ceipt OF your letter of the 9TH inst. request
ing further explanation of my letter of the
"a, concerning the blockades of France in
stituted by Great Britain during the nre-

1907. ''
The blockade notified by G. Britain in Nav
1905, has never been formally withdrawn
IL cannot therefore be accurately stated. thar
the restrictions, which it established. rest
altogether OH the order of council of the 9TH
ct January. 1907 they are comprehended
under the more extensive restric ions of tba,
order. No other blockade Of. the ports Of
France. was instituted by G.. Britain between
the 10Th of May, 1906, and the 7th Of lam
airy, 1907, excepting the blockade of Venice
instituted on the 27 OF July, 1906, which
is still in force.

Mr. LORD,
! have had the honor to receive
your Lordship's answer, of the Cd inst. to
my letter OF the 18th of last month, con
corning the bockades of France instituted
by Great Britain during the present war
before the first day of January. 1907.
infer from that answer that the block ade
notified by G Britain in May, 1906. from
the Elbe to Brcst, is not itself in force, and
that the restrictions which it established,
rest altogether so far as such restrictions
exist at this time. upon an Order or Orders
IN council issued since the first day of Janu-
airy 1907.
infer also either that no other blockade
VI france was instituted by Great Britain
daring the period above mentioned, or that
IT any other was instituted during that peri.
cd. 1t is not now in force
May beg your Lordship to do me the
honor to inform me whether these differences
are correct. and if incorrect, in what respects
they are SO?
have the honor to be,
With the highest consideration,
My lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,

France, a letter from General Armstrong;

in view the instructions contained in your

the present war, before the LIST of January

| It's not improbable that this official en- !.
quiry will produce declaration. in answer
/; to it, that none of those blockades are in
force; and should presume that such a
declaration will be received in France as
substantially satisfying the condition announ
ced to me by gen. Armstrong.

have been brought before the British go.

have chosen. II would not, think, have

P. S. March 2s, 181o-Since the wri-

me the answer (of the I'd inst.) of which a
copy is now enclosed. 1t was not satsfacto-
ry. and pointed out its deficiencies to lord
Wellesley in conversation and proposed to
him that should write him another letter
requesting explanations. He assented to
this course, and have written him the let
ter of the 9TH inst. of which also a copy is
enclosed. His reply has been promised very
| frequently, but has not yet been received
l have reason to expect that it will be suf-
ficient; but cannot think of OBTAINING the

SIR.
l wrote few lines to you Yesterday an
nouncing the receipt and transmission of "a
copy OF the Duke of Cadore's note to me Of
the 18th inst.
After much serious reflection have tho't
1t best to torbear all notice at present of the
errors. as well off fact as If argument. which
may be found in the introductory part of that
note to take the minister at his word; to
enter at once upon the proposed negociati
on, and. for this purpose, to offer to him a
project for renewing the convention of 1900
This mode will have the advantage of try
ing the sincerity Of the over,ures made by
him. aud perhaps of drawing from him the
precise terms on which his master will ac-
com modate. Ifthese he such as VIC ought to
accept, we shall have Treaty. in which

BY the Plato, arrived at Salem, from
Tonningen, some late information has
been received. The Danish government,
it appears, had been compelled by nod
from Napoleon, to shut the ports of Ton
ming and Husum against American vessels.
The abuse of the American flag between
the island of Heligoland and Topning and
Husum, is given II. the decree as the reason
for this procedure. We some days since
heard reports of British vessels laden with
colonial produce having used forged papers
under the American flag in those seas and
the last London papers stated that not less
than FIVE millions sterling, in British pro.
duce and manufactures, were supposed to
be. at Heligoland, intended for the CONT
nent. This new Danish decree is rather
more friendly than otherwise to American
commerce nasmuch as it gives our vessels
zoarning- practice not always adopted by
,Bonaparte and his vassal states.
Late representations of American proper
ty in some ports of Swedish Pomerania and
Norway are also announced.
The following is the information
received by the Plato:
FROM FoNNINGEN.
A letter from consul Forbes, received
here, dated at Toaningen, 10th June, 1910,
