criminal cases, by whicti means the most a_
trocious criminals either go unpunished, or
are sent to a distant tribunal, so that no ad

punishment inflicted.
Resolved, That we consider it a grifev

The News from France is important «■—
The two articles, which will most in c.est
4vcry reader, are the Decree of Trianon
(li the 7th, apd'the Despatch to our minister
(« the 9.bbt Aug. The first admits certain
imDOrl* iTllO (111! P’lTiirh itnrK nnrlpr citpr^
ker,that the Decrees of Berlin and Milan,
re revoked and <hat from the 1st of Novem

fights—The 2d rela’es to certain high_sea
regulations, wmch have an intimate conoec
ion with them. In some of the public
I Hints these two papers have been taken
i ogether, for a purpose which shall be slated
i'hereafter—but it is due to the simplicity of
truth, for us to consider them apart, from
each <• her
I'he Letter to Mr. Armstrong is the first
in importance and the first as it peculiarly
applies to ourselves This document must
strike the mind in a variety of lights ■• is
to the motives which led 10 it, as to vtsfii
rit, as to the sco/ie which it embraces, as to
the duties which it imposes upon us, and
the line of fiohcy which it display* to our
wisdom.—We shall give onlv a transitory
glance upon each of these points.
As to the motives, which have induced the
revocation of ihesi*decrees, they are lodged
in die bosom of Nap tlecn. or the Archives
W France. Whether it was from interest
in- from love ; whether it was because the
jvnpcror finds that trade is necessary to
trance, or that Sugar and Nutmegs arc re
quisite to stop the mouths of his subjects, or
tlut his treasury wants replenishment from
a new Tarif--or that he “ loves the A
inericans and feels a pleasure in aggrandiz
ing the U. S.”—it is not for us to say.—r—
l’he English may plume themselves upon the
lit tie triumph, which they may have gained
■ -they may say that as he was the fiist to
put on, so he was the first to take off nis res
trictions—yet after all, these discussion* are
comparatively insignificant. The whole his
rory of the French Emperor proves, that lie
is not a man of Ktitjueite—nor would it be
his duty to he so, whenever the interests of
Hi« pmniro \unro nt oraL-u
The motive3 of this measure are of much
; ies* consequence to us, than its sfiiric
and its Nature. The first great question,
which strikes the mind, is this ; is this revo_
cation an ubsotute or conditional one l •
The terms of the letter are; that the
crees See. “ will cease to be in force, it be„
ing understood, that in consequence of this
j declaration, the English shall revoke their
Orders in Council, and renounce the new
principles of blockade which they have at
tempted to establish ; orthattheU. S.. con
formal ly to tlie Act which you have just
communicated, shall .cause] their rights to
be respected by the English.” The sense
of which seems to be ;—' It is be under
stood between us that if the English do not
n it revoke their Orders, free, or the (J. S
do not retaliate upon them in conformity to
the Act ol Congress, then our Decrees a^e
Still to be in force" If each of these con
Unions should fail, ;« that case the act of
.revocation is itself to expire.
The British will no esvtrilyfly from the
professions which thev have given, if they
tail toc< mpiy with, this requisition on their
part, so t>r as respects thejr OVdc's in Coun
cil. i iiose Odors wne baaed, in their pre
amble, on the French Decree*—Mr. Ers„
kmc loo in h..s letter to the Sec. of State,
pledges the latth of his Government, to re
semd them m cugeof i recession on the part
ol France. The ministerial prints of/Lon
di»n are, nt present, in unison wiih these pro
lcssions—ll he revoke ms drer rs, sava *he
Courier, " our orders, consequent upon
those dectees will be revoked also->ur
government taking notice that the enemy
hut announced lus decree* lobe no longer i t
force from anil after the 1st of Nov thus
resolu;rly s; icktmg for the point of honor and
taking it nil to 'themselves—• jjtcri/ notify
that from the 1st November our (). in C.
adopted in consequence of those decrees will
Cease.”
Vet is there not too much room to distrust
the sincerity of a revocation on the part of
England ? Let her orders expire to day,
i they will start up in a new form to morrow,
j We have some proof of this disposition in
I the very first act of her Cabinet, which suc
. I cceded the news from France. Thewletlar
