On board the ship Lucia, taken in the Baltic, was found a very curious paper, and which shews in the clearest light the tricks the English - merchants ate playing to cover their designs, pretending that they are neutrals. This is the case with almost all the ships in this sea, Which ate all destined to and from London.

AMSTERDAM, DECEMBER 14. The English declaim with violeace against the sys tem of prohibition which shuts the Continent against their merchandize, and particularly against the order for burning the produce of their manufactures ; an order which was executed at the same time at every point. Any well-informed man in England cannot, however, consider, as without precedent, a measure to which the English Legislature has had so fre quently recourse ; would they then forget that a great number of the statutes of the Kings of England com mands the burning of goods, the produce of foreign industry, and above all, that of France ? We would seek in vain, among other nations, a system of prohibition, which has placed more shac kles than that of England upon the introd2ction of industry from the Continent. All the English writers agree in saying, with Gee, one of their authors, that there is no commerce which it is proper to repress with more care than that of France, which produces all the necessaries of life, and wants even very few of those which convenience or luxury demand, with the exception of some materials . for her manufactures, such as drugs for dyeing. It is to this sentiment that is owing this system of prohibition by which the English have nearly arrived at excluding from their markets our merchandize ; a system which was modified a little by the treaty in 1786, but in consideration of advantages and conces sions out of all proportion which we made to England. It would be too long to cite all the statutes which ° since the 3d year of the reign of Edward IV. down to the present time, have established violent measures against FrenCh products and industry, particularly with regard to cloths, woollen-caps, lace, ribbons, fringe of silk or thread, gold and silver lace, linen, cambric, &c. These statutes do not confine themselves to inflict pecuniary penalties, and ordering the confiscation of the merchandize ; they attach the crime of felony and transportation for seven years against them. A statute of the 19th of Geo. 11. (chap. 24.) is still more rigorous. It declares felony every act of pro hibited importation, whether open or clandestine ; it obliges a person accnsed of fraud to appear,under pain of death, at the time specified in the proclamation. — We shall see that it is a measure of rigour, for which the English have furnished examples in matters of taxation and prohibitions. Since 1463, the system adopted by Great Britain against the commerce of France has been followed by all the Princes who have reigned in England, and progressively augmented Acts of Parliament decree ' the absolute exclusion of French goods, such as that in 1677, on account of the annual loss which resulted to England through her commerce with France. If England had sometimes relaxed from these pro hibitory dispositions, she then loaded the French ma. nufactures, the introduction of which were lawful, with such excessive duties as nearly amounted to an absolute prohibition. According to Smith, the lowest duty to which the greater part of the manufactures or products of France might be valued at is £75 per cent. whilst the goods of other nations were subjected to lighter duties, which rarely exceeded five per cent. It was to ndurish that opposition to French industry, that in 1749 was established in London, the Anti-Gal lican Society, which proposed to prevent in England the sale of French goods. It was honourable to our national character that it had no imitators in France. In truth, the spirit which formed this institution in England has not remained without alteration. The Government has had recourse to domiciliary visits, and custom-house officers throughout the three king doms are authorised to enter houses to search for pro hibited goods, from the top to the bottom ; they can even stop passengers in the streets and upon the roads, when they are known as carriersof suspected goods. What can be added to these statutes, to this ever lasting war of the English customs against French industry ? Nothing, but giving orders to burn such of our merchandize as they seize, after having sur mounted so many obstacles, This measure has been prescribed by a great number of rules, among which we will cite : I. The statute of the 15th of George 11. which or ders the confiscation and burning of gold and silver wire, gilt copper and silver, gold and silver fringe, coming from the Continent. 