It is diffieult to conceive, that uptiti hal lb au-
thentic. and of loch high importance, the Englifla
Government tbould have dared to hazard to iUny
folk affections. Accufed, by the opinion of EtiiiiPes
of having prolonged the war, it now wiffies tots:move
this odious refponlibility but the ails of Ali 'then
agents amide it, and its affertioes are belied bp•ihe
fiats. Hit MaJelty only wißies to enfwer by'ptitabc-
ing all the documents of this negotiation, froth *flick
his love of peace had made him hope a better relish.
It is falfe that the French Govenunent snide.
before the negotiation, any of thofe overtures or offers
which the declaration fuppofes. All thole fuppofitions
have been conliantly denied during the condo of the
negotiation by his Majefty's Minilter. It is falfedlat
the French Government has adopted the pretended
balls Rated in the declaration, or that his •Brigatitics
bilajelly refereed to hiisfelf, before entering into she
negotiation, the principle that be could sot treat, ez-
cept in concert with his Allies. •

It wJI be eafy to convince one's•felf, by the aevers
of the Minifter of Foreign Affairs to Mr. Fox,-and
efpecially by that of Number 6, that if the Engilfb
Cabinet had kept to this refervatiern, the Negoelation
would never have been opened. It would Iveletfy
to convince one's fell by the text of the full Polite
given to Lord Yarmouth, and more evidently Riff by
the mural of Lord Lauderdale's Letter, No. 13,
that before commencing the Negociation, the Englilk
Cabinet bad entirely and irrevocably defined font its
pretinfion of treating in enujuttaion withiti Allies.
How dares a Government let itfelf fo publicly in
ionsradidinn to itfelf ?
The expolition of the fags which will now be Rated,
is not like the Declaration of the King of England. a
publication rahly hazarded, and which claims belief
upon its bare tiatement. It is lupported by all th.:
documents of the Negociation which fhall follow this
Ratement.

In the month of February, in the prefect year.
there was opened between the two Powers a direct
negociatiou from Cabinet to Cabinet. It began under
favourable apipices : and in referring to that epoch,
we have p!eafttre iu recofteaing a trait worthy of the
noble tharaSer of the Minifler that England has loft.
A letter from Mr. Fox to his.Highnefs the Prince of
Benevento, informed him that a patron had prefentei
himfelf to him, and had offered to make as attempt
on the life of the Emperor (fee this letter, sad the
anfwet of the Prince, No. t and 2).
The bates of the negotiation werethen eftablifieffin
the letters that the two Miaifters focceffively wrote;
and after di(cullioos, which were frank, and flipport-
ed with that tone of bier!franse (propriety) which was
fuitable to the Minillers of two great Powers, it was
'greed that the two following principles Ihould be
adopted as the bale of the negociatiea--: N. That the
two States lhould have for common °bight. that. the
Team &mild be hononiable for them and their relpee-
taVe Allies: at the fame time, that ialioald beef an s.
Lure to fecure, as far as poffrhie, the (mute rep ne
ist9pc—ad. That it timid be achmewlogeS in

favour of both Powers, that they fhould have evert
right of interference and guarantee, both rerpeatug
the affairs of the Continent, and about maritime
affairs. (See Nos. 3 and 8). It is to thofe princi-
ple% fe declared in the notes of the two Milliners,
that the French Government (imply and conflantly
referred.
Lord Yarmouth came to Paris : be prefented full
powers, end the negociation went on direaly to its
°boa. It is not true, as is advanced in the declara-
tion cif his Britannic Majefty, that the Cabinet of the ,
Teethe* (which is not fo unlkilled as to treat with
Mintier. without powers) found the powers of Lord
Yarmouth infufficient. The form of his powers were
the Cams as thole of Doke of Manchefter, in 1763,
and the authorization was (Lill more complete and
extenfive. (See Nos. and t 2.)
But the !(See
of London found, that the proses('
aflbedikulfion was too rapid : it feared that it would

defter the fame title, a (mind Mlnifter Plenipoten-
atm and loon it left him alone, prefcribing to him
to wait is an apparent negotiation for the part which
Latta woad take arson the treaty which had been
• jut negotiated and concluded at Paris in its name.
They dare to affert, in the declaration of his Bri-
tannic Majefly, that M. D'Oubril had not powers to
tom, and that his Majelly the Emperor and King
hisimsetie is in that treaty, which, if they'
tad been fu fil ed, would have produced' 'peace ha-
taten the two Courts. The perufal of the full
poems, and of the treaty re Nos. 39 and so) will
felficiestly anfwer that treat
e allegation.
Frante has not committed the fault of failing in
the execution of the engagements of the treaty which
'ffse had made with Raffia, but fie has been wrong in
fulfilling them with too much confidence and pied-
phonics. Hardly had the peace been lived, when

