BOSTON, June 19.

IMPORTANT!

Yesterday arrived here, Capt. Henshaw,
44 days from London, left the Downs the
9th May; we have not been able to procure
the papers for this day—but are informed,
he has brought London papers that contain
the articles of PEACE between FRANCE
and the EMPEROR—that the people of
England are in the greatest agitation possible
and if immediate Peace does not take
place, a Revolution must follow, as Johnny
Bull is now left alone to combat the invincible,
and all conquering Republic of France
CA IRA.

(Chronicle.)

Captain Henshaw arrived here yesterday.
in 46 days from London—by him we have
received English prints to May 4, only—the
report that he brought the articles of the separate
treaty of Peace between his Imperial
Majesty and the French nation, is consequently
a mistake—indeed, we have seen
capt. H. and find he brings no later news
of any kind, than was received by the Telemachus.
