ON MALTA from the Moniteur of the 20th of April 1803. Paris, April 20.-) -MALTA.-On his arrival, M. le bailli Buzi, minister plenip. and lieut. of the Grand Master, presented his letters of credence to the English commandant, Mr. Ball, and demanded of him the possession of the islands of Malta, Gozo, &c. Mr. Ball answered verbally, that he had no orders from his court authorizing him to evacuate those islands. -M. Buzi then wrote to the English commandant, and remarked, that the verbal communication did not appear to him to be sufficient; he, therefore, begged of him to explain himself in writing.-Accordingly Mr.Ball made a written communication to M. Buzi, dated March 2, and of which the following is an extract." You will have the goodness to observe, that it is certain the powers invited, conformably to the stipulations of the 10th article of the treaty of Amiens, to guarantee the independence of Malta, have not agreed to that measure; and that I have no authority to put an end to the government of His Brit. Majesty in this island, without special orders from my court.-Your Exc. will also observe, that it is my wish to dissuade the Grand Master from coming to reside here. In this view I beg you will recollect that I have already spoken to him.-With respect to your observation, that the Grand Master hoped to have immediate possession of the palace in Valetta, I have apprised you, that in the present circumstances, I am unable to comply with the wish of his Eminence, because it is indispensably necessary that his Exc., Gen. Villette and myself, should continue to occupy that house, on account of the official duties of our respective departments. I must, however, observe to your Exc. that, at the same time, I made

a tender of the palace Du Bosquet, which appeared to me a suitable residence, until he could enter upon the fonctions of his government: but as the palace Du Bosquet is at present unfurnished, I took the liberty to suggest, that it would be preferable, and much more convenient to the Grand Master, to remain some time longer in his present residence in Sicily; and especially, as it is no more than a day's sail from hence.-Finally, his Eminence may be assured, that the moment I shall be authorised to resign the government, I shall communicate the circumstance to him.-I have the honour to be, &c." "BALL."

M. Buzi seeing that the English commandant persisted in refusing to give up Malta to him, applied to the French minister for his good offices on the occasion.-M. Buzi, by a letter dated the 1st of March, represented anew to the English commandant, the inconveniencies which may result from his conduct; and, at the same time, informed him of his application to the French minister in order to obtain his interference. To this letter, the English commandant returned an answer, of which one phrase, as follows, is of essential importance. "I have the honour to assure you that I shall be always ready to co-operate with his Excellency the French minister, with respect to the tenor of the article in question (the 10th of the treaty of Amiens)."-The French minister in answer to the requisition of his interfe rence, immediately wrote to M. Buzi, and assured him that a just and faithful interpretation of the treaty left no doubt respecting the evacuation of Malta by the English, and the right of its possession by the order.--The French minister has transmitted to the Grand Master a copy of what he wrote on the occasion to the English minister, which was to the fol lowing effect :-"The minister plenip. of the French republic at Malta, has received the note which his Exc. the minister plenip. of his Brit. Majesty did him the honour to address to him, the 4th of March, in answer to that which the undersigned transmitted to him on the 2d day of that month.-Before he specially replies to this note, the French minister thinks it proper to state to his Excellency the minister of England that the ambas. extr. and plenip. of the Grand Master of the order of St. John of Jerusalem, has required by a formal application to the Fr. republic, the interference of its minister at Malta, in order to induce the English minister to forego his opposition to the immediate execution of the 10th article of the treaty of Amiens, and to concur in its accomplishment. The undersigned in considering the note which he has received from the minister plenip. of England, and also that which his Exc. has addressed to M. Buzi, perceives that both these notes contain a similar refusal to accede to the immediate execution of the article in question, and that in both this refusal is grounded on the same pretexts. His Exc. alleges that the powers invited under the article to guarantee the stipulated arrangements, not having acceded to the measure, he docs not think himself authorised to fulfil the article, and further that he has received no special instructions from his court, for resigning the gov of these Islands to the Grand Master of the order of St. John of Jeru salem. With respect to these two points the Undersigned has the honour to represent to his Exc. the minister of England: I. That the indepe dence of these islands, and arrangements respecting them, have been placed, by 6th paragraph of art. X. of the treaty of Amiens, under the protection and guarantee of six of the most independent powers of Europe. France and G. Britain, who were the contracting parties, and who have solicited the other powers to guarantee that clause of their treaty to

