We have reason 10 believe that the re-
ports to which we alluded yesterday, of the
negotiations with America having taken
an unfavorable turn, is well founded. There
is no pretence for saying this country has
evinced towards America naughty or un-
bending spirit. Far from it, the details of
the negotiations we understand will shew,
that every thing was done on our part that
could be done, with either safety or hone
to adjust the differences with Amer "r
