The London papers appear to think

Holland, that great strictness has bees
observed of late at the treasury, in regar'
10 the execution of the embargo, and tha
exemption from its operation is not nov
allowed, in any case, without the fulles
inquiry into the truth of the representa-
iions made for that purpose.
We understand that there 4Previousl,
existed great anxiety in this respect 81
much so, that almost any statement of liza
bilily to damage by cargo was followe'
by immediate release Of the vessel; ant
the embargo, therefore, though nominall)
existing, became nearly a dead letter.
Whether it was thought afterwards that
this forbearance had been one cause oI
the high tone taken by the, Dutch Govern
ment, or that the Frendh Government
had complained Of so lax in execution oI
the spirit of the Convention, which is an
opinion to which many in the city incline
the embargo on dutch vessels is now en-.
forced with as much rigour, as during
any period of its continuance.

for the fall in Government securities gen

probably in intoxicating his own notions
so much in harmony as they wero to-
with those of his Dutch Majesty.
