VIENNA, April 26,
How much peace was wished for, even
on the part of the French, may be seen
, from the following circumdances:
The Neapolitan ambafiador, the mar
quis di Gallo, general Mceifcldt, and
general Buonaparte, met in an apattment
of the palace of the bi(hop of Leoben,
and had a long conference, in order to
sign the preliminaries of peace.
In the afternoon of the tßth, a num
ber of flaff officers and generals of the
French army, who had been invited by
general Buonaparte, were collected in a
large hall, where they waited the hour of
dinner: They all knew the negociatiors
were begun, but expedled not at all that
the pielimtnaries would be signed that
4*y j after they had waited a confide table
time, the folding doors of an anti cham
ber were thrown open, and Buonaparte
entered with the marquis di Gallo and
'‘gen. Meerfeldt, Helhouted“ Long live
the emperor, long live the republic; pre
liminaries of peace are signed—long live
the emperor, long live the republic!”
This joyful intelligence was received
with the louded plaudits and teftimomes
of jby by allprefent, which were re-echo
ed through all the palace by the attend
ants, the servants, and the soldiers.
The plenipotentiaries, generals, and
officers, afterwards fat down to as fump
iuous a dinner as the place and circum
stances would afford; and at which the
li-alth of the emperor, the prosperity of
the republic, and the armies and generals
