LONDON, JAN 10.
Il has long been reported. that rhc
two Floridas have been ceded BY the
crown Of Spain to the French Republic.
The laa mails from Holland brought
over the fAne intelligence in more
autheotIc ioIm than. any in which il
had before arrived. A matter of more
ieiioHs Importance fcar cslyremairs 70 be
fettled by the powers on The continent,
as il viii certainly have a great inla
ence on the profperity aud peace of The
United States Of a america, AZ the fame
time that il will greatly endanger our
pohsliioas in the Wsa indies, in The
event Of renewed hoRiltics.
The MiaiGppi river, and all th7fe
which run into it from the Weaern
Countries of The United STATES, and By
which alone that valuable and delighe
full county communicates with tie
Ocean, viii now PAT, through French
territory, and be liable 10 all the capri
cious embargoes and embarraGments

ed ID bring on 70 iniereiing a naviga-
ZION.
With the mouths of The MiEfppi
and the Mobile rivers free, the foul
ADD wet parts Of Amer lea, might be
come the granary and garden of the
world I; without that freedom, all the
advantages. viii be precariouS and
they viii be raniomed according TO their
value. The French government will
lay on the burthen, proportioning it to
the firsngth ofthole who have it to bear.
and there will neither be afa1ence nor
independence in any country that is
Obliged TO pay then, tribute.
While the Floridas were in the hands
Of the Spaniards, the Americans con-
tidered that they might at as they
