The appointment OF British Commis-
sioners under the convention Of March,
seems rather to show that the British are
not destitute OF some tears upon the sub
iect. Why this parade al this time! why
is the Convention published? the Com
missioners named? But TO show, that Great
Britain has some Suspicion OF the C"nven-
lions beng about to be cancelled, along
with The other acts Of the Constitutional
government? II sbews besides, that Great
Britain Is not willing 10 abandon the Con.
ventios at the pleasure OF one party alone

yention was also carried into effect unier
the Constitutional government-but II IS
disting uished in three memorable polDls
from The British Convention:
!st Our Convention was originally
framed under the kIngly Government; II
SIMPLY required some modl6ca ion TO ex-
plain seme antiquities. The British Con.
ventio0 was formed exclusively under the
last CONSTITUTIONAL government.
81. Our Conysntion was formed at a
momep, when Spain enjoyed tranquility
on her borders.-Tnere was no appear
ance of turesse-pO sign OF her sacrIh. lug
interests 10 the Tears OF offending a power.
IN Irisnd Whereas, the British CUnven-
ton was formed al a mUmen! OF the great
esr iribuIstion--snd when Spain was anx-
Gus 10 proip,tiate the good will OF Great
Britain.
There IS aoether important distinction
