BAYoNNE, July Is. 1903.
SIR,
Mr.. Young lieutenant in the second regi-
ment of Polish infantry, in returning to Gal
lacia upon family affairs, was arrested there,
although he was furnished with the requisite
passports. Marshal Dayouss thrice reclaim.
ed him of lint de Niepperg, the col. COM
mandNg on the frontiers of Austrian Calf
cia, but without effect, reminding him that
Ny oungs passports were such as requir-
ed count de Niepperg from the military
gol into Gallicia, inspiring with hope that
those who conformcd to his acquisitions,
would be permitted TO pass unmolested. Mr..
Young's papers have been seized and him
self remains under arrest. | am ordered to
demand ofyou his Liberation.
1t is difficult to make this demand with
out some degree of complaint, or at least
expressions ofregret at the course of con-
duct proposed to be pursued by the Austri-
an government In relation to the Duchy Of
Warsaw. Communication becomes more
and more difficult. Already they permit to
pass with the greatest difficulty, provisions
destined tor the grand Duchy. The most
excessive rigor is observed towards the
French and the countries in their possession.
his conduct has not been pursued towards
other foreigners. Whilst Oh the part of
France, every measure has been taken, not
only for the safety of the different provinces
OF Austria, but likewise tor the tranquility
OF the interior. The Austrian government
ought not to have the least disquiet about
the one or the other.
Could these unfavorable dispositions O.

Trieste OF the three American vessels with
cargoes SO evidently from Malta and Eng
land, that no one in that CRY doubted the
fact What could we think Of the cry of
war which rung from Vienna through all

know, and your government has proclaimed
IT, there exists profound peace that
France particularly, in perfect harmony
r. T.. e,
makes no Pretensions to any thing belong
ing TO 1t and has no view whatever which
can give 1t The slightest uneasiness.
1t is impossible almost for me to express
to you my surprise. Although this is not
the general object OF my note which relates
to single fact. Can there exist, land we
cannot doubt IT, such general spirit ofna-
levolence? 1t cannot but be thought, that
this disposition is the hckleuess Of the con-
duct Of some overseers ofyour government
who think to serve or please it, by spread
ing intentions which we do not wish to be-
lieve it to possess.
