Mr. hamar, whole arrival with the Ratifica•
tion of the Definitive Treaty of Peace on the part
of France we announced yefierday, came in thirty-
nine hours from Paris. The Ratifications were
exchanged on Monday morning, and Mr. PIER•
PONT fet off at eleven o'clock the fame morning.

Some furprize was occafioned in the City yef-
terday on finding that the arrival of the Ratifica-,
tion had not been announced by an official letter
to the LORD MAYOR. Such a notification, however,
or any Gazette on the occafion, would have been
improper before the arrival of the Spanith and
Dutch ratification, which are not expeetal before
mamma.

A letter from Paris given in a Morning Paper
of this day, and which we have laid before our
Readers in another column, rays, our Miniffers
fent only one ratified copy of the Definitive Treaty
;nand of three, the number neceffary to be ex-
changed with the different Powers, and aferibes
the delay of the Spani(h and Dutch ratification to
this eircumftance. We can only fay this is by no
means likely. Betides we daily witnefs fo many
and fo ltrange letters publilhed, as from Paris,
which often furnifh internal evidence or their hav-
ing been manufaaured in London, that we are
very fceptical I

It has been (fated in tome of the Pipers that the
Dutch perfiit in demanding indemnity for the de-
tention and confifeation of their Eall Indiamen at
the commencement of the war with Holland.—
Such an affertion betrays great ignorance. The
Eatavian Ratification was decreed on the 16th in
the Dutch Leginatnre.
If the Spanith and Dutch Ratifications arrive
to-morrow, as is expeded, the Proclamation of
Peace is intended to take place on Monday.
