PARIS, JULY 24.

*The terms of the peace announced in -our gapers
are lillieved to be pretty near the truth. The for-
tresses to be retained by the Allies are Strasburg,
Mets, Valenciennes, ar.d Lille. People, however, ate
convinced, that supposing the reports on this head to
be well founded, the conditions stated cannot be exe-
cuted, as long as the least spirit of disaffection re-
mains among the troops, and ti is certain, that up to
this moment frerh teinloteentents um continually
coming to the Allies. As for the integrity of the
Fieticir nation, it seems that the French themselves
feel the justice of the claim which the Allies may
make of the cession of a line of northern.fortresses,
and of some districts on the Rhine—pethips the
above .articles are those which the French hope to ob-
tain, and which have been proposed to the Allies.—
Should the reported conditions be founded in truth,
it may be presumed that the state of affairsin France
may easily give the Allies occasion to maintain a
sullicieut force there for some sears to come. and to
keep possession of the above named fortresses.

of Waterloo has given them, rant all their efforts to

of the Allied Powers will Mew as much firmness in
their negotiations, as their Generals hive shewa on,
the field of battle.

The French, from the moment that peace • was
signed with them last year, threw off the mask, and
'have proved b> ;heir conduct, that all ritignanimity
has been absolutely thrown away upon them, and
that not content with refusing a morsel of broad to
the allied troops, who were leaving France, they
loaded them with insult and contempt, while their
public prints, in unison with the prevailing spirit of
this mama, which despises every other, did not cease
to pour forth invectives against the operations of the
Congress at Vienna, and against the English Go-
vernment, trying every means to sow discord among
the. Allies.

Though it is evident that not only the army, but
a great pan of the nation declared for Bonaparte, all
wal affect to deny hint with their lips, while they re.
serve him the Ent place in their hearts. This nation,
so turbulent and so inconstant, ought to be put in a
state which will constantly remind it,' in spite of it.

the boundaries given it in 1814, is mach too power-
Itsl and too dangerous for the wig:shouting States,
and will swallow them up, sooner or later, if the pre-
sent opportunity is neglected, considerably to reduce'
its power and its extent, and so to ensure the future
peace of Europe.
