g Since our last OF the Goth October, we
have waited with much anxiety for the Ger
tifcate we requested OF you, in order to save
your properly if possible. fron coifscation
We arc sorry to say, that iniquty has
prevailed for without producing any pro3f
and disregarding ali remonstrances, here,
as well as i'll Paris, the French CoIEmisSaries
have thought proper 20 conhscate your goods
Such treatment amongst civilized people is
without example; but it is not the only in
stance of injustice of which the French have
been guilty, and which calls for Vengeance
These Just considerations are carried tosuch
shameful extent, tnat the chief French
ccmrnissaIy for lGng time hesitated, whe-
Their he would furnish us with the act Of cor
domination of your properly. Happily for US,
however, after all hopes of saving those
goods had vanished, we with much trouble,
prevailed on that man, to order a formal
ret Of condemnatio,, to be made ont, which
enables us to furnish you the regular and of
fetal evidence Of the fact However, not
being allowed a Duplicate Of the said act of
condemnation, we have thought best to have
the same recorded in the American Consul's
Office, a certified copy Of which you wiz
find annexed to this.
There is 10 other method Of recovering a.
ny thing, than by means of the said copy Of
condemnation, and to apply to the French
government direct through your Ambassador
at Paris. The success is however very
doubtful; at least as long as your government
does not come into the views Of the French
Emperor with respect to%reat- Britain.
IaClosed YOU will hpd account of charges
ON yolr goods, amounting 70 Flo. 804, Is. 1t
is extremely hard that besides the loss OF
our propc' ", you should be subjected to this
extra charge The cost of the condemnati-
on act, we have charged you with on the
postage account.

The Secretary Of State arrived on Satur-

1t may notbe useless to state, as evincive
OF the high improbability of some recent ar
ticles in the federal prints, representing Mr..
Armstrong to have been treated in a contu-
mclious manner by Napoleon, that that gen
icman has heretofore been invariably II Gated
with respect. Indeed those acquainted with
his Character know that he would not brool,
any. other treatment.
The delay of the Usage in France still re-
mains unaccounted for. The instructions g;
