The following is an extract of a letter from
an American gentleman in London, to his
friend in Bald more, dated December $1.

At each an important epoch, every word
relating to the great subject seems to have
consequence | I therefore hasten ts give you
a summary nf the news I base collected from
a hasty glance at tbe London papers of the
S8tb and 31st December, and in an interview
with toy friend Mr. C - -, the welcome mes
senger.
Peace was concluded on the 94th of Decern'
ber, / &nd ratified on tbe 38th by <he prince re
gent f the teims highly honorable to Ameri.
ca. Affairs remain ea they were before the
war. Not an inch oi territory ceded. Tbe
negotiations flagged until the great victory of
M’Donongh, which gave a spur to 'he mmir
ier* of England. I may add that the destruc
tion of Washington was a happy event for this
country. It united the whole continent in ex
pressing ibe<r abhorrence of such savage war
fare ! and a Paris paper goes so far aa to say,
each of their capitate had in turn been in po*.
session ot an enemy, hot all therein was >es-
pected | and Paris was oot burnt because Eng-
lend bad oot the iole control;
tkistrea’v was sent to Mr. Jefferson for ra-
t'Cca'ion, he returned it with 'bese es-enrial
clauses struck cut ! Thts example teaches
us two' lessions- It instructs us not to
rely on an American president** ratifica
tion; and it further points out the neces*
siiy ot rimulntirg his speedy dec sion —•
“ Hostilities are not ts be suspended." yThia
part of :he Treaty, at least, we hope, wW be
religiously alter dr d to by government. Let
us yet see one->f our first generals s«rs out*
Let us yCt beh -Id a British force in America,
capable of int'midating Madison and his Con
gress. Let us ye hope to see the war con
cluded with one blow 'hat may “ not calj
chastise the savages into present peaee, but
make a lasting impression on theirfears.”
