In the note: aloive unmanned, after proptifing ihe points or hales
aria which your Court found tht recognizance of our neutrality,
I and dii.culling wifely the curl- quencts and advantages of each of

Government, as the hafts of this recognizance, the eeflation of all
armaments, and of the fate of prizes brought into the ports of this
kingdom ; of which definitive proporal you add, that yon have no
authority to admit of any modification.

Alt Lonn—i have to acknowledge the receipt of your Lord-
thip's Dilj'atch, No. I, orthe s2ti May ; and though there has out
ye: been time to tatisty the t newt Le which your LordiLip directs
me to nuke, yet your Lordship will fee front the tenour of my
other letters of this dee, the there can be no reafon to appreheu.l
that this Court are tirfpef-.1 to renounce their prefent fyftem of no-
minal neutrality ; and I fhould apprehend that the French Govern-
ment areas little drooled• for the fake of a momentary aleftancet
to exchange an ;ireful tributary for a burdenfilme ally. The ac-
cottuts which I receive from the ports do nut indicate any prepara-
tion on the part of this Government, and Mr. Cevalios' language
is in the (ante tone as hefore,fpealiog of the neutrality of this coun-
try as a thing fettled and admitted, and feemirg to with to lead me

planation.
The o!i:e. of this million fill remains unknown, thought, from
