vincing proof that the French were defeated,
and it is believed that Morsovia had fallen
into his hands.
We learn from Seville, that it is certain
that peace has been made between Russia
and England, and that Russia has entered
into the coalition against the grand usurper
OF Europe. With Impotence we expect a
confirmation, as we have good reason to give
credit to this news, which is given by Col
Alava, who had arrived at Seville. In Eli
gland, this event, as late as the 18th Of May,
was considered probable.
