In out Paper of Monday last, we gave a sketch
of a pamphlet, purporting to be an account of the
rise, progress, and termination of the late nego7
ciation with France. Upon reference to the obser-
vation with which we introduced our sketch of it,
our reatiers will find, that we entertained doubts of
its official authority ; and were only led to suppose
the work had the sanEtion of Government, in con-
sequence of its giving particular passages as en.
tradts, copied, verbatim, from the original do-
cuments. Some of the Papers of yesterday,
avowedly ministerial, have assured their readers,
" from authority," that the said Pamphlet has
not, in any way, received the sanftion of Go-
vernment, and was not. written with the know-
ledge of any of the Member; ;r Achninistra-
esa." One of the papers alluded to, goes far.
tiler, and considers the Pamphlet as written in hosti-
lity t. Government, and with a view to incense the
Emperor of Russia against England, as it diretily
charges, that M. D'OuIRIL had full powers to sign
the Treaty with France, which the Eurstoe re-
fused to ratify. _

The contraband spirits seised and lodged in the

Hamiltrgh on the 2U hi ulk. readied Lond. n
op Monday. After a fatiguing passage of ten days,
eighteen arrivel in a collier at Yarmouth, almost
worn nut with the hardships they had experienced ;
fee having hut a scanty portion of salted provisions
no board, they had lived principally on damaged itis-
euk and had water. A few hours previous to their
.riscap,,, a body of Frerch troops was put on board
• vessel, to go in pure" it of a barge, which had some
property on board, st.siie4led to he English. It is
isot the opinion of these Gentlemen that any of the
'ersons detained .t Hamburgh will be sent to
.Yerdun. The ' tench troops at liamburgh, they
say. behaved Aith more pinpriety than their gere-
ral charatter had led the inhabitants to rap ft ;
! but still their conduit was outrageous, and several
of them had beeri shot by order of their °Emirs. A

hl.. N. the Gentleman Who was wounded in the
left breast in a duel with an Irish Gentleman on
Wednesday se'nnight, at Waltham Grove, the par-
ticulars of which have appeared, died on 'I borstal,
last. The hall was not curetted until three days
after the duel had taken place, and Mr. N. was con-
sidered in a fair way of doing well; but a sudden
alteration took place, two days previous to his
death. A Coroner's Jury sat on the body, and,
from the testimony adduced, it appealed that the
deceased had sent three challenges to his antagonist,
the last of which gave him the choice of a meeting
or a horsewhipping. The altercation originated in
consequence of the survivor having prevailed upon
the niece of the deceased to elope with, and marry

bim.
The Imperial Realm of Britain seems the only
remaining spot of liberty, where independence is se-
cure, and ',Welt the destructive Power of the Cor-
sican Tyrant cannot teach. That our sea-girt Isles
will, in consequence, immediately he resorted to, as
an Asylum, by multitudes of Continertal Sufferers,
is not to be doubted; and that many of them will
devote a trifle, from the wreck of their t:rtunes, to

cur present stealth-giving Lottery, in hopes of
mending their shattered nuances, is pretty certain.
This is another motive why Adventurert, on our
l' own vide of the water, should lose no time in naakir.g
their purchases.
