--------- Philadelphia, January 22d, 1800. Containing the following remarks: “We have here strange news; first a rumor that George III. is dead. This would secure a general peace. Secondly, a West India account that Bonaparte has usurped the government of France; if this were true, we should soon hear of the end of his race; the enthusiasm of that nation would furnish a million of Brutus’s who would devote themselves to death to destroy him. The worst consequences of this would be the inducing the coalition to continue the war. If not true, there seems to be some prospect of a general peace, even without the death of George III. Heaven send it.”
