WASHINGTON:
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17
THE TREATY OF PEACE.
On the subject of the Treaty of Peace, nothing yet is publicly known. From indications, however, not to be mistaken, we gather the fact that the Treaty of Peace between the United States and Great Britain, has been unanimously ratified by the Senate.
The Peace has not yet been proclaimed by the Executive, owing, as we have reason to believe, to the non-arrival of the British agent, Mr. Baker, who is the bearer of the ratification by the Prince Regent; which, it is said, by an article of the Treaty, is to be exchanged for the ratification of the President before the Treaty can take effect.
We cannot conceive what can so long have delayed the arrival of Mr. Baker, to whom is confided so important a charge at the seat of government.
