The mafs of ■ intelligence b ought by them, fo far as the U. States are concerned, is extremely equivocal indeed. We have how ever good reifon to believe that the J:ihn Adams, will bring out the ul- tim itum of both France and Great- Britain. By the lall difpatches re ceived from Gen. Armftrong, the government is informed, that the a(- peft of affairs is lefs louring than heretofore y hut that if he fhould be unabled to effeft an arrangement, he flinuldby the return of the John Adams be able to inform the go vernment, that no Rich arrangement could pofBbly be expected By the ir.ft private difpatches from Mr. Pinkney, he fays, he lhall detain rhe John Adams until he lhould receive the official anfwer to his note fent in on the 8th of Jan. By late arriv als we hear, that the John Adams •after receiving difpatches from Mr. 3’inkney, had failed from England hi I ore the 13th of March; from this intelligence, we believe, that the difpatches from both thefe courts svill be final and conclufive as to ne- ^ociations. “ We have this day refeinded the joint refolution of Congrefs for an writings had been apprehended and fecured ” The proclama tion then goes on to recite what the governor has deemed his imperious duty on the prefent occaffon, and to give a brief hif- tory of the government of that province fince its conquefl from the French, during fifty years that it has been under the Eng lifh government ; and he dfks whether one aft of opprc ffion— one inltance of arbitrary imprif- onment, or violation of proper ty has occurred—or, whether the people have in any one in ftance been difturbed in the free and uncontrolled enjoyment of their religion He draws an in tending parallel between the fi- tuation of the province of Lower Canada, and that of many other of the Britifh Provinces.—He denies that any of the charges which have beenalledged againft him h his adminiffation are true —fuch as intending to call oat large bodies of the militia—tax ing their lands, and diffolving i the houfe of affembly, becaufe j they would not confent to levy I the raxt s he required.

In allufum to the late decifion of the fuprenie court, he faid it was a decifion which the mind of every man attached to republican principles mud revolt at.

Mr. Quincey moved to poft- the time of its introduftion into this Houfe, and furely never has any claim been preffed upon the public with fuch pertinacity, with fuch art, with fuch auda city. Not a fingle circ.umftance, however flight, has arifen in ei ther branch of the Legiflature, not a fingle aft have we done or failed to do in relation to this claim, that the petitioners have not modeftly adduced as an e- vidence not merely of the juf- ticeof their claim, but of a dif- pofition on our part to fubferibe to it. I do therefore hope, as this claim has refted fo long be fore the committee of Claims as that they mult have made up their minds on the fubjeft fo as to enable them to make a re port on it, that they would in- dulge the Houfe with a report on it. I therefore move that the petition be referred to the The London Courier of March 1 9, fays the fhip John Adams was expefted to fail yefterday from Cowes, and is to touch at a French port to take defpatch- es from General Armftrong.
