I had the honour to fend by M. de Longuinoff dir-
patches, acquainting you, for his Majesty's informa-
tion, of the peace figned between the Ruffian and
French Plenipotentiaries, and with as untrue a
datement of the terms as I was able to obtain.—
M. D'Oobril himfelf let oat for Petulhurgh on the
morning of the 2:d.
On the and I received the Official Notification of
the appointment of General Clarke to treat on the
part of France (a Copy of which I have the honour
to enclofe, marked A.) preceded by a private com-
munication from M.Talleyrand, laying that the Rol
flan Peace being figned, and the feaEn of the year
f mumble to the accomplifhment of the ulterior
views of France, no arrangement which might re.
move for fome weeks, or even months, a Definitive
Treaty could oow take place.
I anfwered the Official Note (marked A) with one,
a Copy of which I enclofe (marked B.)
In the evening, General Clarke propofed a confe-
rence for the following morning, at which we fhould
mutually exchange our full powers. We accordingly
did fo ; and I have the honour to enclofe (marked
C.) a copy of thole of General Clarke.
This conference began by an hiflorical recapitula-
tion of what had previoufly paired, General Clarke
toying, he had not yet received his final inftrudions
on all the different points in difcuffion ; it was there.
fore agreed to adjourn the conference to this day,
when each Mould come prepared with a memoran-
dum of the intentions of his Government, founded on
What had already paled; General Clarke at the fame
time declaring, that a feparate peace with RuTha was,
to be confidered equal or fuperior, in the prefent eir-,
cumflanees of the world, to any great feccefs in war,
and confequently as entitling France to terms much
more advantageous than thole to whic;i die would
have fubfcribed louse days ago. This was accompa•
nied by Come animadverfroas upon the conduit of
Ruflia, to which I could only anfwer, that I felt it my
duty Wald:lain from any remark, and Could, there-
fore, hie. entirely talent upon the (tibial ; but that I
could Ware him, that if an intention exided of mak.
ing any change in the great points upon which we
had had fuch•pofirive, though certainly not official
affurances, namely, his Majesty's German dominions,
Malta. and the Cape, I mull confider the negotiation
as flopped is Graise,and that there would remain only
for me to return to England, and acquaint the King,
that no peace, confident with his Majesty's honour, or
that of the country, could be made. General Clarke
reverted to his want of lußindrußions, and promifed
to meet me properly prepared, the next day.
At three o'clock this day, I again met General
Clarke, when I read a paper, a Copy of which I have
the honour to enclofe (marked D.) containing the
Abdraft of what 1 had always dated to be the balls
and terms on which his Majedy could alone content
to treat. I did not, however, deliver it to him, con.
fidering it merely as the heads of pail converfations.
General Clarke then raid, that as it was irhpoffibla
I could be prepared with the alert of his Moja,' to
the arrangement propofed by Rada for his Sicilian
Majelly, on which the terms might much depend, I,
mutt confider the communication be made as not
fiddly official in point of form, lout as depending
only on that circumlldnce to make it fo.
General Clarke proceeded to (late, that, in the fits..
ation France was in at this moment, the Emperor
would feel authorized to withlo.ld Come of the great
points ; but that having repeatedly laid the contrary,
though not in an official manner, he would abide by it.
General Clarke firfl converfed about his Majesty's
German dominions. On this fubjee, by ferret articles,
any thing his Majetly thinks right may be fiipulated :
by the public article, the promife not to objelt to
Tome acqiiiiition of territory to be made by Proffitt.
I ftoppeo General Clarke here to fay, that his Ma.
jelly never could content to the King of Pruffia's ob.
raining the Heide Towns. General Clarke Paid, that
it was Fulda, Hoye, and Come other trifling mined.

not be meddled with.

Your Lordikip'sDifpitches conveying themortify-

terday ; and his Majefty's Minifters havelinee had
the opportunity of being acquainted with the precife
term* of that treaty, which it appears had Mart in all
refpeas been accurately reprefented to your Lordfhip.
The King was molt particularly Bruck with the
great difference which was perceived beteicen the ac-
teal arrangement 'made refpxiling Sicily; and that
which had been defcribed to ydur Lordfhip.
In writing to your Lordfhip, it is not neeeffary to
dwell onthe humiliating conditions to which M. d'Ou.
bril has thought proper to bind his Sovereign. Of
that Minifler's tnifeondua your Lordlblp appears
fully friable ; and I doubt not you exerted yowl&
to the utmoft to prevent it. When this was found
impradicable, your Lordfhip was naturally placed in
circumftances of confiderable difficulty, and for which
every allowance is to be made. But it is neceffary
for me to fay, frankly, that it would nn the whole
have been more fatisfadory to the King's krvants, if
your Lordfhip had waited to know the impreffion
which this new event might create here, before you
had produced your full powers.
It was originally declared by your Lordflip to M.
Talleyrand, that your full powers were not to be pro-
duced till the French Government fhoold have re.
vetted to the balls of the negociation originally pro.
poled by themfelves ; that of the adpaWr .univer-
filly, with the tingle exception of Hanover. By Cub•
fequent inareflions, your Lordfhip had indeed been
acquainted that, 3n compliance with the with, fo
•ftrongly expreffed by the Ruffian negotiator at Paris,
his Mala would not refute to enter into the confe-
deration of' fuck propofals as might be made to him
for a fair equivalent to be given to Lis Sicilian Ma.
jetty in lieu of Sicily, with the full and free content of
that Monarch. The propofal of (uch an equivalent,
and its acceptance by his Majelly's Govetnnient,
would have replaced the negociation on its original ,
footing, that of a ste)tdidetir, to he departed from only
by mutual content, in thole caftarwhere any exchange
for a reafnnable equivalent might meet the Ideas of
both parties ; and the cafe for the produftion of your
Lordlhip's full powers would thus have arifen clearly
and unequivocally. Even as the matter now Rands,
it does not certainly preclude difeuffion. But this
might have been continued unofficially. And it is
apprehended that, by producing your powers on the
very day after the fignature of the Ruffian Treaty,
an impreffion may have been created very unfavour-
able to the further progrefs of the negociation.
In the fituation to which the b iifinell is now
brought, his Mildly thinks is necaffary to lute no
time in taking every proper ftcp for replacing the dif-
cuflions between the two Countries on their original
footing.
The &II propofals made by France were, that a
Plenipotentiary &paid be fent from hence with full
powers to treat, and to conclude a feparate peace with
France and her Allies. Thle was declined here,,not
from any unwillininefs to enter into difenffions for
peace on jolt and honourable terms, an objeft which
his Majelly has uniformly minted himfelf do .tous
of accomplithing, but becaufe the King was bound by
eetpiresnenta te gait whidl precluded him from

