The long and arduous discussions which took place be tween Mr. Rush and Messrs. Huskiest= and Secretary Canning, in 1824, brought the parties very near together. Each ex changed with the other the proposal with which be would be satisfied ; but as they could not then agree upon either, it was concluded to suspend the negotiation, with a distinct understand ing on both sides, that it should be again resumed at some conve nient day.—(See protocol of the 25th Conference, page 181. of the printed pamphlet.)—From a comparison of the American and British proposals—(see the former, annexed to the protocol of the third Conference, marked A., p. 138, of the same pamphlet, and the.

If the connection between the United Kingdom and its numerous colonies is to be regarded in the light of that of a continuous coast, it must be al lowed that this coast has a very great extent. It passes around Cape Horn, doubles the Cape of Good Hope, crosses the Atlantic Ocean, penetrates almost every sea, touches every Continent and encircles the globe. A colonial coasting trade, of this univer sal reach, presents none of the properties of an ordinary coasting trade, except that of the identity of sovereign power. The foma dation on which nations are supposed to reserve to themselves, exclusively, their own coasting trade, is not merely that of mo nopoly, but principally because they are thereby better enabled to check all invasions of their own laws—a reason which is inappli cable to the widely dispersed condition of the British colonial pos sessions.

DEPARTMENT Or STATE, WASHINGTON, NOV. 11, 18Q6 Sir,--Agreeably to to the intimation given in my letter, under date the Slst ultimo, I proceed to communicate to von the view which has been taken here of the official note of his Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, ad dressed to yon on the 11th September last. If the British Government had contented itself with simply announcing, in that note, its determination no longer to treat with that of the United States, on the intercourse with the British Colonies, however unexpected by us such a determination`would have been, we might have felt onrsOges bound silently to acquiesce in the declared pleasure of his Britannic Majesty's Government. Two parties, at least, are necessary to the conduct of any nego tiation ; and if one absolutely declines treating, the other, of ne cessity, must abide by his decision. But the British Govern ment, not satisfied with merely communicating the fact of its, resolution no longer to negotiate with the United States for an arrangement of the colonial trade, which might reconcile the interests and wishes of both parties, brings forward new prin ciples, to some of which we cannot subscribe, and seeks to cast upon us the blame of the want of success which has attended past endeavours _to affect that object, which we cannot admit. The frankness which has ever characterized all our correspondence with the British Government requires,, that our objections to those principles, and our dissent from such an imputation, should be respectfully stated. In doing this, - I will begin with a brief statement of certain general propositions, which are supposed to be incontestable. BROWN, MAYOR. A T a COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the CHAMBER of the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LON DON, on THURSDAY, the 11th day of January, '1827, RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY, That in the recent Death of His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK and ALBANY, his Majesty's nest brother, this Court are deeply sensible that his Majesty anil the Royal Family have been deprived of, an affectionate relative, to whom they were justly attached by the' nearest ties ; that the nation have to mourn the loss of one who, by his condescension and urbanity to all classes, and by his unremitting endeavours to promote those objects of benevolence and public utility, which are• the.pride and glory of England, has merited and secured the praise of his country; and e specially, that the Army have lost a Commander-in-Chief, who; by his constant attention to the discipline of the service, and the comfort of the soldier, has, in an unparalleled degree, raised the character of the British aos„ I hat this Court most sincerely condole with his Majesty, and the Members of his Illustrious Douse, together with his Majesty's faithful subjects, in their affliction under this bereavement. WOODTHORPE. I. That both parties were willing to abolish all discriminating duties on either side. In a few days, with i plateß, 4to. Entertaining such opinions as have been herein stated, in re gard to the power of commercial regulation, the Government of the United States has always conceived that the trade between them and the British Colonies was open to all considerations which are applicable to any other Trade, and that it was consequently a tit subject of arrangernenthy treaty, or in any manner4y which any other trade might be regulated. Great Britain may, un doubtedly, if she plea!es, deny to herself the advantage of consult ing with Foreign Powers, through the accustomed organs of in tercourse, as to the conditions on which, with mutual benefit, the trade may be carried on. But if she chooses to restrict herself to the single mode of regulating it by Act of Parliament, it cannot be admitted either that such restriction is a necessary consequence from the nature of colonies, or, as will be hereafter shewn, that it is in accordance with the practice of the British Government itself. 9.. That the British Goverament was satisfied, and actually offered, that the intercourse should continue restricted to the rect voyage, as it then was by the respective laws of the pinks ; that is to say, that an American vessel, clearing from the Briti4 West Indies with their produce for ar American port, should h. required to land her cargo - in such port; an& en the other hand, a British vessel, clearing from the United States, wit! their produce, for a colonial port, should be required to land het cargo in such port. But, thirdly, the point on which the parties could not then agree, WAS, that the United States insisted that American pro duce should be admitted into the British colonial ports, upon the same terms as similar produce received from any where...else ; that is, either from a British possession or any foreign country. Such an equal admission of our produce was contended for, in pursuance of the enactments of the Congress of the United State.• in the Act of March, 1828.

