"All is war to day. It is said that Bavaria is to become a Kingdom; that Tyrol is to be added to it; that Poland is to be restored to a Kingdom; that Hungary is to become an independent State, and will choose its own king. These are Napoleon's terms of peace. Time must develope the whole. Last Saturday it was said that the preliminaries were signed between Austria and France, and every thing seemed to indicate the authenticity of this intelligence; but now all is warlike again, and Stocks have fallen; some earnest fears are entertained on the approach of the Russians, English, Swedes and Prussians, from the Hanoverian country, in consequence of which our frontiers are to be lined with troops. There is hardly any demand for coffee, which article is more likely to fall than rise. They say an army of 140,000 men is collected in Brabant, to oppose the Russians, English, Swedes and Prussians, collecting in Hanover. Many of your vessels carried into England, have been released, and have arrived safe."
