Mr. Becretari,, NitiNaot of pt•Ove ' the tleciara-
Lion of tiv!.'French G:overithtent of the .Ith' of Art-
gust, 181 Di fnic,li an ict a 3 the An Gorern=
went and 11;•itish ought JO have t corded,
vvas comtnimicated' by the Emperor
011.01,0 his hightst offiehtl. organ, the Secretae.y.
of Foreign ~kti.aire,• .tt). the .11.inister Plemlpoten-
t:ay_of the tinited States at Faris. It is impos-
sible to' conceive an act more fiiYtn tl, authentic,
oti obligatory on the French Government- than
that alluded to: Does one Government- ever ask
or expect from autos ker to sectire Om performance.
of any duty, however important* more. thitrr its
ofrleialpiedge, ,foirPi and fully expressedil Can
better security bee givens for its performance). ..k0(l.
there been any doubt .pp subieet,,,the conduct
of Great Britain herself; in similar C;lses--, would
have completely renfoved it. The. wi“lle Iti.tory
of her diplomatic intercourse with ,other Powers,
ott the subject•of blockade, is in Accord with this
proceeding of the Frtitch Govertmtent: We know
that when. i er Government institutes a blockade;:
the Secretary of Foreign Affairs announces it k)
the Ministers of other Powers at London : and
that the same farm Is observed when they.are re
voked. Nor was the authenticity of either act,
thus announced, ever vestioned.
Here is an argument which appears to knock
doWn every thing before it. But Mr. Secretary
linsforgotteti to remember one very important cir-
cmnStance in this business, which, if brought into
the account, will make his argument like Huth-
bras gun— •

" Rccnil, and lick the (miler over."

The British Government neVer institutes 'a
blockade, without first announcing it in the Court
Oazette, the'vehicle through vPhicirell.public acts
are promulgated, and idving notice to all her Offi-
cers, that they may conduct themselves accord..,
ingly. Mr. Secretary hal not pointed oat to us
an instance' when the British Government has in-
stituted a blockade, or have revoked a blockade,
and notified 'the same to a Foreign Minister, when
no notice of it had been given to her Officers to
carrY it into effect.
Supposing the British Government had sent .a
note to our MilliSter at London, stating, that the
Orders in Council. were repealed as respects the
United States : finch Suppose 110:110hiCe of. dila re-
vocation had been published in The. London
tette; nor in any shape given to the British naval
comtutitulerS .but so far from' it, the Government
had, -in a public .instrument, declared to ttJe
world, that .the Order 3 were the fu.ndaniehtn-
of the land, and would never he 1 evoked ; ;:nd had
issued additional instructions to her end- -.:rs to
enforce them, against American vessgiS'with. re-
doubled vigour : and suppot,e, our vessels .had been
taken, condemned, and burned by the British
cruisers, wherever they could find them, avmvedly
under the Orders in Council, notwithstanding the
pretended repealing note :---would our Govern-
ment, in such a case, have 'considered such. a re-
vocation as satisfactory ? Would they, with all
these facts staring-Ahem in the, face,, have. had time
assurance,to present such a tiote to Buonuparte,
'as a. complete repeal of the British Orders in
Council

We could expose many other of the Secretary's
arguments, x%bich are, at ,least, as futile as the
above ; but what signifies disputing, at this time
of day, about the Order,, in Council, which are
now acknowledged on all hands ,to be satisfac-
torily revoked. The Orders cannot now be cortsi-
tiered as, the objects of the war ; and the long ar
guments of the Secretary are as useless, ~ts re-
spects the situation of the country, 43 would have
been so many 'columns relative to the tax on'tea,
which produced the Revolution. if the war has
any object now, it is that of impressment : and on
this subject w-e have the evidence of Mr. Munroe
himself,,,tbat it might have been satisfactorilyset-
tled in ISOS, had the men who then ruled •the
nation been willibg to have settled it,

FrtExott Love. Under the lloston head of
our marine netirs Will' be found anotheir proof of
the respect and good usage ‘rhich the Officers-, of
our loving friend' Napoleon :are in the aabit of
bestowing on our citizens. This conduct is Wt.
other proof of the revocation of the Berlin .and
Milan,Decrees, and presents (4773nteerlitl niotice for
the steady• 'and 'vigorous proseciaion of our4mr
against Great Britain. - •
