CONDUCT OF THE AIOhNLNG CHRONICLE.

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 difficult 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
