despatches to Ad. Hothlm, in Long -Islsod
Soupd,) and was told, that the d. sailed from
Halifax Oh the etching Of Dee. 27 that I
packet 10 short passage from England arriv-
cd that afternoon, and her mail had hot been
opened but that Capt. Z. was informed by q
passenger, that peace with America was ex-
pecled. The dispatches brought to Ad. II.

ct. Capt. 9. said no American privnteers
had been recently brought into HALIFAX.
Il does not appear that any further infor-
nation Of the reported peace was received
from the Spencer after the 4th inst. She
sailed for Halifax on the 9Th, and the same

AS il is now almost aodays since the last
adviees from Ghent, renorss respecuog the
negotiations arc naturally to be expec ted
from British men-of.war, which speak many
vessels at sea, or come from British ports
were there may be arrivals from some Of
our cruizers returning or from Amelia,
Castine, &c.
Authentic intelligence may ai.o be daily
expected BY an American despatch vessel.
