"We learn that the last Courrier from Paris has brought a letter from M. de Brancen, thanking the States General for the great honor they have conferred on him. It is said that his Excellency remarks, at the same time that the business of the preliminaries does not go on so rapidly as he could wish; that an obstacle had been thrown in their way, but that he did not despair of seeing matters concluded very shortly. However, it is certain that nothing material was determined on the 16th instant, and the suspension of hostilities not being fixed to a certain time, seems to be the reason that the parties go on so deliberately."
