WILMINGTON, June 8.

Marine Intelligence Arrived off New
Castle, on the 28th ult, a small schooner
called the Favorite, James Bills, master,
under q British flag aud papers, bound to
Philadelphia in ballast, with passengers,
baggage and specie. The passengers, ~
in number, men, women aud children, who
have escaped with what they could save
from the RUNS Oh Laguira and Caracas.
Captain Bills was not informed that the en-
tering of the waters of the United States
made his vessel liable to Forfeiture, until
he was boarded while at anchor off New
Castle, by an officer from the United States
sloop of war Argus. All the passengers
were landed by order of the commander Of
the Argus, and permittedto transport their
baggage aud cash to Philadelphia, except
Mr.. N. Patralla, of Laguira-cash amount
ing to 20,136 dollars, was seized by the
officer of the Argus, landed and lodged by
the Marshal, IN the farmers Bank OF Della
ware, not leaving him a dollar to pay his
expenses. The schooner was removed by
the Marshal to Wilmington and her sails
unbent. This appears to be a hard case on
the concerned. We nave made enquiry at
the custom-house, and find that the seizure
was not made by the collector, or other re-
venue officer authorised by law. Those in-
terested are instituting an iUquiry into The
legality of the proceeding, and in time the
public will be made acquainted with the re-
suit.

France and the u. ,. has had but little actlyl-
ty, the cause must be sought for in the outra-
ges which the British government has exer-
cised against the flag OF the U. s. and against
the French flag, and in the cruises (croiseeS)
which it has established on the ocean and in
the Mediterranean, on the coasts Of France
and ON those OF America.
The undersigned has in his bureau a me
morandum of a great number of American
vessels taken at the entrance of the rivers of
France, and the English papers every day
mention that these vessels are condemned
and delivered into the captors for having vio-
lated the blockade of 1906, or other Orders
of the British Council.
Those American vessels which have escap-
sd the enemy, and have entered the ports of
France, have sold their merchandise to ad-
vantage, have taken return cargoes and real
lied a profit on them, Notwithstanding the
enormous insurance they have been Obliged
to pay on account of the risk they run from
British cruisers.
Ii the flag of the u. S. was respected, if it
enjoyed the rights guaranteed to tho naviga-
ton of ~neutrals by the law which has existed
from time immemorial on this subject, and
of which the treaty of Utrecht has specially
recognized the principles, the be
tween the TIVE countries would have Its tuli
development, and the relations of the citi-
zens of the u. S. with the empire would open
to their activity sources of considerable pro-
fit.
In fact, the tariff Of the 9Th August estab-
lished duties which are paid by the consum-
ers, and which can have no other influence
than on the price ofthe articles. The duties
OF 900 or 800 per cent. laid in England on
nina 80 To-. ID - on,y nEbar nrttolOa
for a long time past, are. in like manner
nothing more than dates Oh consumption,
which have no other effect than to raise the
price, without in any manner lnJuring the
commerce in them.
The merchants of the U. 5. are not sub
jected in France to any duties, or to any OBJ
legations that are not equally imposed on
French commerce, of which they moreover
partake all the advantages And whilst, In
the u. S. cargoes imported in French vessels
pay ten per cent. more than if they had been
imported in American vessels, the flag ofthe
u. States is treated in France as the Imperial
flag.
Nevertheless, atreaty of commerce, bot
toned on the principle ofn perfect reel proof
ty, could not fail to be entirely advantageous
to both countries. The Undersigned is author
ised to negotiate, conclude, and sign, such a
treaty. 1t is with a lively satisfaction, that
he makes known to the minister plenipoten-
tiary of the U. S. the intentions of his males
ty on this important object. The T. States
will be entirely satisfied on the pending ques-
tons Questions cetuellsS,) and there will be
no obstacle to their obtaining the advantages
they have in view, if they succeed in making
their flag safe.
The undersigned has the honor to renew to
Mr.. Barlow, minister plenipotsntiary of the
U. States the assurances of his high conside-
ration.
