| Yesterday sioop of war called here
| on her way to Havana, from Cadiz. She
left the last on the cd of February. Her
intelligence is, that Bonaparte is in Paris,
struggling to make peace, and the most
| humbled OF mortals Lord Wellington has
| reached Lyons without any battle, and
some few slight rencontres. Of the late con-
scription, only 10000 had been collected.
SO opposed were the French to support their
| master and his war. No rising OF the peo-
| pie against him, as was expected Minis
tiers from him and the allies, including
Lord Castlereegh from England, were on
their way to Mannheim, to treat of peace
| Bonaparte had lately made an attempt for
separate peace with Spain.
He sent to Madrid grandee of Spain
who had accompanied the king in his i'm
prisonment, and Palafox, the defender of
Salamanca, offering to abandon all Joseph's
pretensions to the crown, to restore Fer
dinand, toguarantee the Spanish kingdom
and its dependencies, to withdraw Suchet,
on condition ofpeace, and SPANS conse-
quent abandonment of England
These terms we're rejected with dis
dain, and the two ministers were with diff
ticulty saved from the populace, who deter
mined to sacrifice them as soon as thew
learnt they had come with Bonapar,e's a.
bove offers ata
Two of the allied armies have passed
the Rhine, and are triumphant in the
Netherlands and in Italy. l-5faf u
