Yes. "Despatch" means quickly, and is also a noun for a message which needs to be delivered quickly. "Despatched" means sent by a quick messenger.

On the other hand, "dispatch" means "make an end of", often in the sense of "kill". "Dispatched" means killed or otherwise done away with.

E.g. The King of France despatched his declaration of war by Sir William Lucy; unfortunately when the King of England received it, he had Sir William dispatched.
