BALTIMORE, Jan. 4.

The mail stage which passed thro this city yesterday, in consequence of conveying dispatches to government, we learn did not wait to receive the mail from hence, but pushed on with "all diligence" to Washington. It is reported, upon what authority we know not, that these dispatches contain the highly important information-that mr. Monroe, our ambassador at the court of Great-Britain, had left that country and retired to Paris, in consequence of the tenacity with which the British government adhered to their definitions of Neutral rights. A few days will probably give us an opportunity of confirming or contradicting this piece of intelligence, which comes under very dubious appearance.
