Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 7: March and June, 1812 We mean not to assert that the extraordinary increase of the value of imports and exports in the years 1809 and 1810 was owing to the orders in council; but we think that we shall be home out in assuming that the orders in council have at least had no ten deney to ruin our commerce or distress our manufacturers. That our manufacturers suffer distress is deeply to be lamented; but those who lead them to suppose that their distress arises from the orders in council grossly deceive them. So long as Buonaparte decrees that British produce and British manufactures, wheresoever found and to whomsoever belonging, ' shall be seized and confiscated, it would answer no good purpose to ourselves to revoke our Orders and re move every restriction. The orders in council might be right or wrong in point of belligerent policy; they might be right or wrong in point of inter-national justice: but it isutterly absurd, it is mere perverseness to contend that our passive acquiescence under the blockade decreed against our trade and manufactures would have been less injurious to them than even imperfect, or otherwise questionable measure of retaliation.
