On the 27th of December, this paper announced the peace 'with America, with a " we have.all along encouraged the "hope that this desirable pacification would take place :" as to this " hope," it is, to be ascertained how warmly, it was felt by a reference to the columns of that journal ; but, it is singular that in the paragraph prepared for puhlica tiOn before the account of the treaty hadarrived, there is a distinct assertion that there had been a delay in the proceedings, either from the Americans knowing what had occurred at Vienna, and the probability of a rupture be tween us and Russia., or, from a difference between the Ministry and the Regent on the subject of the borindary. So much for the " hopes" of The Morning Chronicle on this subject. The paragraph _then goes on to regret the protraction of the war as a great calamity, which is af tlicting to humanity after the- pretences en which it was begun are removed. We would ask The Morning Chro nicle who began the contest ? We have next to express our astonishment at the pro found ignorance of the following paragraph : "To worn to the status goto—to be as we were , might to be the desire of both—unless indeed it should be thosight.advisable for bolls that the error committed in the original demarcation, by which New ilrutt44ick was cut off front Quebec, sl 41 be corrected—and this i 4 a point u hich it certainly would not be dif f icult to settle ; as the disci set to be conceded is so very unimportant; in point - of territory, popolstifto, ports and 'frothier."' • " If the Editor will lurvy the . 490Vt0 inii at his map, and if he has purclMsecra OiCellene,ione re- 4 rieutly published, with a very unfortunate tiameinbotie), it is in his power, he,will find, that not only in point of territory, pOpulation, ports end pr4duce," but, as to position, for the district of Maine commands Boston Bay, that part of it necessary to a commtlnication with Quebec is very valuable. It reaches is far as either Portland. the Kennebec or the Pettobserit. The Kennebec ought to hare been the boundary, if the country to Portland could not have been obtained ; although, to those who are ac quainted with it, the tenure of even the country of which Sir John Sherbrooke took permanent possession would enable us to make a very successful war on the finances of the United States, and produce much be-, nefit to our own. The Editor then proceeds in a comparison of the financial difficulties of the two countries, and gives the ! following as a correct statement of the fact 46 Why do we vet-tatri to assert that the coatinuaoce of die war i 4 likely to he heavier awl more calamitous In. its 'consequences to Enland than to the United States?

We say no; and we say more, that we do not believe there is eec word more of truth in this repreee'ntation'of the Bctual state of things than in that of the past;.• for bad as was the American faith before the Constitution of 1789, the Government never sanctioned such swindling. it certainly was at market, and claims, which after the adoption of the Constitution: were werth-f2Cis. were an article of trade at 2s. 6d. But the Governinent paid the actual holder 295. So much for the Editor's correctness ! However, justice compels us to express our uniting with the Editor of The Chronicle in his sentiments on the subject of the mode of warfare that ought to have been; and,.indeed, ought to Le adopted, as well as on that of the Orleans Expedition. The latter will, we fear, turn out too correct. But the most of f ensive part of these paragraphs is the following It is happy for the reales that they (the Allitsistdrs) y eteseted the itsprae,icable pretamions which they jet up, after having proved their ineffieiestry aa.to the taktot or mean to support them.
