Co "Wednesday an interview took
place between Lord Hawkefbury and NJ.
Otto.
Its faid that Lord Nelfoais to have
the chief command OF our fleets III the
Welt Indies. the Medufa frigate, Capt.
Gore, is preparing at Porsfnouth 10 take
out his L,ordfhip, who will proceed TO his
defination with ali poaible difpatch. Sc
gsral more ihips of the line and frigates,
have been ordered to be fitted our for
immediate feryics and to join the Channel
fleet.
The critical fate of the negotiation
fillcontinues 10 occupy the attention OF
every one. Nothing further, however
has rrsnipifed on the iubjett, no doubt
is entertained that miniRers have autho-
rfed Marquis CORVALLIS to bring the
matter to a fpeedy ifue, 70 that peace or
war will very loon be announced. In
the mean time the activity of preparation
in all of our ports is unremitted. Al
though matters are thus iufpended, there
ieems 10 general to be comfortable con-
6deuce that a defnitiye treaty will be con
cIuded.
The delay of The DeGnitive Treaty
excites comfortable degree of alarm.
The liberality Of coneefion in the prelimi-
nary Treaty, feems in fome meaiure TO
take the blame from our miniaers; and II
is hoped that though inferior arrange
ments may require time, both parties are
too deeply engaged to their REFLECTIVE
countries TO enbroil them again IN War,
without foms very extraordinary cauie.
We have received the Paris Jour
nails TO the sd inclufye. They are
quite barren of intelligence. They con-
ram no particulars Of the plot 10 which
the letters of our correspondent from Pa
! RE alludes though the article inthe Mo
inter of the 1T, in our paper in Satur-
day ,fhews that iome intrigue had been iup-
pofed to be going on. Buonaparte will
have fome trouble 10 manage the different
parties Of the Royalifts and Jacobins and
nothing but his popularity with the bulk
of the people, who fgh fer tranquility
and peace, can fupport him.
