MISTRACT OF THE DIPLOMATIC cotatsrmoDuct
WHICH TOOK PLACE LAST SUMMER RELATIVE TO
THE ENGLISH MINISTER AT THE COURT OF HESSE
CASSEL.

July 27.
t..—Suhftanee of a Verbal Reprdentntion of this date by the
French Charge d'Affaires to the Eletftoral biliniitry.

" The French Minifter is charged to reprefent to
his Serene H•ghnefs the EleEtor, that his Majcay the
Emperor of France has learned, with great iifplea-
lure, the re-admiffion of Mr. TAYLOR, the Englifh
Minifler, after the faid Minifter had been accufed,
in all the public journals in France and Germany, of
being an accomplice in the confpiracics againft his
Majefty ; and while, on the other hand, nothing
appeared in any one paper in his defence, on ibe
part of the Englifh Miniftry. His Majefty cannot,
therefore, regard the further recognition of the faid
Envoy in any other light than that of an Walt,
which mug diffolve the friendly relations that ban
hitherto fubfifted between the two Courts ; dace his
Majefty cannot permit his Envoys to refide at this
Court with a diplomatic charatier, who is fubjeft to
fuch au accufation. The French Minifter has, in
confequence, received orders to demand, that in
eight or • ten days at the fartheft. Mr. TAYLOR (hall
be ordered to withdraw from the Heffian territory ;
and to reprefent, that his Court mull regard the re-
lufal of this demand as a proof of the tormal exit:
tense of an underftanding with the enemies of
Fiance, and, of courfe, as a declaration of war,
which would juftify him in attaining the objeft of
this application by force of arms. He has, at the
fame time, received inftratioas, in the event of a
refufal, to quit the Heflian territory."

s.—Verbal Rsly of the litedoral Miolfter of State.
,‘ His Serene Highnefs the Eleaor, now abfent at
Nuendorf, did not expelt, after the Reps taken by
him to fatisfy the French Government, that he (horrid
be again applied to in fo urgent a manner upon this
ful,je& ; on the contrary, he conceived bimfelf enti-
tled to hope from itscandour. that it would, at leanshave waited for the refult of the reprefentation re-
cently made by bim to the King of England himfelf.
For the ref, the Elector will return in a few days to
card, when he will in perfon do every thing in his
power to accommodate the prefent Inifunderaanding
with the French Court, with which his Highnefs
wifhes to rennin on a footing of a conftant and fus-
cere friendlhip."

3 —lr:titration from his PmEan Mojeftyto his Amin/dere
Parts, relative to the above fobjefEt.
" His Majefly can fcarcely credit that Mr. Blo-
ssom fhould have been authorized by his Govern-
ment to adopt a meafure fo imperious, and accom-
panied by fuch threats, with refped to his Eledoral
Highnefs ; and Rill left that the Emperor of the
French can have- any -intention of attaching confe.
<peaces fo lesions to the prefent difcuffion, as thofb
which Mr. &aeon has . taken upon himfelf to an-
nounce. His Majefty is the lefs difpofed to give ere.
dit to thofe menaces, as Mr. Browse has refuted to
give any explanation in writing upon this fubjed.—
His Majefty, therefore, gives it in charge to his Mi-
nifter at the Court of his Majefly the Emperor of
the French, to reprefent9 in the molt energetic and
urgent terms, that no Sovereign Court can permit
kali, at the pleafure of another, to send away a Nli-
nifter accredited to it from a third Court, unlefs fa-
tisfadory proofs are fubmitted to it of the latter hav-
ing &dually violated the Law of nations. Such proofs
have not yet been produced in the cafe of Mr. fay-
LOR ; and this is the more deferring of obfervation,
as the French Goiernment has itfelf, on this oeca-
lion, omitted thole proceedings which it adopted in
regard to the Courts of Munich and Stutgard, to
which it haftened to communicate thole documents
that were to furnifh grounds for the removal of Mr.
DRAZI and Mr. SPINCIIR SMITH. Let it only be
confidered what would become of the diplomatic
character, and the relations between Rates, if forms
fo ancient, cuftomary, and confeerated by the ob.
fervance of centuries, were to be laid aide. His Ma.
jelly empowers his Ambafador to demand, that Mr.
&aeon (hall forthwith retract his demand with re-
gard to Mr. Taysoa ; to acquaint the French Mi.
nifiry that his Majefty cannot calmly look on and
fee the flighteft meafure of hoftility exercifed with
refped to his relative and friend the Elector ; and to
reprefent that fuch a proceeding would violate all
the relations which fuhfill between Pruflia and
France, with which his Majeßy vintes to maintain a
good onderftanding—a with which he has anxioufly
embraced every opportunity of expreffing. He will
further reprefent,that the French Government would
be acting in oppofition to its own interefte, and
wholly in favour of thole of its enemy, Ihould it, by
filch a line of condua, provoke new hoftilities on the
Continent."

4.—Note from the French Envoy. dated the s9th of July.
This document repeats the demand that Mr. Tar-
Loa thould be no longer recognized at the Eleetoral
Court ; and that he thould be fent out of the HetEars
territory within eight or ten days, adding, that its
cafe of non-compliance, Mr. Biomost would immedi-
ately quit Caffel. •

S. Reply of the Eledtoral Minifter, dated theath of Aura.
.6 His Serene Highnefs the Eleaor, on the Cub-
jed of the demand of the French Emperor, has to
reply, that he has renewed his reprefentations to the
B,itifh Miniftry, and further, that he has written a
letter to the King of England with his own band.
As his Pruflian Majefty,however, has now engaged
to mediate with the French Court in this affair, the
refult of his proceedings may be expelled in the
courfe of a Ahem time. Befides, Mr. TAYLOR is now
abfent from Caffel, and his place of refidence is not
known."
