Mepedoon had seized, in the latter part of 1807, | under his several decrees, a large number of Ameri- | Js, which he held in sequestration only, awaiting, b deciding their fate, the final course of the United States. The embargo he was well sa- ticfied with, but that measure could not be perpe- tual. He feared the opposition of the commercial States might lead to its repeal. Upon its cessation, whenever that should occur, provided England had not yet been forced from the ground, one of two results was certain—the Unifea States must either declare war against England, or fall back into the old course of tame submission to insult and injury. ‘That the former course would be chosen, the evi- dences of national spirit he had seen did not give him perfect assurance. So he determined to hold a pledge for our good behavior. In February, 1808, his council recommended a modification of his decrees in regard to the United States. He issaid to have replied, indignantly, that there should be no neutrals in this war—that the United States should be compelled to become either | his ally or his enemy. It must be considered that the modification thus suggested would have had no other effect than to benefit England by the commerce of the United States, while England would herself have cut off, under her orders of November, the American trade from the Continent. The Americans | could not ask that he should allow a commerce in | his ports which England had first made tributary. The fact is, the Orders of November, and the re- tatiatory Decree of Milan as well, were acts of universal war, declared in the most plain and direct sense. There was no escape from either, but utter exclusion from the outer world. That position a nation like America would not and could not long | hold, and when she appeared on the stage again, she would be the subject of war, whatever she might assume about her neutrality. She would be a doubly attacked party, in an element where neutrality could not live. Agsinst one or both she must make war. If she yielded to the party most able to injure her, and escaped the other ey, while so doing, she yet became the efficient ally of that party against the other; and this, while the world was enforcing her own principles relating to such al- liances, against England, was not to be admitted, with the idea that America still retained a neutral position. If Napoleon had not decreed, circum- stances did yet enforce, the necessity of America be- coming a belligerent. That is, as circumstances were then shaped. In April, 18 war issued the Bayonne de- cree, the object of which was to assist in enforcing the embargo. Assuming the United States to be in alliance with him, as having a common object, he ordered that, as American vessels could not lawful- ly sail from their own country, all of them entering any ports under his dominions, or in his alliance, should be seized. The pretext was, of course, ut- terly unjustifiable, and was but another evidence of Napoleon’s determination to force us to an issue. He thus endeavored to enlarge his pledges for our active wren with him, and in the event of re- fusal—perhaps even without regard thereto—to se- cure a fespectable contribution to his military chest. Early in 1809, Mr. Jefferson, upon advice from John Quincy Adams, based upon the state of feel- ing in the Eastern States, consented to a repeal of the embargo, and moved thereto with some haste. He felt, no doubt, a sort of reverence for the mea- sure, as it had kept open war in abeyance until the term of his administration had run out, and would gladly have retained it for the benctit of his suc- cessor, had he dared. Snugly ensconced behind this rampart of seclusion he had enjoyed some degree of sufety as regarded outward collision, but the pres- sure trom within overthrew his wall of isolation. The act was repealed in Mareh. To allow trade to go forth again in its old channels would have been certain war ora spiritless submission to destruction. The —— was adopted of a non-intercourse with both the belligerents, leaving our commerce free wherever it could safely go, and offering a resum} tion of intercourse with either party which should rescind its opprobious edicts, conveying a sort of in- direct promise of alliance with such party in active hostility against the other. The act gained positive favor no where. The com- mercial party moderated their violence, because they knew it was a sensible measure, and because they had much respect for the new President, Mr. Madison, and hoped a moderate policy from him. But they complained that it should have been con- fined to France. Some of the administration party regarded its application at all to France as a glar- ing impropriety, and ray of them thought it alto- gether too much of a milk-and-water affair toward England. Abroad, England considered the repeal ef the embargo a triumph of her endurance, and a Yetreat on our part from the recoil of our own guns; a little more firmness might drive us further back. ‘Whatever she wished from us could