We arrived here on the 28th of Floreal, with Gen. Pichegru. On the 29th, Baron de Hardenberg, the Prussian ambassador, invited the representative and the general to dinner at Bale. They answered, that they would not go out of the territories of the Republic, but the armies, or when a peace was made. The ambassador, being curious to see Merlin of Thionville and Pichegru, asked leave to dine with them at Huningen; whither he repaired with the ambassador Barthelemy, the ministers of Hesse, Wurtemberg, and others. The greatest cordiality prevailed during the dinner; and I really think Prussia sincere, and to be relied on, in her pacific advances.
We understand, that all Germany is ready to ask for peace, through the medium of Prussia.
