We are told that Sir Guy Carleton will shortly return to Britain. He goes home in disgust conceiving himself ill treated by the Ministry, who directed him on his arrival to declare in effect that Britain was heartily tired of the war, and was ready to make peace with us upon any terms whatever

He as well as we have found it a dirty deception, much beneath the dignity of a great and powerful nation; but which, however, is perfectly consonant with the rest of their conduct for the last seven years
