LETTER IX. stn, MY former Letters have brought the discussion of the American Treaty down to the twenty-third :article. • • • The Twenty-fourth " engages to join in abolish ing the Slave Trade." Of the abolition itself, I certainly approve. I believe the present article to be perfealyno6l ib its nature. It, however; looks Very well, and, if not likely to prodnen'eautli. good • carinetdo inuCh harm. 4 • . •If made the subje of aPrivate understands sf' th e same end would probably have been produced, Br it Lota HdLLAND would not have bad the same e4at. .• The Twenty-fifth " contains 'the. Stipulation glint :the.Treaty is not' to interfere with. antecedent *co" gagetnepts ;" the Twenty-sixth « limits the dura tion to ten years." The question of duration is 4 1 ' volved in that of the merits, of the Treaty 1.101 now therefore done with the Articles. But it appears, that previously,to.the signature of / the Treaty, two 'Votes were delivered by the,British to the American Commissioners. The first "-keeps open for future discUssion; 1 claim of Britain not to pay More on goOds sent front Canada or New Brunswick, ititti . the territsgies 4 the United 'State's, than is paid on the inipb4tit i of such goods in American.
