OF the total repeal of the orders in council.
The only measure yet adopted by our go
VerDment in way of retaliation, is that of
an embargo. Orders were issued yesterday
for OBTAINING ali American vessels in our
ports; and for sezng and bringing in all
found or the high Seas. These vessels will
be restored in the event of AN amicable ar
raDgement. 1t has been stated that an un-
dcrstanding is agreed upon by the Ameri
can merchants, according to which, some
of these vessels, now loaded for the United
States, are TO sail for Halifax under con-
Voy, to be given up there it the war should
continue. If the war should not continue,
rs it is to be hoped it will not, they will be
so far on their voy ages.
Our ministers have been forced to take
steps to retaiiate on the Americans but
the security of our own possessions is the
first object. And yesterday orders were
given for sending very considerable REIN
farcement of troops to our American gar
lisons.
Strong symptoms of dissatisfaction. it is
said, burst forth in various parts of Ameri-
ca, the moment the Presidents annunciati-
on of war was made known The colors of
the merchant vessels in Boston harbor were
hosted half-mast high--minute guns were
fired, and the President of the United States
with the Emperor Napoleon seated On his
shoulders. were burnt in eftigy. At New
York the popuiaCe are said to have shewn
their disapprobation in a most marked man
rer. A letter from Boston, of June 23. at
ter mentioning the receipt, at that port, of
the Legislative Act under which war is pro-
claimed, adds, The Assembly of Massa-
chusetts is now sitting. and some very strong
and nflammstory resolutions will be passed
against the war, and against the policy OF
the government in declaring it."
