ISanslatio" ct note from Count Rosenkrauz to
mr. frVtne, dated 2Sth June, 1911.
The undersigned minister of state Chief of the De-
parthent OF Foreign Affairs, has laid before tile
hnS, his master, the notes which Mr. Ervipe spe-
ciai minister fOm the U. S. of America addressed To
him, on the 9TH current. He is charged TO assured
TINS minister, that his majesty has with great
satisfaction, that the President OF the U. States
recognizes the reciprocal utility os tie relations
which unite the two governments
The hing having always had it at heart TO ma;n-
tam a good understanding with the american Go
vernment, would be much panied, il he could be con-
Wnced that the subjects OF the L. s. who have car
ried on commerce and navigation, either in ports
oil ms majesty, Or III the waters which wash the
shores of his states, and in The adjoining ATTITUDES
nave hadust cause to complain olthe treatment which
they nave met with there consequence of the -i-
watering which his majesty has been forced TO au-
thorise by the war into which the Danish nation have
been drawn by the government of Great Britain
Ills majesty is persuaded that the vessels captured
unter the lag OF the U. States, have not been
brought into has ports unless there was reason to sup
pose that the vessel was not duly authorised to carry
hat nag, or that she was engaged in Illicit trade
me Ordinance, as TO privateeiing which, was PUBLISH
ed on the 2St of March, OF the last year, prescribed
10 those hitting out prvateer, the conduct they were
to pursue and it also fixed the responsibility to which
they were subjected. The High Court of Admiralty
watches over the execution Of this Ordinance, which
has met the appreciation of all the governments oC
Europe.
Ii there had been many vessels under the Amer-
can nag brought IN, 1t is because there have been
great number OF them furnished with false papers,
that evidently carried on a simulated and Justly pro-
hbited commerce IL was naturally very difficult for
the courts TO distinguish ut FIRST the navigation which
was tar, and IN rule Ten repIe from that which was
devoted TO the service of the enemy of Dcnmark-
The conduct OF the navigators who followed the lat
ter, compromised those who had nothing to reproach
themselves with but in every where the High
Court OF Admiralty discovered that the papers on
board proved that the vessel was really American
and that the Captain had not made an improper use
OF thern to cover the property OF the enemy, passing
IL OH as american, the vessels and caroes have been
released. There one cause OF seizure and of
process against American vessels, Which, i'm certain
degree, applied to those that produced false Dapers
OF 10 those IN whose docnnents there rreelIa-
rties This was the Certificates of Origin granted TO
american vessels by the French cOnsuls, residing in
the ports Of the u. s. The French government
caused to be officially declared to the Court of Co.
pcnhagen on the ed of September, that the consis
OF France would not grant any more certificates OF
oIgIn, ana that every American vessel that had them
on boaTd-had so fur false papers, aud was to he
treated accordingly Taking Into view the strict and
happy union which subssted between the king ard
ms n'aJes,y the Emperor OF the Frcnch--ls ma
ity coiid not but ply attention 20 this communica
ton lie, therefore, ordered TINT the certificates of
origin, which had been thus declared TO he all false
should be considerably the PrZe-C as false do
rhments which would authorize the condemnation oF
thc Nessel that had them on board The undersjpn-
ca having been afterwards informed hv the ClIa,,,
dcs Mares Of his majesty in the u. States and more
recently by Mr.. FRYING, that the consus of France
" the " states had not received the order of their
government to abstain from granting these ccrt6-
Gates until the 18th Novcmlcr of lsst year, by the
H9rn1 and that they had no, ceased granting them
until after that pernland having reported this to
his majesty he Immediately directed that the cett
hcates IN question should longer be iirous 10 tho
vessels that we're furnished with them provided That
these certificates bore date prior TO the 18th Nov of
last year.
The King has nor confined himself to giving fills
proof oil has attention TO tlc remonstrance made 70

seniatons made by the special minister of the Unit
