WARREN:
SATURDAY, FEB. 14, 1807.
The great pressure of late Foreign Intelligence in this day's HERALD, will, we hope, be a sufficient apology to our readers for the exclusion of our usual proportion of the proceedings of the National Legislature.
It is said the treaty lately negotiated between Great-Britain and America is now before Congress; that it is admitted in one of the articles, that our flag shall protect all seamen sailing under it, excepting deserters from the service of Great-Britain.
We are happy to state (says the Baltimore Evening Post) from high authority, that dispatches have been received at Washington, from our Ministers at the Court of St. James, informing that a treaty had been concluded between Great-Britain and the United States, and that Mr. Monroe was preparing for his departure from London for the United States with the same.
