The princes proclamation is we'll guar
dcd with conditions and whereas's. Had
his counsellors known that the matter ia
tended by them, had been already done to
their hands on this side the water, they might
have manifested q little more frankneSs, and
SO have got credit for their intentions at a
cheap rate.-tG.
A good general always provides for a
retreat"-so his royal highness's advisers
have left sufficient space to creep out, in
case they should find they have advanced
too far, by reserving the right of restoring
the orders in council if circumstances so re-
quire.-I6.
That the repeal Gas it is called) of the Bril-
fish orders, is owing to counting house cal
culations and shop keeping policy, is very
evident from the circumstance, that the pro-
olamation was immediately followed by a
grant Of licences or projections from British
capture, Tin the event of wary to British
goods, purchased for shipping to this coun-
try. John Bull we have found at last where
thy sensibility lies, and shall benefit bv our
discovery, As often as thy head strong, stiff
pecked conduct to US, compels US to seek a
remedy.-N.
The princes proclamation proclaims for
our restrictive system a complete and glo-
rious triumph! LIE. federal anti-AmericaD
cavilliers say what they may, it amounts to
proof, that had the formerembargo and non
importation laws continued even a few
months longer, we should have obtained
without sacrifice of blood or treasure. the
restoration of our rights, so shamefuly vio-
lated by England. Who by clamor and
threats, drove our government, at that time
from their efficient positions Let the
federalists of Massachusetts reply-Who
by sedi5ious and threatening resolutions, en-.
couraged our enemy to hope for a rebel
lion here, and to perseyere in their wrongs

An the documents alluded to in the Pre-

communications with the British government
since the declaration OF war, beng now be-
fore the pubic, every citizen is enabled to
5udgc of the propriety OF edc conduct of the
government, and of the nature of the con-
troversy, which he is sulemnly called ON ci-
thcr To maintain or TO abandon. We are
persuaded that every impartial person, who
hosrcad wish attention these documents has

government To reject it, and they were not
removed by the clear and satisfactory cxpla-
nation given by him, they doubtless must be
obvated BIZ the late communication To Ad-
mirAl Warren. Bv the proposal 10 arrange
an article relative to impressment without
an ar,nstice. even the indea Of nomenta-
ny intermediate suspension # the practice is
prec.uded. Aud with respect 20 the other
objection, the obscuity complained Of in the
proposition heretofore made, we forbear fur
Their comment. Ii that propositior was not
understood, aone that our government can
make ever wilt be. By processing not 70
understand it, the British government adj
monshed rs II was not in that mode = meant
to treat on This subject. BY committing he
negotiation tn ADMIRAL Warren, it was
strongly implied that it we did not aband1 on
our professions relative TO inpr&ssta ent. o.
Their arguments would be relied an. Shica it
might suppose would be more cifectnai. O.
theirs may indulge the hope Of an accommc-
dation through Admiral Warren. For orr
parts We can have none.
The United States are therefore now cal
led on to abandon, perhaps frever, their
fellow citizens to the mercy of the British
and the independence of their country, with
that frmness which becomes the descem-
dants of those illu>trious patriots who ACHE
we'd it. Their ability to do so is unquestiou-
able ; and to doubt their disposition would
be to accuse them of total destitution of
that sensibility to their dearest rights and
interests which must always constitute their
safest bulwark.

our laws any more than it is presumed to be-

1t is proper to state that similar deserti-

gate in an English port, in which no redress
