Yesterday a constable went on board of

Thomas. with warrant from justice of
the peace. demanding one of the sailors, a
black man-Capt Thomas refused to let the
man go, but told the constable if he would
go tothe mayor of the city and ger an or
der in English. that he could understand,
(the JUSTICES warrant being in French) that
he would let him take the sailor. The con-
stable soon returned with a note from the
mayor, saying " it was his opinion that he
had better let the sailor go before the JUS
ice" Capt. T. still refused to let the con-
stable AXE the man, aud told him that he
would go himself and see the mayor The

Sitting orthe toh Dec. 1910.
The sitting was opened a, 3 o'clock 10 the
afternoon /; his serene highness the Prince
Arch Chancellor of the Empire presided.
Their excellencies the Duke de Galore
Minister of foreign relations, the Count
Regnault de Saint lean d'Augely, Minis.
ter Of State, and the Count CafArelli,
Counsellor Of State, were introduced.
His serene highness the Prince Arch
Chancellor, President caused the follow
ing message to be read.
Message from his Imperial and Royal
Majesty.-Senators,
Iorder my Minister of foreign relations
to make you acquainted with the different
circumstance which render necessary the
union Of Holland to the Empire.
The orders published by the British
Council in 1906 aud 1907, have torn in
pieces the public law of Europe. A new
order of things governs the Universe.
New guarantees having become necessary
to me, the annexation of the mouths of the
Scheldt, of the Meuse, Of the Rhine, of
the Ems, of the Weser and of the Elbe
to the Empire, the establishment of an in
ternal navigation with the Baltic, have ap-
peared to me to be the first and most i'm
portant.
Ihave caused to be drawn up the plan of
a Canal which shall be executed within FIVE
years, and which shall join the Baltic to
the Seine.
Indemnities shall be given TO the Prin.
ces who may be affected by this grand mea.
sure, which necessity e%njoins, and which
strengthens the frontiers of my Empire up,
on the Baltic on the right.
Before taking these determinations, l in
timated them to England she knew that

collection Of the revenue, and promote the
public welfare. In complying with this re-
quest, it is expected that you will furnish

upon which your opinion has been formed /;
together with such other information upon
this subject as may be in your possession.

Your most obt. x very hum. servt.

other notifications which may be thought
expedient, may be introduced. without TO-
terrupting the operations OF the institution
DOW ia force, and without disturbing all
the commercial concerns of the country.
Ifindsed the bank of the United States
could be removed without afecting either
its numerous debtors, the other monied
institutions, or the circulation of the coun-
try, the ordinary fiscal Operations of govern
ment would not be materially deranged,
and might be carried on BY means OF ano-
Their general bank, or of state banks. Bot
the transition will be attended with much
individual and probably with no inconside-
rable public injury. 1t is impossible that
an institution which circulates thirteen
millions of dollars, and to whom the mer.
chants W fourteen, should terminate its
operations, particularly in the present IN.
favorable state of the American commerce,
and after the great losses lately experienc.
ed abroad, without giving a serious shock
to commercial, banking and national credit.
Ii is not intended to overrate the extent OF
an evil which there are no certain data to
appreciate. And without expatiating on
the fatal and unavoidable effects on indivi-
duals, without dwelling on The inconven-
fence Of repaying at this time to Europe, a
capital of seven millions ; and without adj
v%erting to other possible dangers of a more
general nature, it appears sufficient to state
that the same body Of men who owe four.
teen millions of dollars to the bank, owe
also ten or twelve to the United States, on
which the receipts into the treasury for this
year altogether depend ; and that, exclu,
sively of absolute failures, it is improbable
that both debts can be punctaally paid at
the same time. Nor must it be forgotten,
that the approaching NON-IMPORTA-
TON will considerably lessen the efhcien
cy of the provision by which subse quent
credits are refused to importers who have
not discharged former revenue bonds. Up
on .he whole, a perfect conviction is felt
that in the critical situation of the country,
new evils ought not to be superadded, and
a p~erilous experiment be attempted unless
required by an imperious necessity.
In these hasty remarks, | have not ad-
ver,ed to the question of constitutionality,
which is not a subject of discussion for the
secretary of the treasury. Permit me, how
ever, for my W sake, simply to state,
that the bank charter having, for a number
of years been acted upon or acquiesced In
as if constitutional by all the constituted au.
thorities of the nation, and thinking myself
the use of banks to be at present necessary
Tor the exercise of the legitimate powers OF
the general government, the continuation
Of q bank of the Uuited States has not, in
the view which | have been able to take of
the subject, appeared to me to be uncon.
stitutional.

on the 10th Dec. 1910 the Counsellor of Estate Count
Caftarelh presented an Expose on the subject of tie

sultum proposed, the principal article of which places
10000 men of the CONSUMPTION of 1911, at the dis
posal of the minister OF war for the purpose of re-
cruiting the army.
[In an extraordinary sitting of the 18th Dec. the
Conservative Senate adopted The two above mentioned
Senatus consultums, and another relative to the ans
nexation of Holland, the Hanse-towns, and the Va
tais to the French empire.
1.-THE French papers in our possession contain some
important documents never before published relative
ITO Lord Lauderdaes negotiation in 1876, to the nego-
tiation after the peace Of Tilsit, and to a negotiation
between the Dutch nGnistry and the English govern
ment in February, 1910.
-Four papers also contain a decree of Napoleon of
the 5h Dee. relative to imports and exports in licens-
ed vessels-and a decree of the 18th Dec. respecting
newspapers.
lit appears from papers laid before the Conserva-
tive Senate by the minister of Foreign relations, that
in February 1910, the Dutch ministry attempted to
open a negotiation with Great-Britaini in order to pre-
vent the annexation of Holland to France, but, ac-
cording to the French Editor, England preferred the
continuance of the war to the Independence of Hob
