HIS Britannic Majefcy defiring, as he has alrea
dy declared, to contribute as far as depends on
hitnfelf, to the re-eftablilhmenL of public tranq iili

ot Europe ; hi4 Mi’j-itv is of opinion, that the be ft
means of attaining with all poffible expedition, the
falutary end, will be tp agree, at the beginning of
the negotiation, on the general principle which
I hall ferve as a bafts for the definitive arrangements.
The fir ft object of the negotiation for peace, ge
nerally relate to the reftitutions and ctfllon? which
the refpective parties have mutually demanded, in
confeqoence of the events ol war.
. Great-Biitain. after the uninterrupted fuccefs of
her naval w'ar, finds herfclfin a lituariorr to have
no reititution to demand of France, from which,
on the contrary, the has taken elrabli'hments and
colonies of the higheft importance, and ot a value
almoft incalculable.

inrerefis of his people and the tit oft (acred engage

The magnanimity of the King, his inviolable
good faith, and his deiire to refrore repofe to (o
many nations, lead him, in this fitnation of ati'iirs,
to con(id*r the means of procuring term?; of peace,
juft and eqnii .hie for ail tile belligerent powers,
calculated to cnfurc, in future, the general tranqui

Jt is on this footing then, that he propofes to
negotiate, by off: ring to cotnpenfare France, hv pro
portionable reft trillions, for thole arrange.nni is to
which the will be called upon to confent, in order to
