Mr.. Monroe.

~
Mr. Monroe.
I.oNpoN, June 50, 1872.
az have, a, leoeth, had the satisfaction
to announce to you, in my letters OF the
26th instant. the revocation OF the or
ders in council.
You will. without doubt, be some
what surprised that this revocation IS
founded ON the French decree OF the
2Stb Of April, 1871.
:. The real cause Of the revocation Is
the measures Of our government. These
measures have produced decree OF DIS
tress among the manufactufcrSsot this
country that was becoming lnlnseraeie
and an apprehension Of still greater 'sl'
serv, from tie calamitics of war, drove
them to speak language which could
not be misunderstood or disregarded.
Many members Of the house OF COM
mons, who had been the advocates OF
the orders in council, particularly Mr.
Nilberforce, and others from the holth-
ern counties. we're forced now :" make
a stand against them, or 10 nicer the ~
dignation of their constituents at the APP
preaching election. 1t is, therefore, the
country, and not the opposition which
has driven the ministry to yield on THIS
occasion, and the eloquence OF Mr..
Brougham would have been in vain had 1t
been destitute Of this support.
"Vhat has now been done, has been
most reluctantly done, and yielded to
coercion instead of being dictated by a
spirit of Justice and Cancellation. The
ministers were resolved 10 concede no
thing until the last extremity. Lord
Castlereagh undoubtedly went down to
the house of commons on the 9th inst.
determined to preserve The orders In
council in their full force, and, when he
perceived that he should be in the mi.
nority, he endeavored to compromise by
giving up as little as possible
f." 1t was decided by the cabinet, In
consequence of the vague declarations OF
his lordship on that night, to susfend
the orders in council. and to make this
suspension to depend upon conditions to
be previously proposed to the United
States. Driven from this ground by the
melton of Brougham for the call OF the
house for Thursday the 25th OF this
month, the ministers at length issued
the order of the 2Sd, and even this or
der was carried in the cabinet by small
majority only five members voting a.
epinst it with these facts before me, !
feel myself constrained to chasten my
exultation on what has taken place, with
some fear off return of the old injustice
in q new form"

MR.. RUSSELL TO Mr.. MONROE.


Loadon, May 25. 1912.
SIR-The assassination of Mr.. Per-
cevaI has led to dissolution Of his mi
nistry, and l hope may lead to an aban-
comment of his system, az far as we are
concerned.
The vote, on motion of Mr.. Steward
Wortlcy, OH the slst, for an address to
the Prince Regent, to form more eff
cient administration, has driven the old
ministers to offer their resigna;ion.-
The new arrangements are entrusted to
lord Wellesley, but nothing is yet eff
fected.
Mr. Canning appears to be associated
with his lordship III this business, which
/ cannot consider as circumstance We
~ suspicious to US.
There will, undoubtedly, be much
difficulty in forming the new cabinet !;
none Of the old ministers will act under
lord Wellesley, he having SO recently
refused to act under them. Besides
there is considerable difference on es.
ssntial points of policy The members
OF opposition have repugnance to act
onder any leater not taken from their
own ranks, aud they certainly will not
constitute a part OF any administration
that does not adopt their system.
Toe probability, therefore, is, that eli
Their lord Wellesley and Mr.. Canning
viii not succeed in performing the task
imposed upon them, or that they Will
perform it so imperfccdy as 20 expose
their work TO early destruction.
Whatever may he the Ingredients Of
which the new cabinet may be composed

the orders In council will be modified if
not removed. The effects of our en- :.

Ceeding.

MR.. MONROE TO MIR, BARLOW.

Def0rtment Of State. Jane l6, 1912.
Sln-An act declaring war against
Great Britain will probebly pass both
Houses of Congress on this day or to-
morrow. 1t has already passed the
House of Representatives, and, from
what is known of the disposition of the
Senate, its assent Is expected without
delay.
This result has grown out of the con-
tinued aggressions of that power on our
commerce. Propositions we're made in
both Houses of Congress to comprise
Fra"ce in the same declaration, and in
the Senate the vote was Is for to II
against it. In the other House the ma
jority against it was much greater. Its
defeat in both Houses has been doubt
less in great measure owing to pas
sage lii your last letter, which intimat-
ed the intention q the French govern
ment to make some proposition in favor
of indcmnities, to be comprised in the
treaty you were negotiating, whereby

London. Jupe l8 1917.
SIR hand you herein the Times
of Yesterday, contarlng the debate In
the house oil commons on the preceding
evening, relative 70 the orders In coun-
Gil. From this debate 1t appears that
these measures are to be abandoned, but
as vet no efficient extinction has been
announced. The time already elapsed
since the declaration OF lord Castleressh,
excites suspicion that either the pro-
missed revocation will not take place, or,
what is more probable, some other nea-
sure, equally unjust, is now under con-
sideration, to replace those which are to
be revoked.
hope, sntilthe doings heresre ascer-
tanned with certainty and precision, there
will be no relaxation on our part.

THE ENEMY.

Yesterday, about one O'Clock, the United
States Flo'illa, consisting of d Gun boats.
commanded by Commodore Lewis, which
left Sandy Hook on Wednesday night, came
in sight OF the British Squadron in Long Is
land Sound, near lands Point and after
some mareuvering, IN which much nautical
skill was displayed, having to contend
gainst strong tide, the Gun Boats Com
menced firing at the enemy, at the dis
lance Of about two miles and a half One
OF the frigates, supposed to be the Acasta
got under way, apparently With an intent
to oTiDg the Flotlla to close action, sut
which they we're Obliged to avoid in conse
quence Of the wind being too heavy to ad
NIT their lighting to any advantage. Alter
exchanging 20 or so shot, cur boats came
to anchor, and the frigate returned to her
eonsorts.
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1813-09-16

1t is said. that after the British got pos
session of the upper deck Of the Chesapeake
frigate, fourteen of her crew rushed to her
magazine, with the avowed determination
of blowing up The ship, together with her
antagonist, the Shannon, which was then
longside. They were prevented by the gun
ner's (who had two SOM OH board) closing
the door of the magazine on them. Had
they succeeded in their desperate attempt,
however their conduct might have been cen
sured by those who cannot feel I" the glow
of young ambition" their heroism and self
devotedness, would have insured an immor-
