In the note I had the hurior to address your eXct-liencv on the 10th November last the spirit of the English government was so far noticed as to Anticipate the fact no v proved by experience, that its orders in council violating the rights of neutrals', would not be revoked. .The decl-ration of the frince Regent of the SlsV of April, ha placed that fact beyond ll question. In doing this he has re peated the assertion so often advanced 6y his ministers and judges that the "decrees of France j of a' similar" character are like wise unrevoked. r .,', You.
