What intelligence there is Hirringrclate prin cipally to the peace, much talked of"; hut as I think the present government hrm and ftedfaft, there is little chance that France will Accept the' terms which Great Britain'tmy advance—they have however agreed to a fufpenf.on of arms—but how long it wiirremain I know not : The French are nevertheless making every exertion for another cam paign. The forced loan has been tolerably well [paid, and have heard but few murmuis on that head there is likewise a greater exertion in the ma rine, and we often calculate here, the fleets of France, Spain, and Holland as a great fuperiaiity for John Bull. The finances of this country feetn now to be the only difficulty which (he has to en counter. p too true ij- is, there is little cfcfh the frfafury . bin filch a country as this are r., without refourcei ; they are now framing a bank, and exerting themselves with such energy, as leaves no room to doubt, but they will soon have friends to carry 011 the war, or make peace to great ad vantage."
