Chlcnor date to the Berlin de

ernment is bound by every dic
tate of juflice, as well as regard
for hoi- own plighted word, in-
ftantly to withdraw them, when
fhe is made diftin£tly to perceive
that they are the only exifting
caufe of the French edi&s now in
force.
II then, England either revoke
her blockade orders, of date an
terior to the Berlin decree, or
formally declare that none fuch
exift, and France refufes to re
voice her Berlin decree, fhe will
hand felf-condemned before the
world as the violator of neutral
rights. If, on the other hand,
England refufes to take this ftep,
afrerfo fair an offer, file will hand
in the attitude of the original ag-
grefibr, and mud be viewed as
an inexorable oppreflor, who,
under falfe pretexts, is aiming a
deadly blow at our maritime ex
igence.
In either event we cannot be
at no Id's to decide which gov
ernment is to be viewed as moft
hofliie. Nat. Int.
For the ARGUS.
The documents refpefting
our foreign relations, recently
communicated to congrefs, pre-
i'ent fome gleams of hope that
the two great belligerent powers
are at length about to awake to a
more correct perception of their
"true interests. Our readers will
recolleft that France has Readi
ly juftified-her Berlin decree, as
a retaliation for previous violati
ons of neutral rights by Great
B itain, and that Gnat Britain
has as invariably juftified her or
ders in council as retaliatory of
the Berlin decree ; while each
. government has all along avow
ed its readinefs to refeind its e-
didbs, provided its enemy would
