libellous than any thing published against them in the Moniteur: they were there ac cused of hiring assassins to kill Buonaparté, but here they are accused of meditating the commission of a crime, too cruel and too infamous to be described, a crime of a dye much deeper than that of cutting the throat of an infant after having rocked it to sleep: and, it is upon the supposition, that they were about to commit this crime, that the "infernal machine" (we mean the London press) calls upon the country, before hand, to" applaud their conduct"! Of all the subjects we ever attempted to discuss, this is, in our estimation, by far the most interesting, as it immediately affects the tranquillity, the security, and even the lives of a band of the bravest, most loyal, and most faithful men that the world ever saw. We shall, therefore, resume it in our next, assuring our readers, in the mean time, that his Majesty's ministers have no intention to deliver these gentlemen, or any of them, up to Buonaparté; and if they had such an intention, we have no hesitation to say, that they could not do it with out a total subversion of the laws of the land, without a complete annihilation of the authority of the courts of justice, and, of course, without putting the life of every man in the kingdom, whether native or foreigner, in jeopardy. As to the fact, it is, we believe, certain, that M. Otto did address communications to his Majesty's ministers, requesting that certain persons, offensive to Buonaparté, might be apptehended and sent out of the kingdom, or, perhaps, delivered up to him, as coming within the stipulations of the 20th article of the treaty of Amiens; but no persons have been either confined or taken up, in consequence of that application. The truth is this: there were several royalist officers in the island of Jersey, who had come thither from France, some of them, probably, since the conclusion of the peace. Buonaparté was uneasy at the near neighbourhood of these gallant gentlemen, who had braved The situation of Mr. Peltier's affair is death in ten thousand shapes for the sake of this: on the 28th of August, Mr. White, their lawful sovereign; and, indeed, it solicitor to the Treasury, sent a notification would be uncandid to blame the fears of to De Boffe, the publisher of L'Ambigu, inthe consul, who sleeps not upon a bed of forming him, that he had the orders of the roses, and who must be excused for having Attorney-General to prosecute the authors, the feelings inseparable from his situation. printers, and publishers of the said work, When we recollect that the hero of Drogheda and that, he submitted to Mr. De Boffe, lived in continual alarm, wore armour un- whether, after this notification, it would be der his clothes by day, and shifted his prudent in him to continue the sale of the lodgings every night, for the last five years offensive work.

Besides, we doubt of the policy of attacking Buonaparté for his present acts in France. We think it somewhat inconsistent, that Mr. Peltier should at all unite with the republican journalists of London, the principal ground of whose hatred to Buonaparté, is, that he has blasted, for ever and ever, the hopes of themselves and their rebellious supporters-As Englishmen, we would resist, we would attack Buonaparté, with fleets and with armies; and, were we Frenchmen, we would not attack him with a pen.

