Died this morning, at his lodgings in this city, Nathan Bryan, Esq. one of tlie Members of the House of Repre sentatives of tlie United States from the (late of North Carolina. June 5. The dispatches from our Envoys at Paris, this day communicated by the President of the United States to both Houses of Congrefis, consist of a letter dated on tlie 9th of March last, encloiing minutes of two confe rences, obtained at the instance of tlie Envoys, on the 2d and 4th (or 6th*) of the fame month, with the Minister for foreign affitirs. At the fir ft conference Gen. Pinckney introduced the ccnveifiation, ky exprefiing the anxiety of the American Government anil Envoys to remove the fub lifting differences between the two countries. He said that many inadmillible propofirions for effecting that object had been received by them from M. Y* and that they had waited upon the Minister ,t# know whether other means might be deviled to obtain to deferable an end. In answer M. Talleyrand (aid that tlie Directory Were extremely wounded by the speech of, Gen. Waihijigton when about to retire from office, and by the firft and lad speech of Mr. Adumi, and tb s the explanations were required of the Envoys; ana th?a. previous to treating with them, the I)irettery .expetflcd I'ome proof on the part of the United States of a ; . • iiy dilpoiicion. Here M. Talleyrand al luded very mu iiiglLly to a loan. Gen. Pinckney having • intimated that a i<. would exceed their powers, M. Tal- I leyrand drew a cUilmftioii between adling contrary to in- I ftru&ions and acting in a case where they’ were filerit, and urged tiiat irrtile latter case it was their duty to use their diicretion for the public good. He said the principal objection of the American Government to a loan mud be its tendency to draw it out of a neutral situation, nd re marked, that there were several ways of obviating such an tfleet; liich as, a reliance on the lecrecv of Ffance, dif gtiifmg the loan, making it payable by distant inftalments, and France railing present supplies upon “he credit of it. To this it was ani .vered, that they conceived their instruc tions did not admit cf a lean; that the United States had resolved faithfully to maintain their neutrality;-that they would do nothing in fecrct which if known would arrange them among the belligerent powers; tiiat as thev could not, if leagued with Fi ance, furnilh either men or (flips of war, and money being tbe only thing that would be aiked o; them, to furnilli money was in fa£! to make war. The Mm lifer repeated the nCceility there was of proving out friendlhip for the Republic by fome immediate aid, or by fometbing which might avail them. In the courle of the converlation tlie Minilfer complained of the Envoys not having visited him, afel pfetended t’ at the original favor able difpolition of the Dlreftory had been a good deal al tered by tlie coldness a:id difiance wiiich the F.nvoys had obierved, because they lud not made private vijits to him, and laid lie conceived their not having had audience of the Directory ought not to have prevented it. Gen. Marlhall told him, that their feeing the Directory or not was an objtdt of no fort of concern to them, but that it was their opinion that, until their public character was in fome de gree recognized, they would not take upon themselves to a& as Miniffers. The Miniifer said that was very true, but that they might fee him as private tndtvidualsy and dilcufs tlie objects of difference between the two nations. At the lecond conference on the 4th (of 6th) the Envoys observed that they had previouily attended to the conversa tion they lud had with tlie Miniiter; that the proportions he had iuggelbd appeared to them*to be fubiUntially the fame with those made by Mellrs. X. and Y. and they ex plicitly declared that, in addition to those proportions, if acceded to, amounting to a declaration of war against Great Britain, their inltrifefions were express, not to stipu late any aids to France, either directly or indire£Uy, during the war. The conference on the part of the Minister chiefly confided of the remarks and propr fttions he had made on the 2d of the month. The Envoys several times told the Minister rhat, if it would be agreeable to the Di rectory, two of them would return to America to receive the inftruCtions of the Government on the actual situation of things, but they were unable to draw any reply from him. Thus ended the conference. * It is uncertain on which cf tbefe days tbe lajl con ference was held. Extract of a letter from Lijbin, ‘dated April 15. “ It is currently reported that the Portuguele Minister, who was fome time fence imprisoned at Paris, is re leafed; aud that the King of Spain has undertaken to make the peace of this country with France. I hope tlie resignation of the Prince of Peace from the office of Secretary of State in Spain will be produiflive of good effect; and it is reported,, and I was allured as (aft from the Spanilh Ambaffudor here, that a Spanilh frigate had failed from Corunna to England. It is also reported Admiral Mazzaredo has solicited a pass port from AdihirarPaikcr( oft’ Cadiz, to fuffer a Spanilh frigate to pals to England, which he complied with. Two frigates are arrived From Lima at Corunna with 7,000,000 dollars. Four out of five Spanilh fliips which failed from Montevido are taken by tlie Britifli squadron off Cadiz. An Engiifh Indiaman, with 5000 cliefts of tea, is taken and carried into Spain.” June 6. 1 lie following resolutions were proposed in the House of Representatives by Mr. Dwight Fuller: Whereas the French Republic, regardleis ;of thole prin ciples of good faith which ought to eftlure a due observance of treaties, Itave, hi various iu (lances, violated the express Itipulations of tlie treaties heretofore made and fubfiiting between the United States and the French Nation, in a manner highly injurious to tlie interest and honor of the United States, by re tfon UnitetTStates are relezfei from all obligation on tlicir part to refpcCt the laid - thereby, Refotet di That ris expedient to malce a Legifiative de claration, notifying the t’.tiz;*ns of the United States, and all others conceriad, that the said treaties are np longer obligatory upon States.

Refolvedy That provision ought to be made by law, granting a bounty, in proportion to tlie size and number of guns, on all armed velTels wbiefi fhnli be taken and brought into any of the ports of the United States belonging to the Republic of Francep or any other of the citizens thereof, or of its dependencies, or others failing under authority, or pretence of authority, from the fai i Republic.
