The following pertinent re-

agreeably to promife. But will
this menfuie produce all the cf
feels which have bun espufted
by our government ? Will Great
Britain revoke her Orders in
Council—and will fhe confent to
give up her paper blockades ? It
could be wilhed we had all ne-
Ceffary a durances that we are not
to be diiappointed. Is it pcfliblc.
that the Br.tilh fleet can be lap
