Summary
Feels the attention of the country continues too much fixed on the peace negotiations, and doubts that our embarrassments will cease with the war. Wishes we had a well compiled selection of Switzerland state papers on their diplomatic discussions with belligerent powers during the present war and measures taken for their own security. Remarks on Talleyrand's seeming friendliness toward American affairs. Also comments on his postscript to Grenville of 4 June 1797.