now be obtain- ed th the West Indies. She offered, however, with remarkable generosity, to repeal her acts in question, idea the United States would keep wu its non-int with France, allow the Britis! navy to enforce it on our behalf, and ere up all trade with the French colonies not enjoyed in peace. Mr. Erskine, the British Minister at Washington, } inducement Amer’ his predecessor, snatched ton, ond precipitately announced, by proclamation of November 2, the de facto repeal of the French de- crees, and that under’ the arrangement adopted, if England did not, in the psi; repeal hér orders, | non-intereonrse would be "revived acainet ber from the 2d February succeeding. The and blun- der of this proceeding was more the fact that Napoleon had said not a word ing the compensation for his heavy spoliations, whic), had been made a joint and equal condition with tne repent of his decrees. It was very wonderful , cer- tainly, that the President should have allowd half the condition to be ignored, ‘ Serrurier, who arrived at Washington a the French ambassador meres in 1811,0n being questioned on the point, informed the government o! Napoleon's peremptory refusal to make any such compensation. till the President was quiet, and when, Mr. Robert Smith, the Secretary of fate’ proposed, to catechiae the Minister respecting the real raeaning of the proposition of Napoleon regarding the edicts, and to ask him to state explicitly whether the decrees had been repealed, from the preceding November, as understood here they were to ye, Mr. Madison tremu- lously inhibited any request for explanation. He | wished to hug his delusion as long as possible, and to make it a ground for operation on the British gov- etmment. But the pretence was too shallow to de- ceive them. To the repeated and urgent invitations to repeal their orders because Napoleon had with- drawn his decrees, the invariable repl was—Show us the evidence. Produce an offic al act of the French government repealing the Berlin and Milan decrees, and we will immediately comply with your desire. The question became, thus, which party should first recede. Napoleon had invited England to do go, or was willing she should act in the belief that he had doneso, if she chose. England was invinci- ble in the purpose that Napoleon should make the first retrograde—an open, palpable retreat, and no feint, was her condition. As being the first to commence the poly of infraction upon neutral rights and established customs, England should, pioperly, have first taken the backward step. Her refusal to respond to Napoleon’s act, supposing it were conditional offer, greatly exasperated the people of the United States. So the unfriendly acts continued on both sides still in force. England even | Stationed a squadron upon our coast to seize our | vessels as they came out of our ports. Napoleon continued to seize the vessels of the United States | on the Conginent and on the seas, under charges of search by the English being practiced upon them, ¢., for which purpose a fleet of small, fast sailing vessels was provided, l'rance having now no regular: navy. He also imposed most extraordinary restric- tions on the trade of the United States with France, putting so heavy a duty on cotton and some other } articles as to amount almost to prohibition. So ‘tious were these regulations, that the Secretary ite, in one of his official papers, asked what » had to get the English orders ‘ose to block up her own ports? ame, he averred, of no more consequence | whether the [English interdiction were removed | from the Fre: hi trade, than would the subject of a blockade of the Caspian. During the year 1810, the products of the United | land by being carried first in | States reached Engl: United States vemels to Sweden, Denmark, Norway, | Spain, Portugal, Madeira and Florida. Spain and Portugal were occupied by British armies. Early in 1811, the Chesapeake affair was settled, Madison agreeing at last to adjust it detached from other matiers. The revival of non-intercourse | against England was “eferred till’ March 2. Yet | alter it was thus reinetituted, Napoleon continued tohold the American property before seized in se- questration, and continued also his captures on the ocean, though limiting the cause to search on tie part of the British. And he declared, also, the Ber- lin and Milan decrees to be still the fundamental laws of his empire. The condition of things was thus i of pealed, if Pra: at the former interpreta- ‘of 1818, for ties of 1814 Mor was of sary to vex our dij points which the Of course England never made any indemnity for any spoliations on our commerce, the treaty of peace making no allusion to the subject, and our govern- ment itself having before justified a part of them. In regard to the claims upon France, Louis the Eigh- teenth at first declared the legitimate monarchy not liable for the acts of a usurper. But the attempt to separate the responsibilities of the mi m thoce of the nation failed, of course. France had tolerated Napoleon—-France was