into those de ails, tim Undersigned declares that the
British Gi,vernment be able clearly to prove
the information on which the French Gosiern-
mem ifs opinion on this subje6t, .is

The British Government has charged Mr. Mac-

having been fixed..atter the'most attentive researches
and conside!ation which could. be given to the sub-
jea, he cantrot depart from his proposition.
With regard toDenmirk O-r to Russia, Mr. Mac-

ttbr could maintain that there existed, wiih respect
to IheM; a 'material 'omission in the British Projet,
of which the first, the second, and the sixth
comprehend the Allies of buth parties. It
Ruissia an-1 Denmark are Allies of France, they
will find themselves comprehended in these ar-

Britain or France to mix their interests in this.
