FROM GHENT.

We are sorry we cannot gratify our readers to-day with any statement of the contents-of the despatches just received from Ghent which have not yet transpired. We have been favored, however with the perusal of a private letter from one of our ministers, dated the 25th ult. which speaks with uncertainty of the time of their departure. from Ghent, and with equal uncertainty of the state of affairs on the Continent.

The Congress at Vienna is said to have been postponed to the 1st of November. In the mean time M. Talleyrand has, it is said preferred a Memorial to the Envoys. to that Congress, protesting against the aggrandizement of other powers, and claiming on their part the same moderation which France is asserted to have manifested; in other words, claiming as to other powers the same return, as France has made. to the condition of 1792.

From what we can learn, it would be highly injudicious for our government or people to calculate on any advantages, to result to our interests, from events to happen across the Atlantic.
