The reports of the day, give us the hope of an approaching peace between the French Republic and Austria, and consequently with all the continental powers.
A letter from Mayence of the 12th May, informs us that the truce on the Rhine, is prolonged two months, and that the arch duke Charles has been ordered to Vienna.
On the other side we are assured at Paris, that the citizen Decorches, late minister of the Republic at Constantinople is empowered to negotiate with the Emperor.
One of our most esteemed parents even goes so far as to say, that he has departed to Vienna for that purpose.- This departure does not appear to us to be very likely. It is not in our present situation to be supposed, that the Directory would choose the capital of our principal enemy, for the seat of negotiation; because it would appear by this as if we sued for peace.. We may then believe that negotiations, are about to be re-commenced, but not at Vienna, and that this place is not the destination of Decorches.
Buonaparte continues his victorious march in Italy: our troops are now before Bologna, demanding, great contributions from his holiness. It is said Beaulieu is blockaded up in Mantua. There are great fermentations at Naples; the people cry out loudly for peace.
The English Parliament dissolved the 20th May.
In addition to the above we observe that on the 29th every thing remained tranquil at Paris : --and splendid fetes were exhibited in celebration of the victories in Italy.
An agent was mentioned to have arrived from the King of Naples to treat for peace.
No action had taken place on the Rhine. The armistice had been formally broken; an animated address had been issued by the Directory to the Armies, to exhort them to imitate the glorious victories achieved in Italy.
May 20. IT is still feared the disputes between Russia and Sweden may yet open a rupture between those two powers.
May, 25. An extraordinary Courier arrived yesterday with dispatches for the directory, with advices that a division of the republican army occupies the city of Milan-a second Cremona-and a third of Pavia.
May 26. The expected arrival of an ambassador from the Pope to solicit peace from the French Republic is mentioned as the report of the day.
On the treaty of peace concluded between the King of Sardinia and the Republic. It is agreed that the latter shall keep possession of the strong holds taken by them until a general peace takes place : in the mean time, the French shall be allowed a free passage through his territories to any other part of Italy.
