From the North of Europe.
By an arrival at Baltimore, from Tonningen, accounts are received to the latter end of April: They state, that Imperial Licenses had been extended to Holland; that 100 of them had just arrived at Amsterdam; that as many as 25 or 26 American vessels remained under seizure in the Dutch ports; that the French decrees 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 2 large cargoes at Bordeaux from Batavia; that two vessels, (one of 700 tons) having 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.
