The Hague Gazette, aftez mentioning that the pegatiation between England #nd France was en- tirely broke off, gives the following accountof the- propofed conditions of peace: «‘TheFrench confen- ted to yield all North- America, except Louifiana, the limits of which were to extend farther than in former treaties, but were to referve theifland of Sabie and a place on Newfoundland to dry the fith taken on the great bank, but the Britih miniftry would allow them for that ufe only the iland of St. Peter, and even on that they fhould ereé no fortifi- cation. By the preliminary regulations between the two courts, Guadaloupe was to be reftored to the French, who were to yield to England,the four Car- ribbe iflands of Tobago, 8t. Vincent, St. Lucia and Dominico, Belleifle wasto be exchanged for Minor - €a, and the limits in Africa and Afia to be amcably fettled.” This gazette adds, ““that what chiefly occafioned the rupture of the negotiations was, that England demanded that the provinces of Guelders and Cleves thould be reftored’ to the King of Pruflia; which France alledged conld not be done, as they had been conqueredand accupied intheEmprefs Quecn’s vame.
