From an authentic source fays the New-York
Commercial Advertiser, we learn that the Con
vention concluded with France by our Envoys
does not adjolt the past differences and claims/ of
the two countries but postpones that btt<ite&~tUl
peace in Europe. Tt however, puts an end to
existing hoftiliciea; provides for an amicable in -
tercourfe during tpe war; and points out a mode
of determining.criufa that may occur relative to
prizes. .Such a convention may bethe more eli
gible at this time, as it precludes the probability
of any uoeafinefs off the part of Great Brrtain or
