liament to meet within sixty days. The last cilause
enacts that n. thing in the present fill is to aTelt the

of Parliament.

The Bill to afford relief tc the bona,f:lc holders of
negotiable securities, without notice that they were
given foru usurious consideration, enacts, " That no
bill °feu:bongo or promissery note, that shall be dratca •
r made, shah, though it may have been given for a
usurious consideration, or upon a usurious contract, be
void in the hands of an indorsee for valuable consiaera-
tion, • unless such indomee had, atthe time of discount-
ing or paying such consideration l'or the same, notice:

We have received a copy of the treats, concluded be-
tween this country and the Kingof the Netherland,, for
the more effectual abolition of the Slave Trade, which
was signed at the Hague on the 4th inst., and has been
since duly ratified and exchanged. By the first article
of this treaty, the King of the Netherlands engages,
within eight months from the present time, or sooner
if possible, to prohibit all his subjects, in the most dice-
tual manner, from taking any part whatever in the
trade of slaves; and, in the event of the measures here-
after to be adopted being found insufficient for that
purpose. his Majesty further engages to adopt such
other ones as say anpear best calculated to secure it
The moral attiale provides for the right 'of mutual
search, on the part of both the Contracting Powers ;
and the third explains the mode in which that right
sl3al be exercised. This, -4 s the most important, we

" Ist. That such reciprocalright of visit and deten-
tion shall not be exercised within the Mediterranean
sea, or within the seas in Europe lying without the
Straits of Gibraltar, and which lie to the northward-
of the thirty seventh parallel of north latitude, and also
within, and to the eastward of the meridian of longi-
tude twenty degrees west of Greenwich.
" 2d. That the names of the several vessels furnish-
el with such instructions, the force of each, and the
names of their several commanders, shall he, from time

by the Power istaieg the same to the other High Con-
tracting Party.
" 3d. That the number of ships of each of the
Royal Navies authorized to make such visit as aforesaid,
shall not exceed the number of twelve, belonging to
either of the High Contracting Parties, without the
special consent -of the other High Contracting Forty

" 4tl/. That if at any time it should be deemed ex-
pedient that any ship of the Royal Navy of either of

Navy of the other High Contracting Party, that the
