The report of Thursday, said TO have
been brought by the cartel from Halifax.
that the negotiation at Client had been bro.
ken of, was an impudent fabrication. On
he contrary. though the people in Halifax,
generally were growing rich by the war, it
was the opinion of the Governor, and the
most Intelligent people there, that peace
would grow out of the negotiation at Client.
and be concluded before Christmas.

RETALIATION PRISONERS.

After much prevarication on the part Of the
American government, the negotiations for the
exchanges OF prisoners have terminated as they
ought TO terminate The States have abandon.
ed the long contested point, andt left the Bril-
tish government to act as itmy find expedient,
with respect to the twenty three prisoners, Bri
tish subjects, sent to England. These negotia.
tons have been conducted, on our side, with
becoming firmness. Equal frmness, We trust,
will be evincel in the maintenance of every n.
ther point requisite to justice, and satisfactory
termination ofthe war. The cession Of the long
contested point respecting the prisoners sent to
England, is proof that the American eoy'ment
begins to relax of its high tone, and TO suspect
that it may possibly be mistaken in its ca,cula-
lions OF finding the United Kingdom at its feet
now that Mr.. Madison's European demi-Rod
turns ont to be = mere mortal, and that not OF
the first order. -
