Full Text
The prevailing opinion among the American merchants is, that the government of the U. States, as soon as the orders in council reach that country will prohibit all intercourse with England. The American minister, it is said, does not hesitate to give it as his opinion, that a war between the two countries cannot be avoided, if these are not revoked. Now as we have the official authority of one of his majesty's ministers, the chancellor of the exchequer, that all the provisions of these orders will be strictly and literally enforced, we must lay our account to a rupture with America. We have as yet no intelligence from that country of the actual receipt of the orders in council.
In the course of the last interview which the American merchants had with lord Bathurst, one of the deputation took occasion to express a hope that the mission of Mr Rose would tend to remove the differences subsisting between the two countries, and to produce some modification of the orders of council. But in this hope the noble lord did not allow the deputation long to remain, for he immediately observed, that Mr. Rose's mission related solely to the case of the Chesapeake, and that he had no authority to make any proposition, or to enter into any discussion with regard to the orders of council.
