ir, 
At nine this morning, having had 
_ the honour to receive your Ictters 
‘by Mr. Longuinoff, and written a 
few lines to you in addition to my 
' dispatches of last night, | went to 
_M. @Oubril; and as I am happy 
_ since to find, anticipated the con- 
_,tents of your dispatch of the 18th 
instant. 
I used every argument and means 
to obtain delay ; ‘engaged to break 
| off if he did: and, finally, autho. 
_ rised him to hold we hopes that I 
* would listen to propositions of in- 
_ demnity in lieu of Sicily for his Si- 
 Cilian majesty, if proposed by him 
_ and accompanied by a joint nego- 
_ tiation. 
I begged he would do nothing till 
_ after Basilico should have arrived, as 
I had learned by the telegraph, that 
he had landed last night. 
I did not find him disposed to 
x listen to me ; and, mot being willing 
to be too communicative “tawards 
* _ him at that moment, I went away. 
4 At twelve I waited upon M. Tal- 
ig Teyrand : he was not to be seen. 
_. At four I heard from good autho- 
_ rity that peace was signed, At six 
_ Basilico arrived. I then went to 
“M @Oubril. He was said not to 
_ be at home; but, seeing his carriage, 
T forced my way. He admitted the 
- fact, peace is signed ; the’ conditions, 
the evacuation Instanter of German y 
by the French troops; the inte- 
| Brity, &c. of the ‘Ottoman empire ; 
_ hoattempt to be made upon Swedish 
Pp Pomerania ; and, by a secret article,

Russia promises to obtain his Sici- 
lian majesty’s consent to an ex- 
change of Sicily for Mejerca, Mi- 
norca, and Ivica: Russia to use her 
good oflices to restore peace between 
France and England. 
I have not seen the treaty, but 1 
believe it contains nothing else ma- 
terial. 
M. d’Oubril sends a copy to 
count Strogonoil, aud goes himself 
to St. Petersburgh. IL had no pa- 
tience to listen to M. d’Oubril’s de- 
fence of his conduct, so I did not 
claim his good offices. 1 must have 
asked him officially to stay, which 
I did not choose to do. 
1 have the honour to be, sir, &c. 
Yarmouth. 
No. XXIII. 
Extract from a Dispatch from the 
Earl of Yarmouthto Mr. Secretary 
Fox, dated Paris, July 21, 1806. 
Received July 24. 
Sir, Paris, July 21, 1806: 
Isaw M. Talleyrand to-day. I 
can perceive that the terms of 
France are increased, but still not 
so much as the sudden defection of 
Russia had Jed me to -apprehend. 
Hanover, Malta, the Cape, and In- 
dia, remain pure and unsullied ; and 
I took an opportunity in conversa~ 
tion to protest, that come what come 
might, these were points 1 never 
would suffer to be mentioned, but 
as points agreed upon. 
M. Talleyrand demanded my 
powers, I did not think myself 
authorized, in the present circum. 
stances, to withhold them. 
General Clarke is named to treat 
with me. 
No. XXIV. 
Full Powers given to the Earl: of 
Yarmouth, which were communi.
