PARIS Thursday, Sept. H. 1854
Some curious proceedings have taken place in
regard to the Capt. Gibson claim on the Dutch
Government since the date Of my last letter on
that subject. have already mentioned the mis-.
take made by the Minister Of Foreign Affairs in
sending TO Captain Gibson all the government
papers and secret documents concerning his case,
believing them to be only the private papers, and
in his own writing. Of Capt. Gibson. This cir
cumstsnce has given rise to a most irrtated dis
cussicn in the Netherlands journals, which is con-
tnued to this moment, and has sunk so deep into
other questions which agitate the country as to
threaten the overthrow of the ministry which
committed the blunder The opposition Journals
favor the claim of Capt Gibson, and call loudly
for change of ministers. The minister who
sent the bundle OF papers by mistake, in his de-
mand for their restitution asks for the return of
some insignificant papers which appear to have
glided into" the personal papers Of Capt. Glib
son through the negli yence Of the individual who
was intrusted with their care-an excuse which
be makes before the Netherlands people. But it
happens that the proper papers Of Capt. Gibson
form the smallest proportion of the bundle, aud
are in loose sheets, while the government papers
are bourd in three very large volumes. Capt. Glib
son feeling his clam sufficiently substantia.ed
without recourse to the secrets revealed in these
documents in answer to the DEMAND Of the min
lister, restored them.
Until within few days, the negotiations OF the
American Minister at the Hague have been
marked by the same Indifference and want of eff
cheney as had characterized them at the time OF
writing my former letter on that subject. Deeply
busted 10 the Russian loan question: andin other ex-
tensive European money operations with the house
OF the Rothschilds, aud forced their account
TO maintain bis position at the Nethe rands at all
hazards, Mr.. Belmont was not going to any
risk Of compromising that position and destroy
ing the immense money making schemes which he
bad in view, for the sake Of sn obscure individual
from the United States supposed TO be without
political or social Influence, and whose PERSONAL
~ even, Mr. Marcy had some difficulty in finding
ont. But it appears the gentleman in question ia
a nan of ability and determ nation, who knows
the justice Of bis claim and is determined TO pur
sue il, and who, having been victimized by the
Dutch in Java does not desire to be yictimized
by Diplomacy.
Affairs were ia this condition when Mr.. Dudley
Mann arrived in Paris. Soon after his arrival,
and at the instance of the members Of the Ameri-
can Legation D this CRY who believe, acknowl-
edge the justice Of Capt. Gibson's claim, Mr..
Belmont was requested 70 attend diplomatic
council stthe Legation in Paris to decide upon the
question He at first refused, urging business as
5n excbse-which was no doubt good one A
second request was sent, which was again refused,
on the ground that an opposition journal at the
Hague had, in the meantime published an article
sgaipst him, in which it was stated that the
Unit,d States Government had severely con-
dtmned bis course, and that be had been ordered
to Paris to meet Mr.. Mann, to render an account
of bis conduct. Ny FIRST notice Of the affair in
THE TRIBUNE was also made the subject OF
reclamation on the part of Mr.. Belmont. On
being assured however, that neither Mr.. Mann,
Capt. Gibson nor the Legation at Paris had any
knowledge Of the publications referred to- ne
