NOTE of. General AndrealsY!

The Undersigned General of Division. Ambassador and
Miniaer Plenlitittentiary from the French. Republic.; has laid
hernre his Government the Note addressed to him by his
Excellency Lord Hawkeshury. He has: received .Orders to
make th.:: fuliowing Ahswer to, the .0 bservations therein
contained, - _

The (YbjeCt of this Note appears to be to explain His
Britannic Majesty's Message; and to give scaneelueidations
which had been. demanded respeeting the Executioh.of the
Treaty of Amiens.
The First Consul will not make any complaint relative
to the 'extraordinary and unex peeled assertions of this At.
issued by His Britannic Majesty.. Not one of thetn'is
founded.

His Britannic Majesty believes that his Kildom is me-'
'laced by Preparations niade in the Ports of Holland and
France. He has,been deceived : The First Consul has is... Ade
no Preparation.
There were at the time of the Message, but twci Frigates'
in the Roads ot Holland, and INA three Corvettes in the
Road of Dunkirk.

Hi:pecan His Britannic,Majestrs Ministers have been de,
ceived on Fads so evident ? His'Britannic Majesty's Ambas-
sadors at Paris,and at the Hague have seriously to reproach
themselves, if they have Credited informatiiiii, so 'evidently
false, and if
.they did, not furesee that , they- thereby exposed
their Government to err in the most important delibera-
tions.

Was it not conformable to the usage tmikiised antung Na.
Lions, first to demand explar.ations, au“ toen to Like. .tneanS
for being convinced of the falsehood of the, Udell which
the Ministers might have received ? Must not the. least
ctßeis of the omission of this pranice be, to Iniog on the
him of families, and carry Coltfuswo, unurtaility, and dis-
order into all the commercial' nifairs of boLim Nations 1 The
First Consul knows, both from his own sentiments, and
judging of other people by the French, that a great Nation
can never be terrified. lie halieVei that good pOlicy, and the
teelings of true dignity ever inspire the sentiment of esteem
for a Rival Nation, and never, tilt:, design et menacing her.. A
great Nation may be destroyed-, but not intimidated:
The second part of His Majesty's Message consists of ano-
ther 'assertion no better founded. His Hrintrpic Majesty
makes mention of discussions. the 411CCess of which is doubt-
lid. What are these 'discussions ? What', o!ficial Notes,
what protocole prove the opening; the progress the vicis'si
tudes of a debate ? Cana t,tate of ditfictatieS, !regress,
leads to
an alternative of Peace of War, spring up unawares without
conimencement, without progiession, and lead without dis-
tinaion, to an appeal to Arms betore till the means of con-
ciliation have been exhausted .? _ _

in this case. the- appeal has been publicly made before it
could be known that there was room fir unsuhderstanding.
The termination of the discussions was announced .before
they had begun. The issue of a diiiicult discussion has been
declared before it arose. What would 'Europe, what would
both Nations think, 'if they kneew that these discussiOns;
announced by His Itritannic Majesty as so difficult to tenni—
nate, were unknown to • the t rrnch Covernment ; ,and that
the First Consul on' reading the Message, cotild not .com 7.
prebend the meaning 01 either of the decl:Uations therein
contained

He has also abstained.fv.rn any ostensible step ; and what-
ever
tnav have I)een 11w clamour, the attivity, the provoca-
tions of \Cu. hav•take.n place in England since that
he has given no enters, he hasmade'no dispoSitions,
no preparations. He, places his glory in an afThir of this nature
whoil}r in bein4 taken to an unprovided state: He will eon--
chute in this system of honest frankness, until His'Britannie
Majesty has rkected fully On the part he proposes to take.
in Lord Hawkeshury's •Note, an opinion s expressed that
the French Republic has iocreased in Power since the peace
of. Amiens. This is a• chatted err Or. Since that 'epoch,'
France has evacuated a considerable Terri to r y:• The F ren c 11,
Power has lecei.ved no degree of aUgMentifioll. If ELS
Britannic Maj4wv is 'determined to' make War, he may al-
lege the pretexts he will .Lind kW less
founded. •

