EXTRACTS
FROM THE OFPICI4 CORRESPONDENCE DURING
THE NEGOCIATION.
" Paris, February sr, 110 j.

a Mr Loaf—My laft difpatch, in which I gape
year Lordfhip an account of my conference with
M. de TALL tra•rn, was fcarccly gone, when I
recved a Note from him, informing me that the
Fast Coastit wilted to converfe with me, and
defired I would come to him at the ThuiDefies at
mine o'clock. He received me its his Cabinet, with
tolerable cordiality, and, after talking on different
!Uhler: for a few minutes, he defircd me to fit
down, asahc hirnfelf did on the other fide of the
table, and began..—He told me, that he felt it
necefftry, after what had pallid between me and
M. de TALLEYRAND, that be fhould, in the molt
clear and authentic manner, make known his foul-
ments to me in order to their being communicated
►o his Islattsry ; and he conceited this would be
Wait etTeEtually done by himfelf thou through any
mediup►
nkohatever. He cad, that it was a matter
of infinite difappnintment to him, that the Treaty
of Amiens, infte,,d of being followed by concilia•
tion and friendfhip, the natural effethe of Peace,
had been produttive only oi,continual and increa-
fing jcalo;ay and miftruft ; and cluLt this miftruft
was now arowed In fuck a manna is mutt bring
the point to an ;flue.

of He now enumerated the feveralprovocatiness
intact: he pn:tendek: to have received from Eng-
land. He placed in the Ertl line our not evacuat-
inylta hind Alciandvia, at. we were tniund to
tin by tre;tly. In this he laid that no ccutfideration
on emit. thould make him acquicfce ; and of the
twn he had rather fee us in polliffinn of the Faux-
trinrg Sr. Antoine than nalte. He tlica asivcrtsa

to the ahufe thrown ont againa him in the Eng-
li(h Public Prints ; but this. he laid, he did not In
much regard .v that which appeared in the French
Papers publithed in London. This he confidered
as much more mifchievous, fince it was meant to
excite this country againa him and his Govern-
tnent. He complained of the prntefihm given to
Georges and others of his deft ription, who, inflead
of being fent to Canada, as had been repeatedly
prornifed, were permitted to remain in England,
handfomely penliosed, and conaantly committing
all forts of crimes on the coatis of France, as well
as in the interior. In confirmation of this, be told
me, that two men had within thefe few days been,
apprehended in Normandy, and were now on their
way to Paris, who were bited air:tains, and em-
ployed by the Bang. of Atlas, by the Baron de
ROLLS, by Gsmacss, and by DUTHEIL, as would
14 fully proved in a Court of Juaice, and made
known to the world.