treating otheterik than in concert with that power.'
Subfesnently to this. a propofal was conveyed through
your Lardfhip for the concluGun of peate oa the bails
fo often refilled to; and the iatermedlate eonimuni-
catioas received from Ruffs enabled this Majefty.
confillently with good faith. to entertain thole pro-
pofals, and to exprefs his difpofition to accede to
them, provided that, in the mode of treating and con-
cluding, the moll intimate concert fhould Anil be
maintained with Ruffia.
The extraordinary Rep taken by M. d'Oubril has
now removed all neceffity of further referee on this
His Ma jelly, in this Rate of things, thinks it proper
to combine together the two propofals which be has
at different periods received from France ; and, as
the difficulty. which before prevented the fending from
this country a public Minifter, openly accredited. to
treat for peace, now no longer fubfifts. and as an ac-
ceptable balls of negociation has been propored to him
by the enemy, his Majefty dir ells. that your Lordlaip
thould apply to M. Talleyrand for paffports for a
public Minifter fo authorifed and itecredited,to whom,
it is his Majefty's gracious intention to join your Lord-
flip, in the full powers to be ranted by his Majefty.
The great advantages which the King's ferviee
will derive from the employment of a perfon fully
inftrutled as to the. fentiments of his Majefty's Go.
vernment, on all the various points of dircuffion that
may arife, cannot Fail to ftrike your Lordthip in the
fame light in which they are Peen here • and the
King's fervants entertain no doubt of your Lordfliip's
zealous and hearty co-operation in the execution of
the joint inflruaions which fuch a perfop will bring
with him. I have only, therefore, to add. that
your Lordthip may allure M. Talleyrand, that as
loon as the neceffary paffports are received, there
(ball not be an hour's delay in his letting out • and
that his Majefty's government continues ardently to
with for the conclution of peace, provided it can be
accomplilbed on the fame grounds of national honour
which have never been loft fight of here.

Letters were yefterday received at the India Moore,
brought by an American veffel. They are dated 28th
July, and (late that a very dilagretable affair occur-
red at Vetlore, fhortly before the letters wets dit:
patched. A battalion of Sepoyr, in confequence, it
is fuppofed, of a quarrel about fome women, fell up.
on the 16th Regiment of Native Infantry, and put
every man to death, including two Officers, Major
CHAT Las Aam mow°, and another. Immediately
after this bloody outrage, a Regiment of Cavalry
was fent•for to Arcot, which battened to attack the
Sepoys, to whom no quarter was given, nor did the
Dragoons think their vengeance complete, until every
one of the guilty battalion were facrificed.
We have the fatisfaaion to (tate, that this unPlea-
rant affair did not originate in any fpirit of difaffec-
tiott to the Government.

We yelerday kited, that a Meffenger had arrived
with difpatches for Government in the veffel which
brought the Lilbon Mall. The difpatches were from
Lord'Sv as maroart, and are reported to have brought
a communication of force kind, whi:h had been re-
ceived carets by his Lordibip from the Court of
Madrid. The eircumftance of the Meffenger hav-
ing been difpatched in the Dart, of Jerfey, a very
(pick failing veffel, inftead of one of the regular
packets, gave rife to various rumours in the City,
none of which deferve notice, as the contents of the
difpatches have not been (offered to tranfpire.
Some private letters from Cadiz, of the Both
and (rein Madrid of the 3d infant, mention, that the
reports of the recapture of Buenos Ayres continued
to prevail in both thefe cities. The report, however,
receives no credit in London. His Majefly's (hip
Relsonasca arrived at Rio Janeiro on the :6th of
Auguft, from Rio de la Plata, at which time no at.
tempt had been made to recapture Buenos Ayres by
the Spaniards, or to take Monte Video by the Britilb.
The Spanill Government Rill• continued to recruit
its forces, and the report at Madrid was, that the
army, when completed, was intended to ad againft
France. Pains, however,. were taken by the Go-
vernment to remove that impreffion. Letters from
Seville, of the 19th ult. Rite, in pofitive terms, that
the French Officers there made no !keret of declaring
that a rupture was on the eve of taking place between
France and Spain ['and that, in confequence, it was
their intention to return home immediately, but that
they fhould Coon pay their old friends a v lilt again,
upon a different footing.