As to the complaints made- respeCting the Publications
which may have appeared in France, they are of an older too
secondary to be capable of influencing such a decision. Are
we then returned to thee Age of Tournaments? Motives of
this nature might have authorized, font centuries 'ago, the
Combat of Thirties; hut they cannot, in this Age, be a rea-
son for War between the two Countries.
It might suffree in this allied to reply to his rxecuency,
that no Representation has been made by him on the subjed
to the Government of the Republic; and that, if it wet -hut
justice to grant satisfattion, the First Consul nad a right to
expect that which was required by, M. Otto, in his Note of
the eed Thermidor last, upon gtoundi more serious and
inerejust. i
Is it .possible that the English Ministry can hate been
ignorant, that ever since the conclusion of -the Treaty of
Amiens the English Press has not ceased to spread. through
Europe the-rage of- %Vat, thediseredit of Peace, and shame-
less 4-nil boundless outrages against every thing whieh i$ the
object of the love and veneration of the French People ?
A' few days after the ratification of Pellet, one of. His
Britannic Majesty's Ministers declared that the. Peace Esl4-
hlishtuent must be considerable; and. the-distrust _excited hye
thisdeclarationenede in-Parliament with as much bitterness,
as impropriety, furnished a Commentary for the exaggera-
tion and alarms which were circulated in despicable 'Pante
phlets, and in Newepopers as contemptible as those Libels.
Since that time, tileSe.WriterS have bound themselves in
variably. supported in their insolent of:ecreations by paetieue
lar phrases' taken frein the Speeches of some-leading-'Meter;
hers of Parliament. These 'Speeehes, scarcely to be ex'e.
everted by.-the News-writera themselves, have,. for
.these
eighteen motults, tended to encourage, insult against other,
Governments to that degree,. that every European must be
()Minted, and every-reasonettio Englishman must be hunii-
hated, by such- unheard of licentiousness.
What if we conned -with these tallies, proceedings more
offensive and serious; the indulgence granted :to French
criminals, publishing daily outrages in the French language ;
the edit more inexcusable toleration extended to villains
covered with crimes, and 'plotting assassinations incessantly,
such as_Cfecieges who still continues to 'aside at London pro.,
meted; and having a considerable establishment ; in a word,
the little justice which has been shown to aii leer represent.
ations, flow are we to account for the publicity ob the come
plaint which His Britannic Majesty has thought proper to-
make respecting some indefinite wrongs which. Ile Ins hither-
to thought unnecessary to bring before the First Con-sul ?
The I irst consul has had cruse to he _Convinced diet all,

Mention being made of what is passing em England, either in
the official discussions or in the polemical wi lunge to France.
-as in like manner in the French official, discussions and poe,

What is passing in England.
Lord Hawkesbury mentions an article in a newspaper, con,
tainiag the report of.a.French In serious discus.
skins an answer on this paint might be dispensed with; but
it is neither a long nor difficult matter.
A Colonel in the English Anoy has published a work in
England, filled with the most atrocious and disgusting ca-
lumniet against the French Army and its Genera. The lies
it contains have been contredided by the reception which
Colonel- fiebastiani experienced. The publicity of his report
was at tinet)i refutation and a reparation which the Ftench
Army had a right to expect. On his arrival in Egypt, this
of ieereto his great astonishment, found the English. Army
there, although they should hove evacuated it, and the
'furls prodigiously-alarmed at the continuance of the Eng.
Nall. Army, and at' its relations with the natives in rebellion
and open revolt against the Sublime Porte.
He must have conceived that the Treaties which connat
us with the Porte, and by which we have guaranteed to it
the integrity
of its possessions, compelled us to- unite our-
Wires with that Power. It-was natural to think that t;;ltg.
land meant to declare warfront the instant she had refused to
execute the Articles of the Treaty. For after all, France is-
not' redalced to such a state ofdebaserneot es to suffbr Treaties
made with her to be executed or not at pletsure.
Hence the researches made by this officer, as to the
Forces which were in Egypt, and *6 to the position 'leen.
pied by the English Army.. •

