Monday last, and acceeded to, with the
mere addition OF the clause that hostilities
shaii cNpftrie until tho ratification. In the
interval our readers vii reeo,lect Mr.. Mon
roe's letter, with explanatory observations,
has been received. 10 which it is declared
that the rights claimed by America shall
not be coded in a single instance; that the
ensuing campaign must open with an army
OF 100000 men, force presumed fully
competent to expel the English from the
American Continent, and that for this pur.
pose recourse must be had to a military
consumption; TO which American papers
add that this proposition was so we'll rcceiv .
ed, that bills for Carrying it into effect had
been brought into Congress, and passed
through several stages in the space of ten
Gays from the first Recommendation. The
advocates Tor war, who form an active and
numerous body in the city, Hatser them
selves that the determined and inveterate
spirit OF hostility displayed in these pro-
ceedings will generate. 10th in this country
aad in America, difficulties and discoatents
that may prevent the ratification OF the
treaty. They think it very hard to have
been witnessing two or three dull acts Of a
trageGy, exhibiting only the minor and pre-
paratory incidents, and that the curtain
should drop abruptly a, the very moment
when they were expecting the grand de-
nonncement. 1t certainly is ciisappoint-
ment that must not u little hurt their feelings
end wound their pride but it is one we ap-
prehend they must endure with the sane
patience with which they have endured its
authors. the present minister's The ex-
traordinary gambling which look place at

hniti2y, IS now fully explained. Men might
safely take so, or even 20 guineas. TO return
NV, II peace was not signed in Eve DAYS,
when they well knew that It was actually
signed on Saturday last. Mr., Baker, the
bearer OF the dispatches, arrived yesterday
about twelve O'Clock and soon after Lord
Liverpool carried them TO Carlton House,
where he had a long interview with the
FRINGE Regent. We believe that private
expresses had previously arrived with the
news, and that the knowing ones upon
Cnenge we're fully in possession Of it abont

and activity at that time, Samuch business

This morning we received the Paris pa.
pers ot Friday and Saturday last. They
bring accounts from Vienna to the lash Dec.
which state, IN shape nearly official. that
the ancient dignity of 60 Emperor of Ger

OF any interest in the proceedings of Con .
sress is noticed as settled. It is added,
that this Assembly had made no progress
Tor a fortnight past. Russia Is said to have
delivered her ultimatum respecting Poland
and Saxony. the particulars of which had
not transpired. All the minor German
Princes, including Baden ard Hesse, have
Jointly espoused the cause of Ssxony.
Peace being now concluded with Amer.

continuance of the income tax We usay,
therefore. now venture to congratulate the
country upon the end OF that oppressive bur-
den, on the 5th OF April next, as a matter
