Fitzherbert, Paris to Grantham, London (most private) Pleased to hear the news of Monday's debates. Spanish Ambassador appeared today to be doubtful of the "solidity or at least durability of the peace". Fitzherbert reassured him on the subject. American Commissioners have not yet formed a "settled opinion on the subject". M. de Vergennes "is in the Zenith of his career at present, having obtained the Place of President of the Council of Finance". M. de Castrie's "credit is lower if possible than ever". Has not received the courier whom Grantham proposed dispatching to Vienna. M. de Vergenne's behaviour in the business of the mediation of the Courts of Vienna and Petersburg is "unjustifiable in the highest degree".
