What is this article about?

In a recent British House of Commons speech, Mr. Stephens, author of 'War in Disguise,' remarked that even the British party in America had not boldly misrepresented the true impact of the Berlin Decree on trade, unlike Mr. Pickering's defense of the British cause. This and other statements indicate the British ministry justly claims the Junto Federalists as their own.

Mr. Stephens, author of "War in Disguise" in a late speech in the British House of Commons, said—

"It has made use of this artifice. It might be alleged that our trade has managed from the Berlin decree even the British party in America had not been bold enough in the use of such open and continued misrepresentation, to state how the fact really was—Mr. Pickering, who had so ably and justly defended the British cause, had not stated it."

From this, and various other expressions used by the British ministry and their supporters, there can remain no question on the mind of any impartial or disinterested man, that they claim, and claim justly, the whole clan of Junto Federalists as their own.
