" The onderGinod Plenipotenthry of his Britannic lifale^v.
thinks it neceffery. In fore he enters upon the negotiation &dually
pending between his Sovereign and the Court of France, brkay to
retrain- tso eircumilantes which have produced It. In the mean
time, he confider. it as Lemming that franktrefs and linearity,
which, as Plenipotentiary of his Britarnie Majefty, be is deter-
mined to praelice, to declare that the principle which France her.
felf orluinally groveled, is the only hafet on which he can cadent,
to nq.eciate t as well as to define the nature of the difeullion on
which be is ready to enter.
" The Itrong and ener7etie hrgnage which the Frei ch Govern•
went em (toyed, three months liner, to exprele its dam of peace,
while it it fpired his Malelly with a confidence In the linearity of
the C urt of Prance, ceded no fniall degree of regret that the pro-
pot ion to treat with him, and fiperately from hie Allier, appear-
ed to prevent both France and 'torsional from profiting of this fa-
vourable difpdfition of their refmellve Govennnents. as it would
be impoflible for lila Britannic ).lajelly, unlefs he [averred from
that good faith which he has always mac ifeiled. to treat other-
wife than is conjunaion with his Ally the Emteror of Ruflh.
a Since that time, his levialelly found that intervening circuits-
Bonen which It I. not neediary to detail in this piece, allowed
hint to engage. In a Irfarare treaty, it was with grrat pleafure that
he rerelvell the propoliticn to tree generally, on the balls of the
eel plikth, to be fcrupulucily obfined, except in the cafe of Ha.
nover, which it la proputcd should be ceded to hi. Majafty with•
out any referee
" 1 his propofition, I: Is true, was not In a direct way, nor by
the channel of any accredited naoißrr ; its authenticity, however,
I could nut admit of the lead douitt

" Independent of the authority which it received from the cha-
ndler of the perfon employed to crimonmicate it, It appeared to
he In parted agreement with that which has been prcv:oully of.
fired. The Imspemr d set not entertain a with for any of the
prdeffions of England! Such an avowal made at the very begin-
ning of the Coe refpondence between the two Courts, was the na-
tural prelude to fuch a propolition.
" His Majelty raariled the ettßon of Hanover as a proof of
the Writ ufjuillce, in which the propofitinn had been conceived,
becaufe this Eltdorate, though it was uecupird upon a Inputted
Indemnity of interetts and mrafures, pared, la for nothing,
in the differences which ocuslioned the prekmt war • and be view-
, ed, in the principle till they recognised as the gemet hafts of no.
lodation (a halls particularly adapted to the relative Otuetion of
the two parties) what he caldera' to be a proof, that France was
as Oreerely dllpoled as Great Ratan, to put an end to an order of
things, equally prejudicial to the intcretts of the two countries.
. _ . . .

" In fact, it appeared to his Majelty to be the only principle or.
which the negotiation could be brought to an happy toncluften.—
From the nature of theft intereff s In which the raped:live parties
particlpited, It could net be expedled that a fatiofoertory arrange.
meet could be made, in the way of reciprocal rellitution, by the
reltoration of their refpeElive acquifitions; while, on the other
hand, the principle of the aritlfirrir naturally pufented itfelf, as
off, ring the means of putting an end to the unfortunate bethinks
between the two nations, both of whids are in poffanin of esb.n.
Awe and Important calques, both u to territory and Influence:
France on the Continent of Europe,andCreat Britain in the other
pa. to of the world.

" Tbia feet appeared Rill more ftrileing to his Majefty, on eon •
fidering that larth nations had *Maned an afloat poffefilon in their '
refpedive acquilitioes, wields could not experience any material
akerattea from the cootinuanee of the war; the frneriority of the
naval force of Great Britain being, according to all appearance, no
Ids firmly eltabliftted on the lea than that of the armies of France
on the Continent of Eumpe.
" It was under the imprellon which there refl-ttlans naturally
produced, that his Majefty moll willingly accepted the ',tonna-
dos for treating on the new principle of the Nt‘ ?Alai', with the
refervation due to the fobutting conneCtion with the Emperor of 1
Rutile ; and as a proof of hi• fincerity, he made choice of the
perfon by whom We CODITUDICAtft,4I had been made, to announce
the alacrity with which he acceded to the boas prorated for the
conclution of a treaty. The undedigned is by co means difpcded
to conceal the fatisfaellon that his Majefiy has derived from the I
pleating pro(pcd of fpeedily reltoring the: biellings of peace to his i
tubjcdta on pit and equitable principles, and which are conform•
able to the honour of tits Crown ; nor of the regret which he ex-
perienced, when at the very 1110111Crt that Ills Majefty bad ac-

