between the United States of America and the
Court of Spain, in regard to Losifiana, is happily
terminated, and that this arrangeasaat has been
owing in particular to the upright aid pas

views of the French Government, which has ceded
Louifiana to the United States.

a prefent of t 4000 acres of land to General La.
?avert E, in gratitude for the fervices rendered by
that General during the war for their indepen-
dence.

Letters from Vienna (late, that in cafe of a rup.
tute between France and England, the Q.lieen of
Naples will repair to that city with the Princeffes
her daughters, as the two belligerent parties will
not, and even cannot, enfure the neutrality of the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies, on account of the
importance of its ports.
Some pretend to know that Colonel Cot.aaar,

BRUSSELS, MAY I 3 are informed from the
Hague, that Mr. LISTON, the Britifli Ambaffador

patches from his Court, which are faid to be of a
very important nature. It is generally believed
at the Hague, that this Miniaer will return to
England if war fhould break out between France
and Great Britain, and confequently that M.
Scitistsmrismancit, the Batavian Ambaffador at

Republic makes a common caufe with France.
