The New Hampshire Gazette

The extraordinary rise of stock last week was occasioned, we are told, by the report of a new negotiation being set on foot with France. It is represented, that Mr. George Pitt, the King's Envoy to the King of Sardinia, going to Court whilst he stayed at Paris, in his way to Turin, the Duke de Choiseul took an opportunity to enter into a conversation with him; and among other things, signified the King his master's desire to renew the negotiation with England, and proposed that Mr. Pitt should forward to London a letter to that effect. Mr. Pitt excused himself from transmitting this letter, as he had received no instructions on that head; but promised to mention in his own letters what the Duke had said. He accordingly sent the substance of their conference in a private letter to his cousin, the late Secretary of State, who laid it before his Majesty. A council was summoned; and soon after an answer was returned to Mr. George Pitt. It is said, that we will listen to no proposals, unless France will send over a Minister with full power to sign preliminaries at once.
