VVc can offer to the reader* of the t
Argus to-day, no article of inform*. n
tion more highly interesting to the A- o
J^tnpricao public than the correspou- c
dcnce eon’ain^d1 tin th* following *• u- t
tional Iitcliu'encer EttraV We nub
candid consideration, whether e
theVejdy of the most noble Marquis e
is n<V an evasion of the question ? A
greu^many refl'ctions will press upon
the mind on perusing lord Wellesley’s
letter : And, among others, it - ug
g«*U the following questions• Why c
dt>ea the Br't'sh government insist c
upon an actual cessation of the French i
decree a he lore it will even declare the t
future abrogation of its own anti-neu- i
tral orders? Why will it not pro- c
claim that the orders will cease to be c
in force at the same time that the de- <
crecs cease to he in force ? Why does r
not the Marquis Wellesley specify l
positively, that if the dcc»eea of France t
cease to operate on the fitstof Novem* 1
her, the British orders will cease to •
operate on that day too? Why has l
he specified no. day for the cessation t
of the British orders ? Why has he i
left their al?ro£a{*on to ?n after-ac(]
the English Cabinet? •The par izans. i
of England cannorj%€ presume, very \
satisfactorily ans^m these questions : ’
l^aud, above all, vvill be difficult to i
\ reconcile to '.hJqtrevious repress nta- i
tions of the I^^lish Ministry that they <
were wiling to uibol-sh the orders I
, when tl^wtlecreeg\were abolished, to I
the ypot declaratVm of lord Welles- i
ley^Jwnieh, as a preliminary to the rc- i
vocation of the orders in Council, re- h
quires, in addition to the repeal of the|l
Trench decrees, 44 that the commerce : <
