jl EW domeftic occurrences of this month are of any particular importance to the general purport of this Hiftory. The Parlia- ment proceeded in pafTing the Alien and Affignat Bills. M. Maret, who had returned again from France with enlarged pow- ers of negociating for peace, had feveral conferences with our Minifters, who ftill rofe in their tone of difdainful rejection. The example of Spain, which had, in the preceding month, en- tered into a treaty of neutrality with the Executive Power of Fr...ance, was ftrongly urged as a precedent for our negociating without humbling ourfelves in the eyes of Europe. The Spa- nifn negociation was fo emphatically the immediate a£t of the S 138 short History of Crown, that it was actually commenced under the adminiflra- tion of the Count d'Aranda, and completed under that of the the Duki d'Alcudia. All, however, was in vain : it was our inevitable fate to be plunged into the miferies and difgrace of this myfterious and ruinous confederacy. Maret returned to France under the mortification of having failed alfo in this fe- cond miffion to the Britifh Cabinet.
