PIJBIICANDIJM.

It having been notified TO the senate OF
this place by the French military sdn,l-
nistration, that in consequence of an imPe-
rial decree, dated the 19;h of Oct. 1910, oil
the prohibited English manufactured goods
(merehandises, Angloises provenans de IA
brique Angloise) in the Hansea,ic towns,
shalt be ieized and burnt--a d that i: ~ :
ia >tnA'. sH's ueere1, a uter's'rt1g shal'
be made 4 -morrow the 5th November
Tbs honstable senate solici.s every ci,izen
Of this place in the most parental manner,
to submit 10 this unavoidable measure, 60
hold these aforesaid English manufacture
ed goods ready for seizure, and to lessen
the calamity Of searching Of houses, to de-
livsr them without opposition; and 10 the
mean time to rely, that the honorable Sc
nate, in the present. affecting situation will
leave nothing unemployed to promote the
best interest Of the citizens here, so far as
lays in its power. However as comno-
tions and obs,inacy will inevitably prove
fatal in their conseque noes, this honorable
senete aGmonish every individual quietly to
submit to the said measure with warning that
every con,umacy viii! intaIlibly be punish
ed according to the severity Of the laws.
The following is the circular alluded to
in the above letter:
CIRCULAR.
Hamburg, Nov. 1, 1910.
Annexed you have TRANSACTIONS Of a
French Imperial decree, and oftwo DEGREES
of his majesty the king Of Denmark, regu-
la,ing the conditions on which the goods
now laying in Hols,ein may be thence *.
ported and imported into this city. These
measures are confe ssedly impracticable and
must be modified, or all the properly which
forms the object Of them must be sseridc-
cd.
This is the last day Of the term pre-
scribed for naxing the declaration ON both
sides, and the amount declared for impor.
tation here, is mex. to nothing because
there are very few articles which will bear
the enormous du,ies-and besides the
French decree applying in its terms only
70 prize goods, there is no sufficient securi.
" that the goods of a different descrip-
tion will be protected even by the payment
of the duties. Tue late measures have
spread general CONSERVATION and discou-
rasement among TIE merchants; and there
is very little, | may say 40 hopes of an adj.
vancement of prices competent to support
these new burdens.
Representations have been made both to
the Preach and Danish governments, and
some relief is expected, at LEAST as far as
regards the time prescribed.
AN respectfully,
!. N. FORBES.

In consequence of the French exactions on
one hand, and the Danish DEGREES on the
other, the trade hitherto carried on in the
ports of Denmark from the u. S. was re.
duced to ths most distressing condition, &
which indeed from similar causes was ,he
case throughout the north Of Europe. Co.
IoniaI and American produce were almost
without price or vaiue; in fact it was
matter Of great doubt with the holders Of
many articles, whether TO pay the duties or
abandon the goods. The French tariff of
duties was rigidly enforced in Hamburger
aud Russia, and in all the countries under
tie immediate influence of France. At
Frankfort and Leipsic all the American
produce there to a great amount, had been
seized by French military force, with the
view to exact those duties, as also was, a.
bout the same time, all English manutae.
lures at those places, under the order of
Napoleon to bura such wherever found.
On the 4th November the senate of
Hamburg published an ordinance requiring
such of the inhabitants of that place as had
any English manufactures in their posses.

against the French at Conil, near Tarisa, con-
sisting of 1900 horse and $4,000 foot, under
the command Of Generals Graham and Prln-
cipe de Canclona, commenced their move
ments. The landing was to be covered by the
English and Spanish men OF war, who accom-
panied the troops for that purpose. The
Spaniards were in high spirits, and anticipated
a happy result. The embarkation Of the troops
at Cadiz, caused suspension of nearly all
commercial operations. An irregular fire was
kept up between the forts Puntal and Mata-
