Amn. Consulate Amsterdam July 31 1807
Sir
Inclosed you have the Leyden Gazettes up to this day, the last of which contains the Treaties of Peace lately made between France & Russia & Prussia. The first stipulates for the Conditional mediation of the Empr. of Russia towards making a peace between France & England, but the Condition is of nature which may tend to defeat the Object it is ostensibly designed to promote. I have the honor to be With great Respect Sir yr Ob Serv
