should YOU not expect, that if the orders
~ council were not revoked, the embargo
would not continue in America? certain
~ should draw that Inference, that it would
not continue; viewing the embargo as 4
consequence of the orders in Council, /
should conceive, that directly on the orders
IN council being Withdrawn, the embargo
would be raised.
1t the Americans are prevented from
sending the produce of their own country
to the continent Of Europe, will they no,
DC unable TO pay this country for large
portion of her manufactures They will
certainly he unable the depreciation of
the value of their produce will totally d sa-
bic them from paying their debts to Eng
land
Do not you consider that it is only by en-
aiding them to dispose of that produce that
they are able to pay us for the manufac-
lures which are shipped to them! Ger"
tainiy, conceive that the remittances from
America ~ native produce are about two-
hfshs, and that three-ffths are paid by re-
m'ttances ofnative produce TO the continent
of Europe.
MARCH 22-IicranHcr Glennie.
In what way have YOU ever heard, since
the Berlin decree, OF American vessels be-
ing detained and carried into French, Span
ish, or Dutch ports We have frequently
had advice OF American vessels being de"
tanned in the Dutch ports, vessels with
which we had no concern.
Did you not hear that all those ships
were afterwards rele Ised ?-Yes; do not
recollect to hear of any being condemn d
ether in the French ~ Dutch ports
Have you heard also OF several Ameri-
cans proceeding from this country to those
ports having been detained and afterwards
released! l have heard of many vessels
IN were understood to have gone direct
from ports in Great Britain being under
detention: and being afterwards released
Ju' i cannot say | have heard positive that
the whole have been released.
Do you recollect to have heard of any
not being released, but being condemned
No, have mt.
In the whole extent of your correspon-
dence! am positive we never had any
advice of any ship being condemned.
whether ships ~ which you were con-
cerned, or otherwise? / mean it to apply
90 any real American, any which should
describe as a bona fde American ship, be-
ing condemned in AN enemv's port, until
within this last fortnight or three weeks
Do you recollect at what rate assurances
were Effected on risks from Yarmouth to
lonnngcn, IN the month of February, 1907 (?
At three guineas per cent. Including Il
risks.
This you consider o winter premium 7
Ii is premium adequate to that seas n of
the year; the risk To TonDingen is consl-
dered as double what it is in peaceable
times.
From London to Antwerp? have no
instances OF our house doing any risk from
London to Antwerp in that moath; in
March we did risk from London at six
guineas per cent. TO return two if the YES.
sci discharged at Tonningen.
From Baltimore to Amsterdam in the
month of Angus, 1907 In August, 1907,
we did risk from Baltimore to Amster-
dam against all legal risks at four guineas
per cent.
In the month of November, from. Bati-
more to Amsterdam In November, 1907,
we did two vessels from Baltimore to Am
sheridan at ten guineas per cent. and ON
referring to this, / find memorandum
made on our letter of order, tina this would
have been at per cent. If warranted from
| British capture. One of those vessels was
afterwards warned into Great Britain, and
we got a return Of 6 per cent. from the un-
derwriiers from her discharging in Great
Britain.
From Baltimore to Triest? Tn Deem
Der, 1907, we paid fifteen guineaspe cent.
and find also, on referring to our memo
r an daui at that time, II was stated, if free
from Prtish capture, it could have been
done at per cent.
