sions of the convention between Eng
land and Russia entered into on the
17th of June 1901, wherein the provi.
sion of the convention of the 21st of
February, 1897, relative to blockades,
Is not only formally renewed between
those two powers but it is also provi.
ded "that the ships ofthe neutral pow.
er shall navigate freely to the ports &

And it will be very difficult, indeed,
for the British government TO advance
solitary argument in favor of its pre-
sent antisneutral system.
The provisions contained in the Rus
sian treaty ought to have the most
weight, from tho circumstance of their
having grown out of an actual contest
between G. Britain and confederacy
formed between Russia, Sweden, Den
mark, and Prussia, for the vindication
of neutral rights. On that occasion
the emperor OF Russia laid an embar-
go on all the English shipping in his
ports, and marched the masters and

been the effect of the political strug-

conventional acknowledgement of
the established law of neutrality on the

playing her old game, and must again
be brought to her senses.
In case, therefore, England should
continue her blockading system by or

We, are authorised to repeat what we
have stated in several OF our former aar..
bern, that no French CONSUL does or can
l'deliver certificate of origin OF colonial
commodities SO that every certificate pre-
sented as such is false and fabricated. A
vessel, pretending to come from N. York,
has just arrived at Petersburg with false
certificate; she has been contiscated.

By the arrival at New ork Of the ship O.

Luna from Tonningen, we have received
some very important particulars. II is stated
by both these arrivals. that Americap proper

The British have given another proof of
their friendship for the United States, in what
is termed the Bioekade Of Ssyeden but which
will probably terminate in the blockade OF ey-
ry por, in the Balti,k. Admiral Sumarez,
was already before GCr,enburg, with the Vic.
tory and Mars; and had DECLARED that his
blocka ing orders extended TO ALL VESSELS
that should arrive without British 6eences !
OF Course, the American commerce in thst
seals completely annihilated. "A number OF
British vessels. with American colours and
