MAJ (Mr. Grundy0 and his party
were admitted TO participation OF
thofe views"
In the frit Place, | feel no diipof-

tleman, mir Grundy) and his Politl-
cal friends, are favored with the imiles
and feeret opinions of his majeity,
the Prehdent and that they are
honoured with familiar intercourte
with that Meter, the Vice PRECEDENT;
and tina, the whole executive Cabinet
is open to them And Gr,i have 70
inclination to deny, what am conf

al party are lhut out from thote gra-
oious privileges.
And FIR, here is another truth,
WHICH | have no difpoii,ion TO deny,
which 10 that the republican gov
eminent is in jeopardy, totterlng to
its fall, Whole chief magistrate has
ihcial lecrets tor one, and not for
tue other part OF its Legislature.

If gentlemen with to know, what
J induces ne TO believe that The war
would not have been declared, it the
repeating decree had been timely

readily inform them. Had this de
cree been communicated 10 The brit.
ilh government in tItng, that govern.
mtnt wCu.d have repealed the Orders
IN Council. Gentlemen may talk as
much as they p,eaie, Ut the deelars-
ton CT The Prince Regent, the infer
cnee from what his been done, is
lrrehitable, upon every unprei udiced
mind, TO prove what would have
/ been done. or, no truth is more
certain, than that theic orders were
repc aIed aiter the receipt of the re
p aing decree with as much prompt
nels as the fate OF the bri,lfh cabl.
net would permit And they verih
Cd by a ready example all their pro-
J feiiions, OF a diipoiition to maintain
good understanding between their
government and the u. States. In
vain then do the gentlemen tell Us If
the length Of time which elapied be.
tw cen the communication of the re.
pealing decree, ard the repeating Of
the Orders in Council no honcit
ien6ble man will venture to DENY,
that, in this initance the Biitilh csbi-
net acted with good faith, and with
linceIe deGre to maintain peace
between the two countries.
The concluiion from ,heie prem
lies can be only one; and that is,
.tnat had the repeating decrse been as
il ought to have been, dilcloled tea-
fonably to the Britith cabinet, their
orders in council would have been
repealed and we now thoud, IN
liead of faiiering the CURES Of this
abominabie war, have been enjoying
the bleiIings of peace.
