INSTRUCTIONS TO OUR MIN
ISTERS AT GHENT.

The National Intelhgcncer OF The l2th inst
contains the first letter OF instructions 10 our
Ministers. 1t occupies nearly six close col
uinns Of that paper. Some part OF the IN
structons, being Of confidential naiul e,were
ordered no; to be printed. Taken in conncx-
ion with the Message of the 10th inst. (says
tho Washington City Gazet,e,) they present
a complete view of executive proceedings Tor
the restoration of peace between tho United
States and Great Britain, from April, 1918,
10 the middle OF last August.
The chief points enumerated, arc those OF
blockadcs aud imprcssment.
With respect to blockades, as the British
had declared their intention Of always station
ing force before an Invested place, sufficient
~ strong to render the blockade la wful and
had, moreover, revoked their orders in coun-
Gil the United States were willing to wave
that topic our commissioners, at the same
tinc being instructed TO procure more ex-

the treaty, if practicable.
On the subject OF impressment, the Unit
cd States proposed to give vigorous effect to
the act Of Congress FOR preventing foreign
scamen being employed on board A'Neri.
can vessels, public and privatc.
The President, in addition, was willing, in
order TO give greater force to the Congress
sicnal act, to compel foreigners, desirous Of
becoming na,ura!ized, to report themselves
in court, once in edcA Of the five years OF re-
quired probation, SO as TO hinder alien sea-
men (who would necessarily be absent great
part OF the ,ime) from becoming naturalizcd

Many persons express great indignation at

for any such rcsentmens. 1t is the mos, nat
ucai and reasonable thing in the world, Tor
one band Of villaios and pirates TO call Tor the
assistance of another, as in the present IN
