The Circular of the Secretary of the Treasury
discloses the next step taken in this interesting con-
certi. It declares the state of things whnit will
three months hence exist with regard to Great
Britain. in case 6. she shall not have revoked or
modified, in like manner. her Edicts violating the
neutral commerce of the Lidded States," accord-
ing to the same Act of Congress, which prohibits
"loth the entrance of British vessels of every de-
scription into the harbours and waters of the Visited
States, and the importation iuto the United States
of any articles, the growth, produce, or manufacture
of the dominions, colonies, and dependencies of
Great Britain, end of any articles whatever brought
front the said dominions. colouies, aud dependen-
cies."
This was a result too important to lie passed
over in silence by a Government instituted for the
protection I.l' its citizens in all their lawful pursuits.
As so large a portion of our ordinary trade is carried
De with Great Britain and her depeodancies, it vise
proper that whoever went to suspend it shnnld he
clearly stated, that every doubt on this head might
be removed. Prompt as this notice is, it will barely
afford time for the merchants to give requisite in-
structi .its to their agents in England. and to the
merchants in England to avoid the penalty attached
to if) infraction of our laws. in cases he shall nut re-
sok, her Orders. This official notification was fur-
ther important, as it announced to Great Britain
owl France the determivation of the Executive to
carry the Act of Congress, with scrupulous gond
faith, into effect. To the former it carries a serious
appeal, claiming the same respect for our neutral
rights as we had experienced from our enemy,
while to the latter it is a proof of our rigid impa►-
tiality and purpose to act towards he► as we did to
her enemy under cirenuertanees in some armoire
analegeus.
Thus has the present Chief Magistrate, in the
short period of eighteen mouths, had en opportu-
nity, by the most emphatic and striking displays of
impartiality, to chew his unbiassed and inflexible
regeril to justice towards the two Colossal Powers.
whose deadly fends so deeply disturb the remise of
the world. In the arrangement with Mr. Erskine,
this disposition was shewu towards Great Britrin ;
it is now similarly exhibited towards France. The
smote measure that war dealt out to one is now ex-
tended to the other. Men who see nut the verieet
etaves of party, must approve, in this last ineaucc,
what they so warmly applauded re the former.
Will England fellow the example thus happily