' cd the Canal of Corfu in nstae ot blockade,
i and thus shut the whole of the Adriatic a
( gainst us. The tone of her ministerial
i , prints is in strict unison with this disposition
i j fhe Courier savs, " we have exercised tor
1 . ut-w principles of blockade which we shail
j be at all inclined lu abandon,”—Tne sutut
idea is repeated by their echoes in this coun
try. ’lie federal presses—i'liat is to sav. the
British will go on, block tiling whole coasts &
countries, by one dash ot the pen—and with
out stationing a single ship oft' ,i single port,
—Such are the “ne w principles of blockade”
which she will continue to exercise- —anti
who is there so entirely ignorant of her pride
undher pretensions, as to expect her to com
ply with this fiart of the requisition of
France f
The English prints, indeed, attempt to
gloss over these pretensions, aa well ns they
can. They deny that E gland has done a
ny thin* which France has not done before
her. “ Bonaparte had shut us tmt of every
port of Europe—from Hamburgh, for in
stance, with which we were not at war - -
and tye therefore shut him trt—he had. not
land troops enough to fill every port - and
we therefore ought not to be expected to
station our ships off e'ery port. Both of us
ply the very same engine. He uses his pre.
punderanee <>n the land to shut ua out_
and thetefore we will use our preponde.
i t auce on the -cus as a substitute for station
ary ships.” Wiiat impotent sophisms ! How
I impotent tae cause, which has recourse to
[ them !
1 lie cases are by no means the same —
I At this time, Miev are less so than ever. If
the English are shutout from Hamburgh it
is because the French Emperor is by the
rights of war, the lawgiver of that cilv—if
front Italy, because she is a fief .of the Em
pirc—if from Sweden, because the Swedish
government has enacted a rule for .he pm
pose-he .same In Prussia—these are
municipal regulations, over which we have
no cognisance or Coqtrdul. But does G B.
lay claim to the seas—which are •*’ in their
•* own nature not to be possessed, where no
•• body Is a I »lc to settle, so as 10 hinder o
“ tilers from passing?” Are her maritime
edicts to be compared to municipal laws ?
But if this were not so, there is another
strong di He rente between the cases. By
the edicts of Napoleon, the British ships
are shut out—by the British blockade, out
own are excluded. In the one case, it is a
belligerent operating upon a belligerent ;
in the other, a belligerent upon a neutral._
And are we to be excluded by the British, be
cause their ships are excluded by France ?
Are neutral rights to be sacrificed, because
her enemy’s power may be triumphant? —
What sort of retaliation is that, where A
wreaks. h;s vengeance upon B for injuries
received from C ?
This part of'-the requisition Chen may
probably fail-Let us then note the
cond one-The United States are to
cause their rights to be respected by the
English, “ conformably t<> the Act which you
have just communicated.”-The English
prints have taken this requisition, in a very
general sense. VVe are, according to them,
to exert every sorj of opposition against the
English--we are “toga to war.” Their
Echoes in this peuntry have fallen into the,
same idea. This condition, says the Bal
timore Federal Republican, “ requires a
pledge on the part of .he U. S to resist
England, if sue rejects the proposed ar
range merit-and neither tne American
people or government are willing orprepar
i ed to sanction such a condi ion. ” Bu* from
what source have these gentlemen drawn
this vast latitude of construction i If we
resort to the icier itseif as a lest, this sort
of construction vanishes at the touch. . In
one place, it says : “ in short, the Cong* ess
engages, (how? by the Act of the 1st of
March) to o/ifiusc (hovr ? in the nn.de spe„
cified in the aforesaid act) such of the beL
ltgerenr powers as shall refure to recognise
the rqpits of neutrals.”-In the.otherpas
sage, the letter is s ill uore explicit—•• the
U. S. conformably tc the Act wnich you!
have just communicated, shall cause their!
rights to he respected by the English.” It
thus appears on the face of the le ter, itself,
that we should pledge ourselves to no species
of opposition or resistance, whatever, save
what conforms to the act of March. 1810
The mode of opposition is thus stated in the
4th section:
“ Sec. 4. And be it further enacted. That
