| Abstract | Discusses false rumors that commissioners appointed by Congress will meet with the British peace commissioners [the Carlisle peace commission]; informs him that Adams and his colleagues agree that the treaty [of alliance with France] should be printed as soon as the King [Louis XVI] thinks proper, but not without the latter's knowledge; complains that the British "are doing all they can to confound the Distinctions between Truth and Falsehood, and to make a Lye to be respected as much as the Truth." | ||
