see, are interested that it should remain IN
our power, Tor political reasons which cannot

quence keep them in those sentiments, oy

Of tho navigation is granted, With kindness
and regard. Let the friendship OF the Chick
asaws and the satisfaction of the Americans
who navigate the river be the basis OF your
conduct: as fer the rest ] have not yet receiv-
ed any official news from the court concerning
the treaty, which we know nothing OF but
thro'the American gazettes.
u All the appearances of an approaching
peace in Europe have vanished; but It, is
probable that We shall not have war with the
English. Fourteen French ships of the line,
Muhsten thousand men, are actually to take
tposscssion of the Spanish part of St. Domin-
go, and France and Spain appear more nnlteA
than ever. The Spanish inhabitants have lost
their slaves.

contain about 1000 The whole number of

fitting up, and new ones erecting IN various
