Interesting ertraets from another letter,
dated Bordeau 9th .1trii, 1911.
We are without any of your esteemed
favors since our last respects of the s5th
February, when we advised you of the schoo-
ner.s arrival at BayoDne, and informed you
" >'AS b 'SoS 0tunCuAttCS aul numerous Qe
lays which American vessels experienced
in this country We are very sorry to say,
these difficulties sill continue, and since our
last no cargo from the United States has
oeen admitted, except one consisting of SUI
gar and coffee imported under an Imperial
permit.
'.One of our partners is in Paris, using
his best efforts TO obtain the admission Of the
cargoes to our address; but we are assur-
ed that no decision willbe made on any A
merican case, until is ascertained whether
the Non Intercourse act has been strictly
enforced against England We have nd &C
counts from the U. 5. later than the 28th
Jan. and are anxiousiy waiting the nexs adj
vices, on which We conceive the American
cases here will be decided.
On the Oath NJ arch. the Emperor. In
long discourse to the members composing
the council of commerce and manufacturer
declared. that the Berlin and Milan de

ders the flag as an extension Of territory /;

the fate of the American commerce will be
soon decided, that he will favor il If the u
States conform to those DEGREES; in the con-
trary case, their vessels shall be repealed
from the ports OF his Empire
From the whole tenor of this discourse.
which has been communicated to us from
the best authority, we are fully convinced
mat the continental system will be rigor-
ousiy maintained and while that CONT
nues, no American vessel can come 10
France with safety and advantage, unless
protected by an Imperial permit.
1--WE understand, that many persons on
your side of the Atlantic are averse from
using such documents bur without them, 70
reign vessels cannot bring to France any
merchandise, that is not the produce of the
country TO which such vessel belongs. IF A.
merican vessels should be freely admitted
with the produce of the U. D it would not
leave any profit after paying the present e.
nor'nous duties, and we. therefore, see no
chance of profitable voyage being made
from America to France, unless il be by
shipments of best Clay'd and Muscovado
sugars. fine green coffee and long stapled
cotton, under Imperial permission. Sugar
is becoming scarce. and large parcel of
white Havana has, within few days, been
sold at 3o5 francs per cwt
project has been formed to supply
France with this necessary article. by ma :.
king 1T from 6eets-sand the EMPEROR. Con
ceiving 1t to be practicable, has issued de-
cree encouraging the plan, and declaring
the importation of sugar shall be prohibited
on the first of January, 1913. The impor-
tation of Indigo is also to be prohibited at
that period; it being expected that suf :.
HCIent quantity can be made from a plant
aoounding on the southern part of the EN-
pire. lime. will show whether these fine
schemes can be >, realized but until they
are. Colonial produce will probably main.
tam the present prices; as the last of the
French colonies being taken. leaves no
means OF importing such produce. except by
Imperial permits. and we do NOT believe the
supply which will be received in that wav,
can be adequate to the consumption.
Business Continues in great stagnation
and no article, excepting sugar, can at
present be sold at the prices annexed"
