And for many long years I've increasingly

reasonably be presumed, might give effect

by authorship you TO secure these objects
as the grounds of an armistice, it was not
| intended to restrict you to any precise form,
in which it should be done. 1t is not par
ticularly necessary that the several points
should be specially provided for in the con-
vention stipulating the armistice. 4 clear
and distinct understanding with the British
government on the subject of impressment,
comprising in it the discharge of men alrea-
dy impressed, and on future blockades, if
the orders in council are revoked, is all that
is Indispensable. The orders in council be-
ing revoked, and the proposed understan-
ding on the other points. that is, on blockadcs
and impressment, being first obtained, in a
manner, though informal, to admit II no mis-
take or disagreement hereafter, the instru-
ment providing for the armistice may as
sumo general form, especially if more =

as. The armistice shall not cease without
a previous notice by one to the other party

Gle to an accommodation which consists
merely of form, securing in safe and sa-

Of the United States in these two great and
