"I have enclosed a few papers by the Sarah; I wanted much to send the Times. of this morning. which denies the report of lord Yarmouth's having gone to Paris, to negotiate with Talleyrand, or otherwise of carrying a favourable answer from Mr. Fox to the proposal of a negotiation for peace. I cannot conceive of a peace between this country and France, on any terms of safety, while one commands the continent. and the other the ocean. This is the general opinion here, however the present administration may be inclined to peace on almost any terms, they dare not make it, unless it combines security.
"As to a war with America I don't think it even probable. On a proper representation, by negotiation, justice will be done where injury has been received. The administration is much more friendly disposed towards the United States, than the people, more particularly some of the merchants.
"Mr. Sullivan. private secretary of Mr. Bowdoin, has arrived here from Paris. He is said to have brought dispatches for Mr. Munroe, and is only six days from Paris. Something about a Spanish cession is spoken of: but what, I have not heard. Portugal. it is said, is to be extinguished as a kingdom. and become a Spanish province ; and Spain is to cede some of her maritime dominion to France."
