London, April 3.—It appears, iron
some conversation that took place ii>
both Houses of Parliament last night,
hat some overtures for peace have re
cently been made from France in an
swer to which it was intimated, on tin
oartof our Government, that the Princ<
Regent was ready to treat on the basi
to which it was already known tha*
'his country adhered. The. principa
point in this basis, is the evacuation ot
‘he Peninsula by the French—certain
!y no person can now think of inakiu:
peace without that condition, w hatevei
some, we believe not many, may havt
thought on that point before. The re.
•ent proclamation of Louis XVI11. wa I
ill titled to. 1 he British Oovernnien fl
'isclainis being a party to that Proeln Jfl
nation. Whatever our wishes may be fjfi
t is not to be supposed that we couhfl
ic so mad as to make the claims am [fl

The French papers contain the Ail-Jfj
Ircss of the Legislative Uody to Ilona «
