London, Nov. 21. The Court of Spain begins now to be in
humour of negotiating for themselves, the Marquis Puerto
being probably arrived from his Embassy in Sweden, at the
Hague, where many other negociators are daily flocking. He
is talk'd of there as the halcyon, which is to sing Europe
to rest and repose, unless some chattering Galic bird
interferes with its harsh clamour, and spoils his song. The
French care not a button who negociates, so that it will but
full the [ ]atties to sleep in Flanders while they are
preparing to carry some important point, by a winter's
campaign. . .
