Front the J\ation,il Intelligencer,
There was fc.r ?. time a front hope that
the p» oposition submitted to oi.r government,
t'.lit the respective orders and decrees of
the ht-lhgerents should be chronologically re
v;-ked, would be agreed to by them, and
something like an accommodation be th* re
s tit But even this hope, shadowy as it was
is now dispelled. England hr.s refused to
annul the orders nt hi ickade issued by her
antecedent to the dste of the Berlin decree,
and thereby neu raltzed the ofTer of tin*
Fiench government torevoketh.it decree on
condition of the previous revocation by the
* r 'ijs^ B 'vcrr.ment ol her previous blockades
of riance.
As this is a point of considerable impor..
tauce, inasmuch as it proves unrcjuiyncaliy
the disposition of the Briti h government,
and tests the wincerity of its previous assur
ance-, we shall dilate a little upon It. If in
performing this duty, the facts stated, or the
inferences deduced Irom them, evince a want1
of good f.iith on the part of the Bri ish gov i
ct nmeni, we tre.it wt shall no , in condemn.,
mg such conduct, be viewed as virtually ad- I
vocating the conduct of the Frenc h govern. •
nient. We wish it to be distinctly under,
stood that we can Condemn the conduct of
one, without approving that of the other ;
iliat, in the stricture* offered, vre act tlie
part of Americans ; that we are neither
I rencluncn nor ! • glishmen, but Americans j 1
and that although, as philanthropists, we 1
wish well even to our enemies ; yet as pnt_
tints, V.e consider it our duty to maintain by
a I just means the t ights and interests of our
own country.
It will he recollected that the violations of
oar rights by France mid England have been
nll .aUng justified by each on tj a ground of
retaliation. Neither government ha? main
tained i s right to originate the aggressions
Committed by it, hut each has insisted upon
its riglv to t etaiiv.e upon its cneinv for Imr
r)t igmal violations of the laws of nations.— I
It has been *n vain that iv; ha’/p denied the I

•y d"du11x1, that, as the pMeasures taLrui bv
ihtir respective governments were entile
•>• retaliatory, eillicr would, on the previa

* o put the sincerity of this assurance to
tin* tes-t. wr finf» that- General Armstrong in
virtue of an instruction from Mr. Smith of
the first of Dr-ember last, enquired of the
Due dr Cadore, •* what were the conditions
on which his Majesty the Emperor would
annul his decr-e, commonly called the Ber
Iiti decree ; and whether, it Gieat Britain
revoked her blockades of a date anterior to
that decree, l:is majesty would consent to
revoke the said decree.”
I'o this enquiry the due ds Cadorc return
ed for answer :
1 lie only condition required for the rc..
j vocation by his majesty the emperor ot the
| ticcree of Berlin, will be a previous revoca
Minn by the British government of her block
[(td.-s of France of part of France (such as
jihut from the Elbe to lirust. See.) of a date

I are fiafier blockades, as conir. ulisli.tgui-hcd
[Irom uccuul blockades, which (the*fiafier
blockades ) it is allowed on ull hands, uic
not authorised by the laws of nations.
This answer, then, of the due de Cadorc
brought the pending case to a point. All
room for subterfuge v.as removed bv it._
I he condition of the trench government is
sin pic and precise.-It does not cotnpre^
head the wide class of alleged or real viola
tions of neutral rights committed In Eng
land. It is made to apply exclusively <o
blockade ;, and not to tlmse at present in force,
but onh to tho c of a date (interior (o that
of the Merlin decree.
1 hi a written declaration of the French go -
vernment, solemnly made in the name of
toe Emperor, reached Mr. Pinki.ey on the
l~th ot Feh.
On the 15th of February Mr Pinkney
writes to hud Wellesley, ana enquires of
i*:rn, in pursuance oi a previous intimation, ■
“ whether any, at.d if my, what blockades
F a"c«b instituted by G Britain during
ti:c present war. befere the first f January,
1807. are understood by his majesty’s gov
eminent to be in fore .” I . the previous it: i_ ;
matmn allnd d to. Mr. Pinkney hadrvnlain
t-u to lord Wellesley the probability ufF>rded
by General At mstrong’s letter that a decla.. ■
ration hv the B'iiv.h government that tv> !
»ueh blockades eX'S^cd would be followed by
the renal of the Bei lin d cree.
To be letterof Mr. Pinkney Lord Wel
lesley repliQs, on the 2 l of March, “that
the coast rivers, and ports from the river
ljloeto Brest, both inclusive, were notified
to be under the restrictions of blockade, wi ll
certain modifications, on the 16ch of May. !
ltJ06 ; ami that these restrictions were af„ (
ter wards comprehended in the order ofconn
1 ij the 7di of Jan. 1807, which order is
still-in force.”
An explanation of this note having been 1
aski-l by Mr Pinkney, Lord NVellesly, on
the 26;h of March, most explicitly answers
as follows :
“ The blockade, notified bv G Britain in
May, 1806, has never been formally with
di awn ; it cannot therefore b? accuvci cly
suited, that the restrictions, rjfiich r es'ab„
/ished, res' (xLiogci her oa the idcr of eoun
cil of the 7rh ot January, 1807 ; they are
Comprehended under tlie more extensive ic
sirictions of *hat order. No other blockade of \
’he ports of I* ranee was iustitu.ed In Great
Britain between the 16 h of Mav, 13V.5, and
the 7’h of Jan. 18u7. exceftinq h - blockade
Venice, insituted on the 27 ih of July,
1'.’U6, rollick is a'ill in force.”
Heie •ben is abroad and unequivocal ac .
khotvledgement, by tlie British government,
y_>ar s.h'.u* of her illegal blockades against
r tnce.ol a date anterior to the Be rim de
cree. ai e still in force.

on to this mutter :
L “ It,s w';-11 tlecp regret that I have to in.
form you, that all die exertions ot the dele
jr'.ti.m from tins sta;e toob'ain the desirab e
objects recommended to their at.on ion by
our hast general assembly, and so frequently
and pleasingly urged by his excellency the
goi ernor, have proved unsuccessful. Tlie
want of success in our a;p'ication. ,s not I
apprehend, to lie ascribed to any bus dity on
tne part ol the president to the interests of
this state, or m the western country in gene
ral. but principally to a belief, that whde lie
tp.'.niards are in possession of the mouth of
ViC’er’ ,,le l,uv;^“,i-n of 'he waters of die
;»t ’bile will not veil essvii iaiiy promote our
mteiests as they will have it in their power at
pleasure to obstruct «>u" passage to the
octan ; this opinion and the fear that iie
free navigaiion of iiose w . e>s would have
- ten deucy to involve he U.a in. control er
sies with the Creek.,and Spaniards have I
believe, had vein considerable influence in :n~
ducing the pi esiden to decline a compliance
with our request.—J\w- In!.
