regard to the other circumstance, the follow
iny IS the Information we have been enabled
to acquire -
1t WAS accurately said yesterday in our
Paper that there has been no meeting, by
appointment, for the purposes OF conf .rencc,
since the 18th of last month";" but it is true
that there was an interview tor another OBJ
Ject two days subsequent TO that I;.ic. Ii
was acknowledged Gil both sides that on the
occasion OF the meeting of the 25th, soane III
temperate language had been employed, ani.
each party WAS anxious TO remove any per-
sonal feeling, that was III the last decree OPP
posed to that Sentemaniy sentiment which
Pubic Negociators ought recIprcCally ~ pre-
serve. o interchange apologies ai!dcr the
rritablh,y that had been mutu;lil, she wn was
the sole and exclusive purpose of the inter-
view Oh The til, and it hal no political OBJ
Ject whatever. We repeat thcr, that from
the 25th OF Aug. to the ~ Of Sept. there has
keen no conference on the business of the Ne-
Sociauon between the British and American
Agents.
" However, subsequent 70 the 27;h uls
are told, but not on the same satisfactory au-
thority from which the preceding intelligence
IS derived, that through the medium of the
British Commissioners written proposals have
been transmitted To this Government from
the American Plcnipotca;iAries, and which
were ehcloseu III tho dispatches tina, were
received OH Monday, and Oh which Ministers
on tie same day del;Lcrated. It's said that
these proposals were All endcavor On the part
OF the Republican Agents 10 rvncw the sus-
pended negotiation, and that they contain an
accommodating o;icr, but coupled with the
Indispensable condition, that an armsticc,
both by SEA and land, should be coucedcI.-
10 tbs condition, it is asserted, tl.at the
CabiHet would not assent, and In that situa-
ton OF things it is Supposed that the attempt
TO prevent the ruttare had been Intellectual,
and that tic proceedings at Client are i'll
consequence wholly discontinued.
We have strong grounds for believing,
by letters which came to our hands ySS.er-
day, through private channel from Paris,
that the American Commissioners, when
there, immediately prior to their departure
for Client, had little or no hope of peace
able result from the Negotiation which
had been conhded to their management
From the above statement it is evident to
us that the Morning Chronicle feels it has
gone too far in its former assertions. For
what does the statement of to-day amount
| to? On the 27th ult. the Negocators did
| meet to interchange apologies for some intern
| perate language used on the 25th; but that
from the 18th to the Sd inst. no conference
had taken place on the business of the Nego-
citation. No conference Why Because il
may he that on account Of the previous intern
perance on the 25th, it was deemed more adj
vlsable to proceed by written correspondence.
And written proposals are now said to have
been actually transmitted by the American
Commissioners to the British, subsequent TO
| tue 9th ult. which proposals it is stated,
were an endeavour on the Part Of the Re
publican Agents, to renew the suspended
(supposed says the Morning Chronicle to-
day, not broken Off rcgOCiatiOn."
Without PresuulinS..to any Knowledge Of the
points submitted to Cur Government, or of the
determination Of our Government upon them,
we think we may safely So 10 the length OF
still affirming, that the negotiation has not
broken cff.-l'ro5a6iy The Courier.