peace, cannot, without giving scandal, be the first to refuse to execute these arrangements, to insure that independence, and to grant that protection and guarantee.-II. That the invitation, set forth in the 13th par. of the said art. X. to the other powers to accede to the stipulations contained in that article, is only a mark of politeness, or an honour which these powers are at liberty to refuse but it is otherwise with regard to France and G. Britain, who have promised their protection and accepted the guarantee, by the very act of signing the treaty which contains the arrangements to be guaranteed, who thus have placed themselves at the head of the powers to whom the invitation was addressed.-III. That the non-contracting powers may refuse the guarantee, because it is a burthen which these powers are at liberty not to impose upon themselves: but how absurd would it be to believe the refusal could involve and effect the annulling of the treaty of peace, and exonerate from their engagements the powers that have signed it.-IV. That an attempt to take advantage of so frivolous a pretext, and so glaring a sophism, in order to decline doing what they themselves have consented to do, would be a breach of faith unworthy of a great power, and with which England would not most assuredly sully the page of her history.-V. That this delay in the acceptation of an honourable duty in the supposition that it exists on the part of the non-contracting powers, cannot, above all, prove injurious to a third power, that has been acknowledged and solemnly established by the contracting parties, unless the latter be disposed openly to violate their own engagements, the faith of treaties and the law of nations.VI. That Russia, Austria and Prussia, if they have not actually acceded, as the English minister pretends, to the invitation made to them, to accept the guarantee of the island, were far from imagining that by this delay they would have prevented the re-establishment of the order of Malta, the execution of the treaty of Amiens, or compromized the tranquillity of Europe. The undersigned requires of his Exc what these powers will think, when they find that their delay in acceding to the invitation has served as a pretext for the violation of so solemn a treaty of peaceAs to the daclaration made by the minister of England, that he had no special instructions from his court on the subject of the resignation of the govt. of the island, or its surrender to the G. Master, the undersigned have the honour of observing to his Exc., that in quality of minister plenip. to his Brit. Majesty, the principal and immutable rule of his conduct is contained in the treaty itself; and such was so clearly the intention of his court, that in the full powers given him, and which he interchanged with the undersigned, it is positively said, "You will, on your arrival at Malta, immediately inform general Vial that his Majesty, desirous of accomplishing, with the utmost fidelity, the engagement he contracted by the definitive treaty, wishes you to take, in concert with him, the necessary measures for giving effect to the stipulations contained in the 10th article of the treaty." His Exc. might be invested with another character in that island; but the Fr. Republic does not recognise these contradictory qualities, these opposing duties; and the undersigned sees, in the person of his Exc., nothing but the minister plenip. of his Brit. Majesty, charged with the execution and the maintenance of treaties.-The English minister has no doubt reflected duly on the consequences of an opposition which cannot fail to astonish all Europe. He ought to have seen that this refusal was a manifest violation of the treaty of peace, and that the Brit. government, to justify its intentions, and to give a striking proof of its good

faith, ought distinctly to disavow a conduct so little conformable to honour, and throw the whole odium on the minister who had resorted to it without a positive order. For if, contrary to al appearances, this violation of a treaty, which has given peace to the world, was not disapproved of by his Brit. Majesty, the First Consul of the Fr. republic would be reduced to the necessity of appealing to the tribunal of Europe, and then he would find as many allies as there are powers friendly to peace, and jealous of their dignity, their independence of the rights of sovereigns, and the rigorous observance of the faith of treaites.-Tre undersigned supports, therefore, in the most formal manner, the demands made to the English minister, in the name of the Gr. Master of the order of Malta, by his extr. minister plenip. M. Busi. Of consequence he demands the prompt and entire execution of the 10th art. of the treaty of Amiens. Both the French and English ministers have written complimentary letters to the Gr. Master. -The English minister gave the Gr. Master to understand, that it was his opinion it might be better for the Gr. Master to wait at Messina for the decision of the Brit. cabinet, which he promises to communicate to him as soon as it arrived; and he offered, in the mean time, a country house to the Gr. Master, should he be disposed to come to Malta.The Gr. Master observed in answer to the English minister, that having through the medium of his licut. fulfilled what was enjoined him by the article of the treaty of Amiens respecting the Gr. Master, he should wait at Messina the evacuation of the island, or the decision of the two courts.-The Fr. minister invited the Gr. Master to come to Malta without delay. The Gr. Master observed in answer, that having performed the duty imposed on him by the treaty of Amiens, by the presence of his lieut. at Malta, he must look upon every other proceeding as unseasonable at the present moment, and that he would wait at Messina the decision of the courts.Moniteur.

