Quebec, at the extremity of Lake Erie, where a'
Reptihlican Officer of the mante of SCOTT is in A u -

" Ativices reached us yesterday from Ghent to
the date of the 30th ult. froM.which there seems
to be'noliger any question regarding the rup-
ture Of the Negociation.
"•It is said that, in the first instance, the Bri-
tish Commissioners submitted a project, which
was "to be considered as preliminary to the gene-
ral objects of the NegOciation. This bring re-
jected, a second series of proposals were Made,
which contained the substance of the preliminary
demands, with some fresh proposition. These _
new terms were judged. to be.more objectionable
-than the former, and to both of them in this stage
of the business, the Republican Plenipotentiaries
gave a long but decisive' answer, in which were
examined,all the, leading subjects, of di;fieulty and
litigation between the two countries.

" Since that comm►►nication was made, ive- are
informed th'erc have been no conferenceS, and we
believe, that the American Agents are waiting
only for a formal notice from our Commissioners,
that Om d:ltc-.,.sions arc ter►t►inatecl.
" It is 'said that the American Commissioners
have'•not allowed the introduction of any other
propositions than those which were originally
alleged to have been the" object of examination.
" Orders were-expected al Ghent t'or the return
of the British Commissioners, 'and tl►e report is,
that.Lord.GAMBIER awl Mr. GIMILBLJUN have al-
ready qnitted that City, in consequence of instruc-
tions from this Governmeut. •
". Nothing has vet been -published at Ghent,
officially, orotherwise, of the rupture. of the Ne-
guciation, and the reason assigned for the, silence
of the Commissioners of the Republic, in a letter.
before us, is, that the odimn of the cessation of
the discussions .may be thrown " where it" ought
to. lie."
