•OLLM QUIS DICER.I FALsUM AlflitAr

LONDON, OCTOBER 7,18 or.

'E have it in our power to inform the Public,
that the PRELIMINARIES Of PEACE between this
Country and France were received at Paris on Sa-
turday the 3d inst. in the evening. We farther
learn, that the Ratification, which is delayed only
by the necessary forms of office, may be expelled in
a day or two.

THE London Gazette of last night contains a
Proclamation convening Parliament•for the dispatch
ot.' Business on the zgth inst. The Preliminaries
of Peace will then be submitted to both Houses of
Parliament for their approbation.

•• WE are very anxious that the Terms on which
Ministers have concluded the Peace should be as
much canvassed as possible—because the more they
are considered, the more satisfadory will. they ap-
pear to the Public.—lf we have not retained of our.
Conquests all that the most sanguine might have
expeded, we have not only -obtained that, in ex-
change for theM; for our Allies, which is highly
honourable to us, but we have in relinquishing many
of these possessions, rendered the duration of Peace
• much more probable.—ln retaining the Island of
Ceylon, we have kept a most valuable possession--'
valuable not only from its 'Exports, but as affbrd-
ing that of which we have hitherto always so much
felt the want in that quarter, an excellent Pori.
--In the Island of Trin;dada, we have preserved

1 one of the most important islands In the, West
'lndies, and the possession of which gives security
to all our Dominions in-that part of the World.—
With icspett to The Cape of Good Hope, if we had
retained it-=it would have occasioned a heavy Ex-
pence without affording any:return ; and by the
stipulation which has, been made, we have all the
advantage which even its possession could give—
that of making it a Port for our East India Ships—
with thiS further advantage, (and which we did not
formerly possess,) that this right will now be con-
- firmed and secured to us, and. will not rest, as. for-
merly, upon' the will of an Independent Power.
But the most important consideration, in reflea-
ing upon the Terms of Peace, is that which belongs
to Egypt.—ln every thing which relates to this
objeet we have been completely successful.—Our
Arms have conquered that Country, and by Treaty
the French have relinquished its possession.—The
Triumph of the British Arms in Egypt, when the.,
numbers of .our Army and those of the French are
considered, will ever reflea the greatest credit on
our Military Force, and redound to the honour of
our Countiy. Had the Treaty of El_Arish been
acceded to, it is possible that BONAPARTE, think-
ing as he did, that KLEBER was not reduced to
the necessity of making such a Treaty, would
not have yielded up that possession without ano-
ther Struggle :—but we have now convinced the
French Nation, that it was impossible to retain it
against the Arias of Great Britain, and we have no
hesitation in stating that it is to the Success of our
Arms in that quarter, to an Expedition invariably,
reprobated by the Opposition in our own Country,
that we now owe Peace. •

The restitution of Malta to its former Possessors
must be perfedly satisfadory to the People of this
Country—lt is just that this restitution should be
made, and it is enough for us that it cannot be used
as a step from. France to Egypt.
We see in the terms of Peace the: strongest
symptoms of sincerity on both sides.—The com-
plete renunciation of Egypt by FranccHthe liberal
cessions which we have made—the restitutions
which, through us, have been granted to our
Allies, leave nothing to barter or to Niggle about—
It is a Peace formed upon great, broad, and intelli-
gible principles.
•We have heard, in the course of-the Negotiation,
some sanguine, and we think very ill-judging men,
talk of Peace upon the principle of the Uti possitietis.
Peace upon such a basis might halie been re-
presented as brilliant and triumphant, when we
consider the Conquests which we have made during
the War, hut would it have been lasting? Or Would
there have been that reasonable ground of security
which we find in that which has been concluded ?

Every thing which has been stated by Ministers
as essential to us in the course of this arduous con-
test, has been obtained.—lf there are any who
think our concessions have been too large, let them
refleet that they have been made upon the principles
of good faith, of honour and of liberality, and
there is no sound Politician who will not, think that
with all our extensive and increasing trade, a few
Colonies arc well sacrificed to such considerations.

Upon the whole we are confident the People will feel
deeply indebted to the Ministers who have brought
the War to so happy a termination, as they will to
those who have so ably and so gloriously conducted
the most arduous contest in which the Nation ever
was engaged; and we sincerely offer up our Prayers
that nothing may intervene to cloud the bright pro-
spea we have before us—that durable Peace may
mature the admirable plans of the late Minister for
the improvement of our Financial System, and that
this Empire may not only continuo to retain its
great and pre-eminent station, but increase in all
those considerations which can render us happier in
ourselves, and procure for us the respect and admi-
ration of other Nations.

WE last night roccived Paris Papers of a date
one day latet than those which came to hand yester-
day morning, and which appeared in our Paper of
the Evening. The Packet in which the last Papers
came over, brought Dispatches for 'M. 0-fro, but
as no Messenger came over with them, a doubt was
entertained at Dover whether they brought the Ra-
tification. Rejoicings are however stated to have
taken place at Calais on the-Ratification, an account
of which was reported to have been received by
Telegraph..

The Paris journals '-re themselves destitute of
intelligence. They contain a detail of the Helvetic
Constitution, and of another Constitution, in a dif-
ferent quarter of the world, that given by To us-
SA I NT tO St. Domingo.

NEITHER the Hamburgb Mail due on Sunday,
nor that which became due this morning, had ar.
rived when our Paper was put to Press.
