New York, May IS.
I'VE understand that Alexander Scott,
ESQ. who arrived here in the brig Anna, i
from Porto Rico, on the 18th inst ON
board the ST. Domingo. of "a guns, and had
a conversation with Admiral Warren re
lative TO the prisoners on board the Anna
in the course of the Conversation, MIR
Scott asked the Admiral if New York was
considered la d state of blockade. TO which
he answered in the negative. The Admi-
raj also informed Mr. Scott of the depar-
tire of Messrs. Gallatin and Bayard for '
Russia, and observed that it was useless
for our Executive to have sent out those
gentlemen, as, said he, Il am authorised
TO open negotiation and settle all M alters !
in dispute, whenever l am applied TO fer {
that purpose" or words of similar import
Mr.. Scott further Informs, that it lie option
al with Admiral Warren either to enforce
the blockade or not. II this statement is
of it. the proceedings of our Executive look
as if they did not want peace.'--.M Y. Gag.
Remarks. 800"
There is one part OF this statement which c.n.
trad cts itself-if Admiral Warren be sc authorised
10 open negotiation" would he .at "to be an
f|ied to for that purpose p TO open aegscia.isn
is to take the first step yourself.
But let MS pass over this slip Of the pen.-we
can readily conceive that Adm. Warren may have
powers to goeate-we believe he hl!s-we know,
that he has had them w even know that in Oct
isst, he did nct Upon thnse powers, & did open ne
gocistiCn with the Secretary of State. But VIVA, |
we're those powers That We should be ,,t,6oI
with the repeal OF their Orders ia council say mo |
more about in,pressment, and do away the res,ric-
ton imposed by Non-Intercourse Act upon !
their ships. Upon these terms, we might have had
au Armstice, even a Peace. We ye no douL, !
that Ad. Warren has still the same powers by him |
and that, it we wsuld only come into his terms he |
would be most gracioaey pleased to raise the blook
ade. We did not come into his terms in tie fr,f
instance, and there is little to believe thai
We should accept them at present.
IL the Admiral ceaIy deems il useless for us tn
seek for peace at St Petersburg it is oosSlbie that
he may be mistaken. Circumstances have some-
what changed, since the powers which he holds were
originally framed We hsve passed " the Seamens'
Bilp' on our pact and IL is surely worth while In
see whether the views of the enemy may not have
undergone alteration for the better. or With
the interpositOp of mediator NAV net also con
tribute to smooth the way to peace
The wise conclusion Of the Editor Is yor thv opIy
of smile of contempt. - The Executive ,Ioes MOI |

Why Mr. Madison does no. want peace he is a rnpeL
wiser man than We take him to be.
