BASLE, April r.
THE negotiations for peace are daily taking a
more favourable turn. It appears to be certain
that Prulsia, part: of the Germanic body, Spain,-*'
and the king of Sardinia will abandon the coalition.
The empire of Germany will be divided into two
regions, the empire of the North and the empire
of the South. That of the North will devolve o
tlie king of Prufsia, and all the ftates ot it will be
under his immediate protection. The French Re
public will retain the Aimrian Netherlands, the
country of Liege, and the fortrefses on the Meui'e.
[ With refpect to the other ftates, beginning with* Su*
hia arul the left hank oft he Rhine, they will remain
under the protection of France.
Spain will give up to the French Republic tha
pafses of the K a (tern and Weltern Pyrenees, with
the ports Do Pafsage and St. Stbaftian, and hold at
»he difpofal of the Republic twenty lhips of the
Rirdioia wii! give up the duchy of Savoy and the
county of Ni.e } the port of Onr-glU will be reft fif
ed, and Spain will cede th$ duchy of iLrnu and
Plai lance, a.v a compenfatio.j f..r the iofs of £>.ivoy.
Such are the conditions talked of in the belt in*
formed circles here.

LONDON, April 25.
Yefrerday morning three mans arrived from
Hamburgh. Bolides feveral arti-.ies of importance
from Holland, Germany, antf Italy, of width we
have made an ahftracr, they bring various Ret ails
and conjectures reflecting the Treaty of peace be.

noire of which are any farther inrere:ting than they
affirm it to be the general »vifh of the States ij; the
Empire, and even of the Emperor him ft If. fol
low the example of the King of Prulsia. An arti
cle in the If.’.nau Gazette, of the ph inftonr, lavs —
“ We hear this inftant that the French General
before M-ntz, has lent a trumpeter to the itri
ans, with a me Is ap„e, informing them of the arrival
of a courier from Paris, with orders to the French
army to discontinue entirely all hoftilirier, • and
that rite fame line of conduct was of courfe robe
expected to be followed by the Getnians.'* Wc
know that ftnee the 4‘h, there have bcenfeveral acts
of hoftiliry before Menrz; and we tranfl.iie the
above article, merely as an inftanceof tlie general
dilpofition to believe every rumour of peace, a
ftrong prefmnption of the general wi'.n for it.
The film* to lie paid ro Sweden, Denmark, Ame
rica, and other n’titral nations, I'or the illegal cap
ture of their thips, will amount to a million and a
half. Such during the firft vear of the war, was
the activity of Lord Chatham’s naval Adtniniftrati
un, that w e took slrnnft as many of the Ihips cf
neutral nations, as the French took of ours.
While the lower clafses of the people, joined bv
the (nldiery, in nlmoit every market town front the
Land’s end to the ['weed, are driven to acts of itl
Itirreciiop, by the txcelsive drarmfs of provifiona,
the advocates ol miniflers are daily telling us that
the i'carcity in France is fuel) as to induce a molt
erarnelt will) for peace, but that our rulers are too
wife even to think of it. Of then,ature ot that wif
dnm which would keep the people of ttwn countries
at war, when they with for peace, we hope ever to
remain ignorant.

of them when they were ordered to tpiii the duk»

bably demand nothing but a ftrict neutrality, the
negotiation may be loon brought to a conclnfton.
His Neapolitan majeftv Oticc before gavr a promile
