Gazette Of The United States & Evening Advertiser

From the General Advertiser.

The November packet is arrived at Halifax, and has set sail for England again. One important piece of intelligence brought by this vessel, which bears the stamp of probability, and has not yet been communicated to the American public is, that a peace has been proposed by the cabinet of St. James's, who feared a Revolution of the People, a descent from France, a National bankruptcy and the effect of the defection of Prussia and the United Netherlands.

This peace is to be settled upon the basis of the ancient relations between France and England; but the United States are to be left without countenance from either party, no new advantage is to be granted to her commerce, and her means of aggrandizement are not to be assisted.

To give success to this negociation, the court of London has communicated confidentially to the Executive Council, an exact account of the same conduct of the American government towards France, during the war. This communication has not had all the effect the English Ministry intended it to produce, to the disadvantage of the American interest and character: France will never forget her elder sister Republic, the country where Liberty had her birth; but the delusion of a People too frank and open to resist the insidious designs of her secret enemies ought to be no more, and it is time they should shrink from the precipice on the brink of which they stand.
