PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE!
In eonfequence of the Notification by the Tele-
graph yetterday, that the Preliminaries of Peace
had been ratified by the Fier!. COmsuc, there was
a confiderable degree of buille, and every one
anzioufly expedted that the arrival oldie Meffenger
would be announced by the firing of cannon or a
Gazette. As we Rated, in part of our impreffion,
he reached town about four in the afternoon,
ihortly after which we received Paris Journals to
the 6th inclufive, of which we gave fuels .thort
cirradts as the time would allow.
Though the Manger brought the welcome
news of the Preliminaries being ratified, he did not
bring the Deed of Ratification itklf. This is at-
tributed to en old ufage, which, it kerns, is not
to be departed from on the prtfent occafion. , Ra-
tifications from the Court of France are generally
fo fplendidly embellithed that another day or two
might pals before the artifts employed could fulifil
the copy.
It gives-us much fatisfaaion, however, to be
now able to announce the welcome intelligence of
the Official Ratification having arrived this morn-
mB
The bearer of the Difpatches, Citizen LAU.
enrol, (a defcendant, we believe, of the famous
Law de LAORISTOR, the Financier), Aide-de-
Camp to the Flaw Cowsui., reached Dover yef.
terday evening, and loft no time in proceeding for
Town, which he reached this morning at half paft
ten o'clock. Of courfe the Public may foon erped
an Official.Commmunication by a Gazette or Let-
ter to the LORD MAYOR. In the mean time we Ihall
lay before Our Readers, chiefly from the Paris Pa-
pers, an account of the welcome reception given
to the intelligence when it reached Paris, and a
copy of the Preliminaries accurately tranflated
from the Manitnar.

The Meffenger, with the Preliminary Treaty,
reached tiigrat of the Fiasr Coast's., at Malawi-
fou, at four o'clotkim Saturday afternoon. The
intelligence was immediately communicated, te-
ligraphically, to the feveral departments. A gene-
-ral difcharge of cannon took place In every direc-
tion. The fignal of univerfal joy was promptly
given ; the people eledrified at the happy tidings,
knew no moderation in the expreflions of their hap-
pinefs, and the dcmonftrations of their joy. A ge.'
neral illumination took place ; and the Theatres
were crouded with anxious ',ikon, where the news
was received with the mon enthufiaftic raptures. At
the fame time, a numerous proceffion of the Com-
mittouersof the Police, accompaniedby military de-
tachroents of horfe and foot, with drums and trum-
pets, paffed through the fermi (beets and fquares
prod:aiming, by torch light, the happy event. On
Monday the Ratification took place; on which oc-
cafion the Curer Corsoa was waited upon by the
Confcrvative Senate,the Tribunate, the Legiflative
'Body, and all the other Conftituted Authorities,
who congratulated Lim in the warmeft terms.
The public conditions of the Preliminary Trea-
ty arc, in all effential points, the fameas we have
announced. There is no mention of a Commercial
Treaty, but that of courfe muff be in contempLx.
non. Neither is there any mention of Continental
affairs, of the fate of Hanover, &c. The time al-
lnwed for the ratification of Preliminaries is fifteen
cloys at the fartheft. All captures in the Channel
and Nora, boas within twelve days after tic
ex-
change of the Preliminaries, are to be refii4ed.---
Prom the Charnel and the North Seas to the Ca-
'wigs, whether ir.tae Ocean nr the Mcditet r.inean,
the term is a InCr.th two months horn Ca•

-

nsaries to the rqoater, and five !Booths generally
in all other parts of the Glebe.
The places ceded are to be evacuated in a month
for Europe; America and Africa three months;
and Afia fix. Thus it is,not true that our troops
are to remain a twelvemonth in Egypt. Three
years are given for the fettlers in the ILLlnds ceded
to remove if they think fit.
As we Rated fome day, ago, there is to be a
Congref. at Amiens for the final adjuilment of the
Definitive Treaty.
It is a curious fad that the French Funds which
had been at 54, on the arrival of the news of peace,
fell to 52f. This can only be attributed to
fome Rock jobbing manceuvre, which, however,
could not be long maintained : indeed, we find by
the Journals of the 7th, which we received by the
velfel that brought over Citizen LAULISTON, and
from which we Wall alfo fubjoin lonic interefting
eztraas, that they foon role again. On the 6th,
