nerce oil the United States, by similar re-
sttl~tIons ON her part.-And On the second
point, that you intended only to urge, that m
consequence ot the extraord rdinaiy bid il ade Of
England, your government had been obliged
10 blockade France, and TO prohibit all trade
in French articles, in return for the prohibit
tipu by trance OF all trade in English ,xticies.
1t Is sufficient To remark OH the Il n lkoiDt,
that oh whatever ground the repeal OF The
non-imporlaiion act is required, the Unicd
STATES are justified in adhering to il, by thc
refusal OF the British government to repeat
It's orders in council and ii distinct}6p is
thus produced between Great Britain and sho
other belligercnts, it must be referred totac
difference IN the conduct of the two parties.
On the second point, have to ol$erve
that the explanation given cannot be salsiac-
tory, because it does not meet the cafe now
existing .-Erance did, it is true, dedarc .
blockade of England, against the trade Of the
United States, and prohibit all trade n Eng
iish articles on the high seas, out this block.
adc and prohibition no longer exist. It is
true also, that part of those DEGREES, did
prohibit a trade in English articles cwithiS
her territorial jurisdiction but thl probibI-
,ion violates no national rights, d neutral
SoWWefCc, Oh the CniieO otatcSe ptuny~s'
blockade and prohibition are continued, ~
violation Of the national, and neutral nights OF
the United States on prctext OF retaliation,
which, II even applicable, could oSy be ap-,
piled to the former, and not to the lstter in-
terdic,s, and !, is-rcquircd ,hat. France shall
change her internal regulations, 4ssnst Eng
lisb trade, before England wiIfshange her in.
,ernal regulations against the trade Of tEer
United States. X
But you still insist tha, the French DEGREES
are uDrevoked, and urge in proof of it, fact
drawn from Mr. Russell's correspondence,
that some American vessels have been tsken
since the frs, Of November, in 4heiri route
TO England. 1t is satisfactory answer to
this remark, that it appears by the same sor- 4
respondeDce, that every American vessel
which had been taken in that trade, the seiz-
ure of which rested on The Berlin and Mifau
DEGREES only. were, as soon ,skthst fact was
ascerta'ned, delivered up to their owners.
Might there not be other grounds Also, on
which seizures might be made |! G.. Britain
Claims right to seize for o,hcv causes, and
all nations admit il in case Of contrabsnd -cfR
