The'following ifirereiting article has lately been piinteJ in
the German Language. and circulated on the Continent :
" England feie not provoked the bloody contest
which now extends over the whole Continent. of
Europe ; and if she has patiently and silently -en-
dured so long the virulent and unjust accusations
heaped upon her by Frances It is because she con-
ceived it unbeComing her diguity to notice essertions
destitute of proof, and eonveyed iteterms of insult-
• s int, self-arrogated superiority. At a moment, how-
ever, iSTheasher Troops are about to join those. of
other Nations, equally as herself. outraged by the
unjust menaces and aggressions of France, shercon-
eeivei it was no longer prudent in her to delay ex-
: posing to all Europe, but chiefly to France itself,
the undisguised causes which have induced her to
call forth the 'loyalty of her Inhabitants, and the
valour of her Troops. These causes originate not
hi ambitious views on her partects, as France would
have It, in perfidious violation of Treaties, because
those treaties were found to militate against her in-
terests ; but in the deep-designing restless ambition
afa man whose sole occupation seems to he conquest,
and whose every action testifies disregard' to the com-
. mon observances among men. - ' - . e '
" When England,' penetrated with a "proper sense
of the miseries a long and deubtftil War had eetailed
upon her inhabitants, consented to accept even .a
disadvantageous Peace, she prepared with fidelity to
execute every article of the Treaty ; and the most'
undeniable proof of her sincerity was given by a
complete dismantlement of her Ships, ;led a general
disbandage of her Troops ; all the Warlike stores
were sold without reserve, and even the. barracks
were disfurnished of every article of use'or comfort..
. Such was the actual state or Great- Britain a very
m few onths.afler the Definitive, Freety of Arpions
had been ratified by the several parties;: nay, so
unsuspicieui was England of any impediments taking
place'to the hapedsler blessing, that. even pending
the Negotiation she consented to France sending
over to St. Domingo an immense Force, 'both in
Troops and Shipping, and which any crooked policy
vii her own part would undoubtedly hive thrown
on her defenceless West India` Possessions: • .
" One point alone, remained .to be
,setticd, the
~
evacuation of Malta, a piece Of nO importitice to
England, unless at 'war with France, but 'of incalcu-
lable maritude if once occupied by that restless
Power. Fp guard :against the possibility el such lei
event;, England required its .Neutrislity to be euarati-
teed by both Russia and Austria; end uutd ibis ar's
' raugeMent could lake pleCe, she pres'ientiy refused to
evacuate din Fortress. ~Frenee,on her yetrt, pteesed
with a suspicious impatience the fulfilment of this
' part of the Treaty of Amiens, and st bile sae asses
gently and leiidly needed sel4t she termed fier
right, she did not even attempt to diseuise her own
views on the independency of 'this' impregnable
Island. 'All Europe has 'weneeastd• ~the seccessise

" Such was the proud state of France at the con-.
elusion of the war. Let us now turn a hasty view
on the situation of other Powers. Aestria, humbled;
and almost ruined, entertained not a wish to renew
the war; Russia was in amity with Fiancee—Prussia
almost her Ally; the weak Powers feared and courted
her; England, as has been seen, seriously► prepared
to enjoy the blessiegs of Peace. .

;A. Letter of Lord Wepotes, dated the cd ofoe-

Papers.: • Nothing would more forcibly condut-43 tt

trust, that when _the proper time shall crime, they
will be given to the world us an inciteinent and an
example to the brave. In the mean tin* froM the

Lord NaLsow joined, the Fleet the 28th of Sq.
tember, but at so late an hour in the evening that he
did not make the communication till the next morn-
ing. He wrote a Letter to one of his most intimate
Friends on the Ist of 06tober, in which there is the
fallow;ng passage
" I believe 'my arrival was most welcome, not
only to the Commander of the Fleet, but also to
" every individual in it; turd when I came to ex-

Skit was the receptioh that, -the gallant Admiral
met with. from his Companions in Arms !---The

Which he said—" I have not the smallest doubt
that the Enemy are determined to put to sea,

The Noble Lord in a subsequent Letter of the
13th spoke with increased confidence of ViCiory, in
' totistyleoee f,, he addition that had been made to
ills force. And the Enemy seem to have been aware
that day by day the aaivity of Lord BARII,OI INCA

'The City of Edinburgh was most superbly
tinted on Monday last, for our late Naval Vidory,
with the exception of one street (Castle-street),
Which was left in complete darkness. This was
done through sympathy with the feelings of Mrs.
Derr, the mother-of the gallant Captain Durp, who
was slain in the action. Her residence is in that
street. 'A guard was properly stationed at each end,
to prevent any disturbance.

There were several letters from Rotterdam, of the
14th, shewn publicly on • the Exchenge, that such
was the univeraal distress in Paris for money, that no
fewer than iiventy-fintr Bankers. bad stopt payment,
and that.the Batik-paper bore a discount of 12 per
cent.

Captain P—, who was wounded in the late
duel, near Canterbury, is considered as nearly o.it
of danger.

of his time he pretend td to live by begging, In his

been given him by the French Government forpast
services, but not for services to he performed. The
