A letter from Paris, of the 26th of October, says,

"The more we attend to the loss of Quebec, and the consequences that may result from it, the greater is our consternation, and the greater also is the eagerness of the Court to take revenge on England. Highly irritated at being beat both by sea and land, the King twice assembled his Council, upon receiving the disagreeable news; and told his ministers, 'That there was no medium; either each of them neglected the affairs of his department, or he was betrayed both by his Generals by land, and by his Admirals by sea: That, as the whole history of France was filled with the trophies and victories gained by their predecessors over his enemies, his Majesty and the whole French nation would be covered with shame and confusion, and be the objects of contempt to all posterity, if efficacious measures should not be taken to humble the pride of his enemies: That it behoved them, therefore to make vigorous efforts, that in a couple of months not only the checks he had suffered, might be repaired; but also such a blow be given to the British isles as should oblige England to agree to a peace."

This speech, delivered with grief strongly painted in his countenance made the whole Council very serious: They assured his Majesty of their inviolable and unshaken fidelity; and that agreeable to his Majesty's desire, they would unanimously take such well concerted and efficacious measures, as should, they hoped if not indemnify his Majesty for the losses he had suffered, at least oblige his enemies to submit to a just and honourable peace."
