"All appearances of a peace are entirely vanished, and each individual dreads the consequences of this campaign, not but our army in Germany is in much better condition than any we have had during this war, but our finances are as low as possible; and there being no other resource but new levies, which we are absolutely incapacitated to answer; and what corroborates this general opinion, is the return of M. d'Affry to the Hague, with express orders from the King his master, to listen to no arguments from the English ambassador that shall terminate in a separate peace."
