In Paris on Nov. 26, high-ranking persons express strong dissatisfaction with war continuation policies, fearing excessive costs, risks, and failure to protect national interests, which they say have been sacrificed to foreign powers for financial aid, allowing England to advance conquests and demand territorial cessions like Canada and islands in future talks.

Nov. 26. At Paris, Persons of very high distinction appear very much dissatisfied with the measures taken for the continuance of the war, as they apprehend they must be attended with an extravagant expense, great hazard, and not the least prospect of success with regard to the real interests of the nation. They say plainly, that for years past these have been visibly sacrificed to one foreign power; that they are now to be given up to gratify the ambition of another, and this for the sake of pecuniary supplies that may possibly be exhausted in those armaments which are made in order to procure them while the English will be set at full liberty to pursue their conquests, and in the next negotiation may as peremptorily insist upon the cession of the islands as in their last they did with respect to all Canada.
