States, III) notice whatever was taken of theFrencli decree. One of the conditions thencontemplated was, ihat i he orders in councilshould he revived at the end of 8 months, un-less the conduct of (he French government &the resnk ofthe commiinic.atiniis with the go-veinmi nt of the U. Slates should l>e such asin theopin on .f the British government to ren-d' r their rcviial iinnecessai y ; a conditionwhich pro es incontestably iliat the Frencli de-cree was not considered by the Britisli govern-ment a sufficient ground on winch to repeal theor-l.-rs in conned It proves also that on thatday the British gove. nmcin hud resolved not to

repeal titc orders on ihe basis of that decree;

8. nee t'.ie pr-iposed repeal was to depend not onwhat die French government had already done,hut w hat it might do, and on arrangements tob*' entered into w'ith tlie U. S unconnectedwith th" French repeal.

The French decree of the 28tb April, 1811,

was transmitted to the TT. States by the AA’asp,

a public vessel, which had been long awaitingat the ports of G. Britain .and France, despatch-es from our minister relating to these very im-portant concerns with both governments. It

was received at the Department of Stale on the13th July, 1812, nearly a month after the Dec-laration of AV’ar against G Britain. Intelli-

gence of the repeal of the orders in councilwas not received until ahmit the middle of thefollowing month. It was impossible, therefore,that either of those acts, in whatever light!they might be viewed, should have been taken I

into eonsider.ation, or have bad :uiy influence'

in deciding on that important event.j

Had the British government been disposed .

t> repeal its orders in council, in conformity|

with the principle on which it professed to'have issued them, and on the condition which

|

it had itself prescribed, there was no reasonto delay the repeal until such a decree .as thatofthe 28th .April, 1812, should be produced.

—

Tlie declaration of the French government ofAugust 5, 1810, had fully satisfied every claim

|

of (he Brit sh government according to its ownprinciples on that point. By it the decrees ofBerlin and Milan were declared to be repeal-ed, the repeal to take effect on the 1st Novem-ber following, on which day it did take effect.

.

The only condition attached to it, was, either I

that Great Britain should follow the example,|and repeal her orders in council, or that the

U. States should carry into effect against hertheir non-importation act. This condition wasin its nature subsequent, not precedent, reserv-

1

ing a right in France to revive her decrees in|

case neither alternative was pt-rformed. By,

this declaration it was put completely in thepower of Great Britain to terminate this con-troversy in a manner the most honorable to

j

herself France had yielded to her the groundon a condition with which she had declared]lier willingness to comply Had she compli-

1

ed, the non-importation act would not havej

been carried into effect, nor could the French;

decrees have been revived. By refusing tocomply, she has made herself responsible forall that has since followed.By the decree of the 28ih April, 1811, the

decrees of Berlin and Milan were said to bedefinitively repealed ; and the execution of thenon-importation act against G. Britain was de-clared to be the ground of that repeal. Therepeal announced by the .declaratien of the Stli

August, 1810, was absolute and final, exceptas to the condition subsequent attached to it.

riiis latter decree acknowledges that that con-dition bad been performed, disclaims the rightto rev ve it, in consequence ofthat performance,and, extending back to the first of November,confirms in every circumstance the precedingrepeal. The latter act, therefore, as to the re-

peal, is nothing more than a confirmation ofthe former It is in this sense that those twoacts are to to be understood in France. It is

in the same sense that they are to be regardedby other powers.

In repealing the orders in council on the pre-text ol the F’rench decree of the 28ili April,1811, the British government has concededthat it ought to have repealed them on the de-claration of the 5th August, 1810. Ii is im-possible to di.scriminate between the two acts,or to separate them from each other, so as tojustify, on sound and consistent principles, therepeal of the orders in council on the groundof one act, and the refusal to repeal them on(hat of the other. The second act makes therepeal definitive; but for what reason ? Be-cause the non-importation act had been putIII force against G Britain, in compliance withthe condition subsequent attached to the for-mer repeal, and her refusal to perform it. Thatart being still in fone, and the decree of the28th April, 1811, being expressly founded onIt, G. Britain repeals her orders in council onIhe basis of tills latter decree. The conclu-sion is, therefore, irresistable, that by this re-peal, under all the circumstances attending it,

the British government has acknowledged thejustice of the claim of the U. S. to a repeal on'he tbrmer occasion. By accepting the latterepeal, it has sanctioned the preceding one ;

u has s.anctioned also the conduct of this go-vernment in carrying into effect the non-mpoi'tatioii act against G Britain, founded onthe preceding repeal.

Other important consequences result fromthis repeal of the British government. By fair

and obvious construction the acceptance of thedecree of the 28lh April, 1811, as the groundof the repeal of the orders in council, ought tobe cons' ru d to extend back to the IstNovem-her, 181o, be day on which the preceding re-peal took effect. The secretary of slate hasall confidence, that if the question could besubmitted to the judgment of an impartial ju-dicial tribunal, such would be its decision. Hehas equal confidence that such will be thejudgment pronounced on it by the enlightened

j

;ind imparlud world. If, however, these twoacts could Ih; separated from each other, so asthat the latter might be made the basis of therepeal of the orders in council, distinct fromthe former, it follows that, bearing date on the28th April, 1811, the repeal ought to have re-

lation to that date. In legal construction, be-tween nations as well as individuals, .acts areto lie respected fr.im the time they begin tooperate, and where they impose a moral or po-litical oblig.alioi> on another party, that obliga-

tion commtiices with the commencement ofthe act.

