Extract of a letter from an American Gentleman of the first distinction at Paris.
We are surprised to hear that any doubts have arisen in America respecting the time when the cessation of hostilities took place there. It most certainly took place at the expiration of one month after the date of that declaration in all parts of the world, whether land or sea, that lay North of the latitude of the Canaries. The ships afterwards taken from us, in the more Northerly latitudes, ought to be reclaimed and given up.
The declaration of the cessation of hostilities referred to in the above extract, is dated February 20, 1783.
