PROJECT. FOR PEACE.

The foiloiving speculative Projet for a General
Peace, we copy from a Morning Print, It is evi-
deptly the mere product .of a reverie, and.intitled
to no further credit than is dui to the theory of a
mind not ill-informed upon the subject on which
it throws out its ideas. We lament to observe,
that even. in speculations of this sort it has a Con-
tinental bias : for the interests of Britain seem to
be mainly neOtected in 'this fanciful pacifica-
tion and hypothetical balance of the pciwers of
ruitsps,
Whereas, after many and terrible revolu-
tions, the French nation has adopted a new form
of Government, and. placed at its head the fa-
mily of Buonaparte, the chief of which 611114
hai been invested with the Imperial Title: Now,
in order to prevent all: doubts and uncertainties,
with respect to the internal security of kirance,
under the new regime, the same shall be fully
recognised by all the Powers of Europe, with the
proviso, that the title of Emperor shall not be
understood to convey!any farther or other pre-'
eminence, among crowned heads, than was for-
merly enjoyed by the French Monarchs ; and
moreover, the Constitution of the French Impe-
rial Government, and the Order of• Succession
established by the Constitutional Aet, shall be
guaranteed by the parties to the present treaty.
It being pre-supposed, that Great Britain, in
conformity with her repeated declarations of de-
sire for a general peace, will neceile to" such ar•
rtingetnents as shall manifestly tend to establish
the same on a secure basis, it• is hereby propos-
ed, that she shall cede to Frances the colo,,ies of
Martinique, Deseada,.Mariegalante,, St. Lucie,
and Tobago, in the Wes( Indies ; Ceylon, and
the Mauritius, in the Eastern Ocean ; Surinam
and Cayenne on the continent of South America ;
tmd the islands of Goree and St. Louis, on the
clan of Africa,
And whereas the annexation ofeertahr neigh—
booting territories has at various tines been adopt-
ed by the greater Powers of .Enrope, with a view
to their own security, and to the prevention of
confusions and disorders in their immediate neigh-
bourhood, but such annexations have occasioned
view. and Unexpected dangers, both from the disc
satisfaction of the inhabitants.of the Stlites so ao-
inexecl, and also from the *alarms entertained by
other Powers, it is hereby agreed, that the
an-
nexation of Holland,..and of varionsparts ofitalys'
Germany, and Swisserland to France, and also of
various pails of Poland to Russia,- Prussia, and.
Anstria (the same not haviug been effected by
right of conquest in open and lawful war, but be-
ing rather justified. by temporary motives, which:
li4,otiVeS will in the event of the proposed peace
cease to operate), shall henceforth be at an end,
sand she said territories shall be atranged.as here-
inafter provided'. •
t.o. proposed, that theSwtss•Cantoos, induct-

France, shall remain.untler the protection of that
Empire ; and that the Frenels Emperor shall bear,
.the title of Protector of the. lieloetto.Conftderacy.
d- • An sirliereas the 'French Emperor has often
heretofore declared„-tiutt, for the security, and .re-
pose Of Europe;after his own -decease, the Crowns
of .Prance and Italy should not remain on. the
same head ; now, forte. greater assurance of
such-trantpdlity, it. shall he provided, that the
said Separation shall take place immediately, and
'that he shall raise any Prince of his family .(and
particularly Joseph, now claiming to he King of
particularly Joseph, now claiming to he King of
Spahi in theevent of his abandoning such claim),

Kings of Sicily and Sardinia,. shall form a Con

of which the Emperor of Austria, under the title

In order to disturb as little as possible the re-

Westphalia, and shall be joined by the Hanseatic
cities, and by Holland (under the dominion of
