To the EDITalt of THE SEV. sin, LETTER IT. The,. First Article of the Treaty rejeEted by Mr. j*FI , IIIISON, is merely the formal stipulation of Peace and Amity ; the Second, we are told, con- Arms the first.ten Articles of Treaty of 1794. These ten Articles were, by the original Tieaty, to be permanent,•and, to continue notwithstanding the expiration of the remaining articles, The con urination, therefore, of these appears, at first sight, to be no more than the renewal qf former Ireaties usual in all conventions '.of modern But when" we look' to the nature of the stipulations -thus renewed , several questions occur which must be answered before it is possible t,o form a just esti-. mate of this part of the new Treaty. Among these ,gkrticles are two (the fourth and fifth) whiCh, re ferring to the provisions of the 'treaty of 1783, relative to the Rivers Mississippi and St. Croix, pro. vide-fur the appointment of Commissioners. for the purpose of ascertaining the-extent of the former, and determining what River was truly intended Under Ole name 9f the,latter. I own myself ignorant whether these several o gn .., rnissioners hail: settled the Matter referred to them." If they have, and the two Governments are, satisfied with their proceedings, the result of their . awards, and not the there reference, ought to haVe made part Of ilie Treaty. If they hare nut, 1. cannot at- 7 . iribkite much a6tivity or, foresight to the Negotiators, who renewed, in their original form, stipulation's which had been'ten years in execution: .1 cannot tiiijcieture what reason theyeould : have had for ex peeling that'the points disp9te4fl'Vti 1` , i94, would be nearer to an adjustment in f.f. ban ino,Boo. But T cannot help saspeaing:soMeinCorreCltie.st the Xarerican AnStra6t of the Treat ifiii - liar ! arid ;shall therefore it,yo,::no longer tnion the subje6t, reserving a claim to adverti. in f a snore nnqualified. manner, upon . the stipulations of ;he second Artiele, if I should Hereafter: find' tlio• ikincrican statement of it to be entirely correct, The third Article of the nekV' l is t, , .relates to the Commerce, of America with, he Territoriea in the East. It had been diliputed in our Courts*, :whetter, by the thirteenth Article of the Treaty of 1794, ..A.merican Vessels were permitted to carry on en. indire 61 trade to' British India in other words, whethe,they were allovved to take in eargoeS at a -British, or other European port, for exportation to ttte East. The construaion pnt upon the thirteenth .Article, as worded in 1764, was favourable to such traffic; ; 'and this being 'considered as nyt within ilia intention of those who framed that yreaty, or consistent with the spirit of our East India policy, the words " sailing (tiredly ,from Ports of the IJ d Stalev," have been introduced into this pari 'of the new, 'Treaty. • I ha've no quarrel either with this alteration, or, with the renewal of the reFnainder of the article; put I beg that it may be. remembered, when we come to discuss more generally the tenor of the Treaty, i tlie•balance Of advantage, that. the qualified eon& ' don thus given to the export . and- imoit. trade be ween' America' and our, Indiin 'Po'SksitionO l s a:valua tile and peculiar'boon concededid.the United States., *hether the 'qualification newlylintrodrieedte more f.vourahle to us or to•Atherica, inaYlti r 4ll c. be trade a it;e6l,loils with this qualification, Or without' it, the• Treaty allows Americans 'to - participate in a 'corn ' tuerce from which the mass of British Subjeas is res . trided. That restriction may possibly be Unwise, l;ot wlji;e WformS a: part of our . polki,the relaxa tican in favour orAinericaii rccloned among in;portant concessions for which k% have a tight expeet syrnettiing in return. .On the Fourth 'Article, Stipulating Ter general • 'liberty of Trude between the United . Statei; and the British Dominions in Europe, I have nothing. to-6- serve. •' • • • The proviOons of the Fifth, for equalizing the drawbaCks, and bounties, imposed and al lowed in either Country,'" whethcr Me importation . Or . ' ecputtatio . Mall he in Oitiriiri or A.bl !MICA N 'VOW'S," appear to fplfil, in the most advisable wait , ner, the intention's of tin Fifteenth Article of the Old Treaty; Althorn it we derogite in this arrangeMent ftam our navigatioo system, we make no.stipulati&i. Witieh, i not reciprocal. I am not .. alnotfk thdse wht doubt the general' policy of this mops ally filieral system of commerce; 1 consider' it, never theless, pit nialue'stionably true, that Wherevefthe bu ; attainetlWithout it, `a - ,positive Ptilat ion is to be. aVoided. • The necesSity of in t into the Treaty tt clause'..bikdintg ns for 4, )1 years to adopt, under' all circumstances, the r.,111,e commercial policy towards America, I can 116t holp consiacriog 11:; rather more doubtful. ,1 alu hOWever to believe, that if - tile Treaty btt . inade at all, tt was expedient to introduce p rov i s ion ; hitt 'if r ani right in apprehending ,!,,, tjle Clause as it, flow stlindg ttatch more (tvettrableobjed with the-,;. 01 0-1... , the Vritish Plenipotantiariee, term Et, altilOtlgit ft:ciplOCill, Liu 6i t to be considered, though not as an itnportant. cc n cession, as an ilOtre of the favourable disFoiit'on of Great Britain, which ought to - ensure to her equal indulgence tu points which were equallyfaiTutiie with her. . . Whether we have received at the hands of Ame rica the returns 'which we had a right to exped-r -whet* our conciliating condu& towards her has produced a corresponding demeanour, and equally amicable measures, towards soon be ascer tained. The next point to wieh have - to refer, is one of those upon Which it was su p posed the Nego tiation chiefly turned ; 3 matter, for the adjustment of which, the sturdy talent of Lord PRENVII+Lbad riot been bt,ifficient, and which we Were . taught 'to believe had at last been completely settled f)); the diplomaticexperietice of Lord AUCKLPIP, and the acuteness so well tempered with urbanity in his more unkaaised colleague. I logic therefore with anxiety to the Siva Article, for the regulation of the AbIERICAN JNTeRCOURSE with our :Pest India Islandsiand.l find the only conclusion' to which rhe Negotiatorp have brought thetuselves-.—t. that they cannot ogree about the matter !" There are so many points of view in which this Article requirs discus ion and illustration, that .1 shall make it the, subject of another Litter. DECIUS. The Sixth, Seyenth, and Eighth Articles, it is said, Lave been executed, which seems 10 imply' that the others have not been executed.

Yesterday a Military Council was holden at the Horse Guards, Whitehall ; the result of which wits not known : several Field Officers, lately returned from Buenos Ayres, attended till a late hour.. The great fault of Mr. Rose, Sen. in the opinion of the opposition writers, a fault which every ltntest Englishman will adtitire, is, his 'attachment to the memory of Mr, Prrr; and the great fault in Mr.' Rosa, Jun, in the opinion of the same mriters, is; that he is going in a diplomatic charaaer. to America. The latter gentleman,, however, might have expea- L;(1 to escape the newer, of the Oppositiort:writell; as he has -hitherto taken .no particular , part in poll , tics, but is well known to the world by his literati taste and talents. - Surely then he has as much Clain) to a diplomatic character as Mr. ADAIR, though ilc never weiq tipod 'mysterious IniOion to 'Russia, or cl?sidayed his genius in the. composition, and hiy Avis dont in the publ*.cation t _of half (1 lettere *.
