STATE PAPERS. 
~ put on shore on Sunday morning the 
3d, about eleven o'clock. At Ca- 
lais { received every mark of atten- 
tion and civility from the magistrates 
and the commanders of the army, and 
of the marine, as well as from the 
inhabitants of the place, who were 
in crowds on the shore, expressing 
their wishes for peace. 
I have now to inform you, that 
on Tuesday 1 got to Paris about 
twelve o’clock, when I immediately 
sent the énclosed note, (marked A.) 
to his excellency the minister for 
foreign affairs, from whom I soon 
afterwards received the answer, 
(marked B.) which I also enclose. 
At the hour appointed, I waited 
upon his excellency, with whom 1 
_ had a short conversation, in which 
his auxiety for your speedy recove- 
ry formed the principal topic. He 
informed me that general Clarke 
was the person named by the empe- 
ror to negotiate with lord Yarmouth 
and myself, and appointed this day, 
at eleven o’clock, for the formal 
exhibition of our powers. 
As the frequency of communica. 
tion gives rise to false speculations

Paris, August 7, 1806. 
Sir, 
I received in due time, and in 
their order, your several dispatches 
of the 28th ult. and the 2d and4 
3d inst. As no messenger has 
been dispatched from hence since the 
receipt of them, I have been obliged 
to defer till now replying to their 
contents, 
It was with great satisfactiou that 
I learnt by your dispatch of the 2d 
inst. the intelligence of lord Lawder- 
dale’s departure from England; as, 
independently of the advantages I 
must derive from communicating 
with a person charged with the latest 
and fullest instructions frem his ma- 
jesty, his arrival here afforded me 
the opportunity of evincing, in the 
clearest manner, that I had in no 
instance thought myself at liberty to 
depart from the basis, originally 
laid down as the only one on which 
his majesty’s ministers could consent 
to treat with the French govern- 
ment. 
It must be evident, that whatever 
delays have occurred in the negotia- 
tion, are imputable to France, and 
to the perpetual variation ef the 
terms proposed by her; and I had 
not failed, befere the receipt of your 
dispateh of the 3d instant, repeated. 
ly to do justice to the conduct of his 
majesty’s government in that res- 
pect. 
As in the line of conduct which I 
thought it my duty: t to observe pre-
