the Chief of that Government, tog-ether.

ing theeby pew obstacles to the progress of the ,Ne-

Whatever vieN-Os the French Government ma); hve
in .

His Majesty feels that' it is equally prejudicial to• the,

The undersigned Minister Plenipotentiaty.of his
rßritaiiiiic . Majesty received last night the 'Note
•which bia Excellency the Minister lot-Foreign-At--;
fairs did him the honour-to address to-him on the
_.lst of this month.

The Undersigned, learning-that his Excellency M.
Champagny is authorized to grant' him, the pass-
ports which .he has demanded, and whia he is on
the point of receiving, cannot refrain froaroliserving,
to his Excellency the' -Minister for. -Foreign • Al-.
fairs, in answer to his Note, that 'he has some diffi-
culty in imagining from' what circumstances his Ex-
cellency has been able to infer, " that the British.
Government have resolved to tbregothe prospe& of

The Undersigned was-sent torn ance to negOtiate a
Peace; at a time when the illustrious Minister; to
Whoni His ,Excellency has paid so just ,a tribute 41
praise, presided over the:department for Foreign Af-;
jairs. 'This great mad then a&ed under the full con,
.viEtion, that he had receiVed from France ati Offer of
Peace Onlhe ba'sisof uti possidetis;with the sole
ception of Hanover and of irs.Dependencies in favour..

success of the arms of His Britannic Majesty, as well
in Italy'as 'on:the Continent of South AMerica; and:
the 'refusal of. his Majesty the .Emperor of all-the
Russias to ratify,the Treaty,which in the eyes.of the.
French Government Was equivalent to the-most-splen- •

Vanced on the part Of his-Majesty, incompatible with
the *principle which was •at first proposed by the
French GovernMent, through the channel of -the

it is not, surely, from such coudua that the Me=
.rencecan be draWn, " that the-British GOvernment
have resolved to forego the prospeet of ta peace."
Are the conditions which the-Undersigned was
ordered. propose as the basis of -a Peace bet Ween

French .Government More of a naturelo- have giVen.
