The bare fatement of iuch condition
Is tufiicient to thew, that it never can be
admitted by his majeity, who is bound by,
the ipirit of his engagements to ailiR his
ally Immediately on the renewal of hofi-
htles and to whom no other inducement
has or could be offered for acceding to a
naval armiftice, except that Of preventing
the renewal of hofilities on the continent.
The laft claufe in the Englilh article
mutt therefore be absolutely Unified on,
and no variation can be admitted in the
other parts Of it, which lhall be inconliR-
ent with the Object of that Ripulation.
The term of fourteen days is in fact
longer than that which is provided in Ell
Their of the two conventions ofarmiaice in
Italy and Germany, and appears fully fuf-
ticient for all the purpofes which fIlch a
provifion is fairly intended to anfwer and
If his majeity enters into any tipulation for
naval armittlce in the fole hope of ipecdy
concluiion of the intended negotiations he
does not think proper to bind himielf for
10 long period as month, fhould he
have the modification of finding that his
enemies refufe to adopt thoie principles of
negotiation On which alone he Judges that
permanent tranquility can be reitored to
Europe.
The French government has in all its
communications expreled the fame hope
and defire for the fpeedy conclufion of
peace, and has even profeiled an anxiety
to render this Object more peculiarly inte-
reiting to his majefty. There can there
tore be no reaionto with on either fde that
the term Of notice fhould be prolonged 70
much beyond the neceAity Of the cafe.
The third article of the counter project
was drawn with reference to the CORE
fPonding articles in the preliminaries of
peace, in 1868, and 1853, from which it
differs only by the more explicit fatement
OF that which is underhood to have been
the efabliihed practice of the courts of
admiralty on both fdes, with refpect to
prizes, after having actually received no.
tlce OF the cefation of hottilities.
The addition to this article propofed in
the French project is Objectionable.
Firf, Becaute there feems to be no ne.
GETTY for explaining the general effect of
liquidation which has in the practice of
the two laft negotiations for peace been
found Efficiently diffintt, and has fully
anfwered the purpo1e intended by it.
Secondly, Becaufe the explanation there
given is not juit concluiion from the
Premiies. 1t is indeed true, that by the
effect Of this article Gaips clearing out d.
rectly from Great Britain or France might
immediately after the exchange of the "a
tifcations fail in full iecurity, becaule
they might carry out with them notice of
the armiftice; but the fame thing would
not be true of lhips in other parts of the
world, as theie under the express terms
Of this article) could not be entitled to
refitution if captured, Funlefs proof were
given that actual notice of the armiaice
had been received by their captors, or un-

gagged to abandon. 0'''
This part of the French article is thor.
fore wholly inadminible. 1t conta;n.
>preteniion unjuft in itfelf, injurious to -.
majetfy's intereit, and repugnant both -
the general principle of the nepoc;at;oO
and to that which is fpecSsd in the verS
beginning of the article itfelf; and It in
plies breach of faith on his majeay,, par,
towards an ally, to whom he is bound bv
a folernn treaty. !"
Befides all thefe considerations, his ma
jefy has no. power to refrain, by fuch an
engagement as is propoisd, the fhips Of
the Ottoman Porte from rehRing the ad.
milton of this fupply into Egypt, un!efs hi,
ally had acceded to the armifice, which
IT It be concluded on fuch terms as tbeGe
there can be no realon to expect.
The manner in which this particu1a,
fubjeet of Egypt is {poken of, both in the
project and in NJ. Otto's note of the 10Th
infant, makesit neceaary that you inould
dlitinctly declare, that the offer which was
contained in the counter project goes in
this refpeef to the very utrnoR extent that
his majeify's regard for the interefts Of his
iubjetts can admit of. And his naiei1v j.
confident, that no want of cancellation
can juitly be imputed to him on account
OF his having at once brought forward ex-
pllcltly and without relerve the whole Of
thofe conceGions, which it appeared poG-
bic for him to make.
This oblervation applies equally to tho
remaining articles Of the projej.
