was reviewing some troops in the neigh
borhood OF Holsingborg, when ne sudden
" fell from his horse and expired. lhe
Gottenburg papers attribute It to an Apo
plexy + the reports Of private persons as
sign poison as the cause, and that this was
.ascertained on an examination OF the body
after the decease. Men are apt to suppose
that when princes die suddenly, their deaths
are occasioned by violent means. We find,
however, that the crown prince had been
previously unwell, though the Stockholm
Gazette Of the 25th, four days before his
decease, states that he had recovered from
his indisposition, and was able to continue
his tourney. Had poison been the cause,
his death would have been more lingering.
We should not have found him able TO re.
view his troops and sit-on horseback only
the momen, before he died. His death has
given great confidence 70 the party that es-
nouses the cause Of the son of Gustavus,
and letter from a correspondents mentions
an insurrection to have taken place IN his
favor at Stockholm.
HARWICH, fine Z.
We-have this day had three vessels from
Rotterdam, with passengers; and packet
from Gottenburg with mail and passengers.
By the former we learn that the King OF
Holland and his wife had left that country,
and tnat he had positively ahdicated his
throne. the consequence whereof, 1t is con-.
sidered, will be the immediate annexation
Of Holland to France. The country theie.
fore is represented as being in the greatest
CONSERVATION and tumult; and several of
the most respectable houses are making up
their affairs 10 the country. s@Ihe feelings OF
the Dutch are said to be now worked up to
pitch that they are ripe for revolt (but
fear anv attempt would be but in vain. 1t
IS, however, confidently reported In Hol-
land that hostilities are about to commence
between France and Russia, whose empe-
ror is stated to be in such complete dislike,
/ that it is expected he Will share similar
fate to his predecessor.

Armstrong to Mr. Smith, dated Paris, 9Th
April, 1910, which contains one'bf the ar
ticles Of the treaty between France and
Holland, ratified on the soth March. This
article appears in gen. AS letter, in the
French language, a translation of which
was published in the National Intsligencer

the United States"
Here we fad the very important words,
etabpartriendront, AND SHALL BELONG TO,
wholly omitted in the above translation.
Unjust and fagitious as this article OF the
treaty appears from the government trans
lation, yet it looks infinitely worse when the
translation is faithfully made. Il ought to
have read thus:
Z All the merchandise conveyed into the
ports of Holland on board American ves-
-escls since the first day of January, 1909,
shall be put under sequestratien, and sllaI
bel9ns to France, in order to be disposed OF
aecordingto circumstances and the political
relations with the United States.
I'VE now ask, why has this omission OF a
most important passage in an important
document, been made!