To that time every thing had been agreed upon.—
Rua and England had treated feparatsly. and
Prance had no other object than that of fimplifying
the difeettons which might bring about a tailing re-'
coneihstion, in refuting to admit that thofe two
powers fhould negotiate in ooncert, and that interells
Aould be confounded together, which were in their
nature effentially /Mine.
The treaty with !Leiria was-made' the negociation

den. That Power law itfelf able to conclude peace
upon conditions that were advantageous, as it was to
beep Malta and the Cape of Good Hope.
'Ufelefs *as the moderatiqn of his Imperial and
Royal Welly Mr. Fox fell tick: he ceafed to at.
tend at the Council : the fatlion which is honile to
peace prevailed, and changed every thing. Lind
Lauderdale came to Paris, the Negotiation way im.
imethately complicated, and took a retrograde courfe.
One cannot eroid the fufpicion that be came for the
purport of breaking and that they had chofen him
as a friend of Mr. Fox, in order to throw upon the
partisans otthat iftultrious Minifter all the odium of
the rupture. Mr. Fox would have eafily dinipated
this intrigue, hut he was on the point of death. Lord
Lauderdale, accoltomed to follow Come leader, no
lenge: diffembled the define he had to find one in
the oppofite party, and to kin himfelf to other prin-
ciple.. His tone was in unifon with his new views:
All hi. letter,, all the anfeers of Government (fee
Si 14. If, 16, 17, 18, 19, so, 11, 22. 33, 24, as,
..211. 37, ) prove how far his Imperial and Royal
'bfaietly fought for the re-enahlithment of peace, by
the long patience • ith which his Miniller bore fo
many rudeneffes and Cu many (allies of paffion. His
Weny would not facrifice to irritation the moll dif
Wit hope of reconciliation between the two Powers.
Neretthelefs, England, while following this A rinse
negociation, fought on all fides to fir up enemies

to elude, by all the means of lying and bad faith, she

" The information that your Excellency has given
me of the pacific difpofition of your Government,
have induced me to fix particulatly the attention of
the King on that part of your Excellency's letter.
" His Majefly has declared, more than once, to
his Parliament, his fincere deltic of embracing the
fiat opportunity of re-eltablifhing peace upon folid
biles, which may be reconciled with the interefts and
pet manent fecurity of his people.
" His difpofitions are always pacific ; but it is to
a Pure and !ailing peace that his Majelly looks, and
not to a truce, uncertain, and on that account Isaraf-
ling both to the Castrating Parties, and to the reit
of Europe.
" As to the flipulations of the treaty of Amiens,
which might be propoled as the baits of the negoci-
aticsn, it has been remarked that this phrafe may be
interpreted in three or tour different ways; and that,
confequently, farther explanations would become ne-
cetTary, which could not fail to carafe a great delay,
even although there fhould be no other objeetions.
" 'The true baits of fuch a negotiation between
two great powers, who equally difklain every degree
of chicanery, ought to be a reciprocal acknowledg-
ment, on both fides, of the following principles :
that it ought to be the objeet of the two parties, that
the peace fhould be honourable for both of them, and
for their refpeetive Allies ; and, at the fame time, of
a nature to fccure, as far as it is in their power, the
future repofe of Europe-
" England cannot negled the interefls of any of
her Allies ; and Ilse finds herfelf united to Ruffia by
fuch dote ties, that the would not wills to treat, much
left to conclude any thing, except in concert with
the Emperor Alexander: bat in the waiting the
actual intervention of a Ruffian Plenipotentiary, it is
Bill poftlble to difcufs, and even to arrange, provi-
fionally, Come of the principal points.
" It might teem that Ruffia, on account of the
diflance of her pofition, has lefs immediate interefts
than other Powers to difcufs with France ; but this,
Court, on every account fo worthy of refpea,interetla
itfelf, like England, in a lively manner, refpating
every thing which concerns the fituatton, more or
lefr independent, of the different Princes and flutes
of Europe.
" You fee, Sir, how we are difpofed here to
fmooth all the difficulties which alight retard the
'ffifeuffion in queftion. It is nor, affuredly, that we,
with the refnurces we poffiefs, have to fear the con-
thimance of the war for any thing which regards us.
The Englith nation is. of all Europe, that which (of-
