@ Noe.
The, noteencloled in M. Otto's letter
OF the 10Th inf. has been laid before the
king:
His majefy has not feen in that paper
any freih fuggeitions on the fubjeea of a
naval arniHice which can at all vary the
anfwer tranfnittcd to. M. Otto on the 9TH
infant.
Neither his majeay S known engage
ments to his allies, nor his delre, 70 recent
~ expreied, to contribute TO the rettora-
ton OF general tranquility in Europe will
admit OF his Operating his intereas from,
thote OF the powers with whom he is con-
nected III the profecution Of the war. !: much
LET'S could he entertain the idea of content
ing, for fuch purpole to navy naval ar
miitice; nleaiure which he has already
declared to be totally inapplicable to a .ie-
Farate difcuiiion of the intereifs of Great
Britain and France.
This propcfal being therefore one which
the French governments mutt have known
that his majefy could not accept, the fup-
poted alternative profeiled to be offered to
ms maJeity s.choice, amounts to nothing
more than to the iunple renewal of de-
mand already rejected. No freih induce
ment is itated which fhould now diipole
his majefy to content to thole conditions
OF armiitice for joint negotiation which he
had before confdered wholly inadnifible.
From information received, iince the
lait communications on this fuhieef took
place, his majeity has obferved with equal
turpriie and concern, that the orders for
giving notice of the termination of the
continental armiAicc mutt actually have
been diipatchcd from Paris at the very
time when the continuance of that armie;ce
was propoied to his majef}y as the condi-
ton and inducement for maritime truce.
And if, in addition to this circumha nce
his majefty were to collect the prefent diff
petitions OF his enemies from the terms
Rejecting his conduct and views with
which their recent communications with
his allies are filled, the conclufion mutt be
extremely unfavourable to the exifence Of
any dfpoGtion to Cancellation.
His majefy is, however, Gill willing
to wave all reference to theie confederate
ons, and to regulate has conduct by the
motives which he has already explained.
E1e till looks, therefore, to naval armil.
tice onfuitable conditions, as to a facri6ce
which he may be induced to make, in or
der to prevent the renewal of the hoflili-
ties on the continent, and thereby to faci-
litate thofe joint negotiations for gene
raj peace which might perhaps be acccle-
xated by fuch an arrangement, although

+ the .facrifce which his ma;elv IS 70
make ihould be regulated neither by any
Iair itandard OF equality, nor by the ordi-.
nary rules which govern fuch tranlactions
When without any reference to the inte-
reles OF his own people, he is called upon
TO proportion his conceRions to the exag
gerated e4imates which his enemies have
formed OF the benefits derived to his allies
from the continental armiRice; and when
on iuch grounds as thole, conditions are
United on which even thele could not war
rant, it becomes necenary to fate diRinct-
~ that his majeity neither recognizes this
principle, nor if he did,. could agree in
this application of it.
Ills majeity is not, indeed, called upon
10 appreciate the relative advantages which
the prolongation of the continental arma-
tice might really afford to each of the bel
iigerent powers. But even of thoie cir
cumitances which are enumerated by the
French government as exclufively adyan-
tageous to Auttria, many are evidently be-
nef'cial to both parties, and are 70 nearly
to an equal extent.
II, during the interval of repoie which
has already elapfed, the Auftrian armies
have been re-eiiablifhed, recruited, and
reinforced, France has not been inatten-
tive to the fame meafures. If tic fubG-
dies which his rnajeay has turnifhed are
applied by his ally to the formation or
tfaniporting OF magazines. France has
appropriated TO iimiiar purpcfes the rigor-
Gus contributions exaGfed from thofe coun-
trles which the exiitence of an armihice
mas not exempted from that calamity.
ne places IN the rear Of the Auffrian army
may have been repaired, but the petition
OF the French armies has alto been Grencth-
ened, and even the blockaded towns NAV.
perhaps, iuffer more from the encreafeti
length OF the blockade than they can pro-
ut by any internal meaiures for i,nrroy;no
their defences.
Into other points of comparison his ma
Jeity iorebears to enter. No part Of TIE
varied iuccenes of the continent war an
pears to him to entitle his enemies to pre-
tune on any attendant over the fp;ritt of
the Auitrian armies.
But were the anertions of the French
government in thefe refpeess better ground
ed than his majeay conceiyes them to be
the principle itfelf would fill be inadnihi-
bic. It is impoAible that his maichy can
admit that compensation is to be demand
ed from him for the extent of thoie adj
ya,ntagess, whatever they might really be,
which his ally might derive from the con-
tlnuance Of the armiaice yet even fuch
compensation is ina great degree offered
by MS majety: In confenting to naval
armiitice on fuch terms as have already
been acceded to on his majeRy's part, he
has made comfortable facrifces, and placed
within the reach Of his enemies great and
obvious advantages which their reprefenta-
ton IN vain endeavours to deprecia G. he
has thereby given to all Europe a ftrong
pledge OF his concern for the general wei.
tare, and to his enemies decided proof Of
pacific difpoGtion.
