The London Sunday Review of the 20th of September says, "For some days past unpleasant rumors have been in circulation respecting the negociation between this country and America. These seem principally to have originated from the circumstance, that Mr. Monroe had declared his intention of immediately quitting the country. We trust, however, that the alarm is unfounded; that Mr. Monroe means very soon to take his departure, is true; it has been his intention some time, and of late he has been little more than an assistant of Mr. Pinkney. His sudden departure at this period, therefore, may as probably have a favorable as an unfavorable auspice. Another reason given for Mr. Monroe's departure, is, that in the event of Mr. Jefferson declining the presidency of the U. States, he means to stand a candidate."
