N ' The peace happily concluded between
he King of Spain and the French Republic,
is an event of the greateft importance to the
jwo nations. His Catholic Majelty, animat
ed with the moft fincere defire to1)referve
it, and always confuiting the happinefs of his
. people, will cautioufly avoid any thing that
may excite uneafinefs. In appointing me his
Ambaffador.to the Republic, he ordered me
id proceed immediately to my deftination as
atcttimony of his good faith. In thefe cir
umftanccs, and honored with the confidence
f my Sovereign, I will moft zealoufly obey
Im orders ; extremely happy if I Ihouldbc

which you have offered to the French Re

The hopes of Peace continue, though the
news from Landau is neither entirely con
firmed nor pofitively contradicted. The moft
intelligent perfons agree, that the advanced
guarus ot tne two armies nave been ordered
to retire. They attribute this movement to
a general deficiency of forage. If there be
no other reafon, it follows of cowfe, that
the campaign " cannot be renewed till ifte r
they have harveft, and that in confequence
there will be fix weeks more for . continuing
the negociations. 1 (Eclair.J

It appears to be certain, that towards the

per quarter, fine flour was from 46s. to is.'
