Summary
Rumors of war between England and France prevented the sailing of the English vessel on which Peter was to go from Leghorn to Genoa; he therefore went in a felucca and thence by land to Paris. Has seen Mme. Lafayette and expect to see her husband Monday. Louisiana has been purchased from the French for a sum of money and certain commercial privileges to be enjoyed by them for a limited time in the ceded country only.
