for the purpose, So as to prevent the article
from imbibing an improper heat on its voyage
to England.
It was yesterday reported that the bank OF
England had offered to lend government TEN
MILLIONS, for one year, without interest -
and that government had declined the ofer,
as not being adequate to their expectations.
The public will not be little surprised, to
hear that gen. Mack is now in London, and
has frequent conferences with lord Castle
reagh and the duke of York We can assure
our leaders, however, from unquestlonabe
authority, that he has been in town tor the
last ten days.
Many persons seem inclined to build SAN
guine hopes of peace, on the concluding part
of the MoniteRr's comments on his maJesty,s
declaration. The permitting our maratlme
code to remain at present undiscussed, and TO
lie over for regulation according to the respec-
tive strength * policy of future belligerentsls
certainly difficulty mastered; and being
concession which the former language OF 30.
naparte gave us no reason to expect, at hrst
sight appears to intimate, that his dispositions
are gradually becoming more pacific. We are,
however, very far from thinking, that the Of
fetal paper for such we may consider 1t in
the Moniteur) warrants favorable anticipate
on ofthe result OF those Communications which
are now going on between the governments
1t certainly proves the truth of our original
statement, that communications bearing to-
wards peace, have taken place. The new
light In which the independence OF the seas
is affected to be considered, shews that Bona
pare wishes to agitate the subject OF negotla-
ton. Nay, we do not doubt that his desire
for peace may be sincere; at least 1t would
be strange if it is not, for certainly the rela-
tive situations of the two countries Go not m
tirnate that France has most reason to dread
period of rest, which shall afford an oppor-
tuuity of prosecuting the advantages gained

On this day a motion of Mr., Dazcson to
appoint a committee to enquire at what
time it would be proper to adjourn, was after
a short debate ordered to lie on the table.
The following message was received from
the President of the U. S. and referred to a
committee of the whole on the state OF the

France, of December II, 1907, and similar
decree of the third of January, by his most

France has not been received by official COM
munication, yet the different channels OF pro-
mitigation through which the public are pos
sessed of it, with the formal testimony fur
nished BY the government of Spain IN their
decree, leave us without doubt that such an
one has been issued. These DEGREES and or