The First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, and the Sublime Ottoman Emperor, being desirous to restore the relations of peace and amity which have of old subsisted between France and the Sublime Porte, have for that purpose appointed Ministers Plenipotentiaries, viz. the First Consul, in the name of the French people, Citizen C. M. Talleyrand, Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Republic; and the Sublime Ottoman Porte, Esseid Mahomed Said Ghalib Effendi, Private Secretary and Director of Foreign Affairs; who, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed to the following articles: Art. I. There shall hereafter be peace and friendship between the French Republic and the Sublime Ottoman Porte: hostilities shall for the future, and for ever, cease between the two states. II. The treaties or capitulations which, before the war, defined the respective relations of every kind, existing between the two powers, shall be renewed in all their particulars. In consequence of this renewal, and in fulfilment of the ancient capitulation, according to which the French have a right to enjoy, in the states of the Sublime Porte, all the advantages granted to other nations, the Sublime Porte consents that the French merchant ships bearing the French flag, shall for the future possess the undisputed right to navigate and pass freely in the Black Sea. The Sublime Porte likewise consents, that the said French merchant ships, on their passage into and out of this ea, shall, with respect to every thing that can favour the free navigation of it, be placed precisely on the same footing with the merchant ships of those nations which Dow navigate it. The Sublime Porte and the Government of the French Republic, will with common consent take vigorous measures to cleanse [290 the seas, which the ships of both states navigate, from all kinds of pirates. The Sublime Porte promises to protect the French trading-ships in the Black Sea against all kinds of pirates. It is hereby understood, that the advantages secured by the present article to the French in the Ottoman Empire, shall in like manner extend to the subjects and flag of the Sublime Porte in the seas and territory of the French Republic. III. The French Republic shall, in the Ottoman countries which lie on, or in the vicinity of, the Black Sea, both with respect to their trade and the agents and commissaries which that trade may render it necessary to appoint in such places, enjoy the same rights and privileges which France, before the war, enjoyed by virtue of the old capitulations, in any other parts of the states of the Sublime Porte. IV. The Sublime Porte assents to all that was stipulated with respect to it in the treaty concluded at Amiens between France and England, on the 4th Germinal of the year ten (25th of March, 1801), or the 22d of Zillides, of the year of the Hegira 1216. All the articles of this treaty, which have relation to the Sublime Porte, are by the V. The French Republic and the Sublime Porte mutually guarantee the integrity of their possessions. VI. The restorations and indemnifications which are due to the agents of the two powers, or to their citizens and subjects, whose effects have been confiscated or sequestrated during the war, shall be regulated in an equitable manner, by a particular agreement to be concluded between the two governments at Constantinople. VII. Until by common consent new regulations shall be agreed on, with respect to the tolls or customs on which disputes may have arisen, these shall in both countries continue to be regulated by the old capitulations. VIII. Should any prisoners be found in the two countries, who are detained in consequence of the war, they shall im mediately be set at liberty, without ran- | which are yet full of the remembrance of som. IX. As the French Republic and the Sublime Porte, by the present treaty, wish to place their states reciprocally in the situation of the most favoured powers, it is expressly understood that each state grants to the other, all the advantages which have been or shall be granted to any other powers, in the same manner as if they were expressly stipulated in the present treaty. X. The ratifications of the present treaty shall be exchanged within eighty days, or sooner if possible, at Paris. Done at Paris, the 6th of Messidor, of the year ten (June 25, 1802, or the 24th of Safernair, the year of the Hegira 1217. (Signed) Cb. Mau. Talleyrand. Esseid Mobamed Said Ghalib Effendi. Buonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, President of the Italian Republic, to the Senate of the Ligurian Republic, July 30, 1802. Proclamation of the Bishop of Passau. "On the 10th, two columns of Bavaro Palatine troops, infantry and cavalry, enter. ed the territories of this bishopric on each side the Danube, without making the ac customed requisitions, without any species of notification: a part of these troops proceeded against the capital; some pieces of artillery, accompanied by the necessary number of gunners, with matches in their hands, were sent against the gates, so that the fear of seeing the city occupied by vio lent means, became greater every instant. "Citizens Senators of the Ligurian Republic-The interest with which your nation inspires the French people, and the particuJar confidence which they do not cease to repose in me, render it my duty to contri-Such events are so extraordinary and alarmbute, as much as possible, to consolidate your tranquillity, and secure your independence and prosperity. "Genoa and its shores have been the theatre of a bloody war. I am pleased to recognize, that in the midst of the most terrible vicissitudes you have been faithful to, and made a common cause with, the great people. You have destroyed Oligarthy, which inspired different sentiments, and those factions which troubled your repose, compromised your credit, and placed your liberty in danger. Great powers may, perhaps, preserve resentment at your conduct, but the French people always considered your cause as their own. A constitution founded on equality, that first of benefits, consolidates your existence, whilst great provinces render compact and increase your territory. "Let what you have suffered be forgotten. Recollect what your fathers endured for the purpose of acquiring some miserable districts.