This day was publ►shed, price 4s.—allowed to purchasers, A*CATALOGUE of upwards of 7,000 Articles in ENGLISH THEOLOGY, ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY, and SERMONS; being the most complete collection which has for same time been on Sale. It comprises all the BEST and MOST USEFUL WORKS in these Classes, and many that are both curious and uncommon. The British Secretary of State alleges that, in 1822, the British Government opened the colonial intercourse to us, and withheld it from all other Powers ; that, in effect, we thereby acquired a monopoly in the supply of the consumption of the British West Indies ; but that Great Britain did not preclude herself from the right to open her colonial ports to other nations, whenever it might suit her purposes. We did not ask that Great Britain should shut her colonial ports to other Powers. The occlusion was, no doubt, in consequence of the estimate which she made of her own interests, without any intention to confer an exclusive benefit upon us, as the opening of them by the Act of 1825 is ac cording to a similar estimate. We have no right to complain, and never have complained, that Great Britain seeks for the United Kingdom and for its colonies the best markets for sale and pur chase, any more than we anticipate any complaint from her, if, when we are driven from her colonial ports, we should exercise the like liberty. If she has reason to felicitate hergelf that, by the course of events, she is enabled to draw from other sources those supplies which her colonies had been in the habit of obtaining from the United States, we have, perhaps, occasion for equal con gratulation, that, by the same or other events, markets have been opened to us, which may be found ample substitutes to those which it is her pleasure to close against us. As to the monopoly which it is alleged we have enjoyed, it should be observed that the relative position of the British West India colonies to the United States, and the nature of their• re • spective climates and productions, are eminently favourable to a mutually beneficial commerce between them. From their proxi mity to the United States, they find their convenience in draviing from us those perishable and bulky articles which they want, rather than from more distant countries. If the West India Islands were situated on the European instead of the American side of the Atlantic Ocean, and Europe could supply as cheaply andsabundantly the same description of articles as the United States, the British West India Colonies would prefer obtaining their necessary supplies from Europe. The United States con tribute to other West India Colonies in as great extent, and share in the navigation between them as largely, as they do in their intercourse with those of Great Britain. This is the effect of the law - of. proximity. If it be a monopoly, it bas emanated from no human power, but from a much higher source. Far from repining at the dispensation of Providence, nations, contented with the portion of his bounty which has been allotted to each, would do well to acquiesce, with cheerful submission, in the ar rangements of the Universe, which, in his wisdom, he has thought proper• to order. The United States have never made it a subject of serious com plaint that, for the indulgence which their laws have granted of unrestricted liberty of importation or exportation of whatever is produced or manufactured in the United States, nr in the British Colonies, respectively, they have been met, in return, with a long catalogue of prohibitions and restrictions, including some of the staple commodities on both sides. Although they have de sired the abolition of those restrictions, they have left it to the sole and undisturbed consideration of the British Government, whether the prosperity of their colonies themselves, would not be best promoted by the application to the intercourse, of those libe ral principles, which have obtained the sanction of the present en lightened age. The Government of the United States has con tented itself with insisting that, circumscribed as the trade has been, according to the pleasure of the British Government, the regulation of the navigation employed in it should be founded on principles of reciprocity, so as to allow fair competition between the vessels of the two countries.

