ohiect not professed 10 the order Of the
council. If ministers are really deter.
mined on such an object, they should
have distinctly avo~edft, and not have,
continued 20 wrap it up inf that mass Of
words and complication Of sentences
which mark the whole of thsss orders,
and which leave the merchants subject
to the capricioss and toe often contradict
tory Interpretation Of courts Of Admir-.
atty. The American merchants, how
ever, have been able to trace, in this
labvrin,h Of phrases the hostile tendency
Of the decree against their trade, and
HeAey-have accordingly demonstrated.
Some Of these gentlemen have already
had an interview with Mr.. PeTceval -;
and a deputation from the committee OF
American merchants are this day to
meet Earl Bathurst, Mr.. Canning, Mr..
Perceval, Mr.. Rose, and MIR. Huskis-
son, in order to ascertain the precise
construction which Ministers and their
agents mean TO put upon the order OF
council. (, .
1t is stated that some farther Orders
of Council for the regulation of trade are
determined upon BY Ministers. To
some Of these orders the late DEGREES re.
fer: but one Of a new description is sx-
pected, which is said to be more OF an
hostile character, with regard. to neu-
trails. than any that have vet appeared.
All who are concerned in the Ameri.
can trade seem to consider 1t q mere pre-
tence on the part of Ministers, that these
measures hadnot been long since deter
mined upon. 1t must indeed be reeol-
lected. that the threat Of a general block.
ade has been a common topic OF conver'
sation on Change, particularly among
the Ministerial circles, for more than
two months past.

LONDON, Nov. 10.
The American minister is understood
to be surprised at the terms Of the late
decree Of our Cabinet. His surprize is
indeed very natural F; as not the remotest
idea Of such a measure was minated to
Mr.. Munroe, on his departure-nay
more, Lord Bathurst states, that it was
unknown to our minister, MI. Rose,
aud that it was determined upon when
he sailed. Mr.. Pinckney is said to
complain particularly of that part Of the
decree which relates to" Certificates Of
origin"-as that arrangement is calcula-
ted altogether to prevent the intercourse
of America with any port fof France or
its dependencies. Thi. arrangement is
conceived to be perfectly wanton, Al it
cannot serve any avowed object Of this
country and must injure America
"Certi6cates origin" are documents OBJ
tanned from the French consuls, testify
ing that the cargo to which they refer, is
not ofthe produce hr manufacture Of the
British empire, aud the production Of
such acertifcate is necessary before any
cargo from a neutral can be landed ia an
enemy's polrt-Now the destruction Of
such doeuments must completely extin.|