6, He acknowledged that the irritation he felt
againft England increafed daily, becaufe every
wind (1 make ufe as much as I can of his own ideas
and expreftion s ) which blew from England brought
nothing but enmity and hatred againft him.
ie He now went back to Egypt, and told me,
that if he had felt the fmalleft inclination to take
poffeffion of it by force, he might have done it a
month ago, by tending twenty-five thoufand men
to Aboukir, who would have polkaed themfelves
of the whole country in defiance of the four thou-
land Bikini in Alexandria. That inflead of that
garrifon being a means of proteeling Egypt, it was
only fitrnifhing him with a pretence for invading
it. 7 his hefhould not do, whatever might be his defire
to hove it eie a Celony, beraiefe he rid not think it worth
the rill ofa war, in which he might, perhaps, be confider-
' ea'ar the aggreyfar, and by which hefhoode kJ; more than
he could:aim, fence fooner or dater Egypt would belong to
France, either by the falling to pierce of the Turigi
Em-
pire, or by forte arrangement with the Porte,
s' As a proof of his defire to maintain peace, he
wifhed to know what he had to gain by going to
war with England ? A detcent was the only means
of offence he had. and that he was determined to
attempt, by putting nimfelf at the head of the ex-
pedition. But bow could it be fuppofed, that after
having gained the height on which he flood, he
would rills his life and reputation in fuch a hazar-
dous attempt, unlefs forced to it by neceffity, when
the chances were that he and the greateft part of
the expedition would go to the bottom of the lea.
He talked much on this fuhjeft, but never affected
to diminith the danger. He acknowledged that
there were one hundred chances to one againft
him ; but Rill he was determined to attempt it, if
war fhould be the coolequence of the prefent
cuQiun; and that fuch was the dilpofition of the
troops, that army after army would be found for
the enterprise.
" He then expatiated much on the natural force
of the two countries. France, with an army of
four hundred and eighty thoufand men, for to this
amount, it is, he laid, to be immediately compleated, all
ready for the molt delperate enterprises; and
England with a fleet that made her iniftrefs of the
fees, and which he did not think he fkould be able
to equal in lefs than ten years. Two fuch coun-
tries by a proper underßanding might govern the
world, but by their flrifes might overturn
He laid, that if he had not felt the enmity of the
Britifh Government on every occafion fince the
Treaty of Amiens, there would have been nothing
that he would not have done to prove his deftre to
conciliate; participation in indemnities as well as
in influence op the Continent ; treaties of comr
coerce, in lbort, any thing that could have given
fatisfatioo, and have teflified his friendllsip. No-
-1 thing, however. bad been able to conquer the
hatted of the Britifh Government, and, therefore,
is was now come to the point, whether we gtould
have peace or wart To prelim pease. the
Treaty of Amiens moll be fulfilled ; the abufe
in the public Prints, if not totally fuppreted,
at lull kept ',titbit; bounds, and confined to
the PAO& Papers ; and the protation fo
openly give* to'bis bins:well enemies (alluding to
Georges and pertains of that defeription) mull be
withdrawn. If war, it was neceifory only to fay fo,
sad to refuftt to fulfil the Treaty. He now made
the tow of Europe to prove to me, that io its pre-
fent Rate, there was no power with which we could
coalefce for the purpofe of making war spina
France; confeemently it was our interefl to gain I
time, and if we had any point to gain, vetiew\the
war when circumtlances were more favourable.
He Paid, it was not doing him juflice to fuppofe,
that he conceived Mint-elf above the opinion of his
country or of Europe. He would not rifle uniting
Enropeagainft him by any violent at of aggreZcm ;
neither was he fo powerful in France as to perfuade
the nation to go to war unlefs on good grounds.
He Paid, that he had not chailifed the Algerines,
from his uowillinguefs to excite the jealoury of
other powers, but lie hoped that England, Ruffs,'
and France would one day feel that it was their
interelt to defiroy fuch a ilea of tineves, and force
Them a() live rather by cultivating their land than
by plunder.

In the little 14:4 to him, for he ptve me :9

the coin fe of two hours but very few opportunities
of ftyinga word, I confined myfelf thkrly to tli
tenor of your Lordlhip's inartglions. I urged them
in the fame manner as I had done to M. us TaL•
LETRAhP, and dwelt as Ilrongly as I could on the
fenfation which the publication of SEBA%TIANI'S
report had created in England, where the view.
of France towards Egypt mull alway; command
the utmoft vigilance ancdjealoufy. He maintained
that what ought to convince us of his &lire of
Peace, was on the one hand the little he had to
gain by renewing the war, and on the other the
facility with which he might have taken poffetlion
of Egypt with the very (hips and troops which
were now going from the Mediterranean to St.
Domingo, and that with the approbation of all
Europe, and more particularly of the Turks, who
had repeatedly invited him to joili with them for
the purpofe of forcing us to evacuate thvir terri-
tory.

