I asked for Count Rothenburg; he was at cards with the Princess Lubomirski.

At last, I did get to the King: who received me in the most agreeable way; but was just going to Supper; said he must put off answering till to-morrow morning, morning of this day.

M.de Vaugrenand had been so good as prepare me on the rumors of a Peace with Saxony and the Queen of Hungary.

I went to M.
Podewils; who said a great many kind things to me for you.

I could only sketch out the matter, at that time; and represented to Podewils the brilliant position of his Master, who had become Arbiter of the Peace of Europe; that the moment was come for making this Peace a General One, and that perhaps there would be room for repentance afterwards, if the opportunity were slighted.
