act without reference to their noble efforts in main

natl Convention: Therefore. be it,

WAsHISGToN Feb 26th-The intense excite.
ment orcasioncd here by the tclcgraphic dis
patches of the foreign advices BY the steamers
| Atlantic and Asia has been allayed by the assn-
rance that there is nothing in the Government
dispatches since received calculated TO diminish
the hope that our differences with England, may
be peeilically arranged, although our relations
with ,bat country are not materially changed
since The advices received per steamer Canada.
