Nil:,
In the fourth paragraph it is wished tit the
ber of eight thousand Hanoverian: to be old
for eight thousand French, be altered to that of
thousand, as stated in the project, which will
sion a total exchange of seventeen thousand
v eri Ins who have capitulated, for less than Lao
number.

The undersigned, on condition that these a,
tinns be Admitted, is authorised to .ign the;
project. The alterAtions are founded on a pito
from which France cannot depart, that of cilium;
to the rher,ation of the great mess of English
soners, in proportion to the mass of French
so liberated.

The principle is that which has always been
min ;ed, and particularly in 1780, when, to pin, I
object, the excess of French prisoners was m L.
ransom in money.

England being unable to refuse acceding to at,
change of prisoners, including the Han,,veriAts,
tuguese, and Spaniards, admits the pi iucipie ; 40.4
that state of the question, she cannot deny the jr
of an exchange, man for man, and rank fur rank
This mode of proceeding will establish very,
a general and immediate exchange of all me
and all the English prisoners. The Spaniards the
may afterwards remain in France, and the Allies,'
the French that may be in England, may be inch(
under the 6th and following article.
Mr. Mackenzie will observe, from the stmt
of this answer, that it has ra.)t. been a subject
cussion at Paris; it is conformable to all that
dersigned has hitherto said in the discussiiina t
have taken place, that if England only wishes a p
tial exchange, the negociatron may be considen
retrograde and broken off ; but if she wishes it
earnest a general exchange, it is imposdble
ceive`any reason to preyent her adopting the eel; of removing all doubts.
The Undersigned can only here repeat that es
French Government will never consent to give 'vex
English prisoner' that are in their power fora pat
only of French that are in possession of England, old
to leave the other part without guarantee in the hands
of the British Government.

SlR—The determination of the French Corer&
ment, thus repeated, to adhere to the reject on ir( the
first proposition of the British Governmort, prev:nts
the accomplishment of the general liberation of at
the prisoners of war, and compels me, in cemplian '
with my instructions, to demand that you will ha
the goodness to provide for me the necessary ps
ports for my immediate return to England. Iha

Morlaix, October 16,1810,
hereby answer your letter of the Bth int,
in which you say that we add the unexpected obstacle
of loading the British Government with the arrange.
anent of the expense and difficulties attending de
conveyance of the Spanish prisoners, kc. Thi-
SertiOn is not exactly true, and I am directed at

to repeat to you what I have always hitherto hat
honour of stating, that any question respecting monei
will never prove an obstacle to the French Govern.
ment, and that it will never be behind on any sub.
ject of this nature. The British Government may
determine as it pleases : to all its wishes France will
give her assistance, provided that, in consequence
the principle admitted in 1780, the exchange be nude
en masse, and that all the French shall return to their
own country at the same time that the English shag
return to theirs. This condition is, and from the fug
day of negotiation must have been, the " sine gin
non." Every other consideration can only be regarded
as matter of conciliation. It is the fourth time, Sr,
that I have the honour of repeating to you the deter•
ruination of my Government. (Signed)

Sir—The letter which I had the honour of writin;
yon on the 16th instant, must have fully consigeett
you of the desire with which my Government his
been uniformly animated, of removing, by all the
sacrifices in its power, the difficulties started by Eng•
land against the carrying int• effect a general ex-
change, which must necessarily liberate, At the same
time, on both sides, the great bulk of the prisoners of
war.

You will, without doubt, do me the justice, Sir,
that en my part I have always seconded, AS maul as
was in my power, the conciliatory dispositiin3fTuf
i
Government. I again give yost another proof of t in
consenting to divide the question with you respecting
the Itanoverians, and in only asking 6000 French ia-
stead of 8000, in exchange of 17,000 Hanovei:ans,
comprised in the capitulation of Field-Marshal Coul.t
Waltnoden.—l have the honour to be, &c.
