have ceased to violate our neutral Commerce,
that then this act is not to operate, if Great
Britain had not, on or before the second day
OF February last, revoked or modified her
esicts, &C.! Certainly not, for the act does
net mention the event of France having or not
having revoked or modified her edicts, and
and by the same parity of reasoning it can have
no conneXion whatever, with, any event men
toned in the act Of Ma, but is itself substan-
tive and independent.
This will afford some relief to our Yves
Indian tlsde, which even some of our =" wise
men of the East" were willing to sacrifice.
Indeed if there were no objections to this SELF
destroying measure,' this construction would
place the act upon reasonable grounds that
the twentieth of May next should be the peri
cd after which it should be criminal to import
goods from Great Britain and her dependen-
cies, as it would afford sufficient time for in
formation, which is of Itself strong argu-
ment In favor Ct the construction. But q
different construction, IS has been shcwn, CAN
never be admitted in coGrt of Justice.

ALEXANDRIA, Dec. 16.

A report originated in Washington ON Sa-
terday last which is thought to be entitled to
some credit, viz. That there had been a
change Of ministry in England, and that the
Orders in Council had been, or eroiild be,
rescihded. That Mr.. Baker, the British Sc
cretary obligation, made Communication to
member OF congress, in which he express
cd his belief OF such an event having taken
place, Is certain--it comes too direct to be
disputed.