Thus the two parties amicably separated, I repeat, with the per; feet understanding of-each that the negociation in which such en couraging progress had been made should be resumed, and brought to a final conclusion, at some future day. To that renewed nes gociation the United States had invariably looked, -.with the con fident hope that, when the parties again met, they - would be able to reconcile the only difference which obstructed an adjust meat. They never could have dreamt that, without the smiles' previous notice, and at the very moment of the arrival in Eng land of a new American Minister, fully prepared to resume the negociation, it was to be suddenly arrested, and the new ground, far the first time, taken, that the subject itself was of a nature to admit of no negociation. Entire confidence being reposed on the resumption of the negociation, as the means on which both parties relied, upon the recall of Mr. Rush, in the spring of 1825, Mr. King was sent to replace hint, fully empowered to treat on al; the subjects (including the colonial trade) of the previous negoci ation. He was instructed, in the first instance, as being a sub ject of more pressing urgency, to invoke the interposition of the British Government to remove the impediments to the execution of the St. Petersburgh Convention, which had been created by th,. British Commissioner at Washington ; and he was informed that his instructions on the objects of the suspended negociation should be transmitted to him in time again to open it. They would have been so transmitted, but that, upon his arrival in England, in the month of June, 1825, he was indisposed ; :that he leant that his Britannic Majesty was ill, and that Mr. Canning was also un well ; and, moreover, that the British Cabinet was dispersed over the Island, or upon the Continent, in the pursuit of h e alth and rie creation. Happily, his Britannic Majesty, and his principal So-- cretary of Foreign Affairs were restored to health. The British Cabinet did not re-assemble until the autumn of 1825, and Mr. King, unfortunately, remained feeble and unwell up to the period of his return to the United States, in consequence of his indispo sition. If his instructions were not forwarded to hint, it was because it was known that he was engaged in discussions re specting the St. Petersburgh Convention, and it was believed that his languid condition did not admit of his entering upon the dis charge of-the more sirdnotts duty of resuming the suspended - ..5-gociation. gociation. It would now seem to have been altogether uselesa to have transmitted them, the British Government having made up their mind, from the passage of the Act of Parliament of July, 1825, to close the door of negociation. Such a purpose was never hinted to the Government of the United States. On the contrary, as late as 22d March, 1826, Mr. Vaughan ad dressed an official note to this department, in which he stated, " I have received instructions from his Majesty's Gavernment to acquaint you, that it is preparing to proceed in the important ne gociations between that country and the United States, now placed in the hands of the American Minister in London ; Mr. Huskisson has been already introduced to Mr. R. King, as his Majesty's Plenipotentiary, and the Minister of State, having the department of Foreign Affairs, has received his Majesty's com mands to associate Mr. Addington, late his Majesty's Charge d'Affaires in America, with Mr. Huskisson, as joint Plenipoten tiary on the part of Great Britain. The negociations will, therefore, be forthwith resumed, old it will be for the Government of the United States to 'udgs;" whether, considering the state of the health of Mr. fl , :j us Xi ng , which Mr. Canning laments to say has been, sk ice hi s arr i va l in England, far from satisfactory, it will join any other negotia tor in the commission with him." If :tie British Government had then intended to bar all negociation, in respect to the Colo nial Trade, no occasion could have been more fit than the trans mission of that note, to eannaunicate such intention. So far from any such purpose b e i ng d ec l are d, it is formally notified to the American Government, that the British Government is pre paring to proceed in the important negociations, &c., and thatl an was hKeainitgh, verbally in wou l di t n h f a o t r informed, d u thatkes neservice into consideration. the negociations will he forthwith resumed (or course including ith Mr. blic the colonial trade.) It appears from the same note, that the British Government was perfectly acquainted with the feeble con dition of Mr. King, and therefore made the friendly suggestion of associating some other person with him to conduct the should prepare, as soon as practicable, to renew the negociation, and negc t hi ne go ciation. ° t o n t the he state Ai r associatedo f ‘ra lll g r .

It is the undoubted right of every nation to prohibit, or allow, foreign commerce with all, or any part, of its dominions, wherever situated, and whatever may be their denominations, parental or colonial, or the modes of Government in the respective parts. It may prescribe for itself the conditions on which the foreign trade is tolerated ; but these conditions are not obligatory upon other nations, unless they, in some form, assent to them. All such conditions, in respect to foreign Powers, are in the nature of proposals, which they are as free to accept or decline, as the other party was to tender them. If a nation has colonies, it may unquestionably reserve to itself, exclusively, the right of trading with them.

But, it cannot be admitted, that, in regard to foreign Powers, there is any thing in the nature and condition of colonies, or in the relation which subsists between them and the country to which they belong, which distinguishes the power of regulating their commerce from that which is exercised over the parent country. That parent country may have its motives of jealousy or policy for a rigorous exclusion of all intercourse between its colo nies and foreigners. But the moment it chooses to relax and open its colonial ports to a foreign trade, whether the relaxation is moved by a temporary or permanent interest or necessity, the right is acquired by foreign States, to examine and judge for themselves, the conditions on which they are proposed to he ad mitted, and' to reject or accept them accordingly. This right of foreign nations is conceded, in the official note which I am con sidering, when the colonial power is urged, by the pressure of immed►ate wants, to throw open, fur a time, its colonial ports, but is denied when it chooses to open them permanently. The right, in both instances, rests upon the same ground, and that is that in all commercial exchanges, national or individual, the parties to them are equal, and have the same independent power of judg ing each for himself; and there is, much more reason, on account of the treater duration of - the interest, that the right in • question should be exercised in a permanent than a temporary trade. All commerce is founded upon mutual convenience and advan tage. And this principle is equally applicable to a commerce with colonial possessions, and with the country to which they be long, or to any other country. In trading with any colonies we have no more imagined that a privilege had been gratuitously con ceded to us, than that we had made such a concession to the colo nial power, in allowing its colonies to- trade with the United States. It cannot, therefore, be admitted, that any other com pensation is due front the United States to Great Britain, for the permission to trade with her colonies, than that which springs from the mutual exchanges, which are the object of that and of all commerce. If the prosecution of any given trade be found upon experiment, unprofitable to either party, that party will no longer pursue it ; and we may safely confide in the discernment of indi viduals to repress or stimulate a venture according -to the loss or gain which may be incident to it. The British Government, fully sensible ,to this salutary law, was supposed, in the recent liberal commercial policy which it professed, to have intended, by the example of her homage, to have inculcated its observance upon all nations.

