LONDON,
FRIDAY. Ftenuo.av 15.

Paris Journals to the 6th were received yesterday.
They contain the Letter lately sent by Boa*, ARTE
to His MAJESTY, and the Answer of Lord Mo.-
eaves, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
t two interesting Papers were communi-
to the Legislative Body upon the 4th inst.
by a speech from M. Stroll R.
we
of the Counsellors of State, which we have
la right to assume as the language of his Go-
vernment. The hostile charaCter of His MA-
JESTv's speech, upon the opening of the Session of
Parliament, is assigned as the cause for the publica-
tion of these papers. Lord blocs:saves answer is
contrasted with the celebrated answer of Lord
Gasavicts, and allowed to have been tolerably
favourable ; but the KING'S speech is regarded as
shutting out all prospeet of peace. The pacific pro-
posal of 130:4 APA R Tt has thus come to nothing, as
every man in the least acquainted with his cha-
lair and vies had foreseen. His objet in making
that overture is also equally manifest, perhaps too
manliest to afford him all the benefit which he ex-
pefted to derive from it. A bare perusal of the
letter thews that it was written to meet the public
eye. It has nothing of the stiffness and cold for-
mality of an official document about it. A soft
heartednes:, approaching almost to a morbid sen-
sibility, is to be found in every line ; we can
trace Richard the TAirti making love to Lay
.I"ne, in every p..ragraph. It is a compound
ut fraud and affeftation, honey upon the sur-
face, but gall and poison beneath. To prove its
insincerity, we need only look at the circumstances
under which it was written. A few days before,
BON APARTE had declared in his speech from his
thrtne, at the meeting of his Parliament, that he
would not give up one particle of his influence over
Contirant ; that the Treaty of Amiens, and no-
' •rtg hut the Treaty of Amiens, would satisfy him,
.tad ke had received the unatiimous approbation cf
his Parliament for this assurance. With what consist-
c..:y then can he presume to impute the continuance
ro the war to the extravagant demands of England ;
or now can he estpe.a to impose upon the world by
sc:h fallow professions ? The policy which dielated
this letter, is also manifested by the particular
relations between this country and Spain at
the time. Ile felt that he had forced Spain
Into war, and that His MaJ cs-r '3 Speech must
attribute that event us his overhearing influence
la her council.. In this crisis, then, he chose to
make an overture fur peace, flattering himself, at the
same time, with the certain and immediate prove&
of a plausible opportunity to recall it. With the
tame fraud and fisllavy, this hypocrite addresses
SPiti; whom be has plunged in ruin. and says,
