Extract of two letters from London, written by a merchant in London to his partner in this City dated March 18 and 21st.—
"For three days past, all is here peace. The funds rise every day. The three per cents are this day at 69, which is enormous for the time. At the same time we have received this morning letters from Hamburgh of the 1st, all speak of war. Notwithstanding which bets are laid of a HUNDRED To ONE that we shall not have another Campaign. God grant it!
21st. I expect to announce to you in my next letter the news of peace.
Yesterday arrived in town, from New York, his Excellency Robert Liston, Minister Plenipotentiary from the court of London to the United States of America."
