" The above instrument is open to vo
tunes or conment-but our present re
marks shall be concise. We had earnestl,
hoped, and almost begun to believe, VIXEN
we should see what purported to be re-
peal OF the Orders in Council, the act would
carry on the face of it, at least SO much the
appearance OF fairness, that we might look
at II without perceiving gross insult to our
understanding. To say nothing of that mo-
nopolizing, pirate spirit, which makes the

involves the same principle that was the p,-
vot on which 'ur revolution turned-the a.

raid is the forerunner of minister from
England, authorised and determined to act
IN the spirit of justice. At present we see
no prospect Of peace, but through the dus-
