emperor Alexander will probably hesitate to
ratify them.
In the mean time, Napoleon afts as if
the definitive treaty was signed. On the

“ It is reported on the authority of pri

Ides of France and all claim to her poflrflion
in the Ead Indies, the Cape of Good Hope,
Hanover, &c. ■ ■
“ England cedes to France, Gibraltar,
Malta, and rclinquiflies forever the trade of
the Mediterranean. I mention these as mere
reports ; but no doubt exists of the principal
articles being mutually agreed upon and
that both parties are fetioufiy bent on ma
king Peace.”
