A late letter from Paris say, " We are now thoroughly
assured of the certainty of an approaching peace, though the
ministry are greatly puzzled about the articles. it is
impossible to imagine what slight impression the impending
reduction of Belleisle makes on the people. On the third
day after a defeat, no soul speaks one single word of it
more. An Italian singer lately arrived diverts the public.
This, you must know, is an object not to be so carelessly
overlooked as lost battles, ruined fleets, the enemy's
invasions, the ruin of the Kingdom, and the like trifles."
