June 17. The message sent from Mr. Pitt, a few days ago, to the American Envoy, desiring to postpone, for some time, the intended interview between them, gave rise to some degree of speculation. The common opinion was, that some difference had arisen among the members of the cabinet, as to the propriety of receiving that political missionary on any other footing than that of a private agent from our quondam colonies, and therefore, that the Minister could not see him, till that point, which must decide the form and manner of doing so, was finally adjusted. It would seem however, from the account in yesterday's papers, that, if there really had existed any doubts concerning that matter, the good genius of the new world had crept into our councils and blown them all away.
