Confirming the treaty of peace is concluded...



Item # 674650

November 13, 1783

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 13, 1783 

* Treaty of Paris (peace) concludes
* End of the Revolutionary War


Page 2 has a report from Parliament concerning the work on the treaty to end the Revolutionary War, which includes a very historic statement. Bits include: "...The definitive treaties of peace between the Court of Great Britain and those of France and Spain and the United States of America, had been happily concluded; by which the seal was put to the pacification that had freed this country from a calamitous and expensive war..." with a bit more on some details.
Page 4 has a brief item: "...he did not think proper to defer the signature of the definitive treaties with the other powers until America and England could have settled the terms of a commercial treaty; and also, because he was of opinion that the negociation might be better carried on in London or Philadelphia than in Paris...".
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, very nice condition.
