1t appears now BY pretty conclusive evil
dence, that the late confiscaiion of Ameri-
can property, in Europe by order ofhis I'm
perial and Royal Majesty of Corsica, have
gone to enrich his own private purse,
and not for the good of our quondam sister,
the French Republic. His Majesty has
some excuse for levying this tribute upon US,
al the present time. He has lately been
obliged TO incur very considerable expense
Of private nature, in getting rid of an old
wife, and in obtaining new one. Two
such wies are enough to break any man.

Taking into consideration that the govern
mcnt of the IT, States has by an act OF the
ist March 1909, ordered, 1. That from
the Doth, May next ensuing, vessels arm
wing il. the United States, under the French
flag, shall be seized and con6scated, togeth-
er with their cargoes. 2 That from the
same period, no merchandise, nor produc-
ton of the soil or manufactures of France
or her colonies, can be imported into the
ports of the United States from any foreign
port whatsoever, under pain OF seizure, con-
fscation and penalty of three times the val
ne of the GOODS. That it shall not be
lawful, for any American vessels to proceed
for any ports in France, her colonies or de-
decree as follows
"All vessels sailing under the American
flag, and owned in whole or part, by any
citizen or subject of that power, that, reck-
oning from the twentieth of May 1909, may
have already entered or that shall subse-
quently enter the ports of France, her CO.
lonies, or the territories occupied BY the
French armies shall be seized and sold,
and the produce of the last shall be deposit
ted in the Caisse D. amortization. From
this provision are alone excepted such ves-
sells as may be charged with dispatches,

chandize on board"

:" Napoleon is our King


We are not for one moment duped
into the belief that our Administration
would take strong measures against
France. Certainly there is very little
system In the management ofour gov
eminent, but so far as the Executive
has any system, it is evidently a part
of u to submit to whatever " our
King" shall do or dictate. All the
fiippancy and fummery arising out of
Mr.. Secretary Smiths letter to Mr..
Armstrong, and the consequent cues
ton of the latter to the Duke Of Cajole,
on the subject Of blockades, was merely
meant to prepare the way for an apollo
gy for what it was known would be
the conduct Of France. The old nom
sense of Britain being the FIRST AND
GREAT AGeREssoR although officially
coufuted by even Jefferson's own vol
ume OF documents which contains the
"edicts" of foreign powers, !" violating
the commerce of the United States"
still continues to deceive the people.
1t is known to us that at the commence
ment of theMay session of Congress in
the las. year, the Cabinet had made up
its mind that Bonaparte would inflexi-
bly, perseyere in his base and barbarous
system. 1t is of course now evident
that our Executive had even thea de-
termined to submit to it. Government

mas been acted on erer since, though it was

the beginning Of Nav. How il found It's
way TO this country, we are not informed,
but We suspect some foul play IN the bust
ness. We are apt TO think our government
received a copy ofthe decree BY the John

at that time. for fear the indignation OF the
people AGAINST France would be such that 1t
could no: be restrained. If our government
received a copy of this outrageous or

from many observations in the Aurora, we
think there's very little doubt that Duane
received the substance of the decree, it not
full copy, by the John Adams. But per-
haps with his imperial masters Instructions
not to publish it. for fear it might prevent
the sailing of American property to ports

To state the injustice and inhumanity OF
the decree is useless Nothing better IS TO