accountable for his acts, The negotiation was continued, subject to vexatious delays, until 1831, when a treaty was ef- fected, acknowledging the indebtedness of France to the United States, on account of these spolia- tions, to the extent of 25,000,000 francs, and provid- ing for its payment in six instalments. The United States at the same time acknowledged an indemnity due France of 1,500,000 francs, Payment being de- layed, Jackson, in 1836, extorted aa Louis Phi- lppe the first instalment. ith Spain our demands for the seizures made by Napoleon’s orders in her ports, and the older claims, were adjusted at the Florida cession in 1820, being allowed in part Uashvgs for that acquisition. The debt was probably the esioe motive on the part of Spain for the cession. She knew it must be paid; her treasury was bankrupt; and if Florida were not | relinquished on account of the indemnity, she knew it would be forcibly taken therefor. ‘Our claims vpon Portugal were adjusted in 1832. Tnteresting and Curious Correspondence on military Aliowances, [From the San Diego Fil We have received for publication the folowing corres- pondence, which is more than rich; itis positively lus cious:— Wastunctow, Jan, 14, 1854. Lievy. G. H. Derny, U.S. Army, San Diego, Cali-— Sik—An effort having been made by me, in connection with others, to obtain an act of Congress during its pre- sent session, by which army officers will receive the same allowances whilst they served in California and Oregon, as were granted to navy officers, I beg to call your attention Thereto, and especially ask your approval of the contem. plated attempt. You are aware that Congress, at its last session, grant. ed in the Naval Appropriation bill, extra pay, (82 per diem,) to the officers, and double pay to sailors and others, serving in the Pacifie during the Mexican war, and up tothe 28th of September, 1850. This allowance was based upon the supposition that the officers of the army serving in California, had received the same allow- aneé by previous acts of ‘Congress, when, in fact, this extra pay had only been granted them from Ist July, 0. | 1861 There are a large number of army officers justly enti- tled toan additional allowance, aid for precisely the same reasons which have induced Congress to grant it to the Navy, and especially those who served there subse- quent to ‘the Ist January, 1848, when they were com- pelled to pay the most exorbitant prices for the neceasa. ries of life, having no other alteraative, and no means of Jeaving the country like the officers of. the Pacific squad- ron, who could have left the coast of California and gone to cheaper station. Thave been requested by a number of officers stationed in Texas to solicit your co-operation in carrying out this desirable object, by contributing, in the event of success, the proportionable per centum agreed upon by them, viz. five or ten per cent on the amount that may accrue to as bad as ever. Barlow, the poet, had been sent to France, in February, to replace Armstrong, and to endeavor to negotiate a commercial treaty, adjusting | all differences—a task utterly hopeless. Free trade, release of property held, and indemnity for that sold and destroyed, were the claims he was instructed to refer. Napoleon and his ministers amused him | for awhile, to keep the United States quiet toward France. Barlow requested the Emperor to open the | continental ports to the trade of the United States, asa compensation for non-intercourse with Great Britain. After long consideration, the reply was that it could not be objected to, provided the United States would secure the safety of her flag against | England. Of course, Napoleon would not consent to allow and encourage in his porte a trade which would be made tributary to England. | In May, 1812, a very explicit proclamation from the Prince-Regent of Great Britain, as a final answer to the repeated solicitations of the American gov- | vernment in regard to a repeal of the British orders, | having been published, declaring that such repeal would occur upon official evidence being furnished | of the revocation of the Napoleonic decrees, low | seized the occasion of this official call, to urge upon | the Emperor the production of the evidence de- manded by England. Thus pressed, the minister | of Napoleon transmitted to the American Plenipo- | tiary a copy of what appeared to be a secret order | of repeal against the Berlin and Milan decrees, dat- | ed April 28,1811. It would appear, that to satisfy | the United States, if required, a document of actual | repeal had been at some time prepared, but which | was ce he be produced so long as the United States government could be kept quiet without it. The | object of this secrecy, as of the whole course of Na- poleon in regard to the repeal of the decrees, was to effect his end of involving the United States in his war. Had the order of repeal been before given to the United States, he knew it would be at once sent to gene and would undoubtedly have the effect to induce the repeal