That capital must fall into the pswer Of the
enemy, and yet they state the Emperor's
positive determination nol TO make peace !;
il is therefore difficult to conceive what
could induce him SO suddenly TO consent
to so disgraceful a peace. Blu, wha, af-
fords still stronger grounds for doubs upon
this subject is, Thar letters have been re-
ceNed in town this mornipg from the
Hague, dated the 2sth ulr. which are per.
fectly silent upon the subject Of a peace
having been signed.
Last night We received some additional
Paris papers, though not OF later date
than those We had previously received
They confirm, however, what we stated a
short time since respecting the failure of
some Of the principal B4nkipg Houses of
Paris. The following aliusion is made
to the subject in one Of The French pa
pers:
eve are assured thas the creditors of
the house of Recaaier having had = meet
ing in consequence OF the failure of their
bank, in order TO examine INTO the state Of
affairs, expected from its immense opulence,
that they should have found the dowry Of
Madame Recamier set down at severe al
millions French. II was not, therefore,
withou, some astonishlnent, that they heard
it declared that her dowfy was only 80 600
livers, and that Madame Recamier had
given il up to the creditors OF her husband !;
such conduct calls for no comment it
ajsl. RI
Aectiops."
Il is also stated, that the hcuyes ct
Grandin. Carsanac, and Co; Deville and
Co.; F. Le VI orne and Co.; Aubrey and
CO. and various others OF equal credit and
consideration, have likewise been obliged
TO atop payment. These events have oc-
casioned The greatest alarm and confusion,
aud are attributed to the measures adopted
by sbe Emperor, which have d-'swn away
all the specie, and deprive ed the Bankers OF
the means OF fulfilling their engagements
In the same papers it is mentioned, that
the terms which are now supposed to form
the basis Of the separate treaty between
Austria and France, were brought to the
head quarters of Bonaparte by the Aus:ri-
an General Count Ginlay. Onthis subject
the following observations are made In one
Of the Paris Journals.
g But what kind of peace could Austria
expect, when she no longer possesses what
might be offered to disarm the Conqueroi |!
The Venetian States and the Tyrol had
been objects of negotiation; indeed one
Of these countries might, few weeks
since, have been accepted as guarantee;
but as now both are reduced by our vieto-
rlous arms, the heart of the Austrian mo.
narchy is laid bare TO our mercy. Under
such DISASTROUS circumstances, there is
no room for negotiation; the will and hu-
mainly of the Conqueror must be submit
ted to-"
The St Petersburg Gasettee contains
an important article, from which It wcnsd
appear that complete understanding with
respec. to the objects and conduct OF the
war, had been established between the en-
peror of Russia and the king of Prussia,
circumstance which renders the lnteii!
geuce of a seperate treaty entered into oy
Austria still mere inexpllcab!e.
The details contained in the foreign pa.
pers become comparatively of litsle i'm
psrtance, until we are enabled 10 ascertain
with certainty ehe truth or falsehood OF the
intelligence communicatedby admiral Ak
bert A few hours will probably decide
upon this important point, or at least put
rs in possession of some further Par'icu-
lars relative TO this subject.
The earl of Harrington. on Thursday
last, kissed hands at Windsor, on receiv-
ing his msjesty's appointment to 60 on
special embass; to the court OF Vienna,
on which his lordship was to have departed
Yesterday; bat we believe this mission has
been countermanded in consequence OF the
last disastrous advices received from the
continent.
