Washington, March 2, 1515. Set—On the 6th of November last, I had the honour to inform you, that I had received full powers from his Majesty to conclude and sign with this Government, a Convention, verbatim the same as that entered into on the I3th of March, last year, between Great Britain and the United States, with all the amendments sub sequently effected in it by the Senate, the erasure of the words 4 , and America" in the first A -ticle, excepted. In reply to that communication, you did me the honour tong:laint me, that the President had decided upon referring the whole sat.' ject to Congress, whereby it became necessary for you to postpone giving a deti. skive answer to my.prop This Ittleitillbe of this - it the com- Ilneettement of the Session, carried ihto effect ; and I understand that the subject has been under the consider• ation of Congress. You will, therefore, I trust, Sir, allow me now to request to be made acquainted with the definitive intentidn of the President, with respect to the prop"sition submitted by me on behalf of his Ma- jesty's Government. - - I have the honour to be, with distinguished eonsider.ition, Sir, your obedient bumble servant, Hon. John Quincy Adams. H. U. ADDINGTON. Ma. CLAY TO Ma. ADDINGTON. Department of State, Washington. April a, toss. Strt—l have the honour to inform you that the delay in the transmission of a drfinitive answer to your note of the 6th November last, has proceeded from an anxious desire on the pert of the late President of the United States to ascertain the practicability of reconciling, it Ipossible, the views of the Government of the United States with those which are entertained by that of his Britannic Majesty, in respect to the Convention for more effectually suppressing the Slave Trade. With that object, the correspondence with your Government, and the Convention in which it terminated, together with what has since passed between the two Govern menu, both here and at London, were submitted to Congress during its late Session. Of that revenge you were apprized, by the note of my predecessor, of the 4th December last. It has se happened that neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives has expressed, directly, any opinion on the subject. But, on another Convention having the same object, concluded with the Republic of Colombia. on the 10th day of Dec. 1824, which was formed after the model of that whit!' is I pending between the Goveinnsents of the United States and Great {Muir), the Semite has expressed a very de cided opinion. In the Colombian Corivention, the coasts of America were excepted (comics operation, and yet. ricitwitlivtooding this coosiliating ligature, Also Senate, atter lull deliberation, in the exercise of its proper constitutional powers, has, by a large majority, deemed it inexpedient to consent to, and advise, the ratification of this Convention. Government of his Britannic Majeaty is well' acquainted with the provision of the Constitution of the United States, by which the Senate is a component part of the Treaty-making Power ; and that the consent and advice of that branch of Congress are indispensable in the formation of all Treaties. According to the prac tice of this Government, the Senate is not ordinarily consulted in the initiatory state of negotiation, but its consent and advice are only inAked, after a Treaty is concluded, under the direction of the President, and submitted to its consideration. Each of the two branches of the Treaty-making Authority is indepen dent of the other, whilst both are responsible to the States and to the people, the common sources of their respective powers. It results from this organisation, that, in the progress of the Government, instances may some.imes occur of a difference of opinion between the Senate and the Exe cutive, as to the expediency of a projected Treaty, of which the rejection of the Colombian Convention affords an example. The people of the United States have justly considered that, if there be any inconveniencesin this arrangement of their Executive Powell, those in conveniences are more than counterbalanced by the greater security of their interests, which is effected by the mutual checks which ate thus interposed. But it is not believed that there are any inconveniences to fo reign Powers, of which they can, with propriety, com plain. To give validity to any. Treaty, the consent of the contracting parties is necessary. As to the mode by which that consent shall be expressed, it must ne cessarily depend with each upon its own peculiar con stitutional arrangement. All that can rightly be demanded in treating, is to know the contingencies on the happening of which that consent is to be regarded as sufficiently testified. This information the Govern ment of the United States has always communicated to the for eign Powers with which it treats, and to none more fully than to the United Kingdom of Cirreat Britain and Ireland. Nor can it be admitted that any just cause of complaint can guise out of the rejection by one party, of a treaty, which the other has previously ratified. When such a case occurs, it only proves that the con. sent of both, according to the constitutional precautions which have been provided for manifesting that consent, is wanting to make the Treaty valid. One must neces sarily precede the other in the act of ratification ; and if, after a treaty is ratified by one party, a ratification of it be withheld by the other, it merely shews that one is, and the other is not, willing to come under the obligations of the proposed Treaty. I am instructed by the President to accompany these frank and friendly explanations by the expression Of his sincere regret, that from the views which are enter tained by the Senate of the United States,' it would seem to be unnecessary and inexpedient any longer to continue the negociation respecting the Stave Conven tion, with any hope that it can be made to assumes form satisfactory to both parties. The Government of his Britannic Majesty insists, as an indispensable condition, that the regulated right of search, proposed in theCon vehtion, should be extended to the American Oats, as well as to those of Africa and the West Indiek.. The Senate, even with the omission of America, thinks it inadvisable to ratify the Colombian Convention. And it is, therefore, clearly to be inferred, that a Convention with his Britannic Majesty, with a similar omission, would not receive the approbation of' the