SCOTIA erst in battle proved,
Whose hardy chieftains war beloved,
With mighty arm, from mountain height,
Pour'd down the tempest of the fight,
Till Southern bands in terror fed,
And every foc-man hid his head
A proudcr garland decks thee now,
Than ever graced a warriors brow
Love and beauty, sweetly smiling,
Valiant chief, and cloister'd nun,
Crown the bard whose song beginning,
All the praise of verse hath won.
Scotia well may mists enshroud
Thy mountains in imperyious cloud,
~ Genius shine on thee SO bright,
And shed on thee his foods of light,
We'll may rough rocks thy cline detace,
Since twining round thy rugged base,
And shooting from their cliffs so high,
Grow all the Aowers of mnstrelsy.
Harp of the North thy strains prolong,
And every note shall echo bear,
Till every valley find a tongue,
And every mountain stoop to hear
10 touched by life inspiring rhyme,
Awake the chiefs of olden time,
Oblivion's massy bars unfold,
And all is new that late was old.
The moulding warrior grasps his glaive,
And lances break, and banners wave
And modern eyes astonlshed see,
The fairy forms Of Chivalry.
HaiI magick holy power of song,
TO whom all bend the knee; ..
No gate hath earth or heaven so strong,
But it shall ope to thee
List, Virgins, list the song is yours,
Of myrtle wreaths, and shady bowers,
OF PASSIONS soul bewllderng trance,
Aud checks that blush, and eyes that glance,
OF bosoms white as trackes snow,
And hearts that bleed, and hearts that glow;
Where like the silk worm in his shell,
Lurks the young god, you love so well.
BE every maid like ELLEN fair,
And every bard like ScoTr sublime
Then every maid shall life immortal share,
And every bard outlive the waste Of time

Excellency did me the>honor to enclose to me
inanote datedthe 4th Of this month, have dis
covered that the'schooner Friendship has been

This vessel, as am informed, arrived at
Bordeaux on the 9th of December last, with
cargo of coffee, which from long dstention,
has suffered considerable damage. AS there
is no circumstance, within my knowledge, to
distinguish the cargo of this vessel from those

her case will be enquired after, and that she
will be placed upon the same footing as the o.

SIR,
| have the honor to present to your excel
lency list of the American vessels, which,
according to the information have obtained,
have been captured by French privateers since
the first of Nov. last and brought into the
ports of France. All proceedings in relation
to these vessels have been suspended In the
Council of Prizes, with the same view, no
doubt as the proceedings in the custom house
had been deferred with regard to those which
had arrived voluntarily. The friendly admis-
sion OF the latter encourages me to hope that
such of the former at least as were bound to
French ports, or to the ports of the allies OF
France, or to the United States, especially
those in ballast, will be Immediately released,
and that orders will be given to bring on the
trials of the re mainder, should such course
be Judged indispensable, without any unne-
ccssary delay.
The measure for which now ask, being in
perfcc: accord with the friendly sentiments
which prevail between the two countries, |
persuade myself will obtain the early assent
of his majesty.
pray your excellency to accept the assu
RANGES of my highest consideration.

cellency, that the American brig, Good Intent
from Marblehead, with cargo of oil, fish, CO.
Goa and slaves, bound to Blboa, was captured
in December last by an armed launch in the
service of the French government and carried
into Santandcr. Mr.. ]. P. Rattieu, the Con-
sui of his Majesty the Emperor at that place,
has taken possession of the cargo and sold
that part which was perishable, retaining in
his hands the proceeds and placing in depot
the articles unsold, until he shall receive the
superior orders of his government.
The present flattering appearance that the
relations between France and the u States
will lie preserved on the most amicable foot
ing, encourages me to hope that the case of
the Good Intent, after the long detention that
has occurred, will attract the early attention
of the French government, and that the pro-
perry will be restored to the American owner.

PARIS, 10th June, 1871.
SIR,
| conceive it to be my duty to represent
to your EXceilcncy, that the condition, at
tached to the admission of American proper
ty III France, to export two thirds the amount
IN silks, is attended with great Inconvenience
and loss to the American merchant.
A general rcquisitlon to expert the neat
proceeds of imported cargoes in the produce
and manufactures of the French empire,
have been so obviously intended to favor its
industry and to prevent any indirect advan-
tage resulting to its enemy by the remittance
of exchange, that the right and policy of the
measure would have been universally ackuow-
lodged. The American merchant, in thi.
case, permitted to select from the various &
abundant productions of the arts and agri-
culture OF France, those articles which the
habits and tastes of the American people de.
mandcd, might freely and advantag eously have
exercised his commercial skill for the adj
vanccment of his interests, and hoped from
the profits on his investments here to obtain
an indemnity for the losses on his outward
voyage.
The condition, however, imposed on him
to receive two thirds of these investments in
a particular article takes from him the "a
Guilty of profting Of his experience and inlor-
nation, either in bargaining for his purchas-
es or in adapting them to the wants of the mar
ket tor which they are intended. The holder
OF this article becomes, by this requisition,
the master not only of the price, but of tho
kind and quality of his merchandise, and his
interest VIII strongly incitc him to abuse the
power which he feels. He knows full well
that the purchaser cannot dispense with the
merchandise, and that SCORER or later, he
must accede to the terms on which it is Of
tered. Should indeed the American mcr-
chant, from his repugnance to invest his
funds in an article forced upon him, loaded
with the arbitrary cxactions Of the seller, re-
iuse Tor while to receive it, yet behoIding
these funds inactive and wasting on his hands,
and his vessel perishing in foreign port,
he must eventually yield to the duress which
he suffers.
Such are some of the evils to which the
condition in question will expose the Amc.
rlcan merchant in this country. In the L. S.
1t Will be by him still more severely felt.
The overstock of the article forced by TIL,
condition on the market there, exceeding the
consumption, must necessarily become drug,
and the American merchant, after having t.
ken 1t here against his will, and paid forit
more than Its ordinary value, will be compel
LED In the United States to keep it on hand,
or to sacrifice it for the most it will bring
Illus alternately obliged to purchase and to
sell under unfavorable circumstances, he will
have to add to the losses the outward yoy-

SIR,
The object of the letter you have done me
the honor to address to me the 9TH of this
month, was to demonstrate against the seques-
trauon of the American ship the Good-In
tent" which had been carried into St, Andero,
by French Vessel.
The Minister of the Marine to whom has
tened to write on this subject, has Just answer
ed me, that the case is carried before the coun-
Gil of prizes, which is alone COZ petent to de-
eide on the validity of the capture. He adds
that it is before that tribunal, that the owners
of the Good-lntent, ought to be prepared to
establish their rights, and that he will have no
other agency, in this affair than to cause to be
executed the decision which shall be made.
