ANOTHER VEXATIOUS DECREE.

Yesterday arrived the brig INN, Captain
PouSland, from ronaingen, which place
she LETT the 2Sth Decembe she brings no
papers or verbal intelligence whatever, ex
cept that the Danish government had issued
Decree for the seizure of all property i'm
ported for the last six months. The object
OF the Decree (says letter which we have
seen els with view, that strict exam
ination may take place as to its origin and
neutrality" The same letter further adds,
" the prevailing opinion is, that the proper
"ty which is neutral. will remain secure,
"these measures being only against property
(which has been Struggled liz from England.
"Let the event be what it will, I teet very
''uneasy at our present situation " The let
ter from which these extracts are taken, is
dated the OH OF December, and no restora-
ration had taken place when Captain pous
land sailed.
There is no doubt but a very considerable
amount ofproperty has been carried to Ton
ningen and two other Danish ports from En-
gland direct, and that with the knowledge
and connivance of the Danish, or rather Of
Bonaparte's government, whose officers had
good understanding with the importers !;
as Sheridan says in his School for Scandal
these fellows have not honesty enough to
be faithful to their own vDlainies."
Il NC WHICH Tue merchants OF our
country will sustain by this Inquitous decree,
will be great. There are two objects which
the decree processes to have in view the
origin and the neutrality. The neutrality
is perhaps easier to prove than he origin,
except as to American produce, but it is E.
vident, that other nroo/S than those carried
with the property will be required from this
country. This will Consume much time, &c.
