THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

We have received the following additional article
to the treaty signed at Washington, April 7, 1862,
between her Britannic Majesty and the United
States of America for the suppression of the African
slave trade. Signed at Washington, Febrnary 17,
1863. Ratifications exchanged at London, April 1,
1863 :

Whereas by the First Article of the Treaty between her
Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and the United States of America, for the
suppression of the African slave trade, signed at Washing-
ton on the 7th of April, 1862, it was stipulated and
agreed that those ships of the respective navies of
the two High Contracting Parties which shall
be provided with special instructions for that pur-
pose, as thereinafter mentioned, may visit such mer-
chant vessels of the two nations as may, upon reasonable
grounds, be suspected of being engaged in the African
slave trade, or of having been fitted out for that purpose,
or of having, during the voyage on which they are met
by the said cruisers, been engaged in the African slave
trade contrary to the provisions of the treaty ; and
that such cruisers may detain and send or
carry away such vessels in order that they might be brought
to trial in the manner thereinafter agreed upon : and
whereas it was by the said article further stipulated and
agreed, that the reciprocal right of search and detention
should be exercised only within the distance of two hun-
dred miles from the Coast of Africa, and to the
southward of the thirty-second parallel of north
latitude, and within thirty leagues from the coast
of the Island of Cuba; And whereas the two
high contracting parties are desirous of rendering
the said treaty still more efficacious for its purpose ;—the
plenipotentiaries who signed the said treaty have, in virtue
of their full powers, agreed that the reciprocal right of visit
and detention, as defined in the article aforesaid, may be
exercised also within 30 leagues of the Island of Madagas-
car, within 30 leagues of the Island of Puerto Rico, and
within 30 leagues of the Island of San Domingo.
The present additional Article shall have the same force
and validity as if it had been inserted word for word in the
treaty concluded between the two high contracting parties
on the 7th of April, 1862, and shall have the same dura-
tion as that treaty. It shall be ratified, and the ratifications
shall be exchanged at London in six months from this date,
or sooner if possible.
In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have
signed the same, and have thereunto affixed the seal of
their arms.

Done at Washington, the 17th day of February, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
three.

LORD DUNDREARY.—It is worth recording, what
we know to be a fact, that when this eccentric nobleman, on
audience
Tuesday evening last, presented himself before a Liverpool
, every seat in the dress circle, at ss. each, was
already taken for one month, while 1,200 stalls, at 6s. each,
had been sold. There is no parallel to this in the theatrical
anna's of Liverpool. It will be the same thing at Edin-
burgh, We fancy, on the 25th May next.—Scotsman.
