Arrived, the ship Corn Planter, captain Gillies, 50 days from London. In this vessel came passengers, Messrs. Saml. Meehan, C. Cope and maj. N. Biddle. They landed from the ship at Cape Henlopen; the two former reached town on Sunday morning; and maj. Biddle, who is charged with dispatches from Mr. Monroe, proceeded immediately for Washington. It is also stated that Mr. Fodle bears dispatches from Mr. Armstrong, at Paris, with whom he went out in capacity of secretary of legation. These, it is probable, relate to the acquisition of the Floridas.
The last verbal accounts from England, by persons who conversed with Mr. Monroe, authorize us to believe that this gentleman entertains the strongest expectations of perfect accommodation between this country and Great Britain.
