as the ceiiation of the continental armifice
ihould be hgnifed to them, too great a
latitude was left to their difcretion: and
fhat 1t therefore feened mot Advisable
jfiaat, IN that event, the ceGation Of the
naval armiftice fhould be iignifed from
government TO government as would be
the cafe whenever, for any reafon, either
Great Britain or France might think it
tor their intereh that the naval ar1niitice
ihouid ceaie. But upon my representation
or the advantages which France, on the
one hand, would derive from her local DO
iltion and the facility of Collecting its force
on any point which it might determine to
attack, and the delay on the other, which
would necef1arily occur in the receipt of
the intelligence in England of the rupture
OF the armifice in any diftant part Of the
territory of her allies, M. Otto agreed
to refer this iubjete to future coniidera-
ton.
We then proceeded to the 18th and 9Th
articles; On which NJ. Otto remarked.
that they contained the only points to
which his government attached much i'm
rortance; and, fuch were its fenti1nenss
respecting them, that he conceived that i,
would not content to any arnaiAice of
which they did not form part.
With reipea to the calculation of the
provifons for Malta at the rate of 10. 900
rations per diem, W. Otto did not fpecify
any date ON which that calculation was
founded but remarked briefly, that the
quantity Of rations was not to be exactly
tapportioned to the preciie return of the
garrlion, but that certain number of ra-
tons IN proportion to their reflective
ranks, was to be allowed to the general
and taft officers and that, although con-
siidersble number of the inhabitants had
been ient from the forts occupied by the
French troops, there fill remained many
tor whole wants proviiion was to be made.
lie was, however, of opinion that there
might not be much difficulty in arranging
this point In the manner propofed in the
counter project, founded on the fipulati-
ons of the German arminice relative to
Ulm and Ingolfadt.
On the fubjeet of that part Of the fourth
article of the French project, which re-
qoires that FIX frigates fhould be allowed
to fail from Toulon for Egypt, and be ex.
enpted from earch, M. Otto read to me
part of a difpatch from nj. Talleyrand,
exprenive Of the intereh which the whole
French nation fakes in that part Of the ar
my now in Egypt, and aGgning the defre
of contributing TO the comfort and fscurity
oftlIat army as the principal induceinent
to the conclufon Of the arm;fice on the
part of the French government. NJ. Otto
added, that he would not conceal from me
that the reinforcement which France in.
tended to fend to Egypt amounted to
twelve thoufand men, and that the fupply
ofmilitary flores con6fed chiefly of c, 900
mufkets. The language of M. Otto, in
this part of our couverfation, and of M.
Talleyrand's letter, appeared to me to be

There has not occurred, at any period
during the war, NOT even in the manage
ment Of the negotiations entrufed to lord
.MalmGxy, hyperion infance of found
reafoning, of firm adherence to national
dignity, tempered by the true fpirit of
Cancellation, and exprened in energetic
and peripicuous language, than the aniwers
and observations OF the Britifh n,iniitry in
the courie of the late difcuflions. "A more
infdious and deRruetive fyftem to the real
intercas of Great Britain could not be
we'll devifcd, than the p,aea communicate
ed on the part Of the chief con/nl.-We
were, in fact, required to yield every adj
vantage obtained by the unrivalled exerti-
ons of our navy and, in return, we were
to throw ourtelves upon the candor and
the mercy of the government of France.
The propofal went to give every thing to,
the enemy, and deprive us not only Of our
fuperiority, but of the means of lafety it
feif. His maie1y's reply is admirably
fuited to the occafion; expofing the abfur-
dity and danger Of the enemy's pretenfons,
yet conceding more to him than fuch pre-
tenGons could be entitled to. The cam
ter b,gjre7, which gave to Frarce every
poHible benefit, confidently with the juR
rights and iecurity of this country, will,
we are confident, be confdered by every
unprecedented mind, an unequivocal demon
ltration on the part Of the government to
effect the rehoration Of tranquility. But
It appears that nothing but the breach Of
our mott folemn engagements could induce
the chief eog/aI to accept a propofal highly
unfavourable to himielf, and we have been
called upon to lay ourfelves profrate at
his feet, by conienting to the condition of
a naUAl armyfiee, or to tear afunder every
bond Of alliance from which we hope to
contribute to the reitoration of the general
tranquility Of Europe.
The difgraceful alternative has been re-
jeeted by the wiidom and fr,nnefs of ad-
minifration: were any thing wanting to
convince the world of the ambition and
perhdy of the enemy, it would be found
in the prefent documents.
1t is remarkable that the French govern
mcnt has, in its official comments, con-
demned by anticipation the late invaGon
of Tufcany. In the note and reply to
our counter project we end this frong OBJ
fervation -" 1t is by means of the ar
miftice that men are rafting in Tufcany."
The levies of 1uicany were therefore fanc-
toned by the admiflion OF France herfelf;
and was not the entrance of the republican
troops into the Tufcan territories direct
violation of the principle Of armiftice,
which had been fully recognized by the
confulate, and indeed formed one of the
chief BATS Of its conduct in the late nego-

1peaKer 10 aPprencnd the perlOn guilty OF
indecent and dilorderly conduct in the gal
|lery.
The committee have reafon to believe
from the bef information they can OBJ
tain, that the perfon who committed
the diforder land who has fnce abicond-
ed) was at the time intoxicated with IL
quor. ~
The magitrate, by whefe warrant the
fergeant at arms was arretfed, and held in
cuitody, for diicharging his duty in the
rremifes, has explained his conduct IN a
letter accompanying this report. The
fuggeiion made to him, that any one
member of this houfe was eox/xltea rela-
tive to the profecution of the fergeant at
arms, isby the committee prefurncd to be
falie; as it would imply in fuch member
not only dilregard Of the fenie of per-
ional propriety but alto an inexcuiable
contempt for the honor and dignity Of the
houle.
That although the arree and confne-
ment of an officer of the houie Of repre-
prelentatives for any act by him performed
in It's iervice, and in obedience to its Or
ders, mutt be deemed high breach Of its
privileges yet as the magifrate in the
preient cafe feems rather to have been de-
ceived by falie approximations, than in
Auenced by improper views, the committee
cannot conGder his conduct as 1ubje6 Of
animadveriion.
They are therefore Of opinion. that it is
not expedient for the houle to take any
further order on the letter from Joieph
Wheaton.
The following is the letter Of the Ma
citrate alluded to:

In compliance with your requef, I will
endeavour to fate what took place be-
tween James Lane and myfelf, reipeeting
the warrant / granted at the inltance OF

which is in fubfancc as follows:
On Monday the z I'd ultimo, late in the
afternoon, ! Twas called on by young man
of genteel appearance, Whole name he faid
was Lane, and informed for the fra time)
that he had been arrehed in the gallery Of
Congrefs by the ferjeant at arms, and by
him confined in one Of the committee
rooms upwards Of an hour, on fufpicion of
clapping a member Of the Houie of Re-
preientatiyes while addreiling the Speaker,
which charge he at that time denied being
guilty of. He alto Rated that Mr.. Whea-
ton, after keeping him confined during
the time aforementioned, discharged him,
and that he was arrehed iecond time by
the iaid Wheaton on the public fquare
fome difance from the Capitol, who wreR-
ed from him his horfe without producing
a written authority from the Speaker Of
Congrefs, or any other evidence to jufi-
fly his conduct. ! thought under iuch cir
