I did not find him disposed to listen to me ; and, not being willing to he too communica tive towards him at that moment, I went away. At twelve, I waited upon AI. ■ Tagcyrand : he was not to be seen. At four 1 heard, from good authority, that peace was signed. At six Basiiico arrived. I then went to M. D’Oubril. Ile v. as said not to be at home; but, see ing his carriage, 1 forced my way. He admitted tfic fact, peace in signed; the conditions—the evacuation instantcr of Germany by the French troops; the in tegrity, fee. of the Ottoman Empire ; no attempt to be made upon Sweedish Pomerania ; and, by a secret article, Rus sia promises to obtain Sicily for Majorca .Minorca, and lvica. Russia to use her, good offices to restore peace between France and England. I have not seen the treaty, but I be lieve it contains nothing else material. Al. D’Oubril sends a copy to Count Strogonoflf, and goes himself to St. Pe tersburg!’.. I had no patience to listen to M. D’Oubril’s defence ofhis conduct, so 1 did not claim his good offices.

I can perceive that the terms of France are increased, but still not so ranch as the sudden de fiction of Russia had led me to apprehend. 1 lanover, .Malta, the Cape, anti India, remain pure and unsullied ; at:d I took an opportunity in conversa tion to protest, that come what might come, these were points 1 nevpr would suffer to be mentioned, but its points a greed upon.

Extract from a dispatch from the ‘Earl of Yantiout to Air. .Secretary Fox, dated Paris, July 24, 1806—Re ceived July 28. Paris, July 34, 1306. SIR, I had the honour to send by M. De I.onguinofV, dispatches .acquainting you, for his majesty’s information,of the peace signed between the Russian and French Plenipotentiaries, and with as accu rate a statement of the terms as 1 was able to obtain. AI. D’Oubril himself set out for Peter,sburgh early on the morn ing of the 22d. On the 22d, I received the official no-, tific.ition of the appointment of General Clarke tc treat on the part of France (a copy of which 1 have the he honour to inclose, marked A.) preceded by a pri vate communication from M. Talley-’ rand, saying, that the Russian peace be ing-signed, and the season of the year favourable to the accomplishment of the’ •interior v iews ol France, no arrangement which might remove for some weeks, or even months, a definitive treaty, could now take place. i answered the official note (marked \) with one, a copy of which 1 enclose (marked B). In the evening general Clarke propo ’sed a conference for the following morning, at which vvc should mutually exchange our full jxiwers. We accor dingly diil so, anti 1 have the honour to inclose (marked C) a copy of those of gen. Ll.u fie, This conference began by an histori cal recapitulation ol what had previous ly passed, gcnaral C larke saying, he had not yet received his final instructions on all the different points in discussion ; j it was therefore agreed to adjourn the conference to this day, when each should come prepared with a memorandum of the intentions ofhis government, found ed on what had already passed ; gene- 1 ml Clark at the same time declaring, that a separate peace with Russia was to be considered equ.-l, or superior, in the present circumstances of the world, to liny great success in war, and conse quently as entitling France to terms much more advantageous than those to which she would have subscribed some da vs ago. This was accompanied by sotue animadversions upon the conduct of Russia—to which I could only an swer, that 1 felt it my duty to abstain from any remark, and should, therefore, lie entirely silent upon that subject; but that 1 could assure him, that if an inten tion existed of making any change in the great points upon which we had such positive, though certainly not official, as surances, namely , Ins majesty’s German dominions, Malta, and the Cape, 1 must consider the ncgociation as stopped in limine, and that there would remain onlv forme to return to England, and acquaint the king that no peace, consistent with his majesty’s honor or that of the coun try, could bo made. General Clarke reverted to his want of full instructions, and promised to meet me properly pre p tied the next day. At three o’clock this day, I again met general ('ku’fcc when I read a paper, a copy of-which 1 honor to J close/marked D),coiitaihing the a!.strait oi what 1 had a,ways stated to be the ba sia and terms on which his majesty con id alone consent to treat. I did not, how ever, deliver it to him, considering it merely as the heads of past conversa tions. General Clarke then said, it was im possible I could be prepared with the as sent ofhis majesty to the arrangement proposed by Russia for his Sicilian ma jesty, on which the terms might much depend. I must consider the commu nication he made as not strictly official in point of form, but as depending only on that circumstance to make il so. General Clarke proceeded to state, that, in the situation 1 ranee was in at this moment, the Emperor would fix ! authorised t/i withhold some of the great points ; but that having repeatedly said the contrary, though not in an official manner, he would alkile by it. General Clarke first conversed about his Majesty's German dominions. Gn tills subject, by secret articles, any thing his majesty thinks right nray be stipu lated : by the public article, the promise not to object to some acquisition of tet - ritory to be made by Prussia. I stop ped general Clarke here to say, that his majesty never could consent to the king of Prussia’s obtaining the IHnse towns. Gen. Clarke said, that it was l’ulda, Hoya and some other trilling principalities, over which it was proposed to extend the sovereignty of his Prussian majesty, but that the independence and preseat state ol the Ilanxe Towns should not ie meddled with. j On the subject of Alalta—Malta, Co- j zo, and Conino in full sovereignty U< kis I majesty, with a clause in the article, tc-j claratory of the dissolution of the order, and that the two powers nCii connr.issmi ptusVexistance.