" THE NEW HOBBY," OR A RIDE TO LISBON. (TIIN)- .4 TUE VICAR AND MOSES." The idea that the admission into colonial ports of foreign yes. eels, is a boon granted by the parent country, that is, a benefaction without equivalent, is as new as it is extraordinary. In that inter course which has been allowed by the British Government be tween its colonies and the United States, never fully opened, some times entirely closed, and when reluctantly admitted, fettered by numerous restrictions, we recognise any thing hut a boon. The leading motive which appears to have actuated the British Go vernment, in respect to the exchange of American and colonial pro duce, has been to sell here, what could be sold, if sold at all, no where else, at least so profitably, and to buy of us exactly so much as she could obtain no where else, at least so profitably. On one side, whenever the trade has been open, there have been DO restrictions, as to the objects of exportation from the United States to the British Colonies. An enumeration here of the nu merous prohibitions and restrictions on the British side, upon or , ticks both of colonial and American produce, would extend this paper to a most unreasonable length. And with respect to the transportation of the subjects of this limited trade, the aim of the British Government has been, by all its regulations, to engross a disproportionate share. This intention was clearly developed in the treaty of 1794, and has been adhered to, with steady perseverance, during the thirty two intervening years. Such au intercourse deserves to be cha racterised in any other way than that of a British boon to the I United States. On this Portugal horse All the world gets across, All the world who can manage the hack— For many, we know, Have an itching to go, But to mount haven't got quite the knack. The position now assumed, that colonial trade with foreign States, is not a fit subject for negotiation with those States, but belongs exclusively to the regulation of the parent country, is en tirely new. It is not sustained by the practice of other Powers having colonies. 1t is not sustained by the practice of Great Britain herself; and this brings me to the consideration of what has passed between the two Governments in relation to this trade. They negotiated on that subject, to go no further back, in the year 1794. Their negotiations resulted in the 12th article of the treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, which was then con cluded. The very fact of treating, between two independent States, implies the right in each of considering and determining the mutual propositions which may be offered. The two Powers again negotiated on the same subject in 1796, and, because the Government of the United States did not conceive that the con cessions of Great Britain, contained in the 12th article of the treaty of 1794, were equivalent to the concessions on their side, it was annulled. They again negotiated in 1815, and actually entered into stipulations, which, as you well know, form a part of the convention of the Sd July, of that year, for the regula tion of the British East India trade; but, not being able to come to any agreement, in - regard to the British West India trade, it was left to thqwo countries to regulate this subject by their re spective laws. 'On that occasion it was stated by Lord Castle reagh that the British Government would not regard as un friendly any measure which the United States might think it ex pedient to put into operation for the regulation of that trade. And, to guard against all misconception, it is moreover expressly provided, in the treaty itself, that " the intercourse between the United States and his Britannic Majesty's possessjons in the West Indies, and on the continent of North America, shall not be af fected by any of the provisions of this article, but each party shall emain in the complete possession of its rights, ',vial respect to such an intercourse." With what propriety, then, can it be of s firmed, that, "to withhold from the ship of 4 country having no llonies, trading front the mother country to a foreign stata, under a regular treaty between the two countries, the right of clearing for another port belonging to that mother country, in another part of the world, is an injury"—an injury, "undoubtedly in deviation from the spirit of the treaty ?" The regular treaty re ferred to, excludes, by its positive terms, all regulating of th e intercourse between the United States and the British Colonies i n the West Indies. And yet it is contended, that Great B r it a i n has the right, according to the spirit of the treaty, not only to the benefit of the application of its provisions, to a subject which it alone professes to regulate, but to have them applied also to another subject, which is expressly declared not to be regulated, and as to which both parties are left in the "complete possession" of all their rights. Anti this is insist e d u p on , i n b e h a lf o f G reat Britain, without any corresponding privilege on the part of the United States: If the treaty be competent to carry a British vessel through the British West India ports to the United States, and eke versa, whilst under - similar circumstances, those ports are to remain shut, by British authority, against a vessel of the United States, it would equally entitle such British vessels to pass through the ports of any and every country upon the globe, to and from the United States. The United States might, with out any violation of the convention of 1515, interdict all inter course with the British West Indies, direct or circuitous. And surely the right to adopt the stronger and more comprehensive, includ es th e c h o i ce o f the weaker measure, that of prohibiting to be done, by British vessels, what Gr ea t B r itain prohibits, ti n d er analogous circumstances, American vessels from doing. It is al leged that that right, from the enjoyment of which we are inter dicted by British regulation; nevertheless existed in Great Britain Ge up dobbin, &c.

