THE NATIONAL REGISTER. ton Don, SUNDAY, DIWEMBER 12. IMPORTED NEGOCIATIONS. It was yesterday confidently stated that the Earl of YAR MOUTH had gone abroad on a pacific mission. This was con tradicted in last night's Coterier, and appears entirely un founded, at least as far as the selection of this nobleman. hive a sutcient number of British Ambassadors at the bead quarters of the Allies to form a whole diplomatic corps, without the presence of his Lordship, whose services besides could not be easily spaied at Carlton-House. Yet that some negociations are actually on foot and with' the knowledge and concurrence of our Government inclined to believe. Trifie3 sometimes lead to the discol;eries, thus the simple fact of the Lord Chain 's having forbidden two stanzas of the finale of the we ar e greategt bellaiii s., THE NATIONAL REGISTER., % • DIC:It. new patriotic effusion," Orange Boven." to be sung, because they contained some personal abuse of NAPOLEON, seems to indicate that there are seine extraordinary motives for this marked for bearanee towards the French Ruler. These are of course construed into a wish not to uselessly irritate a mau with whom we are secretly treating. Coupled with the fol lowing statement in a private letter dated Frankfort the 29th ult." Something is going on here, but nothing has yet tran spired, though they say, fir certain, that a French agent is at this moment at • Frankfort." And the prevailing opinion r in France is, that the postponement of the meeting of the French Legislative Body, arose from the wish of Buonaparte previously to ascertain the result of some pacific overtures which be had made to the Allies. It certainly does not appear improbable that excess of peril, and the failure of his aPpeals to the French Nation, may have in duced N APOL EON to offer such terms, as not to be deemea unworthy of consideration. FRENCH WIPERS. French Papers were received yesterday to the Bth inst. Their contents are as usual of late, barren of important in-, telligence. All the ingenuity of the Government is now employed in disguising the features of passing events. Lit tle by little, however, the truth begins to transpire, and as the public mind grows enlightened, the rulers of the press are compelled to admit some straggling facts into their pa pers, which, by the unconnected manner and the apparent indifference in which they are introduied, tend to diminish in the opinicn of the people the importance of the events themselves to which they relate. Thus, what idea can a Parisian form of the Revolution in Holland when be only hears that " Admiral VER H EUI L, with a le spectable force, seconds the opera ions of the other French Generals ?"• He must suppose that the insurrection is really too inconsiderable to deserve ampler notice, and with that conviction his fears must naturally subside, and any dis position to resist the tytanny by which he is oppressed, must die within him; The only other fact mentioned in these papers respecting Holland, is the arrival of Gen. FERI: 0 at Gorcum, with a strong detachment of French infantry. Had it been added, that he had reached that place on his retreat from the interior of the Dutch territory, a clearer in sight would have been gained into the real state of affairs in that quarter. • Unable to repel the Allies Eons the banks of the Rhine by the force of arms, NAP OL-EON. has suddenly conjured ul► a general dysentry which he tells his people destroys them by thousands and weakens them so opportunely for the fort uncs of France, that they are struck with total incapacity to pro ceed. Our last official accounts are totally silent on the subject, so that this pretended super-human interference in behalf of the "sacred territory," is probably as true as the vic tories which BEA UH A RNOIS incessantly gains in Italy, with out ever advancing, the joy with which the anniversary of NAPOLEON'S coronation has been celebrated at Paris, or the asserted retreat of part of our army into Spain, and the exist ence of discontents at Cadiz against us, with which- these papers try to make the people forget their sufferings; and to deceive the world.
