Our readers have seen, by extracts from English papers, and verbal advices from Europe, that the difference between the United States and the Russian government is said to have been satisfactorily adjusted. It has given us pleasure to learn, that this report is not without foundation, and that information has been received by government, indirectly from Mr. Harris, our Chargé d'Affaires in Russia, that, immediately on being acquainted with the true state of the case, by means of the despatches of which Mr. Coles was the bearer, the Emperor expressed his conviction that not the government of the United States, but the Russian officers in this country, had been to blame in the transaction, which had been incorrectly represented to him. The conduct of the Emperor, in yielding his first impressions at once to just explanations from our government, is an evidence of the continuance of the disposition, which that Sovereign has always shewn, to maintain amicable relations with the United States. The frankness and promptitude of the Executive in making these explanations directly to the government of Russia, has secured the honorable termination of a controversy, which however absurd in its origin, might, by the intrigues of those disposed to foment it, have become important in its consequences.
