As the civilized world enjoys a state of profound peace, we have ceased to expect intelligence of momentous sanguinary events. The change is as miraculous as it is astonishing!—But few weeks since we waited, with breathless anxiety, the arrival and opening of every mail, and we regarded every vessel from Europe as freighted with appalling accounts of havock and war.—We momentarily expected to hear the confused din of battle, and to mingle in the tumultuous strife.—But the return of peace has removed these unquiet and distracting feelings, the passions have regained their Peace Establishment, and Prices Current, Marine News, Rural Economy and Domestick Manufactures, are the order of the day.
