FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENcER
A MISTAKEi

The American politicians in England,
and the English politicians in Americ have
run INTO an error or the subject of the Or
derSin Council They take it for granted
thit ii Fr:nce has not repealed her Edicts,
there is no obligation on Great Britain to
rescind her Orders; as if the Orders them
selves, without any reference to France,
were not violent outrage on neutral
rights! And all they attempt to prove is.
that the French Emperor has not revoked
his DEGREES and that. they alledge, JUST
hes the continuance Of the Orders IN Coun
Gil If John is rogue, and James proves it
on him, Johns friends exculpate him by pro-
wing Nick rogue too. Such is the logic
of he federal leaders!
The truth Is his:-Tke United States
all along FRO ested against the infraction of
Their neutral rights by the nations at war !,
buI hey were not so silly as o go crusa
ding against the whole world. They, ne
vertheiess, always declared, if there were
but ONE enemy, they weald actively assert
their rights against that one. In this poll

dent too enlightened, a Congress too firm,
and ayeomanry too virtuous, to permit this
