DIR Arthur Paget is arrived from the Me-
oiterranean, and Dispatches have been re-
ceiVed irom Lord Collingwood. We under
stand that Sir Arthur was not able to &c.
comptsh the object OF his mission.
s. Generals Spencel's and General Mac

the expedition, it is now understood win
certainly sail on Saturday. l. only awaits

Several documents of the highest impor-
lance are said TO have been transmitted to
government relative to the designs of Bona
Parte. hey are signed by him and Talley-
rand and upon comparing the signatures
win those to ofhcial Papers in the posscssi-
on OF Government, no doubt, we understand
remains OF their being genuine Not havipr
seen the documents having heard nothing
OF their contents; and wholly uninfor,ned Of
the manner in which Government became
possessed OF them, we are not abl,. TO Dro
nounce any opinion upon the subject. but
the signatures may be genuine, and vet the
documents may not deserve much conf
uehce or credit 1t is possible that Bona
pared them tor the purpose Of misIcaf mo- orr
Government with respect to their DESIGNS.
The late Ministers, speaking OF Bona
parties policy in America assert, that .s;+
would be insanity in him not to conciliate the
AMERICANS Just III proportion as our Minis
tiers are anxious to provoke them BY what
action this anxiety has been manifested we
are yet to learn; but we perfectly well re
member that MANY of those who are now SO
la IN hoxr - y =
wish provoke America, accused them of
having shewn too strong a disposition to con-
oeoe 10 her. 1t is extraordinary what a sen
sibillty certain persons have in this Country
TO every thing by which the interests Of A.
mcrica are likely to be affected they are
always ready topresume every thing against
US; had they their whole fortunes vested in
America they could not be more trembling
~ ahNe; they never consider her conduct
WIZ WIN any degree OF suspicion or displeasure.
we should be glad to know what America
has done that should entitle her tn snch mar
tcalar favor and tenderness from MS She
entceS our Searnen TO dcserc, and refuses to
give them up: she submits to every agrees
sion on the part of France sic uses every
artihce to inilame her people against us
while she lightly touches upon the hostile
measures adopted by our enemy and vet we
are not 10 complain, nor do any thing that
may "provoke her"
Have these persons heard OF her insultipr
demand to us, to surrender our RIGHT of
searching her merchant vessels, and d they
mean to characterize our determined raiecl,
ton OF that demand, cas- an anxiety to pro-
woke herr" We have been repeatedly re-
minded that 1t is the mutual interest of the
two countries to remain at peace 1t might be
supposed then chat where the Interests we've
mutual, there would be mutual dspositicn
TO make sacrnces or concessions for the pur-
pose or obtaining an object desirable to each;
But when these American advocates dnscend
to particulars, we find that their idea of mn.
tslal interests is, that the demands should ali
be on the side of America, and the con-
cessions all on the side OF Great BRITAIN
