"I have heard from Bermuda as late as the 1st of the present month by a person who left it at that time. He says there were only about seven hundred marines with some invalids, that no barracks were building or other preparations making to receive a large number of troops, nor was there any talk of an expedition fitting for our coast; that Adm. Cochrane was then there, and in private conversation said there would be peace. I think this information may be depended upon."
