,
In airy maze they d tnc. ;
Now sweep athwart the welkin blue,
And gam the gay expanse.
The plumy tenant of the grove
Is Iser,li'd on yoncLr spay,
And serenades his 'inlet we
With sweetest roundolay.

To taste the pleasures of the morn
b bk.w without alloy,
Though FashisioN drowsy rot'iies scorn
T 4 quaff the cup of joy.
hut rite, my hear'nly charmer, rite
To greet the early ray,
And let toy 'rem ANIS f A.ll eyes
Add lustre to the day.
