The most remarkable passages III TINS
dispatch are the following: $ The late
treaty Of pcace was conducted on basis
not merely proposed by bis rnalesty' ous
specially agreed TO IN an ottle,al no'e ~ !
rhe French government, viz. that his ma,
iesly should keep compensation out o.
his conquests for the important aequlslt'
ens Of territory made by France upon the
continent. This is sufficient proof that
the compact was understood TO have oeen
concludes with reference 10 the then ex-
isring state of things, tor the measure o.
his ma iesty's compensation was TO DC Cal
culated with reference to the acquisitions
IS Fro,ce ~ the time and if the inter-
| ference Of the French government IN the
General affairs of Europe, since that perl
cd if their interpretation with respect 70
| Switzerland and Holland, whose lnde-
pendence was guaranteed by them at the
| time Of the conclusion Of the treaty OF
peace if the annexations when nave
| been made TO France in various quarters
but particularly those in Italy, have ex
tended rhe territory and increased the
power of the French government, ms
| majesty would be warranted, consistently
UsdfHs4fg equfvaienss Tor these acqrisiti>
ons as a countefpoisc to the augmentati-
on Of the power of france. His majes-
1 ", however, anxious to prevent al ground
of misunderstanding, and DESTROYS OF CON-
| sohdatlng the general peace of Europe, IS
far as might be in his power, was wiling
to have waved the pretentlons he might
have right to advance of this nature
and as the other articles of the dehnitive
treaty have been in cousre OF execution
on his part, So he would have beenready
to have carried into effect the true intent
and spirit of The Goth article, the execu.
ton of which, according to its terms, had
been rendered ilnpra6fica5le by circu;n-
stances which it was not in his majesty's
power to controul. A communication to
your lofdship would accordingly have
been prepared conformably to this dsposi-
ton, il the attention of his rnajesty's gov
eminent had not been attracted by the
very extraordinary publication Of the re-
port Of col. Sebastian to the first con-
SUI. It is impossible For bis majesty 20
view this report in any other light, than
as an official publication; for without re-
fering particularly to explanations which
have been repeatedly given upon the sub
iea of publications in the Monieeur, the
article III question, as itpurports to be the
report to the first consul of an accredited
agent, as itappears to have been signed
by col. Sebastisni himself, and as 1t is
published in the official paper with an
official title affixed to it, must be consi-
dered as authorised by the French govern
mrnt.
1t discloses, however, views in the
highest degree injurious to the interests |
Of his majesty's dominions, and directly |
repugnant to, and utterly inconsistent
with, the spirit and letter of the treaty of
peace concluded betweep his majesty and |
the French government--and his majesty I
would feel that he was wanting in pro- 4
per regard to the honor of his crown and /
TO the interests of his doninions, if he 1
could see with indifference such system
developed and avowed. His majesty 1
