TREATY OF UTRECHT.

Our last accounts from the seat Of war in
Europe, reports an Armistice and proposals
for Congress, to be held at Prague, to ef-
feet General Peace, to be attended by the
Ministers OF France, England. Russia, Prus-
STA, America, Denmark, Sweden, and the
Spanish Cortes. II is said that Napole0d
has agreed to treat on the basis of the Treas.'
ty of Utrecht, of 1913 We are fearful that
England has advanced too far in her career
OF usurpation, to return willingly & promptly
70 principles SO just as those contained in tha.
instrument.
The Treaty ofTTtrccht was concluded 1fth
April, 1913, between Queen Anne of Emp,
land and Louis XIV after war of 10 years
duration. The Preamble TO the Treaty 81
Peace, is remarkably applicable to the pTj
sent times OF war and desolation. We shall
begin with the Preamble and give an abridg-
ed statement of the main Articles of the cel-
torated Treaty of Navigation & Commerce
concluded az that time. which Napoleon IS
now willing to make the basis Of General
Peace
