Declaration Of the King.
STATE PAPER.

Westminster, SEPT. IS, 1907.
His majesty owes to himself, and to Eu-
rope, frank exposition of the motives which.
have dictated the late measures in the Baltic.
His majesty Gas delayed this exposition
only in the hope of that more amicaLIe ar
rangement with the court of Denmark which
il was his majesty's first wish and endeavor
to obtai1--for which he was ready to make
great efforts and great sacrifices and ofwhich
he never lost sight, even in the moment of
the most decisive hostility.
Deeply as the disappointn ent of this hope
has been felt by his majesty, he has the con-
ISOLATION of reflection that no eXcrton was left
untried on his part 10 produce different re-
suit. And while he laments the cruelneccs
sity which has obliged him to have recourse
to acts of hostility agsinsta nation with which
it was his majestys most earnest desire to
have established the relations of common in
terest a. d alliance; his majesty feels coma
dent that in the eyes of Europe and of the
world, the justification of his conduct will be
found in the commanding and indispensable
duty, paramount to all others, amongst the
obligations Of sovereign, providing, while
there was yet time, for the immediate secu-
rity of his people.
His majesty had received the most pc.
sitjve information of ,he determination OF
tho presen. roller of France TO occupy wits
military force the territory of 1iolstein-
tor the purpose Of excluding Great Britain
from all her accustomed chaanels OF com.
muoicalion with the continent OF induc.
ing or compelling the court of Denmark
10 close the Passage of the Sound agan':
the British commerce and navigation, aai
of availlng irlmseif Of the aid of the Danish
Marine tor the Invasion Of Great brissfa
and Of ireland.

In the narrative which we published the
oath Of last month, it might be inferred that
the snen taken from the Chesapeake had de-
serted from the Halifax the fact is, they had
left the Melampus; bit admiral Berkley's in
stractions contained list of eight men, which
the commander ofthe Leopard was ordered to
search for and take, if found on board four
had belonged to the Melampus, the other four
to the Halifax. We state from good authori-
ty, that capt. HUMPHREYS was ordered to offer
permission to commodore Barron to search
the Leopard for American seamen, and that
he communicated these orders to commodore
Barren. Such ain offer might have the an
fedrance of reciprocity, but nothing more -
The commander Of the Leopard, knowing
that he was to make this offer, could very ea-
silly hare removed any Americans that might
have been on board to any of the other ships.
An offer to permit a search Of all the ships,
would have produced substantial benefit, bat
allthisis mere triaing--no national ship ought
to be searched, and although We have ever adj
pocated, and still do advocate the creation of
navy, we would rather see the few ships
that remain destroyed, than to surrender 4

the Governor Genera, in council has flued an
order, granting permifIion of neutral veil:ls,
particularly American, to import grain, under

was occaioned by fcarcity of grain, in confe-

The war between the Ruifiaus and Turks,
and between the latter and feveral bodies of In
furgents, appeared very much to intereft the
French, and the Paris papers were replete with
article on the fuhjcet 1t appeared, that the
RufiiaDs, in order to ftrengthen their Grand
Army, had neglected that of AiebeJen, which
had advanced in Turkey as far as the Danube,
and had Unveiled L6naii, near the mouth of that
river. In the meantime, the Ottoman Empire
aifumed great activity. Watt numbers of troops
were levied, and led againlt the Runans by
French offcers.-The army of the Grand Filler
was put in motion; and on the 3oth HpriI, was
advancing from Anarinopke for the Daxabe.
Other corps advanced upon Miebeljon, who, it

the Turks, excepting in one intance, had been
fucoeisfuI againlt the Serviany, Montenegrius,
&c. in different parts of the empire. In one
battle (of Mia, fought AprH 22) the Servian

800 priioners & the Turkifh lofs at c4so killed.
so6s wounded & lso prifoners. 1t was likewife
ttated, that the infurgeHt Cserni- Georsey had
been defeated by the Turks, with the lofs of
5000 and that to afIift the Turks Gen. Mar.
MONT, from Daimata, with 10000, and
Gen. LAUNAIs, from Ragnta, were on the
match. Add to this, it is faid, the Turkiih
feet had gained Victory over the Ruflian faua.

to be in arms aganf the Ruflians, ftimulated by
