SO sanguine as some are, of realizing he
blessings Of speedy peace, still we think
the last accounts rather increase than d.
minish the prospect that our Commissions
ers will be able to effect this desirable object.
Though there is no .6icidt statement Of the
fact, the papers and letters assert that Ad.
niral Gambler, Mr.. Hamilton, Of the De.
partment of Foreign Affairs, & DR. Adams,
distinguished advocate in the Admiralty
Court, are named, on the part Of the En-.
glish Government, to treat with the U. S.
ENJOYS. 1t is added that Messrs. Bayara
and Gallatin are in London, and that they
have strong hopes Of effec,ing an sccom~
mediation could the negotciation be carried
on at that place. At the last dates MessFa
