LONDON, AUG. I.
Phil. pap.

We received yeRerday, Paris papers to
the Esd, and Dutch to the 2sth int. The
Argus has pubIifhed an article upon the
fubjed of the Negotiation between this coun-
try and Franc, which has been copied by
the other Paris papers. The Argus may be
coniidered as at leaf deni-o6eiaI authority, and
we have no doubt hut that The article has been
inherited by the direction of Government.-Itis
as follows
We have received the EngIifb Journals up
to the 18th of July. They furnilh rev parti-
culars concerning the Expedition which is to
fail for Sicily but it is well known thefe fuc-
cours frequently take more time to reach the
place of their deftination, than to return. As
England is incapable of making acrifices 70
comfortable as to prote1 efficiently its CONT
mental Allies, ihe will only draw down calamites
upon them, by prolonging, for fome time, A
uielets and difafrous reiifance. All the be-
neft that Ferdinand can derive from thefe fuc-
cours, will be TO behold the effuiion of the
blood of the people facriEced in vain.
+" In the prefent ftuation of Italy, il is necef-
fairy that Sicily ihould be united to the king
dom of Naples: they cannot exin feparately
from each other. IT they were to belong
to two Soveregns, whole intereRs are dilind,
their fecurity would be difturbed, their relati-
ons would be Interrupted by intelligence in the
too much i'm portance ~ the defence of Sicily,
Il is much more with view to make it an
Englilh Colony, than to preferve il for Ferdi-
nand for, in the Fate Of imbecility TO which
that Prince is reduced, he cannot be any thing
but vahII Of England. Thofe who imagine
that this power ought to facrifice every thing
to pre(erye the illand, ground their opinion
principally on this circumaance, that Malta is
thence fupplied with provifons. But it is fira
necefary to inquire whether England is to
keep Malta and, even admitting this fippof.
ton, Malta might, in time of peace, continue
us relations with Sicily and, in time of war,
procure provilons from Africa. At any rate.
70 much is perfectly clear and certain, that it is
of great importance to Sicily, to Italy, and to
the whole Continent of Europe, that Sicily
lliouId not be feparated from the kingdom of
which it has always conftitated a part. Let
England be contented with the Empire Of Ipdis
and ofthe Ocean ifihe is delirous of reiening
over the Mediterranean, it is lefs for the par.
pofs Of making its commerce Hourifh, than Of
clolirg the Levant againa the nations inhakit.