in case either Great Britain or France shall,
before'the third day of Mai„ii next, so re
voke or modify her edicts as that they shall
cease to violate the neutral commerce of
the United States, which fact the President
of the United States shall declare by procla
mation ; and if the other nation shall not
within three months thereafter, so revoke or
mr.dity her edicts in like manner, then the
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth,
ninth, tenth, and eighteenth sections of the
act, entitled “ an act to intferdi£t the com
merciul intercourse between the Uni ed
States and Great Britain and France and
their dependencies, and for other niirnnvpn.”
shall from and after the expiration of three
months from the date of the Proclamation
aforesaid, be revived, and have lull force
and effect, so tar as ■ elates to the dominions,
colonies and dependencies of the nation thus
refusing or neglecting to revoke or modify
her edicts in the manner afmesaid And
the restrictions imposed by this act shall,
from the date rtf such proclamation, cease
and be discontinued in i elation to the nation
revoking or modifying her decrees in the
manner aforesaid ’*
This Section, at once dissipates every idea
of a pledge of war to be given to France—
all that we. have to do, is to admit her arm
ed ships to the rights of hospitality, agree
ably to the last clause in the section, as well
as to suspend all commercial intercourse
with England. We do not say, but that
we. may do more hereafter. Our interests
arid our honor may imperiously impure on
the next Congress, the duty of adopting some
moi* energetic measures—.but this w,ll be
of course for our own discretion to decide.
But whiFe this is very clear from the 4 h
flee, of tiie Act, still there arc a variety of
pointsgfWtng out of that Section. As first,
what ate he British edicts, which " violate
the neutral Commerce of' the U. S ?” The
phrase most clearly extends to those wnich
were prior, as well as to those which are
posterior, to the Berlin Dt-ciee — the orders
of May 180G as well as those of Jan. and
Nov. 1807 and April 1809 'Flic former Or
ders (blockading from the Elbe to Brest) can
scarcely be considered as merged in the lat
ter, because the Marquis We leslcy has in
formed Mr. ^inkney, that this blockade
“ has never been formally withdrawn ; and
it cannot theietore be accurately stated, that
the restrictions, which it established, rest
altogether on the Order of Council of Jan.
1807 ; they are compiehended under the
more extensive restrictions <»t that order.”
A single word may sweep them off, along
with the rest ■ ■—but until that revocation is
pronounced, we maintain that (he President
is bound to exercise those powers which the
i 4ih Sec. vests in him
j. As to the moment, when he shall begin tc
| exercise those powers ; tins is another ques.
' ’ — I t-y * • • * • - ,
t ion.—The jlct, requires that " in case ei_!
‘her G. B. or France should so revoke or 1
modify her edicts as that they shall cease to
violate the neutral commerce of the U. S
which fact the P of the U S. shall declare
• »y proclamation the question is, can the
P. 0. S. issue his Proclamation, i Us turner ?
Aie the French edicts so revoked ? The
letter says,that they are revoked. («i phrase
probably taken Iruin the Act of Congress.)
but that they ivrll he in force from the Is
ol Nov.—It is not then a /aet, that they have
ceased to violate neiitral rights—If the Let
ter said that they would c ntinue in force
nntil Nov. 1812—who docs not see, that tlic
President would be bound up from any im
mediatecogntzat.ee of the case?—Another
cucumsiance which confirms this construc
tion is, iliaty'ro/n the date of the proclama"
tion certain rts fictions imposed upon
trance for this very violation of our neutral
commerce, are to •• cease and be discunun
tied. ’»
In the case of the British minister, it is
true, the power was exercised, previous to
tile revocation .■■■—and in 'hat case, too we
even rail the risk of seeing the word of a
••inis er disavowed—whereas, in this
case it is not the word of a minister, but |
the government it3eff, wliich is pledged !
—yet it must be c.mfessed, that upon con
mug the words of the act of Congieui, and
comparing it ton with toe act of May, 1809
it seems at the first blush that the powers
of the executive do not com nence instatiter

ot the proclamation, all commercial in

such ulterior steps as the rights and inte
