THE FRENCH BEcREEs.

The following article from the Philadel-
phia Gazette is a sufficient Comment on all
federal imputations on the Character OF this
paper for the language it has lately held in
respect to the French DEGREES. This is no
Jntelligencer " fabrication"-no democratic
lie ;" but literal extract from one of the
most respectable federal prints in one of the
largest commercial cities in the union:
There appears to be no reason to doubt
that SO far as regards those American vessels
z which arrived in France after the I'd of Nov.
the Berlin and Milan DEGREES are revoked !;
and there IS as much reason tobelieve, that
when this fact shallbe officially known to G..
in her ports, pder the xktaiiatoTy orders,
viii also be released, such measures we
Ahope will conduct. usyfo more prosperous
Vtate OF commerce &nd perhaps preserve us
from war with rpower-"a consumma-
ton most devSifly to be wished"

DUO DE BAsSANO.

The above paper, which is understood to
have been issued as an instruction to the re-
venue officers as to what articles were to be
admitted, is nearly literal copy from the an
nualtreasnry report for the year 1907, as the
caption oft intimates. The only articles OK
certed from the general admission of all pro-
Guce of the United States, are, we believe,
Rthose usually stated in the annual treasury
Report, in these words:
I Leather
y All other manufactures of iron and steel,
: besides those enumerated.
Merchandise and other articles not emu
merated.
The second Of these articles may be intend
ed to be included under the head "a castings -
: whether or not the amount is small. The
last item we presume includes no specific
merchandise, but ali such as win not come
under the articles specifically enumerated
and does not embrace any material portion
of our usual experts. 1t appears probable
therefore that it has been the design of the
French government to admit the importati-
on of all American produce, known to be
such, with the exception Of the article of lea
ther-yNat. 9nt.

ell Tor thirteen years the most fright
tui prescriptions took place during This
period, and Sylla was made perpetual
dictator; SyIla, Hiarins and his sons,
Cinna,. Scrtorius, and Peipenna, were

al epoch, Of tht fall of the republic. In
the yc;GSA ALTO War was undertaken
against Nitbaidates. which was not
