THE DESPATCHES.
Wonderful scerecy prevails in re.
lation to the despatches from Ghent
by the John Adams. It is impossible
to penetrate the Cabinet at this par-
ticular moment. | A letter has been
received in this city from a genileman
whose situation on board the Jobn

that could be ascertained,and he says,
« Although the American and Brit
ish Commissioners had been t eth-
er three weeks, no Ee
ble to peace had transpired, norydo I
expect any.

Such is the impatient
and desperate situation of the treasu-
ry (to say nothing of the approaching
elections in several of the largest
states) that Administration must
have every inducement under Heav-
en to publish good news if such has
been received. If the National Intel-
ligencer of Monday or Tuesday mur-
ning, does not contain some unequivs
ocal intimations of a favorable charac-
ter. I shail be satisfied that the dis-
patches are of an unpleasant nat xe.
* Still I do not despair. It may pe
the policy of the British Government
to protract the negociation, even, if
possible until they learn the
state of things in Canada at the
close of the present campaign. The
negociation may be a tedious and dif-
ficult one,but I am not inclined to
abandon cvery hope that it will not
terminate in peace.