pried* was tuildenly abandoned by the demand to evacuate and
reftorepielly, a demand which has not been modified in any other
way than by projeets of Indemnity to his Sicilian Majefty, which
were equally infuncient and Inadmiffible.

(No. ne.)

The underfignedi Mhiliter Plenipontentlary of his Majefty
the Emperor and King of Italy, has hid before the eyes at his
Government. the Note fent yefterday by his Excellency Lord
Lauderdale Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majelty.

Hig Maielty the Emperor and King of Italy, could not but be
painfully affsdied, to fee that a negocia. ion. which ha, &kaki, been
the °bled olio many tonferences—which has occafioned the dlr.
patch of fo many couriers on both fides--which was, in (bort, con-
cluded to its maturity, Ihould fuddenly have taken a retrograde
coerce, fo as even to prefent °Mack., not in the nature of the fii-
pulationi, but even in the very hafis on which the negotiation was
opoletl.

The Court of Prance baa conflaltly refofed to admit in the
fame negociation the Courts of England and of RufGa; and what-
ever dare his Majeity the Emperor and King may have to fee
the amend peace loon ertablifhed, there it no confideration which
could have induesd him to violate this principle of his
&Mel, the negociations that France had commenced at St Pe-
terthurgh. had cuovinccd hi. Mildly the Emperor and Klog. that
the Englifh Cabinet were under a deltafion, as to the nature of
th. it tonneetions wills Rultia.

" After many months dircuffion, the Cabinet of London yielded
upon that point, and his Excellency the Earl of Yarmouth arrived
publicly at Calals,and then at Paris, to treat about peace. He had,
from his arrival in that capital. conferences with hi. Excellency the
hi Miller of Foreign Affairs, after having previoully informed him,
that be was duly authorifed by his Government.
" Since that epoch, Raffia has co-cluded its peace with France.
The underligniter has been named &Unifier nenirrentiary, to
treat with the Pknipntentiary of his Britannic Majetty t— and the
hilt Rep was an exchange of hie powers with thole of his k accl-
ivity the Merl of 1 arniouth, whom be had a right to believe. It
his full powers exprefs, authorized to treat, conclude, and five a

Britain and Irdand.

" Very fresnent conferences, the greater part of tbent for many
hours, lave Once taken place between, the two Plenipotentiaries.
who being of good faith on both fides, applied themfelves to
fmootb all difficultlee, and laid aflde every thing which could tend
to Irritation, or to catharrafs or retard uf.derely, the ptogrefs of the
negociation.
" Inftesd of exchanging Notes, more or lefs likilful.but which
remove from, rather than approach the oiled to he obtained—
inflead of commencing dude eontroverfies in welting. which are
nut Ids prejudicial to humanity than open boilable.. add wb!cle

rioting a peace in the mamer thi t war la made, the Plenipoten-
tiaries managed with frank nefs the eoafertnces, in which his Ma-
3eity the f mpernr and King gr-nted all that he could ram with-.
out lnfing fight of the dignity of bit Crown, his love for his people,
and the inter...as of his allies.

" Never will his Majeftrbe reduced to other further&
" Does not the eourfe taken by his Excellency the Earl of Lau-
derdale, the new Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Mikity, appear
to annotioce, that a multitude of Notes would not be tufEtient
even for the two Governments to underhand one soother? and is
there oot evidently a danger, that by pwfuing filch a courfe, o(
which the abide has been fo mullet% hi our time, that they will
underhand o,ie another hill Ids than they do at prefect ir there
I, no other with but to create document. which may afterwards
be thewn to the Parliament of Great Britain. his Mikity the
Emperor feels no fuch nectlity. It is peace which he dearest
that peace equally hunouralfic to Prance, to Great Britain, and
their Allies which the 'Adman and mutual labours of the te-
fpedivc Plenipotentiaries had made acceptable to the two Go.
v_riuncots.

