The best description of the purpose of the Non-Intercourse Act is: to allow U.S. merchants to resume trade with all countries except Britain and France.

The Non-Intercourse Act, passed in 1809, aimed to lift the embargo on trade with other nations while still prohibiting trade with Britain and France in response to their interference with American shipping.
