)" The Emperor left Paris two days ago
for St. Cl nd, whence he goes 10 Cum-
pierne. where he vii. remain till Easter
II e. MT probable that shall have an ans
wer 10 nv propositions all he returns 10
Paris. The day before lie set out, he gave
me ship to carry myself and family % the
United States. The minister rt commend
ed that should not pin myself down TO a
dav as to departure, as Circumstances might
| make it proper foy me 10 stay s1'ewhat larger
than rozu inended-Ths treaty between
France and Holland was ratified the 80 n
March, and will be published this day IN
Holland. I am assured that il contains the
following article
"Toutes les marchandises venues sur les
batimens Americans entries dams les ports
de la Hollande depuis lie Ter anvier, 1909,
seront mis- sous le sequestre ct appartrien-
dront a Ia France pour en- desposer scion
les circumstances ct les relations politiques
avec les Etats Unis*." You will see by The
copy enclosed Of decree of the King OF
Naples, that he has put his gains beyond the
reach of negotiation. The ports OF Prus-
sia are opened to our commerce. Avoid
both Prussia and Denmark till you have
other assurances"
." All the merchandise conveyed into
the Ports of Holland on board American
vessels, since the first day of January, 1909,
shall be put under sequestration, subject to
the disposition of France, according to cir
cumstances, and the political relations with
the United States"
Next follows decree from Joachim Ma
poleon, King Of the two Sicilies, condemn
ing so American ships, to be SC q by his
minister. as he shall judge most condu-
Give to oar (theirI interest" The third ar
ticle provides that +" the proceeds ofthese
sales shall be deposited in particular bank,
TO be hereafter employed as zpe shall Judge con-
venient"]
Two more remonstrances to the Due de
Cadore ensue, the first dated Doth March,
upon the seizure of the ship Hero, which
was bound to Tonningen with Tobacco,
with orders that the nett proceeds should
be placed in the hands of the American
bankers at Amsterdam, to pay the public
Texel in distress, and was captured bya
Dodl oCtohHhhS W TiShCu PrNdtCCi
The second remonstrance is against the
seizures in the ports of Naples, and the dis
tresses to which the captains and crews
have been reduced, by being obliged to
subsist themselves, and being menaced
with further exactions for port charges.
" Thiss" says Mr.. Armstrong, sin the
strong language of one of the sufferers, is
literally to strip them naked, and then to
demand from them the expense of doing
so."1
The National Inte!iigencer closes the a.
boye Correspondence, with the following
remarks
The public have now before them the
dispatches received by the John Adams.
They add little to the information previous
iy received but they place that informa-
tlon in the most unquestionable shape, by
giving it an official stamp.--Some hope
might have been entertained, that our frig-
ate would not have been suffered to depart
with such unwelcome intelligence. But e.
ven that hope is now dlssipated and moth
ing remains but the manifestation of the ma
ked purpose of the French government to
pursue what it considers its line ofinterest,
without regarding our interests or rights.
1t is possible, that previous to the departure
OF General Armstrong, some amicable pro-
positions may be made; but they ought not
10 be expected, much less relied on"
