CoPENHAGEN, April 18th, 1912.
| SXR--With my dispatch No. 10, was sub
| mitted to You copy of the reclamation da-
ted November 4th, which thought it my
duty to make against the sentences of con-
domination passed by the Danish tribunals,
III the years 1909 and 1910, on American
ships and cargces. Mr.. de Rosenkrantz
was prevented at first by i'll health and at
forwards for a long time by pressure Of va
llous business Gas L understood) from ia, ing
| II before the King iii the mean time he con-
tinually discouraged any expectations that
lis majesty would accede 20 the PROPOSE
ions which 1T contains, persisting in his de-
claration to me on my first arrival here,
that there was no remedy for the past /;
hhdmg that i'll the usual course of BUSH
ness 1t was necessary for the minister
70 inform himself fully and particularly as
to the contents of the note, so as to submit
1t to the King by abstract only, / thought that
| might at once expedite my object. and add
to the probability of success in it, by having
the note translated into the Danish Ian
guage sent such a translation TO the min
| lister. on the 22d January, requesting (by
No. of the eNclosures) that the whole
might be laid before the king. This was
dune on the 18th of February, and on the
same day the minister ADDRESSED to me the
noe NO relating to Danish claims on our
government, to which answered on the
| iTth February as by No 5, and on the 9th
instant finally received the minister's re.
ply to my reclamation of Move mber 18th.
(No. OF the enClosures)
All nv former COMMUNICATIONS. sir. have.
prepared you for this result. * the most cx-
traordmary delay of the king iii announc-
ing it, though so far creditabie to him IN
asmnch as 1t denotes the reluctance With
winch he has come to conclusion which he
cannot oonscientiously approve of, and
winch he has nor found any admissible
peas 10 support or to countenance yet has
also afforded me the means of asceitainine
that no favorable change of this detevmina-
ton is to be hoped for.
All the business which my aDpoiatmeut
had IN view being now completed, ard as
there is not, as far as | know, one American
vessel actually under detention (i,v Danish
eapture) in any port of this kingdom after
answering the minister of states note IN sui
table terms, propose, pursuant to my in
e zoe at-~, 4
ris. wrote yesterday to Mr. Barlow for
passports. and soon as they arrive, which
may be about the commencement of nexs
month, shall be entirely ready TO make
use OF them. In the mean time | send home
with this, and other dispatches, my secrets-
-ry, Mr. Lewis, whose fidelity, industry ana
zeal IN the public service, so entirely an-
prove OF, that cannot but recommend him
TO your patronage and protection. Previous
to my departure propose, as have before
mentioned to you, TO present MIR Forbesin
the quality OF agent 10 the minister Of
state and to the other departments Of
government here, and / doubt not but
that II any OF onr vessels should hercaf-
ter be captured by DANISH cruisers, he will
be able to afford them every assistance OF
which their cases may be susceptible, ard
that his responsibility 0f character and his
other qualifications will procure due atten-
N'"'' w mo O'isNioI fSpiCSCnldllpDSs nope al
so that on my return To Paris 1 NAV be able
to assist MI Barlow in obtaining favorable
adjustment OF the questions which have ari-
sen out OF the French captures in this quar-
ter
1t seems to be scarcely probable, even il
we should not be at war with England, that
any OF our vessels which may have left the
United States for Russia will, if they touch
at Gottenburg for information, proceed OH
their voyages; tor either the emperor OF
France will occupy the Russian ports, or
the emperor Ut Russia will submit to his
terms IN either Of which cases those ports
will be vigorously closed against "cconial
produce" If the emperor of Russia should
successfully resist, then his country will be
inundated with whatever we can supply, by
the commerce of England in this last case
it is not be supposed that the English viii
take any neutral vcss lsubdeI their convoy
in the TWO former cases the Neutral will not
have any motive for joining convoy ON the
other hand, the French cruizcrs will Ger.
tainly intercept every Vesse! not unAer cot
voy, winch may enter the Baltic with
colonial produce, and It is equally Gers
tain that such cruzcrs will be sufficiently
numerous for independent OF the priva
teers properly French, the Danes have
found 80 iittle encouragement tor privatecrs
ing during the last twelve months, that ma
NY Of thcnl are reduced to the necessity ii
seeking French commissions