of the British orders, and | thus remove all chance of driving the United States into the war. Whatever had been his former desires, | there was no mistake as to his policy at this time. | He kept back, therefore, the order of repeal until he was fully assured by the preparations and tone in | Washington that war was a foregone conclusion, and gave it, then, knowing that war would exist before it should come before the eyes of the Ame- rican cabinet. Barlow immediately sent a copy. of the order to | England, and her obnoxious acts in council were at | once rescinded. But it was too late—Napoleon had trifmphed. The United States had four days before declared war. | | | misunderstanding the terms, promised uncondition- al acceptance by his government, of the offer of the United States, upon which, Madison, in April, re- | newed by proclamation, intercourse with England, ae France still under proscription. The de- | light the mercantile community was short-lived. e British government prom yy, disavowed the ar- Tengement, and in August tison renewed non- intercourse by a counter proclamation. The affair was unfortunate, as it served only to irritate farther all jes concerned. , on hearing that the hoped-for move- ment of the american government had turned out a retrograde, and that France was placed on the same footing with England, was enraged to the last degree. Above all, his fury was moved by the sus- nsion of non-intercourse in favor of England, While it was continued against France. He deter- mined on an ample revenge, and to attain that smothered his feelings for awhile. The continental were soon full of American vessels, released the embargo. He pounced upen them in Holland, + Italy and Naples, and feel what it was to offend him. He did not stop here. On the 16th of March, 1810, he made a treaty with his brother Louis, of foliand, for the full enforcement of his system re, providing that all American merchandise prrived in Holland since February 1, 1809, should be sequestered “ and made over to France, in order jo her disposing thereof according to circumstances, pnd the state of her political relations with the United States.” On the 23d of Mareh, he issued “he Rambouillet decree, published May 23, ordering that all vessels and goods under the United States flag, which had entered the ports of France, her allies or colonies, since May 20, 1809, (the date of the non-intercourse act,) or which should thereafter enter, should be confiscated. Under this decree, may millions of dollars’ worth of American proper- | ty before held in sequestration in the continental Ports, was sold. On the first of May, 1610, another change occurred | in the poticy of the American government. An act of this date, removed the non-intercourse act, the vessels of both beiligerents to our ports, | p a. the proviso that the continuance of tie pri- vi u the repeal of the objectiona- | Se stieer pab-interooures to be revived in fal force the party, one or both, refusing to meet this a F France reparation for the late con- fiscations was also made a joint condition. Practically, this measure was the same as that which it supplanted. The only difference was on invermon of terms in the proposition. The former starting from the basis of an established non-inter course, made correspondence the condition of the repeal of certuin acts. The other, proceeding upon the existence of free intercourse, made exclusion the penalty of non-repeal. Yet Napoleon affectod to consider that in the latter the United States had re- ‘traced the steps before taken, adverse to France, and on the Sth August the United States Minister was ssured that oked from Novy. Ist, upon the understanding that Ran cd was to ¢ her orders, or that the United states would cause its rights to be respected. There was, undoul ly. duplicity in the move- sient. Napoleon wished the American cabinet, cer- tainly, to consider the revocation of his decrees as | wecédent to the withdrawal of the English orders and as removing thus all justification for their re * tion. The proviso that America should make veland respect her rights, in case of refusal to re- ‘Ke, confirmed this unde: , assuming, as it 4, {vat France had removed all ground ‘int, a8 far as she was concerned. But the propo- on was 60 drawn, and intentionally, of course, aut the was equally legitimate that voleon made the repeal of his decrees nt 4 to proceed in subsequence of of the orders, My, Madison, more timid even than | bill i made the United «ment of all the objects involved in the war. So he | trade in an enemy's ports, blockades, indemn! Berlin and Milan decrees were re- | com- | Preparatory to this step, an embargo for sixty days had been laid on the 4th of April, and the war passed June 18. Up to this time, the number of captures of American veseels by the British, amount- ed to 917, of which 528 were prior to, and 389 suc- ceeding, the orders in council of November,"1807. over 2,000 American vessels, it is said, had been taken by all the belligerents. The chief cause of the war being