It cannot be admitted, that the fact that the United States have no colonies, varies the principles applicable to an intercourse with the British Colonies. In the consideration of the condition on which a foreign trade shall be tolerated, it is of no conse quence what name, or what government, a State may choose to bestow on the several parts of its dominions. Some of the terri tories of the United States are governed by peculiar local forms altogether different from those of the States of the Confederacy : but we have never contended that this anomaly ought to affect the regulation of our commercial intercourse with Foreign Powers. A country having no colonies may be so situated as to afford the same kind of productions, as both another country and its colonies. Aud there may be a greater difference in the nature and value of the productions of two different countries, neither of which have colonies, than exists between those of a country and its colonies, and another which has no colonies. It might as well be argued, that the fact of twenty four States com posing this Union, entitles it to demand concessions. from all other Powers whose territory is not divided into an equal outli ner of similar parts, or that the United Kingdom, being constituted by the union of three kingdoms, would be justified in demanding upon that ground, from any Power, comp ose d only of a single kingdom, more than it granted. In all commercial inter course between different Powers, the question resolves itself into one of profit and loss. If it be the interest of the par ties that the trade should be allowed, it is altogether imma terial how those territories are governed or divided ; both have an equal right to judge of the conditions of the intercourse. It would be most strange, if the fact of a Foreign State, Sweden, colony, no m a tt er h ow un i mportant, for exampl e , possess i n g a entitled such State to treat on different principles with Great Bri tain, in respect to an intercourse with her colonies, from the United States. _ . _ But abrOad there's a tale That much doth prevail, From• Stephen's "menage ; " where we meet, There's doughty C—g—ye, Our "riders " must leave As he's apt to be losing his seat. Ge up, dobbin. We did not suppose, whatever may be the general terms of its enactments, that it was intended to be applied to the United States, until, at least, the experiment of the renewed negotia tion should have been tried, and should have failed. We enter tained that supposition because both parties, by all their corre spondence and public acts, appeared to regard the renewed nego ciation as the means of settling the existing difference.. We had other cogent reasons for that supposition. If the British Go vernment intended irrevocably to abide by the conditions which with a notification to r iY m ße it i i mt o is n mh a u s nAil m 7n ig te4iii ht be necasiary to enable that it the Act of Parliament prescribed, we believed, not only ter would have been in structedtit9;,u; ll clearly a c y a t t v o , t e og b ic b s t: e e t m e s n p t u h re :a hh tli t ei c an t i l df a i o e l its provision,. This information to a foreign Government could not be deemed altogether unreasonable, in respect to an Act of Parliament ex tremely complicated, spread out into eighty-six sections, besides various tables, and which was accompanied by a contemporaneous act relating to the same subject; also containing numerous pro visions ; and both referring to other Acts of Parliament, the titles of some of which are not even recited. Not only was no suek information ever communicated, but you will perceive, from the accompanying correspondence with Mr. Vaughan, in the last month, that, up to that time, he was not provided with instruc tions to afford a satisfactory answer to the inquiry, whether, ac cording to the British interpretation of the Act of Parliament , American ve sse l s ma y t ra d e b e t ween th e British Colonies and foreign coun t r i es , o th er th an th e U n it e d Ki ng dom, in man ner,like and charg es impo se d, e ith er by the local authorities or with British vessel s ; and whether all discriminating the g duties tish Parli amen t, b e t ween v essels of the United States and British vessels, have been abolished? The importance of the latter inquiry was increased by infor anation which had reached us, that, late l y , during the present year, the Government of Nova Scotia had passed an Act, by Yet all in this plight, I do not think quite, We should in a hurry despise ; There's W—ks, though in vain He handles the rein, He'll work 'em with light companies.
