Any latent hopes which might have been cherished BY
any person that the propositions of the French Govern
ment for the establishment Of peace IN America would
be fayoaby received Washington have been entirely
initiated by note this mornings Moniteur The Off
cia journal publishes what it terms resume of the reply
received to it's last overtures and the result s it appears
civil but very peremptory refusal to accede to the pro-
jects Of the Emperor.

eyes this morning in the columns of the Moneur will
create considerable disappointment you must be prepared
to expect but that any thing further will out oftI
neither believe myself do think you need be under

The act itself considered to be much ess important
