A Committee of Merchants trading to America
have, it is said, requested an interview of the Marquis
WELLESLEY, in order to ascertain whether Mr. PINE
NEY had made any communication to his Lordship o•
the tidings said to have recently come from France'
and what are the precise intentions of our Ministers.
' in !elation to the continuance of the Orders in Coun•
cil.—Our own opinion is, that nothing certain can be
declared on this head by us till the positive acts of the
French Government are known; for as to its declare.
Lions, we have before shewn how little they are to be
attended to. Qn the sth ef last August, M. Curie
PAGNY, in a letter to Mr. Amestwous, sayt—" In this
new state of things, I am authorized to declare to
you, that the Berlin and Milan Decrees are revoked,
and that from the Ist of November they will cease
to be in force." Who could have thought after this
that any further difficulty would have occurred ; but
that our Orders in Council must of course have fallen
to the ground ? When, lo! on the Bth of last Decetw
her, the same M. CHAS PMINY thus addresses his Mat.
ter : " Sire, your Majesty will iserrevere in your De.
trees so long_ as England persis.s in her Orders ei
Council." The phrase " will persevere," it is evi•
dent, indicates the actual existence of that meantre
which had been declared to have previously ceased.
When the French decrees are actually, that is, not
declaratively, but operatively withdrawn, there cannot
exist a shadow of plea tor the continuance of our OP
ders of Council, We know not what truth there may
be in the late news said to have reached Mr. PINKSII
-from Vrauce ; but the sole penalty of our taking time
tp try its validity is the substitution of the Norsanter.
Course for the Interdiction Act.
BREAD.—This day, there being no Court of Alder•
men, the LottplainYeat, after inspecti g the returns,
ordered it to remain at present prices.

test can be purchased,
