Mr.. Whitehead, who had given notice of
fiction on the subject Of Peace for the 29lh
Instant, stated Yesterday that he should wave
il Ter the present, on account Of the ntelli-
gencs that had been received of AN arms
tee having been concluded, which he pre-
sumed had not taken place without Lord
Cathcart and General Stewart (who were
officially resident with the allies on behalf
ut this country having been included. It
is most probable ,hat Mr.. Whitehead is
right in his presumption. Bnt there are
sonewho ahsurdiy suppose that IL any mes
senger should arrive fOm the continent he
must be dismissed, our Government having
no intention OF assisting at any Congress TO be
held for the negotiation of Peace.
AS the. arnsticC, VIC believe, has been
concluded with the knowledge of Lord Cath
cart, and as the object Of the allies and Of
Austria is certainly that Congress should
be held for general not n partial or con
tinentai peace, orr Government will scarce
lyrciuse to send British minister to repre-
sent this country at the Congress. 1t is pro-
! bable shat Lord Cathcart will proceed TO
