two American vessels, the Orlean.
packet and the Friendship were seized
at Bordeaux, the one before the 6,
and the other before the 18th Decem
Der.
Now, although at first sight i. would
appear that the seizure OF those vessels
was proof ola determination to revive
or prolong the operation of the Berlin
and Milan decrees-yet, are we conf.
dent that these cases were comprehend
ed under those DEGREES The Orleans
packet had attempted to enter the Me-
.diterranean but, after being some
time at Gibraltar, had changed her
destination for Bourdeaux. When che
arrived there. she was seized, more
than probably under the suspicion or
certainty of having received on board
British goods, the importation oil
which into France is penal. The
schooner Friendship, it appears, was
loaded with colonial produce, the i'm
portation of which is partially inter
dicted. These seizures then NAV
have been made under the Berlin and
Milan DEGREES. IF made under the
Berlin and Milan DEGREES, it may have
been supposed. considering the leogth
OF time intervening between the 1st of
August and the 9th of December, and
no intelligence having arrived of the
revival OF the non-intercourse against
Great Britain by the United States,
or of the repeal of the orders in ceun-
Gil by Great Britain it may have been
supposed, we say, that the government
OF the United States did not think pro
perato avail itself of the promise held
forth by the DUO de Galore in his let.
ter OF the 9th August, Whatever NAV
be the fact, it appears at least that
those seizures had not received the
sanction of the Emperor, were not f.
nal, and must, under the circumstances
until confirmed, be considered as the
violent proceedings of an individu-
al.
At the time of the seizure of the
first vessel, the Essex had not arrived
lat the time of the seizure of ihe Sc
cond, the news of her arrival had not
reached Paris.
Determined to fulfil our own en-.
gage ments with good faith, we are to
consider others possessed of the same
disposition until we have proof to the
contrary. Is this proof to be found in
two isolated cases of seizure, both of
which may have arisen from causes
wholly unconnected with the Berlin
and Milan DEGREES We apprehend
not. We cannot SO readily suspect
any government of the dupicisy of
turing our vessels into her ports with
q design as systematic as that of the
huntsman when he spreads his tolls to
snare the prey. No; we will not, with
out further proof, suppose that the
French Emperor designs to violate or
evade his solemn engagement to the
u. States.
We cannot but expect that the first
easteriy wind vii! watt us the intcili-
gence, that the DEGREES of Berlin and
Milan were formally annulled on the
receipt ut the Presidents proclamation
of the 1st November. If, contrary to
all rational calculation, it shall not be
the case, It will then rest with Congress
to repeal the law under which the pro-
clamatlon of the President was issued,
or take such other steps as the public
interest shall appear to them to re.
quire.---Nat. Int.

that as the French armies suffered
more for want of provisions than for
