Nv last dispatch, in which gave
your lordship an account OF my confer
enee with NJ. de Talleyrand, was scarce
r. oone when ] received note from him
informing me that the FIRST consul wasneu
70 converse with me, and desired i would
come TO him at the Thuillerles at nine
O'Clock. He received me in his CABINET,
with tolerable cordiality, and. after talk
inc on different subjects for few minutes
he desired me to sit down, as he himself
did on the other side of the table, ana
began. He told me that he tett IT ne
cessary, after what had passed between
me and M. de Talleyrand, that ne should
in the most clear and authentic manners
make known his sentiments to me- N
order to their being communicated - ms
majesty and he conceived this would be
done more efeAually by himself than
through any medium whatsoever. ne
sad that it was matter OF INFINITE dlsa!.'-
pointment to him, that the treaty OF
Amiens, instead Of being followed oy
conc,I,ation and friendship, the naturai
eFea Of peace, has been productive only o.
continual and increasing jealousy ana mis-
trust; and that this mistrust was now
ayawed in such manner as must BRING
the point to an ISSUE
He now enumerated the feveral provo
cations which he pgttended to have re-
ceived from England. He placed N the

This he confdercd as much more mif
chieyous, Gnce it meant TO exci,ethis coun.
try againit him and his government. He
complained Of the projection given TO
Georges and .others Of his defcription,
who inaead of being tent TO Canada, as
had been repeatedly promifed, were per-
mitted to remain in England, tandlonc,
ly penGoned, and conttan,ly committing
all fert8 of crimes on the coat Of France,
as we'll as in the interior. In conhrma-
lion Of this. he told the, that two men had
within shele few days been apprehenaed in J
Normandy, and was DOW en- their way to
Paris, who were hired aasGins, and were
employed by the biihop of Arras, by
Georges and by Dnsheil, as would be
fully proved in a conrr OF Jutice, and made
known to the world.
He acknowledged, that the irritation
he felt againit England increafed daily,

He went back to Egyps, ard told ne,