But it has been urged that the French de-cree was not promulgated, or made known totlie British government, until a year after its

date. 3'his objection was of no force. By ac-cepting an act bearing date a tear before it

was promulgated, it is ailmiUcd that in the in-

terval, nothing was done re|)ugnant to it. It

cannot be presumed that any governmentwould accept from another, as the basis onwhich it was to found an important measure,an act of anterior and remote date, pledging it-

self to a certain course of conduct which thatgovernment load in the interval departed fromand violated If any government had violatedan act the injunctions of which it was bound toobserve by an anterior one, in relation to athird party, and which it profes.sed to have ob-served, bclore ils acceptance by the other, it

could not lie presumed that it would cease to;violate after the acceptance. The conclusionis iiTesistible, that if the otiier government‘did accept such act with a knowledge of its

antecedent violation, as the foundation of anymeasure on its own part, that such act musthave been the ostensible only, and not the realmotive ofsuch measureThe declaratio" of the Prince Regent of the

21st April, 1811, is in full confirmation of

!these remarks. By this act of the British go-

'emment, it is lormally announced, on uie ao- u..; wo auur m meihqrity of a report of the Secretary of Foreign in like manner conditional. It is not a 1. tileAftaiis to the Conservative Senate of France, surprising, that tlie British government shouldthat the F’rench decrees were still in force, and have objected to a measure in another govem-that tlie orders in council should not be I'opeal- ment, to which it has itself given a sanction l)y

ed. It cannot fad to excite considerable sur-1

its (\wn acts. It is pr ipi r, however, to remark,prize that the British government should im-

Tlie discussion of other wrongs, p'U'ticiilar-ly that relating to impressment, had been clo-sed some time before the period alluded to. Itwas unworthy of the character of the UnitedSlates to pursue the discussion on that diff-t(.ence, when it was evident tliat no advantage'could be derived from it. The right was re-served to be brought forward and urged again,when it might he done with effect. In iltemean time the practice of impressment waspersevered in with vigor.At the time when war was declared againsi

The wholehistory of her diplomatic intercourse withother powers, on the subject of blockade, isill accord with this proceeding of the Frenchgovernment. AVe know that when her govern-ment institutes a blockaue, the Secretary ofForeign Aft’airs announces it to the ministersof other powers at London , a-d that the sameform is observed when they are revoked. Norwas the authenticity of either act, thus an-nounced, ever questioned.Had a similar declaration been made by the

minister of F'rance in the United States to thisgovernment by the order of his own, would itnot have been entitled to respect, and been res-pected !

To the demand made by the United Statesof the repeal of the British orders in councilfounded on the basis of the French repeal, ofAugust 5, 1810, the British government repli-ed, by demanding a copy of the orders issuedbv the French government for carrying intoeffect that repeal, a demand without examplein the intercourse between nations By thisdemand it ceased to be a question whether theFrencli repeal was of sufficient extent, or wasfounded on justifiable conditions. The pledgeof the French government was doubted ; ascrutiny was to be instituted as to the mannerin which it was to be discharged, and its faithpreserved, not by the subsequent conduct ofits criiizers towards the vessels of the UnitedSlates but by a copy of the orders given to itscriiizers.

was hardly possible that this g(?vernmcnshould have even heard of the decree of Reilin to which it related. It was stated at thtime of their adoption, and for some time aterwards, that they should be revoked as sooas France revoked’ her decrees, and itiattbBritish government would proceed witli thgovernment of F'rance pari-passu in the revication.—After the declaration, however, of thFrench government of the 5tli August 18Kby which the Berlin and Milan decrees weideclared to be repealed, the British govt rr

mfnt changed its tong, and continued to nsin its demands, to the moment that war wadeclared. It objected first that the French npeal was conditional, and not absolute—alth(the only condition attached to it, was, that <Britain should follow the example, or the IStates fulfil their pledge by executing lfi« noiimportation act ag.ainst ti’cr.—It was th-.n dimanded that France should repeal her interniregulations, as a condition of the repeal of thBritish orders in council.—Next, that thFrench repeal should be extended to all nettral nations, as well as to the U. States, sii

lastly, that the ports of her enemies, and aports from which the British flag was excUded should be opened to British manufacturein American vessels—conditions so extravagar.'.s to satisfy all dispassionate minds that thewere demanded, not in the expectation ihathey would or could be complied with, but tleryninate the discussion.

On full consideration of all circumstancesi

appeared that <be period bad arrived, when’ibecame the duty of the United Rtatea to takthat attitude with Great Britain, which wadue to their violated rights, to the securitv ctheir most important interests, and to theicharacter as an independent nation.

and ill half an hour after a large detachment

of British troops; and in the course of the
