LONDO,N, SATURDAY, DECEMBER, 1811. We have inserted this day very copious extracts from the Americhn Papers received yesterday, in clutling the chief part of the Correspondence be tween the British Minister; Mr. FOSTER, and the American Secretary of State, Mr.,MuNROE. It Will be seen that the only point adjusted is tl►at re- speaing which we gave the official details Yesterdy, namely the affair of the Leopard and the Chesapeake. Upon the main subjeCt, the Orders in Council, the 'Parties are still at issue, it being roundly asserted, on the part 9f the Government of the United States, that the Berlin and Milan Decrees have been revoked, whilst on the other Intud;it is most justly alleged by the, British, Plenipotentiary, that there is not suUI cient evidence to prove, that those decrees have been aftually and in fact revoked ,by the French Govern . merit ; but -on the contrary', that there are nume rous pronfs of their being. thed upon" after the. eriod when it was alleged they Were to cease. This .'oitv - ha beci► of late so often argued, that it is in•xt to impossible to say any thing oew,upon it., It is, bowever i. acuri ,, usalode of proving that those decrees have been repealed, to assume that. i hey have becono municipal regulations of the French empire. 'The adjustment of the long-Pending affair of the Leopard and the ,Chesapeake is undoubtedly highly sati•,fa:::tory but it would have been more gratify,' ing if the American Government had met our con cession with a greater , degree of amenity. • It is reported, • that an American' Minister Pleni potentiary is td be. Sent to this Country; and that Dr. MITCHELL is to ,be'seleeted, for that situation. The Chronicle of to.day,sayi, " The Sun makes a solemn declaration, that by the Faction they. not allude to the Lords and Commons in Oppo sition." 'There is (to use the language'of the Chi*, nicle the day before), something pettifogging,in thi3 statement lor the Chronicle had accused The ,dun of applying she term faction to "the great body of the Ldrds a<<d Conmsons," not as it, with pctti- , Pigging cunning, has - nb,w changed ihe, words to " theLurdq rq.l.l,Commensin Opposition." This is so pitiful a subterfuge, that it would not be worth dttectinn, except to show the miserable shifts to which it is driven. It 'concludes with saying, "we trust that a sense of shame will prevent them in to- Lure from the use of language so liable to misrepre sentation." The misinterpretation is imputable to the C'ironiele alone, which made a most indecent .cpplicatio6 of the word . fa6iibn to "'1 he great l o ly . of the Lords and Coinitions:' but which it has,si:,ce, `with Audi shallow craft, changed into, " the Lords • and Commons in Opposition.!!!
