being enabled to assure. our Readers, that the Terms
9f it are as favourable, to the Interest's of this Coun-
try as could be desired. It is not. 63n.fiffed to "an

Country and Russia, and to a compensa. ticn for, the
Losses sustained by 1-I.ls..MaJEsTy's. SUbjea.e, in

alscrrefritains-a precise Statement of the system to
be permanently established between Great Britain

fain, and whith are splermily recognized in this
Convenlion, and declared to be •tho Rule of Condutl
to be invariably observed between the two Coun-
tries, when one may be in a Neutral and the, other
in a Belligerent State. Oar Readers will recollea
the most important of those principles are—the
Right of Seizing- -Enciniei Property, and"Sucli-Arti-

cies a are considered as contrebantie de'Querre on
board of Neutral Ships, and the Right of • Search-
/ ing Neutral Ships sailing under Convoy. Both
the.,e principles are distinttly admitted.—The first

without any quali4eation—the second subjett only
to the restriCtion of the -exercise of the Right to
Ships belonging to the State ; the Rights of

vateers in all other cases :-cmain as before. Most
important Regulations are established for the pre_
venting of Enemies Ships sailing under Neutral
Colours, and for providing, as effeecually as the
nature of the case will adlint, , against those abuses
of the Neutral Flag which have been so justly a
subjea of complaint on the part of this Country.

The Danish and Swedish Governments are in-
vited to accede to this Convention, as the price of
the restitution of their Ships and Islands.
We believe that there is scarcely" an example of
a business of so complicated and extensive a nature
being arranged in so short a period, -to the entire
saiisfaaion of the Parties concerned.
