the strongest reasons for believing in an
amicatis adjustment Of our differences
with G.. Britaiu-that the mission Of
Mr.. Rose as envoy extraordinary 20 the
U. S. was expressly made 70 effect this
desirable purPose-that the appointment
OF Sir John Borlase Warren, who i cons
sidered one Of their best admirals, and
an accomplished gentleman to succeed
admiral Berkeley on the Americas sta-
ton is madesfrom the same to~nciliatory
uiotives-and thatit was understood the
blockade OF their enemies ports would

ed) be vigorously cnforced--and under
this impression these letters advise 4 con.
t~lnuauee Of shiPmsnss-On the 17th Of
October advice had reached London,
that, q treaty offensive and defensive had
been concluded between France s Dem
marx, and all hopes Of a reconciliation
with The latter power were At an end.

ions ~teeently expressed from the highest
