Treaty NTH England.

We are happy 10 announce TO our reader
the intelligence which has been received sine
our last.paper of the signature Of Treaty n
London embracing all points Of controversy
between The United States and Great Bri,.:.,
The American Ministers Plenipotentiarv y,
the courts OF London and Paris respectively
Mr.. RUSH and Mr. GALLATIE, signed il on H..
part of the United States, and Messrs. Coz,
BoURS and ROBINSON, on the part Of Gre,
Britain. The negotiation had reference rs
further regulating that portion Of our CON
merce provided for in the convention which
will expire in July next, the general trade Of
the two countries and every other interest and
unsettled point between them, particularly
the questions relating TO The impressment of
seamen--to the fisheries and boundaries. The
treaty has not yet arrived in this country and
therefore the provisions which it contains, will
not probably come to our knowledge for some
time at any rate we are assured by the Ma
tional InteIigencer, it is not mere prolon.
cation of the Convention Of 1915, as had been
supposed.
Ii the instrument contains satisfactory stip-
ulations made in the space of only two months
upon all subjects OF difference heretofore ex-
isting between the two nations--and which
have kindled the flames of war between them
lit will place the United States upon higher
ground than they have ever yet reached. 1t
will place our commerce upon permanent
basis-and for a long period yet to come viii
secure a good understanding between Great
