| Foster and his ietiers entirely out of the
question:. Are We to take the ideas of the
canting Chancellor of the Exchequer rs
those OF mis- master-thcn too, are we met by
conditions which place the repeal of the q.
IN =. out OF the question.-We must be able
to show the Marquis Wellesley the " instru-
lnent of revocation" OF the French DEGREES.
In vain do W. appeal to the fact itself
lbctter IN these days than reams of paper)-
mat no'cases Of CAPTURE do occur unde-
the decrees--in vain do we point to the no.
tihcation of Nj. Champagny the very me ans
resorted to by G.. herself when she takes
oil or puts on her own Orders in Gin
vain to the instructions of the Duke Of Massa
to the French Prize court-in vain to the.
orders, which have been sent to their GUS
tom houses These canting- conciliators
take care to overlook all these proofs /:
They slip over the fact by confeunding one
cause OF capture with anoher-they make
the notification of NJ. Champany, of no
force, because it is q conditionaP'- although
it is clear as n ray of light, that one of the
our own reach and that we have actually
complied with it, viz. resisted G: b. accord

gress.-
But, says Mr. Perceval, G. B. is not only
to revoke her orders, but to abandon her
ne7o system of blockade--yet has she a.
Fdopted no new system Of blockade. but had
adhered to those old principles which wera
the productive causes of her greatness Mr..
Percevai is mistaken--She has adopted a
nezv system, if her Convention with Russia in
1901, is to be taken as the rule of the. old
one That convention requires an adequate
force to be stationed off aport to make D.
observation-disclosures. of late, she has put a
whole continent under it by a mere dash of
the pen. q. B. may then truly giye'up her
new system, without abandoning one old
principle of that solemn convention.-Yet it
was urged by the Mar. Wellesley, that it is
not this which France rrleafls-her definition

nough into her hands to satisfy her, that we
do not wish to rob her of one cf her ancient
rights; of the right of legitimate blockade,
