The ((Mowing are the ,only articles worth eittraaing:— " PHILADELPHIA, Nov.'t " It is asserted, that Mr. FOSTOR has formally declared to. Mr. MUNROE; that if.onr Goverrnment .would gire him an official declaration of their .. knowledge and Belief of the revocation of the Berlin and Milan Decrees, hiiinstruaions authotise ltiin to sly, that in that. case the British Orders in Conned will cease, We do not rely much on the truth of this. report; because, sOch a proposition from Mr. FosTait appears quite , superfluous and . quite unnecessary, as our Government has alreitiy, alear ago, by Mr. MA bisoN's Proclamation, asiured silt only Great Britain, but the whole world; that the Frerich.Deciees bad ceased In violate the neutral ; Commerce of the U,pitecl States."

Confident CipedalioOg were entertained at Gibreltar of the . ' enemy's pt ivateers being soon stopped in their depredations, as Commodore Parr• ROSE had dispatched ail the vessels.of war in 'quest of than.' We have, it seems, given some offence to one of our contemporaries because we tailed, that body of Nobktnen and Gentlemen who have systematically opposed the present 'Ministers 'Tim ,PAttrY, It is not our habit to introduce into politi c al dl s c o4 . sions harlit,lanwinge, or to apply cuarse epithets: to those from wham ‘ie ditier ,in Opinion. The cause of 'truth is not promoted by violence or .by abuse, -rincl it is universally acknowledged, that when a tn..b.jiis to call names, he is nearly at the end at ids .. .atuttient. But this forhelrance must: not li e carried Lod lar. We must not abstain ; from apply . . log those epithets to the OppoSition which t h e y rem by, their criodua so alixitniq to deserve.

We are, we. know, bound in courtesy, to attribute the condua of these Noblemen and Gentlemen to the best motives we are,there•re,,willing in beliew that they think they are a6.ling upon the most purely pa triotic motives; that their ohjea in trj in so vehe mently to get intooffiCe : not to benefit them. selves, but to serve the country ; and that they are firMly cons inced that the cuontry cannot be saved. unless they are in veste d w i t h a b solute arid ex clusive power. We are, we say, ready to admit ,all this; but,' surely, when'such an exttaordinary and almost miraculous coincidence of opinion subsists among a Certain number of individuals, they are entitled, par excellence to the title of " The Party." We should have thought, however, that the men who have described the state of this country in such gloorny turns, who have preditaed the defeat of our Armies, 'and the ruin of our finances, would have. been ,Most anxious to exert all their talents, Collec livelyand individually, to avert the threatened (linger , but if we are to believe the Alorning Chronicle, " The Party" will not trend; their 'terms are absolute exclusive power, or continued opposi tion. We Are inclined however to think much more favourably of many of those who appear, in the rankq' of Opposition, who, we trust, will show tkat they have firmness enough . to aft upon their own judgments, pr*feiring the service of their country to the interests of a Party...
