Extract of a letter from a gentleman of information, in the City of Washington, to his correspondent at this place, dated February 9.
"Dispatches have been received at the department of State, from Mr. Livingston, at Paris, importing, that the French government are yet strongly attached to us, that they wish nothing derogatory to our interests and independence; that they have received the cession of Louisiana from Spain, but under all the restrictions and limitations imposed on Spain, from treaties existing between us and that nation. This intelligence must quiet many of those apprehensions which have been so industriously circulated; and will disappoint the alarmists. We however, already hear French professions of peace, French honesty and integrity cursed, and spoken of with the greatest acrimony."
