Councils are frequently held on the dispatches received from abroad, and are thought to be relative to a peace; and as several neutral powers seem to set about that work in earnest, we begin to hope it may be accomplished; if not, the war will rage with greater Fury; as some arrangements, especially concerning Italy, will greatly contribute thereto.--We already see preparations which leave us no doubt of the earnestness of the next campaign: The enemy, on their part, do not seem to be idle. The English talk of sending a reinforcement of fourteen or fifteen thousand men into Germany.
