"All cases of capture or seizure of American property, which have occurred under the Milan decree remain suspended; and the council of prizes has positive orders not to proceed in them, till further instructed ; and it is believed the emperor will decide nothing, before he knows the result of Mr. Rose's mission."
If matters are arranged with England, I fear that all the American property now under sequestration, as well as that captured, will be confiscated and condemned: but if on the contrary, the negotiation with England is broken off, it is confidently expected that all American property will be immediately released.
Every American here was much gratified with the news of the embargo and certainly those who disapproved of the measure at the time, will acknowledge its wisdom and salutary effect after hearing of the British orders of the 11th November and of the French decree of 17th December.
"Every ship detained at home by the embargo has been saved from capture by The British or sequestration by the French whose conduct has been equally unjust and injurious; I hope it will be continued till they both agree to respect our neutrality."
