THE PROSPECT OF PEACE which of late apparently appeared so brilliant, is now overshadowed. The National Convention have protested against a general Peace—and Mr. Pitt, the prime director of the affairs of England, if not of coalesced Europe, is strongly for war. Austria is making redoubled efforts to bring into the field a formidable army, early in the spring, and since the unfortunate turn of affairs, in Poland, the king of Prussia talks of fulfilling his former contracts of actively operating in the war. Holland will unquestionably make peace; and perhaps Spain will sue for the same; but as these powers have done but little in the War, we may still renew our former prediction, that a General Peace will not take place these two years! Any thing that speculators may say to the contrary notwithstanding.
