l j Isauuouuces the important fact s6fcial-
,,,csr,ained &c. We know not what
I. hctis. The proclamation asserts that
..,se first of this month the French did
.,,e 10 violate our commerce. At the
,me Tine the president knew not but thai
/. French were capturing and condemn
arour vessels every day. A promise de-
ruding on contingencies is assumed tor a
nslty. We have not even an absolute
Msmiss. Officially ascertaiue d-The pre-.
sa.ut's proclamation is dated the second of
|hsmonth. twas handed TO the printer
adjudication on the first. The Inteli-
,tnssr of that day, The secondly announces
dr reception Of otIciol information from
France, with an evident inttnsion of hav-

s might have determined on the Procia-
nation deferred issuing il ill cBIriaI docu-
nsrts were received but tastling small
ssed printer has exposed them /; has d.
rbssd the dupl,cisy the little cunning Of
sl supposed greatness. The Enquirer
declared several days before
hand that the proclamation would belisspsd

lhe president has strictly and literally
pursued the track marked outby congress-
Hehas not. If he respects the conditional
promise of france the same as an act of
one power, the law binds him as much, il
not more, to respect the a{S0lute promise
uflpother. II ii be now a fact that France
has ceased TO violate, il is no less fact that
Enganl has ceased to violate. He knows
NJ that The promise of the 6fse is fulfilled );
buff that promise is fulfilled he does know
hat the promise of the other is also. Is
dc "olRciai declaration" of England less
solemn" than that of France?
