The public was several weeks ago inform
ed that Count de CobeifUtl, late ambaffa
, dor of his imp-rial majesty at St. Peters
, burgh, had been appointed to a poll of great
) importance. He ordered every preparation
1 nifceflary for a long journey, to be made,
and eDgaged four cooks and a number of
- servants to attend him ; but the place of his
I destination remained unknown. It is now
confidently asserted that he will in a few days
1, set off for Paris, as his majesty's minister
J plenipotentiary near the French republic,

d Reports were circulated this day, that
o the definitive treaty of peace between the
y Emperor and the French republic had been
le concluded ; but this event has not yet been
jf officially n;adc known. It is however, ex

3t fortnight be fettled. Yet much depends
t- upon the iffue'of the negoeiatioa at Lisle,

it. with that of England. It is very well
to know* that France wishes to make peace