2. The statute of the 22d year of the same reign (chap. 56. sect. 2.) renews the dispositions of the for. mer statute, and orders the confiscation and burning of embroidered stuffs, stuffs with gold and silver flowers, or any other manufacture containing gold or silver, either in wire or in plates, coming from the Continent. The statute of the 3d year of Getirge 111. modifies that of the 19th year of kleary VII. which prohibits ]S7 and ._ eq.]; merchandite ; the said articles shall be publicly beret and entirely de. strerds That of the 94th of the same 'reign, which orders the burning of tobacco, &c. How Is it possible ato such examples, drawn from their own legislation, that the English should be sisrpiiied to see the Continent at length adopt that prohibitory system to which they owe their own riches, and Fiance employ to exclude English mirchandize from het markets the meatts of which the English have so frequently made use—the absolute prohibition of the produce of their menthes titres, and the burning of those which had been fraud dulently introduced FROM TR* SUPFLIMINT TO TUE ASEILLII DC ROO% OF DECINII3IIR 4,1810 e DECLARA tiON. Sweden, in breaking its alliance with England, and adopting its former political relations as much through, inclination as recollection of events, has learned to, understand by her own experience the results of till, exclusive system which she has pitherto piireued. The calamities which she has suffered, the multi. • plied losses which she has experienced, were t: :c in-- vitable consequences of an impolitic and w in which she was engaged. Her interr.. and wants point out the course she ought in future t., adopt. Sweden, desiring nothing but the establishing in peace the forces that she still possesses, ma) hope to . preserve a good understanding with every power, without being forced to make such a war, which the, recent lOss of a third part of her territories would ran der still more bitter. The treaties of peace concluded with Prance, Ras• sia, and Denmark, who have adhered to the Conti. nental system, had, it is true, placed Sweden on equal terms with those powers ; but these treaties did not insist on her entirely abandoning that system of neu. trality which she desired to maintain. Nevertheless, Sweden has found herself from that period always the mark for calumny, which has per• . haps excited envy and hatred against het. She has been accused of not having punctually fulfilled the engagements which good faith, as well as the high. character of the King, demanded. All the abusers which took place in the Baltic, to the advantage of English commerce, were imputed to her ; and it was pretended, Sweden, by these circumstances, had thrown many obstacles in the way of the conclusion of a general peace. His Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy has considered it his duty to make, some °ls& servations to the King, to do away his doubts which remained for resolving upon the true relation which ought to subsist between Sweden and Great Britain. The King, who, under these circumstances, hai before his eyes but the sehtiments of consideration an 4 attachment which he has vowed to his Imperial Ma. jesty, and who even acknowledges that some actions relative to commercial engagements may have given reason for well-founded complaints, convinced that it is his duty to declare, that the accumulated aectisas Lions against Sweden arc false, has resolved to give new guarantees of his intentions, and of the funds ' mental principles upon which he will act for the fin. cure. His Majesty has in consequence declared war against England, and has ordered an immediate sea questration to be laid on all English ships, which, contrary to appearances, may be found in the ports of Sweden, in order to do away every accusation of having a secret understanding with England. or in. fidelity in not observing . the importation of colonial products upon the Continent. He has renewed hik severe decrees, formerly issued against introducing into Sweden goods of English manufacture, as well as colonial products, of whatever kind it may be, without regard to the flag which may convey it, and to declare that he will not permit, under any pretext, the exportation of colonial merchandise, or those of English manufacture, to the Continent. His Majesty will give the necessary orders for maW. Mg the strictest inquiries respecting colonial productt, or goods of English manufacture, which have been imported into Sweden, no matter under what fiat, since the 24th of April last, and that according to la* they shell be placed at the disposition of the King. ' The King, in making these sacrificea, of et. perience will manifest the importance, has always prq. posed not only to express by it the attachment which he has promised to the person of his Majesty the Erna , peror of the trench, but also to satisfy the desire which he has to contribute to the success of the Continental system, which has latterly had for its object a mari time peace. His Majesty, ht uniting his efforts to the other Powers of the Continent, to accelerate this epoch, so interesting to humanity, will justify to his subjects the causes of the considerable losses which circumstances have made them suffer, and prove to all Europe that the establishing of peace upon the sea, and restoring commerce to its natural independence, has never de pended on him. In consequence of this, the formal declaration of war against England shall be published in our periodical papers, and the most strict measures adopted to sieze and confiscate colonial products, or goods of English manufacture. Wednesday the 19t n instant, an inquest was held by • • JAugs Gamic), Esq. Coroner, on the body of. Thomas Bailey, as aged convict, at Langstone Harbour. This is the only death that has occurred on board the PORTLAND, Convict ship, for the last foutteen months, which is the more remarkable when we consider the description of men confined on boaid the hulks, aged from 14 to 80 $ and of depraved and vicious ha. bits, with broken constitutions before they are seta on board. Indeed the difference that has been of late in the health of the convicts, 'compared with whit it was a few years ago, is surprising.
