Since had the honor Of writing to you

to some passenger to SO by one of our last
sailing schooners. You will notice that the
minister, In his report, says nothing particular
ofthe the u States, and nothing more precise
than heretofore of the revocation of the de-
crees
(" This furnishes an additional motive for
using all efforts to get the treaty through,
carrying with it an unequiyocal stipulation.

g / was questioned by tho Duke of Bassano
on the bill with good deal of point, when 1t
first appeared, and gave such clear and de-
cided explanations, as thought at the time
would remove all uneaSiness. But / have
since heard that the emperor Is not well salts

hand to individual cases only; and on personal
petitions, it would have excited no suspicion.
" In consequence of my repeated remon-
strances In cases Of condemnation of American
cargoes, on frivolous or false pretences,
think the career is somewhat arrested, and
they now show a disposition to revise the
judgments. The Betsey and Pioughboy, and
the Ant, are ordered for revision. The Be-
lisarius is in progress, and is likely to be IL
berated, as you will learn by the correspon-
dence now have the honor to enclose res
pecting that case"

MR.. BARLOW TO THE DUKE OF BAssANo.
Enclosed in No. g, of the 10th March I
COM of letter from Mr.. Rartogv 10 The
Duke Of Bassano dated the 9Th Of February
1912.
My Lord understand that the brig Bell
sarius, of New York, Capt. lockwood, and
her cargo is about to be con6scatcd, after re-
port made to his Majesty, because this vessel
and her cargo are liable to the decree OF Milan,
of the 18th Dec. 1907,
AS l know positively that this Anerlcan
vessel left Neqv- York the l7h Of Junf, 1911,
seven months after the revocation ofthe de-
crees- of Milan and Berlin, laden with hermst-
ted articles, tie produce Of the sM Of the
u. STATES, l am unable to account for this de-
cision, without attributing it to an error Of
dale committed in the report, in which 1t Is
possible that the year 1910 has been taken
for the year 1911.
take the liberty, therefore, to submit this
remark to your excellency, well persuaded, 1t
there has been an error in the report, the JUS
tice of his Majesty will order revision OF che
affair
pray your excellency, sc. Sc.
