earful and cheap goads, suitable for the million, wham a
large trade may bs expected. After referring to the Alf-
forenoes of opiaioa between Mr. Weiss and the other via
praetor'. on thew pronto, the report proceed' to say :
Fortunately the anal settlement of the duty on the pert of
England was left to a firm and just negotiator who had
bawd patiently all that the different interests bad to env
per themselves, and who hal honestly tried md wet for.
tenetely succeeded an striking a rod bargain for hie
country. It was true that they had and eneended in

the. the guarantee of a large future trade with !ream
All the different deputatons who had be over to
France looked upon the treaty se the first step ci Louis
Napoleon's eiti.protectionist policy. Already a movement
was set ou foot to bring the new tariff into force at an
earlier period than what is stipulated for in the treaty, and
should the French vernment decide to make any alter.
anon in the original stipulation of the treaty, the publica-
tion of the new tariff might poesibly be delayed. A striking
feature of this treaty was, that those whom interest it most
deeply concerned had been consulted beforehand am to what
they thought of A. Re believed it was the first treaty of
commerce between two great nations where the advice of
the public had been sought, and where the details had
nearly bees timed on the information obtained by such
public consultation. As to Mr. Cobden's labour, it was
bey.,nd all praise ; and when the nation came to a full nn-
derstrooling of this treaty. the great apostle of free trade
would to acknowledged a second time aa the benefactor of
his cor.itry."
The report was adopted, and at the close of the meeting
cordial cotes of thous were accorded to Mr. Cobden and
Itr. Weise.
