ing the fact of her having ao modified
her edicts as that they hi.ve ceased to
vicla'e the neutral commerce of the
U. States, she must revoke her block- i
ading proclamations, which the has
| her sell declared to be illegal; and as
the impressment of our seamen is a
violation of ihe irari ime rights of the
United S-ates, and of course of our
neutral commerce, it spp ars to us
that she might even be required total
ly to abandon that practice before the
provisions of the act of May last could
be considered as complied wiih.
But the federal prints argue that
Great Britain never will) ield the prin
ciple of blockade by proclamation,
which they pronounce to be a part of
the old maritime law. They stem a
fraid les^the least measure of justice

Washington City, Oct. 24.
From the National Intelligencer.
Aware of the Situation in which G;
Britain would be placed in relation to
the United States l*y a revocation of
the French decrees, and apprehensive
that she may be put too manifestly in
the wrong, attempts have been made
by the federal prints to produce an
impression that a bare repeal by Great
Britain of her Orders ir. Council would
comprehend Such a modification of her
unlawful edicts as would come within
the meaning of the act cf Congress
ol May last. A slight consideration
will shew that this impression is found
ed in error.
The act of Congress requires such
a revocation or modification of their
edicts by the belligerents as that they
sjlrll cease ro violate the neutral com
merce of the United States. If we
give credit to the letter of the duke cf I
Cadore, as extracted from the British !
papers, such a revocation by France
will have taken place on the *l3t of the
ensuing month, as is contemplated by
our act. if in the s;ine manuer the
British government does not, within
three months thereafter, revoke its e
fiicts violating the neutral commerce
ot the U. States, the non-intercourse
act will probably be revived a3 to that
nation. Will the revocation of the
Orders in Council be such a modifica
tion of the Bri.ish edicts as that ihe>
will cease to violate the neutral com
merce of the United States? By no
means, we reply. The British violati
ons of our neutral commerce havt
not been confined to her orders in
Council. To place Jier on such a
footing in relation to our neutral com.
merce, as would authorise the Kxecu
tive to issue his Proclamation drrlnr.
[nones oi meir readers, to state that i
the U. Slates have never protested a- i
gainst the pr.ntiple of paper block- j
ifien. We affirm to the contrary that
the U. States have rtv-r ceased to con
“end for the true definition of blockade,
:he legitimacy of which was in 1804 of
licially acknowledged by the British
government, and the violation of it de
dared to be a grievance. And is this
acknowledged grievance that which
the federal editors declare G. Britain
never will abandon ? Are her own of- ;
firial acts, disclaiming the principle,!
held ol no account? Or is the new j
school of public law, one of whose
prominent features is a total disregard
of neutral rights, more to their taste ?
Let them gtve general publicity to the.
official document which wc published
a week ago—let them apprise their
readers that the British government
in 1804, through their minster Mr.
Merry, ha* denied the legdity of any
blockade, unless k respect to particu
lar port* actually invested, even in
which cate vc«sels hound to such ports
ought not, they acknowledge,to be cap- |
tured until previously warned net to
enter them : let the people know thiit
a violation of this plain principle was ac
knowledged to be » gi levmioi^ivhich
•he United States fud a right to com
| plain. This ai >»■ pie CTfcum. nt, an 1 it is
nut one of a host of stubborn facts, se
•ected on account of its peculiar appli
cation, h.-’s put to rout all the force* of
those prints, which hed as u^u d arriv

Prince of Ponte Cor^^Bernadotte)
as a proper person to be chosen Crown
Prince ol Sweden.
“ At a peiiod when, after along Ses
sion the last Diet separated,the fairest
prospect of peace opened for Sweden ;
after a long series of severe misfor
tunes, lasting tranquility seemed to
have obtained for this kingdom. Three
treaties of Peace had secured the do
minion which remained at the end of
a destructive war, and a generous
P»ince, placed near the Throne, pro* J
mised powerfully to support
fttituuon f ormed by the 9tate^cf t^e
Empire, and every thing premised to
well disposed Swedish cTtfzens certain
indemnification for p'*st misfortunes.
His Royal fondly chared ia
j the pleasing h/'P'* in which his faithful
| subjects on this head, when
one of unexpected blows, with
j which frovidt.nce at times destroys
I the hq'pes of men, annihilated ours.
jTne Grown Prince Charles Augustas
1 was no more, and his death shrouded
; the future destinies of Sweden in a

an domination. They have nor, w i h
but one or two exceptions that we Hava
seen, republished if, and it is proba1 e
tha' they will not, and lor the best of
reasons, that it falsifies the uniform te
j nor of their assertions. It ought not
| here to pass unnoticed that these edi
I tors must wilfully have abett d injus
tice and encouraged the instruments
of it, for they could not but know o€
this decision of the B: itish governme.it
in 1804 which has been subsequently
disregarded in practice.
We apprehend that if if. will appear^
when the official accounts shall be rt
cqfred, th-’.t the act of France is a bona
fide transaction, according to our law,
Great Britain must revoke her edicts,
under whatever name, viel ting our
neutral commerce, or by the operatici*
of the law we ara placed in a state of
non-intercourse wi'foher.
There is little doubt hu( G. B. will
revoke her orders in Council, issued
subsequent to the French decrees ; but
that is not enough. Every violation
of neutral tight is not an order in
council, but it is hot therefore the less
a violation. If by a per inarity in ad
hering to her icfrac ions of national
law and neutral rights, she is placed
in a state ol non-intercourse with us,
it will be hei;own act, deliberately per
formed, with the law of the U. States
before her—a law irrevocable too, be
‘ ause it will have been acted under in
relation to one of the belligerents, and
could not be repealed without such a
breach of good lauh as the U. S. will
ot be guilty of, whatever exampla
.nay have been set by other nations*

ireadiul gloom. His R yal Majesty,
ivith a mind deeply affected by a loss,
universally so severely felt, yet mind
ful of his rojal duty, contempla’ed the
uate of public affairs, & felt thorough •
ly convinced, that for the preservation
af the independence of the Swedish
:mpire, it became indispcnsibly neccs
tnry to secure, without the least delay,
the succession to the T rone, which
appeared to him the only means of pre»
BCivmgthe tranquility of the Empire,
l>y a firm and wise government, found
ed on the fundamental laws of the con
stitution of our country. Deeply im
pressed with those sentimentr, nis ma
jesty perceived with pleasure that the
voice of his people, equally awnr.4 of
the necessity speedily to choose a suc
cessor to the Swedish Throne, loudly
and unanimously declared in favour of
the Prince of Ponte Corvo. Brilliant
exploits have illustrated his name as a
warrior, at the same time that eminent
talents mark him one of the most skill
ful statesmen of o r age. Universal
ly admired for the probity of his char
acter and the mildness of bis temper,
he found opportunities even in the
midst, of the misfortunes of war, to
shew his attachment to the Swedish na
tion, by the kind and friendly manner
i:> which he treated the Swedish on -
cers and soldiers whom the chance of
w r subjected to his power. All these
circumstances and con-iderati'-na could
not but m hi* Majesty’s attention end
determine his resolution, when the
question was, to propose a mccd>of
