"DEAR SIR,
I have just time to inform you, that a gentleman in town has received letters by one of the late arrivals, which mention that in consequence of intelligence from Paris, great hopes are entertained, that all the differences subsisting between the United States and France will soon be amicably adjusted, as matters were in a train and considerable forwardness to effect so desirable an event---No names are mentioned—but it was thought that a communication had been commenced between the minister of foreign relations and general Pinckney.
"Another letter of the date posterior to the above, mentions the same and adds that orders were actually given in France, to cease privateering, against American vessels that those which had already been brought in should be released, and restitution made for such as had been condemned and sold.
"And another letter from Bristol by the Patty, says that reports are in circulation, and generally credited, that a speedy settlement of the differences between America and France will take place—and that within a very short time, it was believed that American commerce would be free from all molestation.… These things are truly desirable, and we trust they will be realized."
