tored the trade of neutral nations to the condl-
ton in which it stood previously to the pro-
mitigation Of those DEGREES -Eyen admitting
that France has suspended the operation OF
hose DEGREES, or has repealed them with re-
ference to the United States, it is evident
that she has not relinquished the conditions
expressly declared in the letter of the French
minister, under date the 5th of August. 1870
France therefore requires that Great Britain
shall not only repeal the Orders OF Council,
but renounce those principles or blockade
which are alledged in the same letter to be
new, an allegation which must be understood
to refer to the Introductory part of the Berlin
Decree. If Great Britain shall not submit to
these terms, it is plainly intimated in the same
letter that France requires America to enforce
them.
To these conditions His Royal Highness on
behalfl of his Majesty, cannot accede.-No
principles of blockade have been promulgated
or acted upon BY Great Britain previously to
the Berlin Decree, which are not strictly con-
formable to the rights of civilized war, and
to the approved usages and law of nations
The biockaoles established by the Orders of
Council rest on separate grounds, and are,

The conditions exacted by France would
require Great-Britain to surrender to the en-
envy the most important maritime rights and
interests of the United Kingdom.
am commanded to inform you that His
Royal Highness cannot consent to blend the
question which has arisen upon the Orders of
Council with any discussion of the general
principles of blockade.
This declaration does not preclude any a.
micable discussion upon the subject OF any
particular blockade, of which the circumstan-
ces may appear to the government of the U.
States to be exceptionable, or to require ex-
PLANTATION.

Mr.. Pinkney to the Secretary OF State.
London, February l6, 1911.
SIR,
received at very late hour last night two
notes from Lord Wellesley, Gearing date
/" February 18th, lsll'') of which copies,
marked No. /, and No. 9, are enclosed
Taken together Gas of course they must beg
they announce the appointment of Mr.. Foster
as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary to the United States, and set forth the
reasons why an appointment has been SO long
delayed.
You will perceive, in the second and third
paragraphs of the unofficial paper, distinct
disayowal of the offensive views which the ap-
pointment of mere Charge d'.46ares, and
other circumstances, appeared originally to in
dictate.
We are now told, in writing, that the delay
in appointing Minister Plenipotentiary was
occasioned IN the first instance, not by any
such considerations as have been supposed,
but /" by an earnest desire of rendering the
appointment satisfactory TO the United States,
and conducive to the effectual establishment
of harmony between the two governments -
that more recently " the state of His Males
tvs government rendered It Impossible to
make the intended appointment - and that
Lord Wellesley was therefore " concerned to
find, by my letter of the 18th of January, that
the government of the United States should
be induced to suppose, that any indisposition
could exist on the part of His Majesty's go
vernment, to place the British mission in A
merica on the footing most acceptable to the
United States, as soon as might be practicable
consistently with the convenience of affairs in
this country"
The two papers are evidently calculated to
prevent me from acting upon my late request
of an audience ofleave, and they certainly seem

Quaitawahtai Capt Lcwis) a principle
chief of the Shawanese tribe, passed through
this city yesterday with his wife and three
others of his family on his way to visit the
President of the United States. Capt. L. is
chief of the Mingc-town, on the Great An.
glaze river, and one principle object that he
had in view in the present journey was to e.
nable his family mere completely to under.
stand the habits and domestic economy of the
Whites. He was also in want of some con.
yeniences and supplies for the agricultural
equipment and encouragement of his people.
He has been fully gratifed by certain citizens
to whom he was introduced Captain Lewis
is represented as man of superior mind, and
warmly attached to the people and govern.
ment of the United States. He confirm. the
amicable disposition Of the Indians bordering
on the state Of Ohio and the Indiana territory;
and represents the +" Prophet" (about whom
some folks are making such rout) as nearly
deserted and generally despised being now
followed by not more than 100, men, women
and children and those are mostly weak peo.
pie, duped by said " Prophet" who per-
suades them to believe that he has wonderful
visions, Sc. Captain Lewis says that even
this band have no hostile views towards us.
1t is pleasing to find, by statement of Capt.
Lewis, that the Indians at his village have
been brought to turn their views very gene.
rally to agricultural pursuits, and to abstain
more and more from the use of spirituous Ii.
quors. They have cleared considerable
quantity of land, which they have in !oIerable
cultivation, and possess number Of domestic

A Horlid Murder was committed on the
body of Mr.. Jordan Marchaht, respectable
citizen of Norfolk Borough and Justice Of

evening the 4th inst on his return from the

next day. 1t appears that he had received
several blows, but those most fatal were on
the back of the head and in the f.ce-the sill

out, but bis pocket book with some notes re-
manned, which was probably owing to hurry,

crossed the bridge. -Four persons have been
taken up on suspicion, and committed to the
County Jail-but it is understood that the
circumstances oftheir guilt are rot very strong
and it is to be feared that the perpetrators Of
