EXTRACT OF A LETTER TO GENERAL JOHN FLOYD, DAT=
ST. MARY'S, DECEMBER 10, 1814.
66 SIR—I hasten to communicate to you the infor-
mation that I have received yesterday in Darien. The
English frigate Macedonian is at anchor outside of
Dohey; eight of her barges are stationed in the
Sound, and the gig of the Captain with a.whale boat,
are stationed at the entrance of the inlets, so that the
communication is entirely interrupted. As many
boats are expected in Darien from the vicinity of
Milledgeville, fears are entertained for their safety.
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 27.
. CONGRESS.—The Senate has sent a Message to the
House, informing them, that they disagreed to the
amendments to the bill for drafting the militia.
Among the amendments disagreed to was that for.
reducing the term of service from two years to one,
' and that authorizing the Executive to make reonisi-:
tions on subordinate militia officers in case of the
failure of the Governors to comply with the demand,
first made upon them. The House then voted to in-:
sist on all their amendments separately, and a Com-
mittee of Conferencewas appointed. And this, I.
suppose, is the last we shall bear of it. A fine way
of getting rid of the subject.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OUR CORREBFONDEXT AT
WASHINGTON, DATED DECEMBER 19, 1814.
" Taking the dispatches as they appear On paper,
I can no way avoid thinking your reasoning and con-
clusion just. But there is, I fear, a worm at the
root of the gourd. Great Britain has seized us by
the nape of the neck, and she will set us down just
when she finds convenient. But she has her interest
to consult first, and her resentments are yet to be
gratified. At the opening of the next spring cam-
paign we shall have neither men nor money, nor the
means of getting either, for Giles's conscription bill
either will not pass, or will never be executed, and
in such a helpless situation, we shall be glad, I fear,
to conclude a peace upon any terms."

To-day we received the Paris livers of Saturday.
They contain but little intelligence of external inte-
rest. The Parisians are from day to day amused
with a report of the proceedings in the trial between
LOUIS, BONAPARTI and his wife, respecting the poi.
session of his eldest son, now pearly fifteen . years
of age. The unfortunate husband is willing, nay de-

sirous, that the lady should retain her younger children
for reasons which delicacy forbids him to disclose.
The Mother of the boy founds her claim on various
decrees and orders of BONAPARTE, by which, as, Re-
gent of Holland, he gives her the charge of all bes
children. The present King of France, by gra-
ciously assigning estates, and the rank tf French
nobility to these children, as a token of respect to
the memory of their, Grandmother, the Ex-Empress
.Ibaattnnx, has furnished the Mother with an
argument against permitting her eldest son to forfeit
Ids rights by leaving France. As to the decrees of
Nstor.x,ost, it is likely that they will be disregarded,
but the osdoanance of the KING will naturally be
tressed with more respect. In the mean time, Louts
declares it to be his intention to take his son with him
out of france—a country where he fairly confesses
that the atrocities of his Brother have made it irk-
some and disagreeable for him to live.--We make
the following extracts
