OUR PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN.
Every day furnishes information of some new and important event which increases our hopes of a general peace. The gloom which had very generally pervaded the ranks of democracy, and which had even extended its influence over some few federalists through a mistaken fear that the late astonishing revolution in Europe might operate injuriously to the U. States, will now be dispersed by the late cheering assurance of a friendly disposition towards this country, which is so promptly manifested on the part of the new government of France: as it affords evidence that Great Britain, to whom the French monarch is so much indebted, cannot be averse to include us in a general pacification.