In the fifth article his majefy finds him,
felf obliged to Unfit that the freedom Of
navigation there fipulated for on the part
of his enemies, fhall not be extended to
the traniport Of troops, or of naval and MI
litary flores. The juieice of this except
on and It's neceGity are too obvious to re-
quire any further explanations in addition
to thoie contained in the official note;
and it follows as confequence of this
principle, as we'll as from the nature of the
lubjeet itfelf, that the reRridions as to the
failing of two ihips of war would be Who'll
ly illufory, were it, as now propoied, con-
fined to ihips Of the line only.
1t would indeed neither be Indifferent
IN practice nor Jut In principle, that
France fhould be enabled during the ar
miftice to change the ftations Of all her
frigates; but when it is conGdered how
much it is the ufage Of the French marine
to employ thofe veGels for the tranfport
of troops and military flores, the two parts
OF this article become 70 blended with
each other, that they cannot be 1eparated;
and his majefy cannot depart from the lat
ter without equally abandoning the for
mer.
The naval fupply of the articles which
are here in quefion, is indeed tated in one
of M. Otto's notes to be point of fmall
moment to France. If it be 70, fhe can
with lefs reafon Unfit or point which
can in this cafe only be Unified on with q
view to affect thofe general principles
which are connected with all the mott i'm.
portant maritime interefs of Great Bril-
Alexandria advertiser and commercial intelligencer. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1800-1803, 1801-01-09


the traniport of troops, and of naval and
military flores, and even'with thoie which
France propoies as to the blockaded
places.
The fourth article Of the French project
fill maintains the contradiction of profeG-
ing to adimilate the blockaded places to
thoie OF Germany, and ofapplying to them
at the fame time conditions which are the
very reverfe of thofe adopted in the Ger
man armifice.
The manner in which that armihice is
1poken Of in this article, affords another in
aance of expreiions unneceHarily and i'm
properly ofenGve to the kings allies.
There ieems no reaion for altering the
paragraph of the counter project, which is
perfectly diaina, and conveys no implica-
ton injurious to either party.
The king cannot agree that 70, 900 ra-
tions per diem, fhall be affirmed as the con-
fumption of Malta. If the fact be 70 it will
appear to the commii1aries who will be
named for that purpofe, in conformity to
tho1e itipulations of the German armifice,
to which France profenes the intention of
ailimilating this article.
But fill more material objection ari{es
to the propoial refpeefing Egypt.
If the 1ituation of the French army in
that country were to become matter of
difcuilion between the two governments,
his majeity and his allies have right on
every principle of good faith, as praaifed
between civilized nations, to require that
the French fhould evacuate Egypt on the
terms fipulated in the convention of FL
Arifh thofe POPULATIONS having been rati-
fed both by the Turkilh government and
by the French commanding officer; and his
majeRy having alto infructed his admiral
commanding in thoie feas to accede to them
as foon as they were known here. This
demand would bemade with the more rea-
1on, becauie even fublequent to the recon-
mencement of hoftilities in Egypt under
circumstances to which his majeity forbears
to advert) an official engagement was en-
tered into by general Kleber in his letter to
the Kairnakan, dated the 9th April, 500,
by which that general, then commanding
in chief the French army in Egypt, and
confequently pohehing full powers to bind
his government in this refpe6t, formally
undertook that the convention of Ell Arifh
ihould be executed as foon as the kings
acquieicence in it fhould be notified to him.
But when, ini}ead of performing this
engagement, the French government, under
the pretence of afimilating Egypt to the
blockaded places of Germany, requires that
fix frigates fhall carry thither, without
mobilization or 1earch, and even under the
open protection Of Britifh officer, whate-
yer articles the French garrifons there may
be mott in need of, it is natural to Iafk by
what article in the German armiffice Ulm
or lngolfadt are to receive in covering
Wagons, as many troops, as much provi-
hons, and as great quantity of every fpe-
cles OF arms, ammunition, and flores, as
might be conveyed to Egypt in fix French
frigates and this comparifon is till more
