Most important Declaration.

This morning the following Declaration
was published by His Majesty's Government
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1812-06-11
BRITISH ARTIFIcE.

In the declaration of the British Prince
Regent respecting conditional revocation
of the orders in council, given in oui. paper
of yesterday, tile reader will perceive that
the British cabinet have presumed that by
shallow artihce they can place the Anne.
rican government in the wrong, and pre-
vent it from indicating its rights and inte-
rests by the sword. But they will be dis
appointed. They will find that America is
no longer to be the dupe of insulting strata
gems and sham negotiation. SO far from
suffering this declaration to stay the war
proceedings of America, it ought to have the
etfect Of acceleratiug them. Ii has added
another item to the long catalogue of gross
insults and injuries. 1t is founded or the
idea that America is a child or fool, desti-
tute of understanding or discernment, and
prepared To surrender, upon the most tri-
vial grounds, those essential PRINCIPLES of
neutral maritime law which she had resolv-
ed to take UP arms TO assert and re-esta-
blish.
What is the substance of the English de
claratious 1t is that America must CONT
nae 70 submit until France snail uncoHdifi-
onaiiy repeal the Berlin and Milan DEGREES
A repeal so far as respects America is not
sufficient. English manufactures must be
admitted into the ports Of the allies of
France before the United States, n neutral
power, independent of either bellieerent
shall be allowed to exercise their most in
disputable commercial rights Great Bri
tain not only requires this unconditional. for.
NAL, boundless repeal of the French edicts
but she has the impudence to prescribe the
manner IN which it shall take place as if
America nad right to dictate to France the
