order. The latest intelligence from Loadon men.

whirls have placed his lite out of danger, but which
will oblige him to remain quiet for some time."
A more Jacohinical article than the above never
issued from the Fre,ich press. It is not written to
answer one, but a vat hey of purposes, differing only
in degrees of deceit and perfidy. Among these,
the mode in which Mr. Fox's name is introduced,
deserves, perhaps, the fit ct notice. The negociation
is not, as the Conetitteina of England taught us to
ezp •et. a proceed nig between the two Gcvernments ;
it is made to attach personally to Mr. Fox ; and, for
his media es to prosecute it oithout him, '
we are given to understand, would be as
I foolish, as an attempt to play the tragedy- of ,
(Limed, without the Prinrr of Denmnrk. Mr. Fox,
it we may judge from his professed policy, would
be likely ta sacrifice more to Peace than any other
member of Administration. The Moniker might,
therefore, have done ample justice to his pacific
cheraeter and spirit, by admitting with us, that his
death would be unfarcurable to the attainment of
that ohjeB. But the Monaca,. asserts that it would
be decisive.—The aka of this treacherous compli-
. meat to Mr. Fax. is, to excite jealousy in the British
Cabinet, to reps esent it as divided and distracted by
adverse aad contending principles and opinions. It
affefts to give a !Ist of the Cabinet Ministers friendly
to peace; but, in tn.:: :is!, Lord GICNVILI.z's name
is onottel. is hen we cans,,irr the prominent situ-
' ation of Lor.! e'IIENVILLB in the present Ministry,
1' his rank, his weight, wad his talents,we are bound to
conclude that the omission is intentional. The Lc
don Carrier has been, for some time, working in the
same way to excite jealousy and discontent in the
Cabinet, and to misrepresent and lessen it in the
eyes of the people. It is not extraordinary that
the Monieear should agree with that incorrigible
Jacobin Print. This false reasoning of the Ms-
nitratr is further aggravated by a misrepresent-
ation of the fate. We cued, long before the
departure of the Earl of L•LOCRD•LC, that the
Negociation or Correspondence bad proceeded
much farther than any of our Contemporaries would
admit. We believe also that Mr. Fox performed
the duties of his office until his disorder came to a
crisis ; and we stated, in a former Paper, that they
have been since discharged by Viscount Howie
and Lord Genie met. Mr. Fox's illness
has not delayed the transmission of a dispatch
or answer. for an hour. The business of the
Foreign Office has proceeded with the same
a/betty as if Mr. Fox were in perfed health ; and
the Moniker, in complaining that it has, in conse-
quence, proceeded slowly, can only mean to throw
an imputation upon. those who discharged the
funetions of the office during the time of Mr. Fox's
extreme illness. With this view of the article in
the Monition-. we are disposed to regard it as little
short of a declaration that the negoeiation is on
the eve of being broken off. The hopes of peace
have been for some time declining in this country,
and if this paragraph in the official Paper of the
French Government stood alone, it would fully
justify the change that has taken place in the pub-
lic mind. But those who are in the habit of ob-
serving the mode in which that Gazette is con-
dated, will find farther cause to fear that the pa-
ragraph is only the preface to a formal declaration
of the failure of the negotiation.—The condators
of the Monitenr are excellent artists, and know how
to avatteenseelves efesll the advantages of light and
shade, and of the effea to be produced by their con-
trast.—Whenever they announce new; likely to de-
press the spirits of' the people, they study to accom-
inlay it with something cheering andeensolatory. The
battle of Aboukir, and the ei:tories of Boa APART',
in Egypt, were given in the same official paper,
sad the same principle has been pursued down to
the present moment.—Accordingly we find this
diser.uraging account of the state of the negoeia-
tion, prefaced by a gascanading bc.e,t, that all the
Powers of the Continent have, at length, bowed the
neck to BON ****** and now submit, patiently. to
eis will and pleasure. The Emperor of GtawaNV,
who is, in future, to be content with the title of Em-
eeror of Ausr as., we are told, has given his con-
:urrence to the Confederation of the Raine, and ac-
aux.vledged brother Josars King of Naples. That

intruder is also aclsnowledged by Prunia, who has
further recognised brother Louts, King of 'Lt.
A.,a, and appointed Ministers to these two re.

Surely, if all this aggrandisement of the Bo Ha.

norant of real happiness. We shall only make