Paris, April 20.-We read in the English journal named The Sun, of Saturday, April 16, the following article:"M. de Thomasi, present Gr. Master of the island of Malta is not only a creature of French intrigue, but M. de Busi his lieut. is a Frenchman; no doubt naturally devoted to France. Supposing the guarantee announced in the Moniteur to have been actually obtained, could England have, even under such a guarantee, any assurance that the possession of it would not be in fact French, since the lieut. of the Gr. Master, in contempt of the stipula tions of the treaty of Amiens, which bear that no Frenchman shall belong to the order of St. John of Jeru salem -The same asse tions are, w ta simular confidence, repeated in all the English papers of the same day, these being all written in the same spirit. It is, however, grossly false, that the commander Bailli Busi is a Frenchman. He is of an ancient Italian family, which has been for several centuries resident in a town in the Papal dominions, about nine leagues distant from Rome. M. Bailli Buzi was born in that town-Certain English journalists have a wonderful knack at making absurd suppositions to be followed by imputations which are not less absurd. They reason with the same good faith and logic as the wolf in the fable. We recognise here the inclinations and spirit of that ferocious beast, but we do not see any lamb ready to let itself be devoured.Moniteur.

FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

Cape François, March 6.-On the 22d ult. the division of Leghorn, consisting of several thousand men, effected its disembarkation. This augmen

tion of force re-animated the courage of the colonists. European merchandize has considerably risen in price. Confidence increases in proportion to the measures which have been employed for the reduction of the rebels.-General Rochambeau has just transferred his head-quarters to Port-au-Prince, whither the civil and military administrations also proceed. The rebels have retired two leagues from the Cape. No delay will now take place in the opening of the campaign: already some hundreds of negroes have returned to the habitations of the plain. The epidemic has not made any ravages here; and, what is equally fortunate, we approach nearly the propitious season.

Constantinople, March 16-The new French ambassador has made, within these few days past, his private visits. He has been received every where in the most distinguished manner. The people appear to see with the greatest pleasure the re-establishment of amicable relations with France; above all, the commercial relations. The ministers of the Porte do not shew less eagerness in seconding the views of their sovereign, whose wish is declared for the re-establishment of the ancient political system which unites so intimately the empire of the crescent to France. On the 6th instant the Grand Vizir gave a superb fete to General Brune.

Toulon, April 13.-Rear-Admiral Lesseigues has arrived in this port with the squadron which conveyed General Brune, the French Ambassador, to Constantinople. He stopped at St. John d'Acre on his return, where he was perfectly well received by Djezzar Pacha. He left Alexandria on the 30th March. The English evacuated it on the 17th March. 'Since their departure, tranquillity appears to be reestablished in Egypt. The Mamelouks were cantoned in Upper Egypt. The Rear-Admiral anchored at Malta in the midst of the English squadron, which was composed of ten ships of war. The 4000 men who had returned from Alexandria were performing quarantine at the lazaretto. In all the seaports in the Levant, to which he went for the purpose of installing the commercial commissioners, they were received by the Turks with every mark of esteem, and every demonstration of joy.

Moniteur.

Amsterdam, April 15.-The French troops which daily arrive on our frontiers, continue their march into the interior of the republic. At present they occupy Nimeguen, Grave, Gorenchem, and other places. The English squadron has appeared within these few days upon our Coasts.

Hague, April 15.--There have been but six or seven hundred men disembarked of the troops who were to have sailed for Louisiana. The reason for disembarking them is, that they were too much crowded on board the ships. Vice-Admiral Hartsink has just sailed for the Mediterranean.-Our government has received assurance from France, that no more French troops shall enter our territories, unless in the event of a rupture with England; and that those who have entered shall not pass the frontiers as long as the negotiation lasts.

Ratisbon, April 16.-The Imperial ratification of the last conclusum of the diet is expected here on the 20th, at which epoch the diet will resume its sittings. It was said that the delay of the ratification has principally arisen from the sending a courier to Petersburgh from the court of Vienna, which judged it proper to enter into some explanations with the Emperor of Russia, before giving its sanc- tion to this decision of the empire.

Strasbourg, April 17.-Besides the troops of the 104th demi-brigade, which are on their return from Switzerland, we expect here 5000 infantry and a

regiment of cavalry, by which our garrison will, be increased to 11000 men. It appears that these troops will form a camp a little distance from this city.

