The Emperor left Paris two days ago for St. Cloud, whence he goes to Compcigne, where he will remain till Easter. It is not probable that I shall have an answer to my propo sitions till he returns to Paris. The day before he set out, he gave me a ship to carry myself and family to .he United States. The minister recommended that I should not pin Paris, March 21, 1810. Sir,—I had yesterday the honor of stating to your excellency th‘e jaac,of the American ship Hero, and re quested thereon hift majesty’s decisi on. I have now that -ol informing you that a number of American ships coming directly from the Uni- ted States to the port of Naples un der a promise of protection from his majesty the king, RaVc notwithstand ing been seized and their cargoes sold “ for thc benefit of the fisc.” Nor does thc injury stop* here ! Though thus deprived of all mcaftg of subsisting themselves, the captains have been obliged to subsist thc crews (amounting to nearly SO0 men) and are now menaced with a farther exaction for ' port charges. This, in the strongest language of one of the sufferers, is literally to strip them naked, and then to de mand from them the expense of do ng so. As the Consular ageht of the U» nited States at Naples has made se veral unavailing representations on this subject to the King, as he has reason to believe that the system, of which this treatment is a branch, e- manates from his majesty, the Em peror, it becomes my duty to submit the facts to your Excellency, and to seek, through your intervention such correction of the evil as humanity and justice may conspire, to dictate. A remark which equally appljes to the crews of the ships captured in Spain and Naples, is that should thc vessels to which they belong lie con fiscated, means ought to be afforded them of returning to their country. In this event, therefore, I have to propose to your excellency that two or more ships be put at the dispositi on of the nearest American Consul, and permitted to sail f ur the U. States under bond, for the amount of their valuation respectively. (Signed) JOHN ARMSTJfOKO H. ; E. the Doke Cadort.
