I have your Letter of the 28th: I will see the Secy of War this morning, and you may rely upon it, that the movement will be suspended. The true state of things in this city is, that the Treaty was at first unpopular, the expectations of vain sanguine men, who considered this Country as all powerful & intittled to dictate, were not satisfied—every engine of faction was successfully set at...

A government like ours can rarely take a middle course on any point which interests the public feelings—delay for whatever...
