The Undersigned mas laid before the
emperor, his master, the note Of his
excellency Mr.. Canning.
Ifit were true that the evils of war
were telt only on the oontin ent, GER
tainly there would be little hopes of
attaining peace.
The two emperors had flattered
themselves that the object of their
measure would not have been misin.

giish ministry have ascribed il TO weak
ness or necessity, when every impair
tai statesman must recognise, in the
Pirit OF peace and moderation by
which tits dictated the characteristicks
OF power and true greatness France
and Hussia can carry on the w ar SO
long ast the court of London ALI not
recur TO just and equitable dispositi-
ons and they are resolved to do so.
How is 1T possible for the French
government to entertain the proposal
which had been made to it of admi,.
ting 10 the negotiation the Spanish in
surgents What would the English
government have said, had it been
proposed to tn m to admit the Catho-
lick insurgents of Ireland! France.

qaently sent them succours. Could
sucn proposal have found place IN
note, the objects of which ought to
nave been not to irritae, but to eu-
d savour to effect a mutual consi iera-
ton and good understanding.
ERgland will find herself Under a

Inc undersigned is command d to
repeat the proposal, to admit Of the

OF England ; whether it be the king
who reigns IN the Brazils whether
1t be the king who reigns In Swe.
deni or whether it be the king
who reigns in Sicily and to take
tor the basis of the negotiation the

reagh's mind to acauiesce in such an art

reagh's mind to acauiesce in such an ar
rangement.
Il was therefore matter Of very great
surprize and establishment to Mr.. Canning,
WHEN, at the final issue OF the expedition,
he reminded the duke of Portland, that
the tine was row come fer his grace's writ
ing to lord Wellesley, TO find, that SO far
from the interval having been employedby
lord .Cas.lereagh' IS friends, IN preparing ii.
Castlereagh for the change, the same re-
serve had been continued towards him, a
gainst which Mr.. Canning had before so
earnestly demonstrated. Being informed
of tins circumstance by the duke OF Port
land, and learning at the same time fros,
his grace, tia, there was other difficulties
attending the arrangement, or which MIR.
Canning had not before been apprised and
that the duke Of Portland had himself come
to determination to retire from office, Mr..
Canning instantly, and before any step
whatever had been taken towards carving
the promised arrangement into effect, with
drew his claim and requested the duke OF
Portland to tender his (NIr. CannIngs)
resignation, at the same time with his
grace's to the king. This was On Wednesday
the 9Th of Sept. previously to the levee OF
thar day.
All question of that performance Of the
promise made to Mr.. Canning being thus
at end, the reserve which lord Castereagh's
friends had hitherto SO preservingly prac-
tised towards lord Cas!lereagh, appears to
have been laid aside. Lord Casslereagh
was now made acquainted with the nature
of the arrangement which had been intend
ed to have been proposed nm.
6 WHAT may have been the reasons which
prevented lord Castirreagh's friends from
fulfilling the assurances given to sir. Can
ming, that lord Castlereagh's mind should
be prepared by their communications tor
the arrangement intended to be carried into
effect; and what the motives for The discio
sure to lord Cas.lereagh after that arrange
nent had ceased 10 b- IN contemp la:ion, 1t
is not for Mr.. Canning TO explain"
