'Thessim-asion and conquestof Portugal wasf
to take place immediately. The agreement &
respecting the transmavine possessions of si
that crown was not to be suspended. The or" ;
ticte forassuming the title of " emperor ofj
the two Americas" is the only article which '
is to be delayedtsintilssthe general peace, or
perhaps longer;
The title, then, was not adopted with a
new to the Bmils. The suspension of this
"micle till the general peace could only be
material in the apprehension that is sooner
executed it might i.si-.\ucnce thesiUnited States
to take part insssithe .warct; expel-haps from the
conviction thnt it could not be executed while
the contest with Englandinterposed her na

Yet this treaty, thus pit-inly .involving our
independence, and selling -us, as Louisiana
had been—sold before,.has made no impres
sion upon the government-of theU nited ::ivtates
And why did itssmake none.? Because it was
imperial France, that usurped this authority
over us. "it was the mighty Napolecn who
thus lmtetsied us away. The transactionthere
sore passes by it] silence, and scarcely ex
cites a momentary attention. We do not be
lieve thatour government has ever ventured
even to request an explanation of this arti
tie.
Ina treaty of still later-date, that with
llolland, France leaves to that wretched rem
nant of a nation a temporary, nominal exisc

Which even this poor boon is granted, that
Ametican property, tempted into the parts
of Holland by the assurances of safety, shall
be cut-rendered to the emperor tobe sold for
his use. si
remainsi- . The treaty contains a distinct and
spcsicifisie article respecting the Portuguese ct
sscssisiom in America. The words of the}
mit-ledmdcdto are; *- the two high con
tracting p0wers ssshall mutually agree upon an ;
eqqsi] puration of the islands, colonics and
outer musmarine possession; of Purtugal."
The lb.-wis therefore in the " mutual" di
