Ittirticulars of the extreme oppression under which the

tion from any of the Multiplied forms in which the de-

is sufficient to ensure, not only the confiscation of all
property concerned, but the personal ruin of the in-
dividual. A vessel which sailed and returned to one
of the ports, under a regular French licence, was last
week put under sequestration, together with her cargo,