Brussels, April 17.-The English squadron which was lately seen off Ostend, consisted of six frigates and some cutters. They eruized along the coasts of Flanders and Zealand, to the mouth of the Meuse, where it was supposed they would join another squadron of three sail of the line and two frigates, to watch the expedition which was to sail to Louisiana; but as that expedition it now suspended, they will probably still cruize along the coasts of Holland. to observe the military preparations which are carrying on.

Basle, April 19.-An arrêté has been published here of general Dejean, director in chief of the administration of war, which orders, that the French troops stationed in Switzerland shall not receive for the future any rations of meat, and that the officers shall no longer have forage. He remarks in general, that by this arrêté the military administra tion will have an entirely new organisation, advantageous for the troops and for the inhabitants of Switzerland.

Brussels, April 20.-All the pieces of the telegraph destined to establish the communication between Brussels and Lisle, arrived the day before yesterday at Alost. The telegraphic line will traverse the ci devant Flanders, and will be finished and in full activity before the arrival of the First Consul. The geographical engineer, Chappe, director and inventor of telegraphs, has determined all the positions. It is understood that the telegraphic line will be continued by Antwerp unto the frontiers of the Batavian republic.

Brussels, April 22.-General Belliard is at present employed in examining the coasts of Dutch Flanders. He has given directions for the establishment of military posts, such as they were in the last war. In the island. of Cadsand, the batteries and entrenchments are completing with the greatest celerity. A part of the French troops that have arrived at the island of Walcheren, are cantoned on the heights. They amount to about 6000 men. The English squadron cruizing off our coast, has been increased within these few days.

FOREIGN OFFICIAL PAPERS.

Translation of a Letter from the Marquis de Casa Yrajo, to the Sec. of the U. States.-Washington, March 10, 1803. "Sir, When you represented to me, towards the end of November last, that the port of New Orleans had been shut against the Citizens of the United States, without the assignment of any equivalent place of deposit for their merchandise on the banks of the Mississipi, according to the stipulation of the 22d article of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between the King my master, and the United States, I did not hesitate to declare to you, that I considered this measure as flowing solely from the mistaken zeal of the Intendant of Louisiana, without the approbation, and even without the knowledge of my Court. I well knew the sincere desire of the King my master to live in peace and good harmony with the United States, as I well knew the scrupulous good faith with which the Spanish Government fulfils the engagements which it forms, particularly when they are founded on the solemnity of a Treaty.I have now the satisfaction of informing you, that my first opinion has been verified, and of declaring, in the most positive terms, that the proclamation of the Intendant is an act purely personal, without the sanction, and even without the knowledge of his

Catholic Majesty. In reality, if the said proclamation had appeared here in an entire state, no doubt could have taken place as to the source of this proceeding. But the operative part thereof merely has circulated through the United States; the preamble introducing it having been, probably without design, omitted. I have therefore the honour to communicate herewith an entire and correct copy of the aforesaid proclamation; and by the expressions I have underlined, it will be clearly seen that the arrangement is absolutely personal, and has originated from the faculties which the Intendant supposed to be incident to his station.

This assertion is not founded merely on the obvious inferences from these expressions. The Intendant himself declares it to me in the most positive terms, in a letter of January 13, which I have just received from him, and the Governor of the province confirms the same thing with the same solemnity, in another letter of the same date. Neither the one nor the other dispute the right of the Citizens of the United States to a place of deposit on the Spanish banks of the Mississippi; but the Intendant thinks that the term of three years, allowed for the purpose of New Orleans, having expired, and much prejudice to the royal interests being experienced from its continuance in that city, it was incumbent on him to suspend the deposit there, without venturing to take on himself the assignment of another equivalent place. Not because he doubted the right of the inhabitants of the United States thereto, but because it appeared to him to be an act exceeding his authority, and which he ought to leave to the Royal determination of our Sovereign.-The Governor of Louisiana saw the subject under a point of view more correct, in my judgment, and more favourable to the inhabitants of the United States.-From the whole, it results that the suspension of the deposit not being an act of my Court, and no person ever disputing the right of the American Citizens in the case, shall now take upon myself to adopt measures which must insure to the United States the enjoyment of all the rights stipulated in the 22d article of the Treaty, on the arrival at New Orleans of the dispatches, which will be forwarded under this date."

DOMESTIC.

