Copy of a Dispatch from the Earl of Lauderdale to Mr.
Secretary Fox, dated P.ris, August 16, 1206 —Received
August 19.
SIR, Pant, Anton 16,1806. I
The Note to the Plenipotentiaries of the French Govern•
mein, dated the I Ith, of which a copy (marked F, wa. sent in
my Dispatch of the 11th insrant, was delivered early in tle
morning of Ilia 12th, as you will see from the incloied Receipt
(marked A.)
No answer having been received, it was thought proper, on
the lath, to send to his Excellency the Mini.ter for Forel,'
Affairs, a Letter, of which a copy is also inclosed (marked B.)
No answer to the official Note transmitted to the Plenipo-
tentiaries of the Fiends Government oil the morning of the
Igtrs, has yet been given; and General Clarke, upon whom
Lord Yarmouth sod Lwaited this morning, merely for the pa•-
pose of thewitse hint a mark of attention, informed us, that it
was in the pustestion of the Emperor, who had not as yet srg
nified hi. pleasure on the sulnra.
At one e'cliick we received a Note from M. Talleyrand
(marked C), and neatly at the same time another (marked 0),
from General Clarke.
Copies of both of these are herewith transmitted.
I think ,it evident trout whin General Clark. up, that no
communication will be made for two days.
There is, perhaps, nothing sufficiently important to authorise
my sending a Courier Indeed, my principal motive fur doing
to, is to quiet tire anxiety which you naturally feel from receiv-
ing no information for so many days, concerning the state of a
transaction to important in its comeouenem

Copy of a NOW fmm the Earls of Lauderdale and Yarmouth to
M. T4neyrand, dated Atty.'s% 14, 1806
SIR, Paris, August 14, 1906.-8 o'Clock, p.m.
We thtek it our duty to aecriliiit your Excellency, that
early in the morning of the 12th instals., we transmitted to their
Excellencies the French Plruipotentiaties, a Note in answer

to that of their Excellencies received on the 11th MM. In this
sumer, we endeavoured again to set forth the points which
appeared to us to rapine, in some torso or other, a previous
explanation, to aught:r ise us, in conformity to oar or.truct tuns,
to pursue the present Negociation.
The %ileum of their Excellencies the Plenipotentiaries in
this respect, gives us reason to presume, that we must no.,
at the present moment, expel such an explanation 1.4 their

!tart.
Impressed with this ides, we desire to put an end to the
general eoneOation of both nations, considering toe slight airs
pearance there is of seeing it realised. We feel that the de-
mand which we make, under such circumstances, of passports
for our return, may be susceptible of interpretations of a nap
titre to maid the happy moment when the views of the French
G.ntitrnmens shall approach nearer to those which at had been
supposed to entertain. It is in order to prevent the possibtlity
of such a mirontermetatidis, that we think it incumbent on its
to assure your Excellency, that a step which would have the
rife@ of causing any obstacle to the renewal of the Revela-
tion, would be very far hum our intention, though, from the
reasons which we have di-tailed, we find otrlselves oblged to
put an end to our mission.
It only remains for us to assure your Excellency, that if,
fortunately fur both nations, it should happen that we have
been mistaken in the inference which we have drawn from
the silence of the French Plepipoteittiarim, we will wait dur-
ing a reasonable tune fur the explanations which their Excel-
lencies may have to communicate to us. In order, however,
to prevent the repetition of a demand, as painful for us to
make, as it would be for your Excellency to receive, in case the
Negotiations should not have a favourable issue, wd request
you to furnish with the necessary passports fur es and out
suite, to be wade use of according to eircumslances.
We have the honour to renew to your Excellency*. assur-
ances of our higli consideration.

SIR, Pam% August 17. 1806.
I .eke the opportunity of. Lord Yaiannoth's return to Eay.
land, to inform you, tier, in cousiluence of Ms Maj•-sty',
pleasure. signihrd in your Dispat:h of the 14th instant, I this
morning wrote to his Ence"teint hue Militst-v Mr Foreign ay„
far., stating to him, that Lo d aromtith had Hte Majesty's
permission to return to Engle d and that H s Majesty had
Men; griciously pleased. iu the eve.it o: the Ne;•ociacisn
proceeding, to confine the future management of it rattly
to me."
About eleven o'clock, M de Channaagny and General
Clarke ptid rasa visit of ceremony; Lord Ya•rnouth Itippened
to be with me at that time ; and we lomat-tied to them the
change that hart taken lilacs, and theived them the Nor*
which I was just about to dispatch, and a copy of which Is
Inclosed.
The object of the visit was merely to ask the itenipriten!
darns. and the Gentlemen attached to the snission,ta dune
with M. de Champagny to-morrow.
Nothing whatever was raid that related to th, Negotiation,
and I believe no answer will be given either to the Note of the
11th, or to the Note sent to lie Minister for Foreign Affairs
on the 14th, till the Eminerit's return from Rambustillet,,
which. they informed wit to-don' was uncertain. Ike mode
which
in 1 have mentioned to the Minister for Foreign Affa,rs,
Ilia Majesty's permission to DIM Yarmouth to return to Eng.
land, seemed to me calculated to afford as little opportunity a
ponible to the French Government to cavil about a change of
form in the mission.

I think it proper to add, that io doing •hia, every facility
was afforded by Lord Yarmouth, who, in the handsomest
manner, desired me on this, as on other occasions, to
der only what I thought most advantageous for the pubiie
service. 1 Live the honour to be, Sir. Re
LAUDERDALE.
