We hart received Barbadoes Papers, from which
we have :mete the following extracts :

" Accounts from Bermuda, as late as the 11th
instant, give assurances of an amicable termination
of the differences between England and America.
Among the causes which have chiefly influenced the
more temperate discussions on the part of Corr
greys, is said to be that of the Northern States
having openly avowed a determination to separate
from the Union in the event of a war between the
too countries, and throw themselves under the
protection of Eliglatitl. The &dire frigate hod
arrived at Bermuda, and a vessel was dispatched
thereupon to England, with information of Mr.
lto4e•+ reception in America, and bring migagod
in the abjects of his mission.
" The Hussar frigate, which came out with the
last Cork convoy, and proceeded to the Southward
with the trade for those colonies, arrived here on
Thursday from Demerara.
" Tea sail of horneward-bound traders, from
Demerara, corder convey of the Julia brig, arrived
here yesterday ; and, we understand. ruered on
Monday under convoy of the Eper•rier."