SSnate. The decision of the Senate 'chews that it has made up its, deliberate judgment, without any regard to the re.' lative state of the Military or Commercial Marine, for all the considerations belonging to a view of that subject would have urged the Senate to an acceptance ofthe Colomhian Convention. It is hoped, thertTare. that his Britannic Majesty cannot fail to perceive that the Senate has been guided by no unfriendly feeling to wards Great Britain. Before closing this note, I must express my regret that I am unable to concur with you in the view which you have been pleased to pre-ent, of the Act of th , British Parliament, by which it has denounce,: as piratical, the Slave Trade, when exercised by British subjectc. It is acknowledged, th rt the Government of the United States considered such a denunciation as ex pedient, preli.ninary to the conclusion of the projected ; Centre/Hip& But 'the British Parliament, donbtlessai upon• its own sense uf, the enortylity of the offence,' deemed it proper to atlix to it the character and the penalties of piracy. However much it may be sup posed to have been actua:ed by an accommodating spirit towards the United States, it can hardly b. ima gined that it would have.given that denomination to the fact of trading in slaves, (rum motives of concession merely, contrary to its own estimate of the moral cha racter of that act. The Executive of the United States believed, that it might conduce to the success of the negotiation, if the British Parliament would previously declare,.as the United States had done, the Slave Trade to be piratical. But it did not follow, from the passage of that Act, that any Treaty, in which the negotiation might terminate, was to be taken out of the ordinary rule by which all treaties are finally submitted to the scrutiny and Sanction of :he respective Governments. No peculiar advantage has accrued to the United States from the enactment of that British law. Its continued existence, moreover, now depends upon the pleasure of the British Parliament. But there is no disposition to dwell longer on this subject. The true character of the whole negociation cannot be Misconceived. Great Britain and the United States have had in view a common end of great huma nity, entitled to their highest and best exertions. With respect to the desire of attaining that end, there is no difference of opinion between the Government of his Britannic M-ijesty and that of the United States, in any of its branches ; but the Senate has thought that the proposed Convention was an instrument not adapted to the accomplishment of that end, or that it was other wise objectionable; and, without the concurrence of the Senate,ttie Convention cannot receive the constitutional sacctions of the United. States. Without indulging, iheretore, unavailing tegrets, it is the anxious hope of the President that the Government of his Britannic Majesty should see, in all that has *occurred, nothing towa.ds it Unfriendly on the part of that of the United States, and nothing that ought to slacken their separate or wilted exertions, in the eMployment of all other prac tical modes to effectuate the great object, iv) dear to both, of-an entire extirpation of a traffic which is con demned. by reason, religion, and humanity. • I pray you, Sir, to accept the assurance of my distingui s hed consideration: 11. CLAY. henry U. Addington, Esq. Maria d'Atiaireirfrom Great Britain. Ma. ADDINGTON TO Nift. CLAY. Washington, April 9, 1525. Sta—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th instant la which you announce to me the definitive decision of the President, with re gard to the Convention for the more effectual suppres -sion of the Maisie Trade,' which I. had..the honour to strbmirlar the acceptance of this Government on the . 6th of. Novembe r. last. mln expressing y regtet at the failure of the benevo lent efforts which have been employed in a cause so dear to humanity, 1 may ventur e to assure you that, ' however deeply his Majesty's Government may deplore ' the present disappointment of• their hopes, they will consider the unfortunate issue of this business as in no wise affecting the friendly feeling* which exist between the two Governments, and sill accei.t with pleasure the expression of the President's desire, that every exertion should still be used for effecting the, entire extirpation of that odious tr.rffic, which the Convention was de signed to suppress. cannot dismiss this subject without a brief observa tion on that part of your letter in which you animad vert upon the argument employed in mine of the 6th of November last, relative to the Act passed by the British Parliament, for denouncing the S ave Trade as Piracy. The expressions used by you would lead to a belief that I had represented the passing of the Act, on the part of Great Britain, as rendering it imperative on the American Government to accede to the ConveUtion, even at the expense of a sacs Wee of their constitutional prerogatives. A reference to the expressions of my letter , will, I apprehend, at once demonstrate the erroneousness of this impression, by :hewing that I put the ease as a point of conscience, not one of right, and that I urged the argument above alluded to, in the form of an ap peal, not of a demand. The denunciation of the Slave Trade, as piracy, by British statute, was made try.. this Government, a sine qua non to the signature of the Convention. As far as limit Britain was concerned, that proteeding, although perfectly conformable to the views of Parliament, inroad morality, was one of pure supererog.stion, and con ferred no power towards the suppression of the Slave Trade, not possessed before. Had the Government of the United States not expressly desired the enactment of that statute, it would never have been passed ; but, being paned, its relocation, although certainly within the competence of Parliament, is now, by the interposi tion of subsequent events, rendered tantamount to morally impossible. 'hese circumstances will, I apprehend, amply justify both the form of the argument which I hulk upon them. and the warmth with which 1 urged it. • • I pif the t etinhcrillabloastit: by any means with a view to ftee " ussiou, but simply in ordir to obviate all •mia ciastrustion of the meaning of words already employed by me. I have the honour, &t, to renew to you the emanate* of my distinguished mold erAtion. H. U. ADDINGTON. Tue Hon. Henry Clay, Secretary of State. [PRICE SEA , EN PENCE.

