From a New-York paper of theist inst.
PAR I S, February 10.
On the 6th instant an extraordinary meeting was
held at Comte de Vergennes's, of the Ministers, ne
gociators for peace. They were employed, it is said,
on the interests of Holland. It seems jt was agreed
that the Republick Should cede Negapatam to re
cover Tiinqucmale, and that the preliminaries, by
means of this accommodation, have been signed be
tween England and their High Mightinefles.
Mr. Benjamin Franklin having drawn out the ac
counts of the United States of America, and having
compared them with those produced by M. Ver
gennes, they are both found perfectly conformable.
It appears, it is laid, that North-America owe o to
Fiance eighty millions.
His Majesty acquits the Americans of interest du
ring the whole time of the continuance of the war.
He hath given to those new independents the liberty
of delaying payments till it is convenient for them.
They have requested twelve years to difeharge it, at
the rate of from fix to seven millions each year. It
is thought th t this proposal has been accepted.
They write from Cadiz, that on the 29th of last
month Don Barcello, having approached the St. Mi
chael in the road of Gibraltar, with twelve gun
boats and bomb vcffcls, fired upon her without in
termission ; that after being rcpulfed thirty times,
and not withstanding the fire from the garrison, which
did great damage to the Spaniards, he succeed
ed in fitting fire to that Ship, which Sunk to the
bottom.
It is reported that his Catholick Majesty hath made
the.Comte de Vergennes a grandee.
