(says The Uts!Erasure Faced Gazette) attempts,
most vainly attempts, to hollow a belief, thai the
late British Order is the rescinding promised by
Mr. Erskine, gait in consequence of which pro.
raise the President opened the intercourse with
England. Now, although the Editor of that
Paper every clay cries out " give us light," yet he
plainly shows an unconquerable aversion to what
little light he already possessed. Every body
kuuwc, that in consequence of the engagement of
the British Minister, that his Government Will
have removed their offensive orders on the 10th of
June, the President issued his prUel:unation, dated
April 10, removing the legal restrictions on our
trade with England ,• a proclamation which all
English-haters hate. This new order iv dated April
WI, no m ire than seven days after the I,rucla.
Therefore it could nut have been that
which Mr. Erskine promised. It was a upon.
taiseaus act, ur it was procured by Mr. Pinckney
on the Tut, without any reference to the pledge
of Mr. Erskine. Every well.dispused citizen
waits with patience the answer to the American

seouenee of the arnngemeets mad: at Washing.
tun, in April. If the British Government refuse
to rearm that %silica the representative of the
Kist el England has promised, then might we M.
robre and wage war against that country. Such
a rate of thi igs is nut at all likely to ensue, and
hem is the cause of some men's vexation, and the
pat tial chiradatiun of the press.
Wa.utNGTOll, Jetts 12.—The Messenger who
wen, to England in the Pacific has returned to
this city, and it was at first said, that he had
brought very bad news, as the friends of France
were in high spirits. They proclaimed that Great
Britaiv hid been deceiving us ; that while she
was holding out the olive-branch, she had de.
dared all the world in a state of bl•vckade, and
thus rut up our commerce by the roots. Now !
said they, there is but one course fur us to
pursue, and that is to open intercourse with
France, declare war with Britain, take Ca-
nada and Nova Scotia, and establish internal
et inufactures on a large scale. The war party
es:ert, that a contest with Great Britain is nu
longer to be avoided, and it is ezpected that they
will this very day bring forward sonic measure or
other, with a view to enable them to fulfil their
awn prediction. lam assured, however, that no
alarm exists in the Cabinet, and that the President
& • a sot consider tharany insurmountableobstacle
to our amicable arrsegement has as yet been inter-
posed.
P. S. The war party were in raptures yester-
day at e hat they deemed the good news ; but
they are Tate Knights of the Lung Visage. I ant
assur d this moment, and the public may rely
arm the fact, that the President has no serious
apprehension of a failure in the negotiation. Thy
men of war sprung up yesterday like the men of
Cadmus, bristling with spears, and blooming with
laurels ; but " dust they weft., and to dust they
are returning!"
