appears from these and the previous part, which we
gave yesterday, that the negotiation, which com-

the 9th of August, by Lord Y R MORIN, doting
the whole of which interval, his Lordship ur.i-
forrnly insisted upon the rai pa.ideti:, as the basis,
and TALLRYCAND bad uniformly acceded to it.
The negotiation bad been hitherto carried on err-
-1344 ; but the moment the Earl of LAUDERDALE
arrived in Paris, and insisted the principal topics
should be discussed in owes, the French Minister
finding this would be a restraint upon his shufll;ng
and tergiversation, objcaed to this mode ; declared,
that nothing was farther from the intention of Bona-
r•STll than to consent to the ati possidistis as a basis,
end &eland all the telAfOrtllttl that bad ever paned
between him and the Earl of 1all)1014 IN "politic•!
