HAMBURG, April 2.

iAhh UKC, april 4, 1911.
Since my last. we have received the
unpleasant intelligence that an imperial
Decree of 25th March, which has reached
US, limiting the period for the entry Of
goods from Hclstein. at the present tariff
to the goth inst. adding 10 per &c Mt. upon
goods entering from that period to 9th Nav
and further declaring, that goods which
have not go in by his later period. must
be considered as English prope, " and
treated accordingly. The tine expressed
in this decree was the more unexpected. as
the Douanier have themselves declar-
ed the impossibility of getting the whole Of
these goods across the line for MANY months
beyond the period prescribed, and the nu
merous certificates required by the Danes,
before the goods now in their interior towns
can be moved towards Altoona, renders the
hope otgettIEg them there in time almost
out OF the question.

will be allowed to return again the moment ne
has arranged the business which has occa-
stoned his visit to this country.
This gentleman has communicated to his
friends the impression which was generally
felt at St. Pctersburgh as to the amicable dis
position of the emperor Alexander toward
this country. The fact, however, which Is
most confidently averred, and which there APP
pears no reason to dispute. of more than zoo
ships from England having entered the ports
of Russia, in spite of the remonstranceS OF the
French government, shows that the Emperor
Alexander, either from necessity or choice,
has departed from the system plannedtor nm
by his ally at Erfurth, and which was to GRIP
pie the power of England by the exclusion OF
her commerce.
Mr.. G. also states, that the quantity OF colo
NAL produce which the above ships conveyed
to Russia was so considerable, as to occasion
atemporary g.ut in the markets, and very con-
siderybiy to reduce the prices. At the time
of his leaving St. Petersburg, only one sentl-
ment prevail led as to the probability OF war
between France and Russia.
From another quarter of respectable au-
thority, It's stated, that the point Immediate
" under discussion between the two powers,
is the possession of the ports of Riga and Re-
vel. Bonaparte is said to have demanded
them precisely on the same plea on which he
seized Stettin, Colberg, and the other Prus-
sian ports, as being necessary to the compile
ton of the "continental system; = and with
oat which England would never be compelled
to accept maritime peace, so necessary to
tl,r, &C he Popornrtp'c
cation to the Russian emperor on this head
was accompanied and enforced by statement
of what he himself had accomplished that
he had shut out the English from the ports
of the Adriatic, from the Elbe and the We
ser, English commerce was entirely excluded
from all the ports of his own dominions, and
those of his eonfederates in certain degree to
the temporary detriment of his own subjects /;
and it now only remained for the emperor A.
lexander to affix his seal to this vast plan by
closing his ports in the Baltic, the only inets
he regretted to say, which were at present o.
pen to the English.
All this general Lauriston was instructed to
press upon the attention of the court OF ST. Pc
tersburgh; and also to say, that his master by
no means doubted the good will OF the En-
peror, but rather the ability of his govern
ment, which was too weak to carry into exc
cution the full intentions of His Majesty. On
this ground it was, that the French govern
ment sought the possession OF the two ports
in question, and also as guarantee that the
system of exclusion should be followed up to
its utmost extent.
A compliance with these demands would
have been equivalent to entire submission ;
AID that Russia has rejected them is evident.
1t now remains to be seen whether the enemy
will attempt to carry them into effect by
force.
