LONDON; g UNE 19, tBor.

WE have lately entered very much at large- into
the 'subjea of the Papers which have appeared- in
the 211Dniteur, and which, upon a most important
point, speak either the real or the pretended senti-
ments of the Government of France.—Either that
Government finds it necessary to conciliate the
feelings of its People by a public avowal merely of a
desire to enter into terms of amity With this Coun-
try—or that objest is, not the display of such SCII-
- for any collateral purpose, but
,a sincere de-
sire for Peace.—We wish we could say with confi-
dence that we could put the latter interpretation
upon the statements conveyed in these Papers ;
but without ailiaing to know all that has passed
on the subjea of the intercourse which has taken
place between this Country anti France, there
has been a delay (to say no more) in bringing
the question to a point, hardly consistent with
the sentiments 'to which we have alluded, and
which delay, we know, cannot be imputed to His
MAJEsTY's Ministers. The favourable disposition
to Peace which is avowed by France, is signified to
a rise' from the moderati.lrr which has been shewn by
Hls MAJ Esry's present Ministers, compared anti
contrasted with the disposition of those who pre-
ceded them. - We believe neither the one nor tip
other have ever required Terms from the Enemy,
incompatible with the relative situation of the two
Countries.—Compliments are always suspicious,
when they proceed from the Enemy ; and the Chief
Consul mistakes the present Ministers very much,
if he supposes they will weigh at all in the scale,
when. they come to treat for the Terms of Peace.

Perhaps the, improved situation. of this Country
within these few months, and the embarrassments of
France, may' have led to these declarations. The
Vitiory at Copenhagen, the favourable state of our
affairs in the North, and the channels:of Commerce
re-opened—the progress of our arms in Egypt, and
the' prosped of driving the French from that Coun.
try—the appearande of a plentiful harvest, and all
ideas of the turbulenceand commotion which were
eneCted to arise froM the Scarcity of Grain vanished,
these are circumstances Which may have changed
in some degree. the views which the Chief Consul
had with respect to this Country.—To this we may
perhaps add the difficulties which he has experienced
in u.tjuscin the stipulations of the Treaty of
Luneville, and the probability of a Coalition arising,
if not in our favour and conneaed with us, at least
hostile to the projefis of the 'Chief Consul.—li
we consider all these things;and the difficulties for
France which muse spring out of some .of them; we
shall not be .surprized at the formal declaration of a
desire for Peace, and we shall even suffer-ourselves
to hope that the Chief Consul aay really entertain
that desire with more sincerity.thai he has hitherto
manifested.

When we speak of the favourable changes which
have recently taken place in the state of our Affairs,
.we feel that much indeed is due upon that point to
His Majesty's late Ministers. -- TREY the
foundation of those recent Successes at which we so
much rejoice.—Tx Iry prepared the sleet for Copen-
baser, and the Army for. Egypt.—lt is just that
those who sow should reap, and we know the dis.
positions of His Majesty's present Ministers too
well to suppose them capable of arrogating to them-
selves the merits of others. They will prove to the
world by their etindua, that they dqnot stand in need
of borrowing fame from any men-1-they scorn the
miserable palaver of some who pretend.to be their
friends, and who,think that they never can praise
them sufficiently without detraeting from the me-
rits of their Predecessors ; and they will equally
despise this wretched species of adulation, whether
it come from the pen of a time_ serving Journalist,
or from the mouth of BONAPARTE. They have,
like their Predes:essors, the real interests of the
Country at heart, and they will (as the late Mini-
.sters would have done) embrace the first moment,
for making Peace, whenever they can.effeet it con-
.sistently with tke, Honour and the Security of the
Councry.

WE yesterday stopped the Press to announce
the receipt of Paris Papers to the !6th instant,
one day Liter than those which had before come
to i-tand. :They contain nothing of importance,
with the exception of one article from Pau, which,
'if we could give credit to it, would be of consi-
derable moment. It states, under date from that
plaCe of the 6th instant, the receipt of Official
intelligence of a Peace having been concluded be-
oyeen Spain and Por:vgal, and thence it infers,
between Pwirg.ll anti Fraece, the latter having
