THE ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

ne OkOEKO In COONCl11.
1t will be seen from our report of the de-
bate in the House OF Commons last night, that
Ministers have determined % resciDd the or
ders in council, but they mean, most wisely
as we think, to make this measure contingent,
on the repeal OF the American non-importation
act and to hold out the threat of similar regu-
lations, if France be permitted by the Ameri-
cans, with IMMUNITY, TO commit those disgrace
full aggressions upon the law of nature and
nations, by which the conduct of her Ruler
has been ever distinguished. The Gazette of
Saturday will contain Proclamation to this
effect.
The termination of our disputes with A
merica is thus Ut hand, and we trust there is
not human being on either side of the Allan
tic, who will not raise his hands in tharkfulness
to Heaven for the concili tory disposition
which the British ministers have manifested
Without entering at all into the question OF
the policy or impolicy of the orders i'll coun-
Gil, for the discussion would now be fruitless,
We hail even their temporary repeal as a bes-
sing conferred upon mankind in general The
TRADES If the French Journals, and the fac
tious spirit ofthe admirers of the French prin-
ciplrs, both in Great Britain and America, had
certainly rendered The retaliatory measures a.
dopted by the British government unpopular
md even obnoxious. They were eagerly
caught at as sub ect of popular clamor, and
70 which all the dislresses CT the poor were
ascribed
The opening of the trade with America
will now prove how far the conclusion drawn
by most individuals from the evidence laid be-
II: aI( CT
sincerely do we hope the revival OF brisk
traffic between the two countries Will raise the
dropping pirits of our manufactures, and
give bread to the thousands Of our fellow
countrvmen, whose discomfort 1--WE will not
say disaffection) is described as having arisen
from the interruption of our intercourse with
America.
But the beneficial effects of this magnani-
nous concessions on tie part Of Great Britain,
will be felt far beyond the limits of the Brl-
fish empire If it be true that there exists IN
America French faction, always alive to e.
very thing that can produce rupture between
the two countries, the fulcrum upon which
they rested their animosities is now removed
ard the President of the United States must
now retrace his warlike steps, and resume tie
| language and the attitude ct peace. France,
we have no doubt will continue to burn, sink
and destroy the defenceless American mer-
chantmes as usual, but we look forward to
revolution in the popular sentiment In Ame-
RIGA, and Great Britain will then no longer
have to contend single handed against the
common enemy of civil liberty. We trust
that the sober, the enlightened, & the wealthy
part of the American population 1--WE mean
the Federalists) will now resume the legit-
mate preponderance in the councils OF their
country. The real motives for the clustering
documents against Great Britain, which have
issued from the Democratic party IN the Y.
States, will then be disclosed, and the lmpor-
tant discovery will be then made of what are
| really the true interests of America ---ofdr.