My Lord, Parie„April
Aa I heardnothing from AI. de Talleyrand, I called on him
on Thursday, in tmler to lear►t the effect of the` Proposal
WhiCh I had made, conformably to your Lordship's Instruc-
tions,
on the.basts of a perpetual possession of the Forts of
Malta, on re-4esteblishing the Order in the Civil Government
of the Island.. He told me, that, if I had called on.him
sooner, he should two days ago have communicated tome the
Firit Consul's Answer, which was, that no consideration on
earth . shotild induce him to consent to. a concessiott, in
perpetuity. of Malta, in any shape whatever : And.. that
the re-establishment ut the Order, was not so much the
point to be discussed, us that of suffering Great Britain
to acquire a posse4:Aun in the
.Metliterraneao.- I told hint'
that dtd not sooner because I had peen given to
understand, that he woidd have himself proposed it to
ter the purpose orcemmunicating the Answer •of the
First Consul ; and that•dt did not: in any shape become
me to put mysellon.the footing of a Solicitor in tins transac•-,
tion. After -some conversation, and tioding (What I most
.sincerely.believe to be the cams). that the First Consul's deter,
Initiation Syai•fiXe'd 01) the point of a possession of 'Matta • in

avotildbe to.wave iris pretensions to a Possrassion iii

number of years to be agreed upoo, inn the condition that .no
apposition should be made.ou the part of the rrench,Gtivern-..
Meat to any Negotiation Ilis Majtsty toight set on foot with
' Ills Sicilian Majesty for the lalanil of Larripedosa. We dis..
cussed; this proposal in a conversation of.sonte. length, and I
made. use of all the Arguments-which have; 4,4 n furnisn4d
me by your Lotdship„ or which oceurred to Inc in its tavonr.
. I begged hint partienlarle facollett. :that we were in
possession of the .Objeti, and they. thzrefore every
modification tending •to limit that' posaession, was in tact a
concession -tin the part...of-His Majesty, anti a proof of his
desire co sacrifice to his love a Peace the just claim which
he had acquired in consequence id the .couttuct.of France, and
which had recently been admitted, of a much , more COnii-
derable Compensation and .counterpoise. M. de TalleYnind
did not seem stisposed to dispute any or my positions,
;and I
left him, l confess' fully impressed :with the. idea, that
the next day (Friday) I. should find Win prepared to treat on
this ground, and that the only difficult point to be arranged'
would be the number of years ...for ivhit,n Malta should be
ceded to His Majesty. •
Your Lordship will conceive my surprise.. when on seeing
hirn the next day, he told me that although he had not been •
able to obtain from the irst .Consul all he wished, still the
proposition he had to make would, he trusted, be such as
fully to answer the purpose. lie then. said. that the First
Consul would, on no terms, hear either-of a perpetual or .a
temporary possession of Malta t that his objed was the
execution of the Treaty of Ainieus ; and that rather than
submit to such an arrangement as-that I 114 last proposed,
he would even consent to our keeping the °bled in dispute for
ever On the ground that in the one there Wilellll appears
ance of generosity and magnanimity- t but in the other, no-
thing but weakness and the elleet ot. coercion: that there.
fore his resohation was-taken, and what he had to propose
was the possession. we required of the Island of Lampe-
doss, or of- any other of the small Isles of which there
were three or four beeween Malta and the Coast of. Africa ;
that such a posseSsion would be sutlicieot for the object we
had in view, which was a-station in the Mediterranean as
A place of refuge and security for . any Squadron we might
find it convenient to keep in that Sea. I strilr.d- hint to
expatiate a considerable time, and without interruption. on
• the great advantages we were to derive loon such an acqui.
sition. es well as on the coofidence which the First Con.
slit reposed in our pacific intention in lending a hand to such
an establishtnent. He concluded by desiring I would trans-
mit this proposal to your Lordship. - I told him that I
was. extremely' .sorry- Indeed to find that we had made such
little progress in the Negotiation ; that my order's Were
positive.; that I could hear of - nothing short • of what
had . proposed, .neither. could I- possibly undertake 'to
make .-such a proposal to His Majesty, since every word
of my instructions (from which I certainly should not de-
part} applied positively to Malta, unless an-aquivalent se.
curity could be otterwl, and surely he would nut pretend to'
tell me that Lampedusa.- could be 'considered as such; that
the possession of Malta Wag necessary for our security, and
:was rendered so not from any desire of aggrandizement on the
part of His MejeSty, but by the condutt of the french Go.
vernment ; and that •so strongly- were we impressed with
the necessity, that rather than abandon it, we were prepared
to go to, War: That it was no this ground I -must declare to
him, that I could neither take upon myself to fetward such
