Petitions are said to be in circulation in Virginia, New-York, New-Jersey, and in some of the lower counties of this state, addressed to the House of Representatives of Congress, praying that they will withhold their aid in carrying into effect the treaty with Great Britain,- An attempt, no doubt, will be made to procure signatures in this country, but, it is hoped, the inhabitants will consider their own interest, and act accordingly. It is admitted on all hands, that the surrender of the western posts will be of the utmost importance to this country, and as the United States had but half the bargain to make it could not be expected that every article of the treaty would be decidedly in our favor. It therefore behoves the inhabitants of this country to be silent respecting it, until by experience it is proved to be inimical to the interest of the United States.
