On the subject of boundaries, they had on .the 19th Aug. proposed a revision of the line " west of Lake Superior and Moro to the Mississivi." They now proposed " the north • western boundary from the Lake of the ‘Vocds to the Mis sissippi, the arrangement concluded in the unratified treaty of 1803. This departure from the proposition of Oie I,9th of August, was rendered necessary by the fact. that a line from Lake Superior or from the Lake of the Woods, due West, should not strike the Mississippi. The new line from the Lake of the Woods tattle: Mississippi, will take a course almost due South from the Lake. The British Commissioners further stated, that in regard s to other boundaries, they were willing to treat on the uti possiddis, subject to such modifications as mutoal convenience might be found to require. The American Commissioners, in reply to this note, de cline treating upon the basis of u/i possi leas. or upon any other principle involving a cession of any part of the territory of the United States; and strangely renew the request for the projet of a treaty, though they had in the note to which they now reply received such a projet. The British Commissioners, in their note of the 51st Oc tober, declare, that they have already, in their note of the g bt, comm,inicated all the points upon which they are instructed to insist, and require from the American Commissioners. that pursuant to their engagement they will deliver a contra projet. Here the dispatches end, and it is not stated whether any contre.project was delivered, though we suppose it was. In the letter of the American Commissioners, dated the 25th of October, to their Government, they assert th a t " their request for the exchange of a projet of a treaty had been eluded," though they had been in possession of such a projet four days betre. They no reason to retract the opinion they expressed on the 19th of August, " that no hopes of peace were likely to result from the negociation.", This opinion is founded upon the circumstance of having de manded an augmentation of territory. a demand advanced im mediately after accounts bad been received of our having taken possession of all the territory east of the Penobscot. The American Commissioners strangely suppose, that cur object was to delay the negociation until a general arrange ment of European affairs should be accomplished at the Con gress ; though it could not but have been obvious to theta that delay would have been more injurious to us at the Con gress than beneficial. They allude to a Memorial to tinc Congress, presented by Talleyrand, in which it is declared, that France having returned to the boundat its of 1702, can recognize none of tabs aggrandisements of the other great Powers of Europq since that period, though :. , I,lc dues not in- HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

AMERWAN PAPERS. An important American Paper of the 9th of December trrised yesterday, containing a Message from the President to Congress, with dispatches horn the American Commis sinners at Ghent, explaining the course and actual state of the negociation to the end of October. Thin documents are of considerable interest, even though peace has been concluded. Early in October the British Commissioners proposed an article on the subject of the pacification and rights of the Indian nations. This proposition was acceded to on the 13th of October by the American Commissioners who requested of the British the projet of a treaty of peace. The British, who thought themselves entitled to require from the Americans the first projet of a treaty, consented, neverheless, to wave this claim, and delivered, on the 21st October. a projet or general statement of terms. The f "lowing are the principal points of their projet: They con-enr not to require any stipulation with respect to the forcible seizure of seamen from on board merchant vessels on the high seas, the right of the King of Great rm. t lin to the allegiance of all his native subjects or the utari• time rights of the British Empire. With respect to the fisheries, they do not interfere with the American right of fishing on the Banks of Newfound. .tatik
