FROM THE NORTH OF EUROPE.
We have been favored with the use of letters and with verbal information, from respectable sources, by the Adrian, arrived yesterday from Tonningen.
Imperial Licences had been extended to Holland One hundred of them arrived at Amsterdam, 19th April, 25 or 6 of-the American vessels remained under seizure in the Dutch ports. It was supposed by the merchants in Holland that Mr. Foster, who since sailed from England for this country, was to bring conciliatory propositions which would produce an adjustment.
The French Decree specially permitting the importation of colonial produce from Dutch colonies free from the extravagant duties was shamefully violated by issuing a retrospective order, on the arrival of two large Cargoes at Bordeaux from Batavia.- These,two vessels, (one of 700 tons) had valuable cargoes of coffee--the emperor levied a duty which amounted on the two to more than 200,000 dollars. A notable instance of Imperial perfidy, which amazed even his own subjects.
No other new decrees were known to exist. No political news later than we gave by the Manlius--latest accounts from Amsterdam being to 21st April, they had not received our March act in Holland. No change in favor of American commerce.