4. I do not pretend to follow the arguments of
the noisy Cowsut. in detail; this would be impof-
fible, from the vaR variety of matter, which he took
occafion to introduce. His purpofe was evidently
to convince me that on Malta met depend peace
or war, and at the fame time to imprefs upon
my mind a bong idea of the means he poffeffed of
annoying us at home and abroad.
" With regard to the miftruft and jealouly
which he Paid conftantly prevailed fince the con-
demn of the Treaty of Amiens, I obferved that
after a war of filch long duration, fo full of ran-
cour, and carried on in a manner of which hif-
tory has no example, it was but natural that a
confiderable degree of agitation lhould prevail ;
but this, like the fwell after a form, would gradu-
ally fubfide, if not kept up by the policy of
either party; that I would not pretend to pro.
nounce which had been the aggreffor in the paper
1 war of which he complained, and which was
Rill kept up, though with this difference, that in
England it was independent of Covet nment, and
in France its very at and deed. To this I added,
that it mull be admitted that we had ft,ch motives
of mittruft againfl France as could not be alledged
agairdi us, and I was piing to ;eland; the acceffion
of territory and influence gained by France Dace
the treaty, when he interrupted me by laying, I hip-
pole you mean Piedmont and Switzerland; " ce
font des bagatelles :" and it mull have been fore-
leen whilf the negotiation was pending; ',your n'a-
vet pas le droit d'en parler a cette heure." I then
alledged as a caufe cf miltruft and ofjealoufy, the
impollibility of obtaining junice or any kind of re-
drefs for any °lbis Majelly's fubjets. Hq eked
me in what refpee : and I told him that fince the
figning of the Treaty, not one Britifh Claimant
had been fatisfied, although every Frenchman
of that defeription had been fo within One
Month after test period ;—and that fince I had
been here, and I could fay as much of my prede•
celfors, not one fatisfthory anfwer had been
obtained to the innumerable reprefentations which
we had been under the neceflity' of making, in ,
favour of Britith SubjeCts and property detained
in the fever-el ports of Fiance and eltewhere, with-
out even a flaidow of jullice :—Ruch an order
of things, I laid, was nut made to infpire cone
dence ; but, on the contrary, mutt create mitkruft.
This, he laid, mutt be attributed to the natural
ditieulties attending fuch fuits, when both parties
thought thernCelves right ; hut he denied that loch
delays could proceed from any difinclination to do
what was jolt and right. With regard to the pen•
lions which were granted to French or Swift indi-
viduals, I obferred that they were given as a re-
ward for paft Cervices during the war, and moll
certainly not for prefent ones, and fill left for fuch
as bad been inenuated, of a nature repugnant t o
the feelings of every individual in England, and
to khe univerfally acknowledged loyalty and ho-
nour of the Britith Government, That as for ahy
participation of indemnities, or other acceflions
which His Majarrr might have obtained, I could
take upon myfelf to aline bin) that His May Lars,' s
ambition led him rather to preferve than to ac.
quire. And that with regard to the molt propiti-
ous moment for renewing hollilities, Ills Ma-
Jerry, whole ()were &Gm it was to continue
the Bleffings of Peace to his fuhje&s, would
always confider fuch a meafure as the greatea
calamity; but that if Has Maissir was fo
defirous of Pwe, it met not be imputed to the
difficulty of obtaining Allies; and the leis fo, ;.
thole means which it might be neceffary to afford
fuch Allies, for perhaps inadequate fervices, would
all be concentrated in Eogland, and gire a pro-
portionate increafe of energy to ottr own exertions.
" At this part of the converfation he role from
his chair, and told me that he flioild give orders
to General Atinalossi to enter on the di:cid:Goa
of this buGnefs with your Liarellkip 4 but he wiCred
that j (hould at the fame time be made acquainted
with his motives, and convinced of his fineerity
rather from hinsfelf than from his Minifers.—
He then, afters converstion of two hours, during
the greateß part of which he talked hied:randy,
marrerfed for a few moments an indifferent fub-
' jets, in apparcg snoci bumour, and TO: od,

" Such was ready, as i can recollea,

1, A Colonel in the Englifts army has publifled
a work in England, filled wi,h the molt atrocious
and difgutling calumnies agAinft the Ft cnch army
and its General. The Liss it contains hare beta
contradifted by the reception which Colonel SE-
BASTIAN' experienced. The publicity of his report
was at once a refutation and a reparation which
the French army had a right to exp.:Zt. On hie
arrival in Egypt, this officer, to his great Aonifb-
merit, found the Englifh army there, al:hough they
fhould have evacuated it, and the Turks prodigi.
oully alarmed at the •.-ontinuance of the Englith
army, and at its relations with the native, in rebel-
lion and open revolt againtl the Sublime Porte.
" He mutt have conceived that the treatieswinch

guaranteed to it the integrity of its poffe Mons. cum-

was natural to think that England meant to de-

not reduced to fuch a flare of debatement as to