Their Royal Highnesses the Datkplliness, Madame the Duchess of Berri, the Duchess - of Orleans, and Ma demoiselle d'Orleans. took ther seats in the gallery re served for them. At one o'clock a salute or artillery, fired from the, Esplanade of the amounted' ill* departure of the Royal procession. His Majesty and the Princes passed through the great gallery of the Museum and the gallery of Apollo; the King stopped for some time in a hall, where he received the compliments of the great Deputation of the Chamber of Peers, and the great Deputation of the Chamber of Deputies, and then proceeded to the Estrade in which his throne is placed. Cries of rive k Roi giving les &turban r were repeated several times on the appearance of the King. . The Dauphin and the Duke of Orleans placed them selves before their seats ; the first to the right, the second to the left, of the King. The Duke de Bourbon was on the right of the Dan phin. The three . Princes were in the costume of Peers. The Grand Chamberlain, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, the Great - Officers of the King's House hold and of the Crown, the Marshals, the Ministers of State, and the Councillors of State, pl ace d t h emse l ves according to the ceremonial prescribed. The Chan cellor of France was in front of his artn-chair and of the upper bench reserved for the President of the Council,. the Keeper of the Seals, the Mi n i sters o f t h e Interioi, the Marine, and the King's Household. The Heralds at Arms, &c. who had led the procession, placed them selves on both sides of the Estrade. The Peers cf France, the Deputies, and all the spectators, remains standing, when the King sat down on his Throne, and covered himself. A profound silence ensued. His Majesty said, My Lord, be seated." The Chan cellor said to the Deputi s, Gentlemen, the King per mits you to be seated.' The King then took off his hat. saluted the assembly, and delivered the following Speech : " GICSTLIBM6N...-It is with real satisfaction that I see myself again among you. Attentive to the movement of people's salads (en moriveaserst des arils). and to she course of affairs. I have judged that ne serious motive required that the time when I proposed to call you to gether should be anticipated. My foresight has been justified, and I am happy at not having alp idged the epose on which you were allowed to depend. 'I Death has just struck, in the midst of his career, one of my most magnanimous allies: this loss has pro foundly afflicted my heart. I receive from his succes sor, as well as from the other Powers, the most positive assurances of the continuance of their frieadly disposi tions, and I have the confidence that nothing will impair the harmony between me and my allies, toe the tran quillity of na ions. Lhave conc tided Aril his Britannic Alajesty a Convention, which will render more uniform and less onerous, t:!e condition to which the reciprocal navigation of the two kingdoms and their colinies are subject. I expect from this arrangement happy results for our maritime con-in:erre. " I have determined to, fix at length the fate of St. Domingo. The time WAS come to close a painful wound, and to put an end to a state of things which compromised so many interests. The definitive separation-of this crs lony, which has been lost to us for these SO years, wig not disturb the security of those which we preserve. " A law became necessary for ttie division of the in demnity which I have reserved for the ancient planters: it will be proposed to y u. " I shall immediately cense to be laid before you the accounts for 1824, the statements ef the expenditure of 1825, and the budget of 1827. The development of our commerce And our manufactories daily increasing, the produce of the taxes in consumption and transactions, wi I allow an amelioration of the situation of the Minis. ten of our holy religion, an increase of the dotation of several of the services, and make it possible le redact, by 19 millions more, the direct taxes, which have already been diminished this 'ear. " Yuu will rejoice with me, Gentlemen, at thus find ing, in the progress of our internal prosperity, means to reduce the burdens which are the most onerous to the suhject. " The legislation should provide, by successive ame liorations, for all the wants of scciety. 4, The progressive subdivision of landed propetty, essentially contrary to the principle of monarchical Government, would weaken the securities which the Charter has given to my Throne and to my subjects. “ Means will be proposed to you, Gentlemen, to restote the agreement that should exist between the political law and the civil law, and to preserve the patrimony of families, without, however, restricting the liberty of disposing of property. as The preservation of families leads to and gui,ran tees political stability, which is the - first want of States, and especially that of France, after so many vicissitudes. " You will second me, Gentlemen, to accomplish the designs which I have meditated, and to ensure mote and more the happiness of the people whom Divine ['nommen has intrusted to my care. You will not be more moved than I am at the inconsiderable alarms which still agitate some minds, notwithstanding the security we enjoy. " This security, Gentlemen, will not be hazard.d, dependverall upon it. will w itch with equal solicitude o theimerest i s of the Stre ; and that I shall find means to conciliate what is required by the exercise of legal liberties, the maintehance of order, and the repres sion of het ntiousness." This dis Course was followed by the most lively
