HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Tues DAY, June %
Revocation ofthe Orders in Council.

Revocation Of the Orsers in Council.
Mr.. Brougllam rose and said--I never
addressed the House with such heartfelt
satisfaction on the present occasion; be-
Cause after what passed on preceding
night, it is TO myself peculiarly pleasing to
learn, that this day an order has been is
sued by His Royal Highness in Council,
OF a nature which to me, and to the Hon.
Friends with whom have consulted, Is
perfectly in every way neutrality-suspicious.,
hear, hear , Under these welcome circum-
stances, cannot sit down and close my lips
as it wore for ever upon the important sub
ject OF the Orders in Council, without e.,
pressing my sense of the farnk and manly
conduct of Government in the mode they
have adopted of recalling them. --(Hear,
hear from all sides.)-To say more.-As
one OF the country, * on behalf of the coun.
try, beg to thank Ministers for the manly
and becoming Declaration they have made.
-(Hear !)-I know that the effect of the
revocation OF the Orders in Council will be
the revival and re-animation of cur expi-
ring trade and manufactures, and hope
that it will be met with a proper spirit i'm
the United States.-(Hear )-Thr Ian
guage employed by the British Ministers is
not foreign to that of Cancellation, and I
trust, therefore, that an equal conciLiatoru
and friendly dishosition 7vnf be sheavn, as
indeed it naturally must, by the .4meri-
can EreeutiUe.-(Hear,h hear DIFF such
an amicabie feeling be not excited. though
cannot anticipate such an event, shall
be one ofthe iaSs men in the country 10 say
that IN such q case, the Government oTkhc
British emhire ought not to be firmly suh-
horted.
Lord Castlereagh--It must always afford
His Majesty's Government great satisfac-
ton TO merit the appreciation SO literally be-
slowed, but more particularly at the present
moment. 1T was the wish of Government
as expressed on a former occasion, that a
suspension, and not revocation of the Or
o;ers in Council should be adopted, and the
Hon Member will not fail to recollect that
in a Resolution which he himself once pro-
posed to the House, a suspension only was
commended. ---( Hear, hear from Mr.
Brougham. Jon consideration, however, it
was found that the word Sushen8ion was not
to be found in the n onintercourse Act, and
the President of the United States was only
empowered to- repeal it, on condition that
the Orders in Council were REVOKED. 1t
therefore appeared to Ministers proper, i'll
order that no risk might be incurred, that
q revocation and not suspension of the Or
ders in Council should be determined upon !;
Great Britain still preserving all the pow
ers and rights she would have possessed, pro-
vided the other course of proceeding had
been deemed more expedent. The House
will also find that Ministers, in a spirit of
Cancellation which was not less their desire
than their duty-(Hear, hear had made
it not merely a revocation but u rctrospec-
tive revocation, to be in force from the mo
ment that the French Edict declaring the
Berlin and Milan DEGREES repealed have
been communicated 10 them.
SHEFFIELD, June 2Olh .--.Y e3terday
there were great rcjo.cings in this town, in
consequence 0f the determination Of Govern
ment to suspend for time the Orders in
Council, by which America viii have an op
portunity Of evincing her desire 20 remain
on amicable terms with this country. The
ringing of bells and the firing Of cannon
were among the modes rcsorted TO by the
people to demonstrate their JOY on this occa :
sion. We fervently pray that neither the
cause to repent this measure, evidently con-
coded by the latter to relieve the present
dis;resscss of the former"
LEEDS, June 20-rhe beneficial effects
Of the repeal of the Orders i'm Council are
already apparent in the impulse given 60
the woollen tradc.--Bales of cloth, which
have been stored in the warehouses of the
American merchants for months, in some
instances we may say for years, are now in
transit to the place Of their destination and
We are peculiarly happy to state that there
we're more purchasers in the Leeds Cloth
halls this morning, than there has been Oh
any market day since the enactment Of the
celebrated Ofdsrs III Coancil,S'
