fered the assembling of a congress at
Prague for q general peace. On
the pari Of France will be the French
plenipotentiaries. those OF the Unit

Of the hing ef Spain. and on the other
side those Of England. Russia. Prus-
sia. the Spanish Insurgents. and the
/ other belI;gerent allies. In this
congress will be offered the basis OF
a lasting peace-bnt il is doubted
whether England will be willing to
, submit her unjust and egotistical

piDion of the uni,erse-for il will not
be in her power. SO little OF that has

privileges adhering to her sovereign
Is, and which are eonsecrated by the
articles Of the treaty Of Utrecht on
msratime navigation.

timen,. on which her policy is found
ed, refuses to cooperate at this
great work ofihe peace at the world,
and by which she wishes to exclude
the universe from the element which
forms three quarters Of our globe,
the emperor will propose by means
of the assembling al Prague OF all
the plenipeDtiaries of all the belIige-
rent powers, to regulate the peace
| of the continent. His majesty, Of

the congress shall be formed. an ar