Meeting of Ship-Owners.-On Tuesday the 26th inst. there was a numerous and respectable meeting of persons concerned in the shipping interest, held at the London Tavern. Mr. P. Kennion was voted to the chair.--Mr. Atcheson, the secretary, informed the meeting, that in consequence of the instruction which he had received from their committee, he had endeavoured to get a copy of the consolidation schedule. This, however, he had found it impossible to obtain. But he had seen and read it; and there could be no doubt that it was the intention of Mr. Addington to continue the tonnage duty. Mr. Brown moved a resolution, expressive of the impolicy of the duty, and declaratory of their opinion of its injuring the carrying trade, and materially affecting the commerce of the country.-Mr. Hill observed, that the committee had been entrusted with powers to make application for the repeal of that duty, which was so obnoxions to the persons concerned in the shipping trade, and in fact so subversive of the general commercial relations

of the country. This they would have done, but that the important change in the aspect of political affairs had induced them not to shew any thing like an inclination to embarrass the intentions of Government at this momentous crisis. A few days since, however, they had learned that it was the intention of Mr. Add. ington to renew the duty. A number of shipowners had thought it a duty incumbent on them, as a necessary measure of self-defence, to call the present meeting.-The resolution was read a second time, and agreed to unanimously. The secretary, in a short, but impressive speech, denied that the opposition to the tonnage duty was the effect of the influence of a few powerful individuals. It was the spontaneous act of the whole budy of the shipping interest, conscious how much their interests were affected by its oppressive operation.- Mr.Akenhead spoke warmly against the tax. The thanks. of the meeting were unanimously voted to the L.Mayor, for the part he had taken in the opposition to the tax, and his Lordship was requested to continue his exertions for the attainment of the important object of its repeal.---The thanks of the meeting were then moved to the late and present chairman, and the meeting adjourned..

Official dispatches have been received from Sir Roger Curtis, announcing that the Cape of Good Hope was actually surrendered to the. Dutch on the 21st of February last. These dispatches were brought by the Penguin sloop of war, of 18 guns, which had just reached Portsmouth from this quarter, after a passage of two months and two days. It was surrendered in consequence of advices received to this effect by the Concorde. Prior orders for retaining it had been received a short time before, not only by the Imogene, but by the Fiorenzo frigate, capt. Bingham.---On the 20th of February a proclamation was issued by general Dundas, absolving all the inhabitants of the colony from their oath of allegiance. to. His Britannic Majesty.---Sir Roger Curtis and his squadron, with the troops, may be expected in a few days. They were to sail the latter end of Feb. An officer and a few men came home in the Penguin.

hope, it will not pass into a law, till it has undergone a cool and ample discussion.- At the present moment, we have not room to give our humble opinion upon it; but we cannot refrain from pointing out three things, which appear to us as objectionable: 1. the ex post facto provisions contained in the first and second clauses of the bill, as far as they go to impair the just demands of the persons, by whom informations have been laid against non-resident clergymen : 2. The list of exceptions, in the eleventh clause, is, we think, by far too copious: 3. The power given to the bishop, in the fifteenth clause, to allow of residence out of the parsonage-house, in case the person having the living, or any one of his relatives, should have a house in the parish, wherein the parson should reside. We have not room to go into any remarks even upon these points, and have only just mentioned them here, in order to direct towards them the serious attention of our readers.

AMERICA AND LOUISIANA.-Our conjectures respecting the conduct of France towards the United States of America, relative to Louisiana and the Mississippi, are now completely verified. By letters, which we have received, dated 23d of March, it appears, that, in consequence of a communication from the Spanish Minister in Ame rica to the American government, and of a more important communication to the same, from Mr. Chancellor Livingston, the American Minister at Paris, the whole dispute respecting the deposit at New Orleans, has been, as we said it would be, entirely hushed up for the present.-The Spanish Minister in America, who is nothing more than a tool of the French, states, that the hostile measure at New Orleans originated in a mistake of the Intendant at the port! And Mr. Livingston tells his government, that France has not the least inclination to violate any of the rights, or abridge any of the privileges, now enjoyed by the Americans, in virtue of their treaty, made with Spain, in 1795.-The consequences will be such as we pointed out in p. 297, of the present volume, to which we beg leave to refer our readers. And, one of the steps, which we are taking to prevent these consequences, is, the sending, as our Minister to the United States, ANTHONY MERRY, Esa.!!!!! This gentleman will make a noble figure by the side of GENERAL BERNADOTTE, who is now upon the point of his departure for that country. Poor Mr. Merry! What can he do? What use will he be of? His hand will not be wanted to counter-sign pass-ports in America. There are no crouching English nobility there, whom he may serve as gen
