later than before received. Under our
Foreign and Newyork heads the leading
particulars will be found.
Every thing, by this arrival, denotes
War, and nothing looks like Peace. The
Britih Minifer had requeited the mem
bers ofParliament not to place the leait
reliance on any appearances OF accommo-
dation-A loan Of Il millions was about
TO be afked for, and in every department
the nerves of annoyance were in vigorous
exertion. The war appeared to be very
popular and the minifer had received
aI1urances Of powerful fupport. Brlhih
fquadronS lined the COATS of France and
HoIland-the Texel was blocked up ;.
and nearly dozen French and Dutch
prizes, one of them an lndiaman, had
been fent to England. Accounts from
France fay, that numerous privateers were
fitting out, and lome nearly ready for fea,
to retaliate oil the commerce of Great
Britain. The French Secretary left Lon
don, the 2oth May. The public ltockS
of both countries were failing.-On the
24th May, the Englilh J per cents food
at about IS.
In France all the troops were in mo-
ton and large armies were to be FORM
ed--On the other iide, expeditions were
fitting out and in the Wef-Indies, we
think, the hrit warlike operations viii
take place.
The French arc loud in their denunci-
alton of Great Britain for not fulfilling
the treaty Of Amiens and call upon the
world TO Judge between her and France.
But when the world refeaS how much
the Britifh have furrendered fnce the
treaty without retaining an inch of
French land while France has added whole
nations to the number ofh dependents !;
the decifon will not be in uuifon with
thar Of Bonaparte. For the benefit of
thofe who have lhort memories we men
non, that hnce the defnitive treaty, which
was not fgned untilthe 27th March, So2,
Great Britain has furrendered TO France,
Martinico, Tobago and ST. Lucie, in the
Weft-Indies st. Pierre and Miquelon,
near Newfoundland Pondjcherry, and
all its dependencies in the Eaf-lndies !;
Foul Point, in the iland of Madagafcar,
the ine of Goree, on the coalt of Africa !;
and the ine of ST. Marcou, on the coat
of France :-She has allo given up to the
Batayian Republic, which cannot be con-
hdered any other than a French colony,
Mallcca, in the Eat-lndies, with all its
dependencies the important colony at
the Cape Of Good Hope the inands of
Anthoyna, Banda, and Ternate, in the
Ealt- Indies, the valuable colonies of De-
nlarara, Ifequibo, Berbice and Surrinam,
and the ifland of Curacao, in the Welt
Indies And added to thefc, fhe has al
70 furrendered TO Spain the interelting
itation of Minorca. After the ready fac
rihce of thefe peace-oHerings, the world
will not very ealily aaent to the charge of
non-fulfilment Of treaty; even if urged
with all the vehemence of French oratory.
