IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM AMERICA.-PAR TICULARS OF Tfi.E NEGOCIATION AT GHENT. TheAmeriean Papers which arrived yesterday, communi. Cate the copies of the instructions to the Commissioners and a detail of the earlier stages of the Negociations at Ghent. • The conditions that were given in by the British Commis. sioners will be' read with interest. They are cautiously worded. But the people of Massachusetts must have been surprised to heat that " a revision of territory" was to in— clude the cession of part of its most valuable territory. The caution of the American Coinmissioners is evident. They would, it should appear, make no proposition whatthr of any consequence, but expected all proposals to come frost Want of room precludes our taking notice of the subse quent explanation of these propositions, but there could 'never have begin any difficulty in determining that such a proposition as the claim for part of the District of Maine were to rouse Massachusetts ; and hence we find the Courier states, that "the John Adams had arrived, bringing din patches from the American Ambassadors at Ghent to their Government, which had been laid before Congress by the President. The conditions qtrered by the British Commis sioners had excited a great sensation in the United States, and apparently made, the %Aar more popular in America among the Federal party." And as a proof of the truth of this circumstance states that "Congress were engaged in preparing their financial ar rangements, the prominent features of which were taxes of various descriptions, to the amount of twenty-two millions of dollars, and a National Bank of 50 millions, ten millions to be subscribed in specie, and the btlance in public stocks. This measure as to the Bank, will, we have no doubt restore thespillt of the government of the United States and par ticulatly as it will combine, with the language of the Bri tish Commissioners, to unite the whole country against us.

Reports are reviving of the appointment of the Marqui s Wellesley to the Embassy at Paris. The return of his Noble brother is of course expected. The reports relative to the causes which have led to the alteration have been various; so various, as to render the majority- of them unfounded, and of course unworthy of notice. The principal motive is said to be, a sort . of disinclination in the French military to treat. him with any thing like civility. This disposition has been communicated to the other orders of society, and it should appear both have combined to render the Noble Duke's"situationrather unpleasant. US. • IL r 1111••• Y
