We have Paris Papers before us of Friday last; 'and
have given, in another patt of our Paper, some of the.
speculations of the French journalists on the subject
of Peace. In addition to the Colonial acquisitions
formerly- enumerated, we now learn, that St. .
Do-
mingo, Cayenne, and French Guiana, are to form
part of the foreign settlements of FrAnce. We have
heard it stated, on this side of the Channel, that Pon-
dicherry, and another French settlement on the Corn
tinent of India, are to be
.restored, but we doubt this
much.