removed simul- tanously with its declaration, the British government at once proposed an armistice, to arrange other dif- ficulties by treaty. But Madison knew the young | and ardent leaders who had just entered Congress, | and who, shoving aside the cautious old men before | at the head of the party, with their hesitating poli- | cy, and who had forced even himself to the unwil- ling alternative of war, by the threat of defeating him of @ re-nomination (for a timid, honest man | may have his courage affected by personal interest, | where his judgment is already convinced,) he knew | they would not sanction a peace without the attain- replied tothe proposal, that he would listen to no terms without the full renunciation of the right of search and impressment. Congress, at the next | session, sustained him in the act. During the first year of the war our privateers covered the ocean, and captured over three hundred | British vessels, Our trade continued also with the | north of Lege and thus indirectly, as well as through the West Indies, with England. In 1813, our ports were generally cloeed up, and bgth priva- | teers and merchant vessels, to a great extent, kept | in by British squadrons.

Your con- currence is therefore requested; and it is understood that if there should be a failure, vhich, however, is not anti- | cipated, no charge of any kind shall be made. Soliciting your tmmediate attention and early reply, I remain, very respectfully, y our obedient servant, CHARLES DE SELDING. San Dixco, 20th March, 1854. My Dear CaanrEs:—I have received your modest re- quest of the 4th of January, that I will give you five or ten per cent of any sum that Congress may hereafter, in its infinite beneficence, appropriate to my relief, a re- quest which you state you make to me at the instance of ‘‘a number of officers stationed 1n Texas.” For the benefit of those gentlemen, as well as your- self, I have asked Mr. Ames so peat your letter and my answer in the world-renowned San Diego Herald—the only method I ree of communicating with your advisers, as a letter directed to ‘‘a number of officers stationed in Texas,” might possibly never react: them through the ordinary channels. Upon’ mature reflection, of nearly five minutes, Ihave come to the conclusion to decline acceding to your a posal. This decision has resulted from several constier. me. In the first place, I don’t know you, Charles. I never | heard of you before in all my life. ‘To be sure, I see by your ich you so ly and wi my ‘wife has just stuck up in a corner of the cracked glass that adorns our humble chamber, that youre a general agent, (which may be a new military rank, for all] know, created with thes Lieutenant Geni {and if it ia I beg your pardon and touch my hat, for I have a great respect for rank,) and a notary public, and taat you live on Seventh street, opposite the Odd Fellows’ Hah. (iby not moye across the street?) But all this Coes not amount to friendship, intimacy, or even com- mon acquaintance; and I declare, Charles, | do not even know now whether you may not be some designing yerron, who, seeing that a billis likely to pass for the relief of certain distressed officers, seeks to a little Ulack mail—say five, or even ten ood cent—on the scanty pittance, under the pretext of having influenced Con- ‘that 1 believe all the general agents, notaries public, United States com- missioners, and commissioners of deeds, that ever lived be egg or in Odd Fellows’ Hall would fail to accom- plish, had not Congress made up its benevolent mind to do it wot ome em. i Second. Why should I promise to give you ten per cent of that allowance? (Oh, don’t you wish you might get it—I hope I shall.) You say you have made an effort to et it for wa. Ah, Charles, I love and honor you for loing 80 if you have, but how, when and where—tell me, where did you make that effort? But, if you did so, what of it? Perhaps—startling thought—vou will be writing to me for ‘‘five or ten per cent’? of that humble income! Don’t try it, Charles; you wouldn’t get it, 1 assure you. As to your making an effort, that’s all nonsense. Everybody makes efforts now-a-days. Every that I ever read of, except Mrs. Dombey, made an effort; and if my grandmother were to aie and leave me a thousand collars, you might with equal propriety inform me that you made an effort for that venerable person’s 5 and claim “five or ten per cent’ of that amount of pro- perty, as to humbug me with your making efforts to in- fluence Congress, who, as I said before, I solemnly be- lieve independent of all the efforts of all the notary publies in all Washington. From these two considerations, | conclude that you have no claim or shadow of a claim on me, but that your proposal is merely a request for charity, to the amount of “five or ten per cent’ on the small sum that you, living in Washington, and watehing the signs of the times, begin to believe Congress is fet to allow me. This charity I shall decline bestow! og three good and sufficient reasons :— Ist. Tam very poor myself. 2d.

