January 18, 1783

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Jan. 18, 1783  The back page has a notable report: "...it was confidently reported at  the Admiralty Office that the articles of peace were signed, having arrived the evening before. The particulars are said to be highly honourable to this country, the French Court having yielded to ours in all the Oriental disputed Articles. The sudden conclusion of this general pacific treaty is said to have been brought about by the American Congress, who have operated on the other belligerent powers as the Great Political balance between the States at war; for the Provincials, having attained their ultimate object, insisted either on an immediate peace, or making a partial treaty with Great Britain."
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
