We are all full of the Peace that is upon the point of being concluded between our court and that of England. The Proposals made by England are not publicly known: but they are said to be just and reasonable; so that when the congress is begun, the negotiations won't be tedious. Some members of the council, who are suspected of being in the Austrian interest, do their utmost to protract the war; but the true friends of France insist on the necessity of putting an end to it as soon as possible. France is almost reduced to a state worthy of compassion: without money and without resources it is impossible for her to hold out. --The Duke de Broglio writes for money in the most pressing manner, and we can send him none in less than ten or twelve days; too long a delay for a General, whose chief business is to seize every favourable moment as it offers.