These will contain 15,000 cuble ards of masonry, of which probably 12,000 yards must be bronght in vessels from ‘a distance,” Not. ese than 12,000 tons of it come in schooners from Malden, near Detroit. The locks are of sufficient capacity to admit the largest steamers now floating upon our lakes. At the commencement of the work there were 205,360 cubic yards of rock and earth to be taken out, above ‘The amount uow remaining is less than one-sixth ind if the work of the present month eq! past, about six-sevenths of the entire exca- vation work will be done above water, leaving something Jess than 30,000 yards yet to take out.

It was thought during the last season that there would be trouble Hr the men thus removed from any civil power equal to their own, and subjected to the severi- ties of a eMmate to which they are unaccustomed. But this has not been the case. No time worth reckoning has been lost in consequence of any controversy between the employees and the company. This fact is certainly very creditable to both parties. Men onthe work have been boarded by the company at less rates than could have been done elsewhere. And those having families have been constantly supplied with provisions from the company’s stores at rates ruinous to the pros; of speculators in provisions here. Flour, for instance, has been steadily furnished for $8 per bbl., when merchants ¢ sold at $10, but for the course of ow pany, would have sold much higher. While this course has given satisfaction to the laborer, it has had a contrary effect on the class above mentioned, whose complaints « times have been quite loud. ‘The difficulty of prosecuting the work during the win. ter in aclimate like this can scarcely be appreciated by the people of Ohio. We have once seen the mercury, at half-past nine A. M., at 34 degrees below zero; and fre- quently 10 or 15. below, with snow. At the earliest dawn of our short winter days, they having taken breakfast before daylight, the men are called out by the bell, and grope their way through the atmosphere, thick with the drifting snow, tothe tig ditch. ‘There they see the derricks, the drill houses, an everything which rises fifteen or twenty feet above ground. But where are their wheelbarrows, their drills and hammers, where are their picks and shovels, and their “runs,” (vir. the rows of plank on which the load is wheeled out)? "Nothing in sight but snow, snow, snow, and objects as high asa house. Everything olse, covered perhaps to the depth of three or four feet has to be fished out, after the “gang” have found out, by the above-named landmarks, {the place in which “they worked the preceding evening. The first thing then is fto clear off three or four feet of drift snow, to lay the work bare. And this part, during much of the winter, required from five toeight per cent of the laborers constantly. And in many locations, the ice formed during the night by the water ooring through the rock from the river nearly equalled the amount of rock that could be taken out during the day. Then the day has not more than eight hours than a half duri the winter. In truth, ours in a cold climate. On the 13th of April, the present month, I went with a party of six, to pay @ visit to the ‘‘sugar bush,” and we crossed the river, a mile wide, upon the ice with a two horse team without ea and found nearly three feet of snow in the Woods. ‘The season is much later than usual, and the prospect is that we shall not see a boat from below before the second or third week in May. condition for a completion of the canal during the sum- | canal gronnds, and, of course, had to be taken up during the winter, as | ‘igh winds and drifting | | gave evidence of its location, and it was soon h- | ed. Mr. Isaac H. Grafft suspected that the fire had been | the work of design; and directed his suspicion towards Mr. Loonie, whom he caused to be arrested. Lieut.
