An Extract of a Letter from Paris, dated Dec. 15.
"The English Commissaries seem very desirous to continue their Conferences for regulating the Limits of the respective Establishments in America; but those of France appear rather inclined to delay that Business. In the mean Time, the King is preparing, with the utmost Diligence, to maintain his pretended Rights by Force, though the Want of Corn in this Kingdom obliges the Court to behave with less Pride, 'til its Magazines are filled, than it would otherwise do, towards that of Great-Britain."