Clarke proposed an article, a copy of | which I have the honour to send (marked I E). 1 told him the usual full cause! would be sufficient; he persisted that I should send for his majesty’s coiside ration. 1 o the usual full clause of the integ rity of the territories and possessions of his most faithful majesty, gen. Clarke weighed upon a proposed addition to the word “jiartout,” [“in every jiatt af the world ;”] and when asked for explana tion, said, he thought his Britanic ma jesty might occupy some of his most’ faithful majesty’s foreign possessions. Ihe integrity ol his Swedish majes ty’s dominions in the usual manner. Having dismissed these points, General Clark stated the demands of France : Pondicherry, St. Lucie, Tobago, Suri nam, Coroe, Demeraru, Berbice, Essc quibo. > The recognition in the usual words, “ ext retionnu,” [ is recognized”] of the different branches of the reigning fami ly i of the electors of Bavaria and Wn temburgh as kings ; of the new dukes of Cleves, Baden, and Darmstadt. In discussing for many hours these demands; I never for an instant admit ted the possibility of his majesty con senting to the cessions requited, I sought, however, to ascertain to what extent, and iu what manner, they could be modifi ed.

From the borders of the Ems, undet* date of die 11th, it is stated, that they ha- c received from London, details Ve ry alarming respecting the present si tuation of Ireland. .1 he spirit oi discon tent and sedition which manifested itself there in the beginning of November, has not been appeased by the measure* of severity which the government In.a, .displayed. Ini vain has it caused the arrest of a great number; in vain the principal , chiefs of the revolt have been brought. ’ before special commsssions, the rail has j only extended itscl!, and the ihsurrec-* ’ tion has taken a character so serious in } the greater psrt of the counties, that tho j government lias judged it necessary to send a large number of troops into Ire land. Hitherto the north of this kingdom, has nearly always remained cairn in the midst of tiie seditions whidi had front time to time, broke out in the other parts ; but nuv. it appears to follow the goncralimpiikc; the minds fenuentthevo as in other place-., and a great number of individuals arc named who have been arrested in consequence of the sedition -1 lie prisons have been threatened in various places, Sc the prisoners demand ed with loud crit by the multitude.—-, Ihe number of discontented augment • day by day ; and it is believed, that if go vernment does not fall upon some mean* to arrest the progress of insurrection, if “til be one es the most serious, of which the kingdom of Ireland has been tins theatre. It appears that the discontent r firs? broke out on the subject of the tnhes, which tiie people cf Ireland do not like to see framed out to individuals, as thev have bra -fi, who make an object of specu lation of them and ascot: raw of fortune* The imposts, which arc said to be une qual to the abilities of the people to pay them, has also been in some counties,* subject of complaint, and the apparent? motive for trouble and disorder. RICHMOND, [Y.] February 6. Ihe unfortunate circumstance ol that death of Air. John M-LhtDiE, which took place at'the barracks c; the public guard, on la-t Vv ednesciay’ evening, t art. never be too much lamented. The de plorable situation ot his affeciionate con sort, thus unexpectedly deprived ol tho partner of her Life ; and the irreparable loss sustained by his children, who, in one? short moment, have become orphans* must excite the commiseration of every* feeling heart. His acquaintances also have much cause of regret at the prema turuc death ofa gentleman, esteemed Sc respected by them all. On such an occasion it is natural that the public mind should be considerably agitated. The circumstances which at tended this crtastroplic, ought therefore* to be correctly known:— A fire having broken out in the house of Mr. Shields, in the neighborhood of the barracks, the alarm hell was rung, and Mr. ALCrctiie, among other citizens was running hastily towards the place, for the purpose of assisting in extin guishing the flames. lie was passing the barracks, and was three times hailed by the ccntinci on guard; but (it: conse quence of his eagerness to get to the. scene of the fire, his being cum f breath, or some other cause which ‘cannot now lie ascertained,) did not ‘answer ; and was pushing on directly towards the cefi tir.el, in his way to Mr.- Shield’s with hiS buckets in his hands; when the ccii— tinel fired his musket, and shot him dra and on the spot. It is reported that at tho moment the piece was presented, a gen tleman accompanying Air. Al’Crcdte, called out, “ don’t shoot; it is Air. Ab- Credie but the words was pronounced too late; the trigger, unluckily, having been drawn nearly at the same instant. 1 he ccntinci, whose name is V. illiatrt. Nash, is now in custody, and the coro ner’s inquest have found it wilful mur der. Although we are not disposed by any me ans to injure the prisoner, by ‘fore stalling the public opinion before his tri al, we think it proper to mention trie information we have received from the best authority, that the conduct of the ccntinci was in direct opposition to the orders given by the governor to the officers and soldiers of the public guard* 1 hose orders have always been, not to fire at any individual, except in cases pf great necessity; as will appear by an extract frpm a letter of Governor Mon roe to Captain Quarrier, dated May sth, ISC2; in which, on the subject of the duty of the reminds, he expressed him self as follows: “In general, they should be cautioned not to direct their piece with a view to strike the object; but, ir* cases where they are of opinion the per son is bent on some evil design, such as to take or surprise the centinel, or get into the capitol to take the fire arms or ; other public property. Sometimes pei j sons intoxicated may pass near the cyn ) tine!, or even insult him. In such cases j It would be much to be regretted if such persons should be killed. If they be kept I at a distiuice by the point of the bat ohetj 1 it will be,sufficient.” J The orders contained in that letter | have been confirmed and repeated by Governors Page and Cabell. The Supreme Court of Pcnsylvaniu have ordered a .M u-Trial in the case < f ! Patrick Lyon, against the President and j Cashier of the Penny 1 vania Bank etc. jlt wiH be remembered, that Air.
