We yefterday mentioned our having letters from
Franktord of tfo* ml) uU. which mentioned, that
liute the return of Mr. Hainier from Paris, where
he had been for four days, with the committee of
public welfare, to B flin Switzerland, things au
pared favourably for peace. We can now lav, up
on pood authority, that peace is actually concluded
between the king of Prufsia and thcFrench republic.
The private letters from Dublin give the molt
alarming account of the ferment in that country —

Tlie rumour was, that Mr. Windham had written a

may poftpone his return beyond the 8th mfr.

Our head-quarteri are now at mi's place ,• and it
is the earned willi ofevery one that we may now
have a little reft. The (offerings and lols of the
army have been dreadful. In the march from A
tnesfort alone upwards of 3100 (oldiers were fro
zen to death, beiidea women and children. In one
of our marches daring the night, over a large fro
zen morais, where an accident obliged me to re
main behind the army near an hour, my only direc
tion, when the dawn came, to point out the route
the arnty had taken, was the ntiferable victims that
were lying every where dead, or dying of cold, fa
mine, or fatigue, in the route the army had taken.
In Ihort, no defeat could have had more dilaf
trous confequences than this unfortunate retreat
was attended with. Had our diftrefses proceeded
from the enemy, they would have been more fitffcr
able, but we owe them to the cowardice of our al
lies, and to other caules which it is unnecefsary to
enter into at prefent. The officers have ('offered
hut little compared with the men j for famine and
cold were the forms in which death attacked us and
thefe the officers could in fume meafure nuard a

The leading features of our l deft European in
telligence are not lo. bloody at formerly, but are.
newsnhelftis, equally interefti ng to the phijofopher,
the hiftoriau, and the poiitj ian. They may be
traced among the following, which we deem the
moft prominent :
The conclufion of a peace between theFrench and
the Grand Duke of Tuicany, the unanimity of the
Dutch, in organizing their conftirution ; the unhap
py fttuation of Poland, deprived of even the lem
blance of a:i independent government, and cut up
into peace meals, to regale the voracious appetites
of Ruflii, Anftriu, and Prulija ; and the refiguation
of the lord lieutenant of Ireland , which has again
convulfed that i fluid, and can fed orders to be usu
ed from Whitehall, peremptory commanding all
officers, regulars and militia, he longing to troops
in thelrilh fervice, to join their regiments immedi

In the Irilh Houle of Commons, on the 2d of

through this country, he could have deviled no
thing more malignant, nothing more mifchievocfly
luccefsful, than to raile the expectations of the Ca

Catholics do not feel hurt at fuch conduct, they
imift be the bale ft of mankind ; they might have
borne the with holding of what they thought
themfelves entitled to, but if they bore to be mock

degraded.** Would the minifter, he laid, date to
