crises, it ouvluty to the public to mention the cir-
cumstance. The paragraph had scarcely met the
Public rye when we were requested to insert a sort
of mider-statement, with which request we readily
complied, in the very terms prescribed—adding,
however, in siipport of our original statement,
that we lied made inquiry at the office of the
Atabasseilor from the Netherlands, cud had found
our statement correct, in evidence of which we
copied the notice posted in that Office. for the nos
formation of all Impious applying for such pass-
port+. The follo4ng is a copy of this notice,
which we have already published :
I' NOTICE. •
" No Passports to travel through the kingdom of the
Netherlands will henceforth be Riven at this °like, except
to Netherland subjects; but the Pompons which indivi-
duals have obtained front their own Government, and from
the Ambassadors, Ministers. and Comments of their respective
countries, resident in Great Britain, will (on being left for
that purpose) receive the N. of the Netherland Embassy,
to enable the 'bearer thereof to p to, or pus through, the
Netherlands."
From this notice, it is certain that any British
subject going from this country to the Netherlands,
must have a passport from Lord CAlltl.BllllAGEell
Office, price 21. 7a. gd. and that his rim is all
that remains to the Netherlands Ambassador. It
follows also, that if the principle be right as to the
Netherlands, it is also tight as against France. It
follows also, that there should he no distinction of
persons, and that all British subjects, milers persons
privileged by their connexion with Government,
should be treated alike. Upon this groom!. and Wes
sinning upon a fair impartial treatment'of all loyal
British subjects 'going to the Continent, we did
infer that this tax of 21. 7s. 641. a •lieed upon
emigration, must produce a very large annual aunt,
a sum much too large to be treated lightly. and
set down among the perquisites of office.--Judg-
ing from t!..e conduct of the Treasury Journals,
we upprehend that in making this discovery we have
touched upon a very sore point. " A gross misre-
presentation" is the epithet which a miserable slip-
slop contemporary applies to our statement.
By low vulgar laiiguege of this sort it may hope to
show its zeal ifs the service of its em!floyers; but
impudent assertion, however often repeated, will
not avail as argument or in elucidation of truth.
We stand upon the simple fact, that the Ambassador
from the Netherlands does not grant passports to
his country gratuitously as heretofore, end that the
party proceeding to that country must he provided
with Lord CASTLF.IIEAOII.I permit, price W. 7s. 6d.
The Treasury Journals themselves, while they
presume to question the accuracy of our statement,
are betrayed by their jots mperance into s most sin-
gular inconsistency, and assert that these precious
passports are only granted to favourites properly re-
commended, sod producing satisfactory testimonials
of their merits. The Treasury Journals will, how.
ever, God it very difficult to persuade the public that
any person would go to all this expense and trouble
to obtain a passport to the Netherlands, from the
office of Lord CASTLFRE*OII, if he could procure
that accommodation without expense or trouble at
the office of the Ambassador from the Netherlands,
in Blickingham.street.
