NEW-YORK, April 15.
The following was handed us by Mr. Geo. Codwise, of this city, merchant, being an extract of a letter from his son, dated London, Dec. 11.
"Dear Sir,
"I have seen Mr. Jay but once since my arrival, on account of my having much to attend to; he informs me that ample satisfaction will be made for all American property unlawfully condemned by the British. I stated to him our case, which he thinks is very clear, and advises me to appeal immediately; and says that as soon as the treaty which he has made is ratified, Congress will appoint two commissioners, and this court the same, who will appoint an umpire, and decide all cases that are cut off by the court of appeals—that the captors will be obliged to refund the property; those that are insufficient, government is bound to make good."
