mercial freedom of Hamburger and Lu.

Sardinia, and the exigencies and diRres,o
which Portugal is reduced, with many
other points OF an important nature. This

Article I. All hoNiEtics, both by ica
and land, between the forces of the two
contracting parties fnall be iufpendcd, and

notice given of the termination of the ar

to the parts Of Europe north of cape St.
Vincent, mutt be given by one of the two
governments to the other, and is to be
reckoned from the day in which the fame
fhall be received by the government to
whom it is given. In the Mediterranean
or other parts of the world, the notice
mutt be given by the REFLECTIVE command

peace. And ,e 6rt iptinations which his
.n1ieRy rece] I'd Of their Ggnatures, were
Accompanied by the expref. declaration of
his ally that icy were wholly unauthorif-
ed, and mutt be coniidered as absolutely
null.
The French government could indeed
expect no other determination to be taken
by his Imperial majefy. The want of all
powers or inifruetions for fuch treaty,
on the part of the Auitrian officer, was at
the time diflinetly notified by him to thoie
who. treated with him and isdeclared even
son the very faceof the paper which he
Ggned.
With reipeet therefore to the fuppoied
demand of his majetay to be admitted to
tbofe negotiations, nothing more is ne
cefary to be Eaid. The note delivered to
NJ. De Thugut, by lord Mimic, Efficient
'H explains the part which his majeity is
really dilpofed to take in any negotiation
which may, be-regularly fet on foot for
general peace.
The king has always been rerfuaded
that the refult of luch a negotiation can
alone efeetually re-eitabliia the tranquility
of Europe.
Experience has confirmed this opinion,
and 1t is only from the conviction of its
truth that his maje4ty has now been in
,duced to wave his objection to the frA
propofal Of a naval armiitice, and to enter
into the diicufion Of the conditions on
which it may be eRabliihed.
His majety judging from the expert
ence ofio many former negotiations, con-
fiders fuch an armiiiice as in no degree
likely either to expedite or facilitate an ar
rangemcnt Of the direct interei}s of Great !
Britain and France.
He views it in no Other light than as
temporary advantage which it is propoied
to him to yield to his enemy, in order to
prevent the renewal of continental hoRili-
ties, and thereby to contribute to the con-
cluiion of general peace.
And on this ground notwithstanding
the many disadvantages which he is lenG-
bic mutt relult TO the country, from fuch
meaiure, he is refolvcd to give to his al
lies and to all Europe this new pledge OF
the fentin1cnts by which he is a6tuatcd,
provided that his enemies are dilpofcd to
regulate the, conditions Of luch an armif-
tice, as far as the the nature of the cafe
will allow, IN conformity to the obvious
and eRablifhed principle of iuch arrange
ments.
This principle lis, that the REFLECTIVE po-
ftion Of the two parties 1hould remain
during the continuance of the armiHice,
fuch asst was at its commencement and
that neither of them fhould by its operati-
on acquire frcfh advantages or new means
of annoying his enemy; iuch as he could
not otherwife obtain. The difficulty Of
doing this with the fame 'prcciiion in the
cafe of naval operations, as by land, has
already been adverted to in former note;
and it continues leading objection to
the meafure itfelf.
Alexandria advertiser and commercial intelligencer. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1800-1803, 1801-01-05

advantageous to their future plans: the
importation both of proviiions and Of na-
val and military flores is to be wholly
unreRrained. Even Malta and The ports
Of Egypt, though expressly Rated to be
now blockrded, are to be freely viStual-
led, and for an unlimited period, in direct
contradiction to the aipula;ions of the Ger
man armiitice Rejecting Ulm and 1ngol-
itadt, to which places it is nevertheless
profefed to aiimilate them: and this go
vefnment is expected to bind itfelf tow
ards the allies of France even before any
reciprocal engagement can be received
from them; while, at the fame time, all
mention of the kings allies is, on the
other hand, totally omitted.
To propofal 70 manifeftly repugnant
to jufice and equality; and 70 injurious
not only to his majeRy's intereas, but al
10 tho1e Of his allies, it cannot be expect
ed that any motive lhould induce the king
to accede.
The counter-projeet which the under
hgned has the honor to tranfinit to M. Of
to contains regulations in this reipect more
nearly corresponding with that principle
OF equality on which alone his maIcity car
content to treat.
Even thcie articles arc, in many import
ant points, ard particularly in what re-
lates to the actual itations of his maieHy's
tquadrons, very far fhort Of what his ma
jeity might juttly demand from refer
ence to the general principle above iated,
from analogy to the conditions of the
continental armiitice, or from the relative
lituation of naval force; and confidence
is repofed in the good faith of his enemies,
which, although it can never be claimed
in Plantations between belligerent pow
ers, his majchy is nevertheless willing to
hope he ihall not find to have been milf
placed on the preient location.
If M. Otto is empowered to acccde to
thefe POPULATIONS, a proper perfon will i'm
mediately be authorized to Ggn them on
his n,ajety's part; ifnot, he is requefed
to tranilnit them, without delay, to his
government.
