6490. PEACE, With England.—

I am
glad of the pacification of Ghent, and shall
still be more so, if, by a reasonable arrangement
against impressment, they will make it
truly a treaty of peace, and not a mere truce,
as we must all consider it, until the principle
of the war is settled.—
To General Dearborn. Washington ed. vi, 450.
(M. March. 1815)
