I have just learnt most important news from a correspondent, who informs me exactly of every thing which passes. He writes to me, that Baron D. Ingeltrom, who arrived lately from London, has been for some time in Paris, and is now on his way to Vienna. It is believed, that he has had some conferences with Mr. Pitt, on the subject of Peace: the result of which he has made known to the French government.
It is said that Mr. Pitt gave him to understand, that England would consent to the decision of Belgium; but that he insists upon an indemnification for the expenses of the war, viz. Corsica, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Dutch establishments in the East-Indies; to which the French Government would never accede.
All the rumours respecting the march of a Prussian army towards the Rhine, are without foundation. The King of Prussia has too much to fear from the ambitious Catharine to engage in a new war, which would leave him defenceless on the side of Russia.—L'Eclair, of the 19th and 20th.
