The reasons given by the consignee OF the
loss, " by these unhappy shipments, were the
enormous duties and charges occasioned by
the French Enperor's DEGREES, passed IN
1910 and 1911" Those DEGREES were made
TO have retrospective effect, as tar back as
to include all the Tobacco in his reach, &c.
and indeed they have had that effect, and 1t IS
well known they were passed long since the
DEGREES OF Berlin and Milan, sc. were said to
have been repealed This loving act, this
friendly embrace will not soon be forgotten by

Mr.. PR1NTER,

The statement in your paper OF the
l4th, regarding Mr.. Joseph Smiths sale OF
Tobacco at Toningen, wherein he appears not
only to have lost the invoice cost In this coun-
try. but is also broughtin debt to the conslg-
nee 1881 dollars 81 cents, forms a subject OF
of serious importance at thlscrlucal juno
rure.
Was this solitary instance of the result OF
shinmepts 70 the countries under the control
of the French monarch, we might attribute 1t
TO the fraud and injustice of the conslgnee,
but unhappily for the commerce of our coan-
try we have of late too many toprove 1t arises
from, system of commercial exacliohs on the
part of the Imperial Plunderer, completely
calculated for the annihilation of such Amerl-
can property as it may be thought polite not
!. 20 embrace under the revoked DEGREES OF Ber-
lin, Milan, &c.
This species of plumber exceeds all that has
gone before it, Hitherto the loss OF our cap
tured property sufhced; now by an ingenious
system (called by our administrators munich
PAL and of which they dlsclalln the right to
complain) it is SO contrived that the property
itself forms but part of the sacrifice, Tor it
involves the American owner in an additional
contribution, through the agency OF the con-
signee.
Yet for a commerce like this we must have
a war with Great Britain will not de-
fond the orders in council, but | will hazard
the assertion, that it has been fortunate for the
great bulk of our merchants they have exist
ed, for otherwise the amount of the property
which would have gone to France and its de-
tendencies, would have added fifty fold to the
seizures, con6scations, and the legaiized rob-
berry now carried on.
Our trade with Great Britain, with all her
sins upon her head, presents nothing like what
has happened in our intercourse with France.
In her ports We are Hospitality entertained ;
we dispose of our products, subjcctto the du-
ties long known, and not formed Tor the par-
pose Of entrapping our merchants.
As YOU have given US the result OF a French
sale of Tobacco viii add, for the information
