it would incieed•be a most.happr event, without
doubt, which should break those:6;l;ns by which
War fetters the Commerce of Nations, and prepares
for them a certain futurity of misery ansi privation.
We -are flattered anew with so agreeable .a perspec.

lated in consequence of intelligence the most unex-
peded from Foreign Powns:,,,,l4The. Pnbiiciste of rite
day' before yesterday, gives rlteilizeoarts in the fol-
lowing, manner :—" According to a private letter
from Berlin, we have a confident hope of seeing the
differences between France and England terminated.
An incident is said to havecontributed to this happy
change. Portugal, in the critical situation in which
she has •been for same time, has had recourse to
Russia : Negotiations were entered' into, and a
Treaty of Alliance has been in consequence con-,
eluded, by which that kingdom is place 4 under the
impart:bite protedion of Russia. This at-range.
ment, so far from being unfavoutable to France, and:
injurious to the 'return of Peace, has given new,
strength to the mediation of the Courts of Peters-
burgh and
.Berlin, and the 'proposals thatbave been
recently made to England, arc the first effect of it.
These proposals are of such a nature, that the Cabinet
of London must accept them, if she be animated by •
pacific irttenions;" .