Neverthelefs, to thew to the eyes of all, his love for Jaftice
and the lineally of his pacific fentlenents. and that it may be truly
1111.1%, a to whom every hindrance to the prove(' of the negocia-
tlol ought to be attributed, his Majelly the Emperor and King has
deigned to permit the Undrrligned to difcuf. here the main quer.
lion relative to the hafts of Oak negociatioa, already advanced,
and upon the point of being terminated.
In the letter written to his Exoelleney Mr. Fox, on the tft of
April, by his Excellency the French Minifter of Fortign Affairs,
that Mirilfter announces, that his Majefty the Emperor and King
adopted entirely the principle laid down in the difpatch of his
Excellency Mr. Fox, of the sfith of March, and prefeoted as the
bafis of the negociation, that the propohd peace ought to be ho
pourable for the two Courts, and for their refpeElive Allles.'

" In his letter of the ad of June, to his Excellency Mr. Fox, his
Fxcelkney the Mlnlfter of Foreign Affairs went Rill farther. He
propofed, lu the name of his Majelly the Emperor and king, to
eitabilll foe bates two fendamental principles ; the Srft taken from
the letter of Mr Fox, of the 26th of March, to wit, that the
two States ibould have for their objed, that the peace °mold be
honourable for them and their refpedive Allies, at the fame time
that the peace (Mould be of loch a nature, as to knot, as far as
they could, the future repok of Europe.' The fecund principle
was, a recognition in favour of both powen, of the right of In-
terference and guarantee, both for continental and maritime at.
fain.'

• Such were the bares adoptrd by the &kith Government, and
agreed to by It. It never could have come Into the contemplation
of ids Majelly the Emperor and King, to take for the hafts of the
negotiation the wirlperis. If tuch had been his ideas, he would
have kept Moravia, a part of Hungary, Styria. Carniola, Croa.
tia, the whole of Außria, as weD as Its capital; Teeth and
Flume, and the (holes furrounding them, would be now under his
poorer, as wellas Genoa and Venice. However, Ofnaburgb, and
sU the mouths of the great rivers in the North of Germany,would
be fubjeel to his Empire; and certainly then hi, Majt fly night,
vrithoot any di•culty, leave the Cape, Surinam, Tobago. St.
Luck, Pondicherry, Zee. in the hands of his Britannic Majefty.

As to Sicily, even upon that hypothefis, his Majefty the Fm •
peror and King would not have lett It to his enemies; bat his
Majefty would have thought only that the tongued of that ifland
ought to have preceded the opening of the negotiations ; and while
Pruilba and Rues bloc guaranteed and recognized the changes
which have taken place in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilia, way
it to be prefurned thu teglandtoold have been able to prevent the
congaed of Sicily, which Is only feparated from the Continent by
a canal or Ida than 2003 toifes .

Suppoling even that the Cape and Surinam, and other Dutch
polTeffirms, could be detached definitively feces the kingdom of
Holland, Is it nut certain that its hicorporstbin the French
kmplre would have been the necelfary confrquence; Af the refufal'l
of England to reitore to it its colonies What means would there
be, in feel, to prefervc a nation which had nothing but debts, and
from which the milt abfence of commerce would remove every,
means of payment) Whatever their Excellencies the Pleuipmes-
duties of his Britannic Majelly may alledge, it Is ImPoffible that
they thoald not be convinced, that it is a thing extremely ditfr rent.
for Great Britain to fee the Tele!, and the mouths of the Rhine
and Metfe, fulled to the French cultism-hook laws, and to fee
them fuirjedt to thofe'of the Dutch. Thus, then, without the real.
tution of its colowcs, Holland would, of neccifity, become a pro-
vince of the French F.nipire; for, In accepting the Ctowu Of liol.

