From the Accounts our Court receives from all Parts, the Expectations of Peace decrease more and more. The Inactivity of our Army, and the unheard of Proposals of our Enemies, induce us to believe that much human Blood must still be spilt, e'er an End can be put to the War. The Report that the English have attempted a Landing upon the coast of Flanders has, it is assured, occasioned a Resolution of the Court to assemble there a Body of 18 or 20,000 Men. The News of the Surrender of Montreal has occasioned but little Consternation here. The Conduct of the Marquis de Vaudreuil upon this Occasion has been applauded; our Court, notwithstanding this Loss, is determined to pursue the Measures which have been concerted.
