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.
