From the London Morning Post of the 11th February.
There is no doubt but a treaty for Peace is going on with Bonaparte. The allies have made a fair trial of the sentiments of the French people, and when even their capital is threatened, and with all the horrors of a siege, not a voice that we hear of is raised against him, and they obey him as in the day of prosperity. The allies are therefore, it is considered, justified in treating with him, on conditions that will leave him the crown, but will effectually reduce his power, and disarm his ambition. An armistice is shortly expected.
