value to the ocaelueicei of a cominetci +1 treaty with France,
Its general tendeacy would be to lay broad and deep
tousdatings is commas interest wed in friendly la-
tareourse for the confirmation of the andeable ro-
la:100B that ea happily exist between the two
conntrtee ; and, while thus making a provision lor tee fawn,
which would proves/rely become more and more solid and
efficacious, Its signfilosoce at the present mo.sat, whet the
condition of some parts of the continest is critical, would be
at once understood, and would powerfully re-assure the
public mild is. the various countries of Europe. On this
termini her Majesty's government are prepared to entertain
a negotiation on such a footing as will, they trust, give pro-
mise not oaly of a favoursble but of a speedy levee. The
cheer. which, on their part, It will be proposed to make
will not Le treated by them as escritfas, unless, indeed, is
• fiscal poMt of view, of British interests, to be compensated
by similar mediate on the side of France. For it la their
Axed belief that the most sabliantial interests of the two
amostriss will is general he promoted as well by what her
Majemy'a government might offer, as by what they ere to n-
aive. They will be limited in what they design or sdopt
midi by two osanklarations . the neessaity for raising a ro-
wans etallcient fir the purposes of the e %piss, end the duty
of tusking an equitable adjustment of burdens as between
commodi•ies that more or lees directly oceepele with one an-
other In the general market,. At the same time her Mvjesty's
government wish the government of Franco to enderitand
that they are about to give, by the steps which they now
sethoriee yet to take, o small earnest of the value they set
upon stratigthosing sad Wending their relations with that
country. For the effect of your instruetioes will

anemias of the goverment. They ere selected then for
relief, in cart, indeed, upon emsaisivial rounds, but in part
also beam.* of the collateral effects which we anticipate from
the ciwinaion of the treaty. Bee Majesty's government
oonsidir thee in meaaurieg together the changes to be reci-
procally made in It. t +riff. of the two countrier, it is equitable
to take into view the relative es well ea the slatilate asters
of those tariff,. The rule of the French tariff is high ditty,
in general, with a large memo's of absolute mobibiticer
The tale of the British tariff is. low dory, in general, with •
number of articles absolutely free; and likewise, with a small
number of molt important excepeions, of articles upon which
high duties; are imposed for fiscal percepts, Taking these em
the respective potato of departure on the two sides., her
Majesty's government are pestered to admit, ee appears &leo
to be the opinion of the French governineat, that the proper
