LONDON, MARCH 21, 1803.

WE received yesterday the Paris Pairstr4' of the
16th, and this morning those of the 17th ; but they
are totally destitUte of any intelligence ofimportance.
The Monileur, and of course the other Papers, pre-
i;:r: a most profoun'i silence upon the events which
have .xiccaeted within the last few days. The
Frvtch are, however, declining ; they are

SB. 50. •
Et.tter is stated to have been received from
L;sl the'arti.al of General LASNI9
',1,.; .Cai)ital, and stating that he had imrne.
diately in.3istr!.l voot, removal of the Pgjoi-
&am who were in power Ivhen he left Portugal ;
which rf:•ioest the PRINCE REGENT bad thought it
necr,s It) t. comply with, This repoo does not
rest upon any authority, hut there js ao,much pro-
bability in it, that we shall not be surprized to.find
it confirmed,

OUR Letters from Dover received this morning;
contradia the report which prevailed on Saturday,
and to which :we g:tveno.credit,- of in ,Erubarzo
having been laid on all British Vessel, in. the
Ports of Prance.. Such a measure was appre.
hended 'by the Masters of some small trading
vessels, which induced •them precipitately to quit
the French Ports, but it certainly has. not yet been
citric:li into effea, if it ever was intended.

ON Thursday evening arrived at Falmouth the
Lord ChtuAtSpenctr Packer, with Mails from the.
Leewarr, stands Cab 11 on Friday the LiCiller, with
trofii narbadoes;- and the Plinceit
,ihnelia Packet foinicthe Cape. of Good Hope.—
.This Picker had been dispatched 'With Duplicates
.of the orders .sent by ihe,ltnegene for the retention,
of the. Cape. We have already.stated how pro Vi.
dentially that vessel arrived frir the attainment of
that important object. The Priam: Amelia Packet
arrived at the Cape on the loth of, January, and
sailed again on the 14th.

WE inserted in our Paper of Friday, an account
of the Memorable Conversation which took place
between the FIRST Coxstn. of France and Lord
WHITWORTH) at the Drawing room` of Madame
BONAPARTE, on the z 3th instant. Tlrat account
we received from an authority on which we place
the firmest reliance.

The following.statement however has been.trans.
mitred to this Country, from persons high in the
confidence of the French Government, and, as the

a

French account of this curious transaaion, we eige:4.'l
~
it to the Public. Our Readers will perceive that .3 -,'',
materially differs from our former account with re.,
speB to the temper which is supposed to have ac. )
'
tuated the Party chiefly concerned.
" The FIRST CONSUL being present at the
Drawing-Room of Madame BONAPARTE, WhiCh
rook place on the (22d Ventose,, 13th March, and
having found Lord WHITWORTH and M. de MAR. ,
COIF standing together, said to them, ' Wellave
' fought, for fifteen years, and it seems there is*
' storm; athering at London, which may produce
s another War of fifteen years more.--Tbe KING '-
' of ENGLAND has said in his Message to the.Pak-4 ~
;:..ir
' liament, that France had 'prepared ofrensiv°7?:'
' Armathents ; he has been mistaken,, there is fl t
' in the ports of France, any considerable force. -,.-'
' they having all set out for St. Domingo. Si
' said there existed some differences between 111 41''
' two Cabinets ;I do not know of any. It is true .
4 that Fits'MAJESTY has engaged by Treaty, that
' England should evacuate Malta-,--It is possible to;
'• kill the French reople, but nut to intimidate . '
' them.'

" At the conclusion of the Drawing-Roonlol°
ENGLISH Mzzi rsa, being neir the door, the Ce 43.11"::
stn. said to him, ' The Dutchess of Doxsax tlate.°4
Passed the most unpleasant season at Paris, I nos;
I ardently wish she may pass the pleasant one also;
but if it is ttue that we are to have 1t r, O&M.
6 sponsibility, both in the sight.of God and mafl
will be on those who shall refuse to execute tht
Treaty."
