" Stocks yesterday fell back a little,
when it was found that the mention Of
peace by Bonaparte was not 80 encour-
aging as had at first been supposed. I'll
was agreed, in general, however, that
the allusion WAS free from that tone Of
erritation and imperiousness which ex-
listed last year.
Bonaparte has demanded two mill
ions Of money, Of the city of FranKforr,
the Magistrates have sent deputation
to Paris, stating their inability to
raise the meney. How far the t7Oo nil
ions, sent by MR. Jefferson to France,
in the brig Hornet, will be Of service to
the representatives Of FRANKFORT, is
impossible to say.
