MS, that Messrs. de Schouvalett and Kteusemark have
arrived from the General in Chief of the 'Combined
Armies, the necessary powers for concluding the
convention, relative to the prolongation of the Ar-
mistice ; it is therefore probable that this important
business may be terminated to-morrow.
His Majesty having learnt that his Majesty the

that the conduct ot Russia in the nomination of her
Pleoipotentiary should not be imitated by us ; and
knowing besides,- according to what you did me the
honour to write me on the Bth, that the proposal of
nominating the Duke of Vicence had been agreed to
by your August Master, it would the more operate
in fixing the Emperor'schoice. I shall this evening

of Narbonne for the negotiations of the peace.