" The Underfigned Plenipotentiaries of his Brim.
nit Majefly do not think they fhould allow themfelves
to eater into a detailed confideration of the rfificial
note, which has been fent to them, on the part of
his Excellency General Clarke, dated the Bth of Art-
gull. After the manner in wh;ch the different points
that are the furl of that note. are there treated, it
would be impo ible for them to difcufs them with
that ealmnefs and that regard due to forms, which
the charter with which they are eloathed by their
Sovereign requires. But the (tibial of this note is of
a nature fo general, and fo foreign to the objeft im-
mediately in queftion, that it would be regally oft-
left to take it into confideration. at the prefent time.
" The Underfigned, the Earl of Lauderdale, far
from thinking that the manner of dikuffing in writ.
ing the fundamental point. of a negotiation, can by
any means increafe the difficulty of coming to an
underfianding, thinks, on the contrary, that be al-
ready perceives manifefil proofs of its • utility in this,
that the official note prefented by him fince his arrival
has led the negotiation to an unequivocal iffue, and
has put an end to the mifconceptiont (no doubt real
ones) which have taken place, and which could never
have exilled, if the fame method had been adopted
fince the commencement of the negotiation.
" The Underfigned, the Earl of Yarmouth. fees
himfelf obliged to recur to the manner in whieh it has
been given to be undertiond that he has landed at
Calais, clothed with a public charafter, to treat about
peace. He has only come over to give, in petfon
and viva voce, the anfwer to a communication which
he had been requelled to make to the Englifh Go-
vernment, founded upon the bafi of the ufi pffidetir
film the following words of his Excellency, M. De
Talleyrand : " We demand nothing from you,"
which were accompanied by the pofitive affurance
that the reflitution of his Majetly's German poll-e 1..-
lions would experience no refiftanee. The fame fen-
genera is fobad equally expreted in 'the letter of M.
De Tailwind to Mr. Fox, dated the ill of April :
The Emperor has nothing to. &fire of what Eng-
land podeffes."

ea the Earl of Yarmouth thinks bimfelf equally

of the delay in the negociation, and. of the frequent
intercoorfe by Couriers. Thcatifwers of hit Britan•

them, and in which they again propufe the sdi poji
delis, as the balls of the negoemtion.
/*The French Plenipotentiaries are uncertain \she.
titer they are to fuppofe that it is to follow from the
adoption of this pruaciple that England is to have a
right of exading from the French Government fa
bailiff and bee Alliehall the reflitutions Llte may think
groper to claimpwitbout any obligation on her past to
reflore to France or her Allies, any of the corm/ells
Ike has made from them. This is fo extraordinary
a pretenfion, that it may as well be Paid that France
is to lip whatever the Englift Plenipotentiaries may
think proper to propofe, which we can never fuppofe
to be really the defign of the Englifh Government.
They cannot have fent Plenipotentiaries Cutely for the
purpofe of infifting upon the admifliun of an unde-
fined bags, which would place all the conditions of
the Treaty in their power. In a Hate of things fo ob
fcure, the French Plenipotentiaries require the expla.
nations neceffaty for clearing up and advancing the,
megociation. They comfit" in a declaration of what
cont.:peas England wither to retain ; of the conquers
the is inclined to ream to France and her Allies ;
"and of the conquelle which the is slefirous France
fbould reftore. A fyflem of compenfation would thus
be unfolded which would give a clear idea of the prin•
ciples and intentions of the Btitith Cabinet. The
French Plenipotentiaries will learn what engagement;
they contrail by the adoption of the prcpofed
to which adoption they moil affuredly cannot accede
without comptifing what is required of them.
" Have the Englifh Plenipotentiaries, in laying
down the principles of the utipgruktis, in contempla-
tion to propofe a fyflem of exchange and compenfa•
lion ? If that be the cafe, the Emperor adopts it,
becaufe he finds it conformable to the two principles

his letter of the 26th of laa March, • that it fhould
be the object of both parties that the peace fhould be
honourable for each of them, and for their Allies

tranquillity of Europe.'
