The Late Dispatches. We are informed that our government has received despatches from Mr. Pinkney, dated the 5th of October, and from Mr. Armstrong as late as the 20th of September. By the letters from Mr. Pinkney it appears that he expects no alteration in the measures of Britain towards this country will be brought about by the late change of the British ministry. Mr. Armstrong's despatches appear to hold out no prospect of a favorable adjustment of our differences with France. On the whole we think Mr. Madison will have nothing to lay before Congress which can cheer the gloomy prospects now before our merchants: Unless, indeed, the propositions from Mr. Jackson are such as can be conceded to on the part of our government.
