STATE OF THE NEGOTIATION.
This Day was published, price n. sd. Third Edition.
MR. STOCKDALE has the honour to announce
to the Public, that a numerous Impression of this
m
Pamphlet is now rely for delivery. The fullness in which
its Statements arc continued by the French`Official Papers,
Itore occasioned so large a demand for it, that the Trade «re
requested to be ouly in their applications,

" To recur to the material question : your Excel-
lency says, that there are three forms in which the
discussions ca❑ be conducted; yet you say, that the
first stated is inadmissible. After what I have al-
ready written, you ought to conclude that the third
is equally repugnant to our notions of justice and
honour, and to our views of the interests of our
as to the principle; but, indtvendently of the delay
it would occasion, it is not,. at the present moment,
practicable.
" It is, therefore, with much concern that I ex-
plicitly declare, that at this time, I do not discover
any prospe& of peace, should your Excellency not
be disposed to treat in the form that we have already
proposed. I shall now add, that this is an es-
sential preliminary, not only for the reasons I have
had the honour to explain to your Excellency, but
because any other mode would generate the suspicion
that you entertained the chimerical.design imputed
to you (unjustly, I believe), to exclude us from all
connexion with any Power on the Continent of
Europe ; and that this idea is less revolting to us than
it is, or ought to be considered. It is.not necessary to
employ arguments to convince a Minister, so en-
lightened as you are, that England would never con-
sent to an exclusion which would degrade her from
the rank she has hitherto maintained, and that she
expe&s always to support among the nations of the
world.

" In fall, - the affair is reduced to a single point.
Will we negotiate jointly with Russia ? Yes . Do
you wish that we should treat separately ? No ! If.
we have not succeeded in the desirable object we
propose to ourselves, we have at least the satistac-
.tion of congratulating ourselves on the politeness and
frankness which has charaderized the. two Govern-
ments in the conduct of the affair ; and I ought to ex-
press my personal acknowledgments to you for the
kind expressions your Excellency used respecting me.
" I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) " C. FOX."
