AMERICAN TREkTY.

e,
Times, of July 81 that formal notice of the
rejection OF the Treaty between England and A.
merica has been received By government. The
chief objection that is anderitosd to be made is
the right of feafching American veiIels. Private
information has, however, lead us To filppofe,
that this right might have been waved on the
part of the Britifh Government, if the Americana
would have fufered Englifh agents to refide in
their porte, to fee to the bona fde unloading of
the Colonial produce of the Weit-Iuda nands,
prior to its being ihiPped for Europe.
