considered very prudent measure Of his;
the people being disgustcd with his former
proceedings, among many, his encouraging
the Hartford Convenfio5, and permitting tho
British to hold quiet possession of only a6out
ONE TUTRD Of his territory without attempt
ing to disturb them. The British, in case of
q new war, WI miss him.
Gov. Gilman, of New Hampshire, has also
officially declined. The Hon. John Goddard,

as il there was mutny in the CJederail

calls reefammaeions among which the prin.
cipal are
1. That the United States cause TO bc res
tored to the authority Of Spain, that part
of the territory of louisiana, which
, the English, while in possession, cslled
West Florida.
9. That the government of tho United
States do Cause to be seized and deliver
ed up TO Spanish authorities, all per sons,
who enter, or are now in the Cnitct
States, connected with the rebels ir
Spu,h- Amc,ics.
"Of this mans conduct, there can, be-
licve, be but ono opinion. The influence
which brought him here originally, has nevc'
ceased 10 operate upon him and the prescn
