The following is a copy of a printed hand-bill
received on Saturday night last from Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, February 5.
Yesterday arrived the schooner Harlequin, Captain
White, in 14 days from St. Kitts, by which we
have the following important intelligence :
Extract of a letter from St. Kitts, dated the 15th of
January, 1783, brought by the Harlequin.
" I congratulate you on the news of peace; indeed
l may venture to assure you that it has already
taken place in Europe. Letters from England as
late as the 29th of November mention, that it was
expected to happen in a few days. The parliament
was prorogued from the 26th of November to the
sth of December, on that account.
" Letters from Dominica and Guadaloupe fay,
that the preliminaries are actually signed ; for my
own part, I have do doubt of it, though there are
some people here who have; a few days, or perhaps
hours, will probably put us out of fufpence.
"Trade, at St. Thomas's, is entirely at a Band;
they are all thunderftrack."
BASSETERRE, January 15.
The important and agreeable intelligence of a
PEACE being concluded between the belligerent
powers, which has circulated here for some time,
gains ground daily, and seems now to be confirmed ;
we heartily with it to be true : It is said that the in
telligence comes from good authority, and that the
Anson, of 64 guns, is absolutely arrived at Barba
does, from England, with that interesting news.—
The terms are said to be, America to be acknow
ledged an independent date by all parties, the loy
alists to be reimbursed for all their losses, and such
of them as choose, may remain peaceably in Ame
rica ; but if they quit, they may fell their proper
ty, and have a grant of land in East or Weft Flori
da, Nova-Scotia, Canada or Porto-Rico ; which
places are to be given to England, and guaranteed
by the powers at war; Gibraltar and Minorca to
be given to Spain in lieu of Porto-Rico, and all
places and islands taken by either party to be reci
procally restored, except Grenada, which France is
to hold to reimburse her for the expences of the war.
This last article is not certain, as the court of
England absolutely refufed giving up Grenada, and
it is not known what party has yielded their claim;
but if we might be allowed an opinion, we think
France has, as that iftand is not worth the expence
of another campaign.
We are just informed, that an American vessel
from I'Orient, arrived a day or two ago, at Gua
daloupe, and brings a confirmation of the peace.
TRENTON, February 12.
By letters from New-York, we are informed of
the arrival of the King of Britain's speech, which
announces an approaching peace.—That Capt. Bar
ry, in the Alliance, who was arrived in Martinico
from France, brought news that the prelimina
ries,of peace were signed — And that several letters
from the Weft-Indies declare peace to be actually
concluded.
*, Just as this paper was ready for press, we
were favoured with the speech above-mentioned,
which we have printed in a supplement.
O Cash for Mr. Morris's notes. Enquire of
