FOREIGN OFFICE, Aug. u, 1924.
SIR: In pursuance of what sta ted YOU i'm our
late conference, have the bonor to- address
you ON the subject of the qualified ratification, on
the part of your Governments of the treaty for the
more electua suppression Of the slave trade which
was concluded and signed in the mouth of March
last, by you and bis Majesty's peulpotcntiaries.
His majestys government have given the most
anxious and deliberate consideration to this subject,
and if the resuItnf that consideration has been to
decide that they canDot advise his Majesty to ac-
cept the American ratification, Notwithstanding
the arguments alleged byyou,i in the of your
government, in favour Of such acceptance,) | en-
treat you to- believe it is from any dinini shed
sense Of the Importance Of the matter which that
treaty relates.
Nor do they at all undertake the desire which as
you have assured me, and as they really believe,
was felt by the President of the United States to
adopt the provisions of the treaty, such ,s it was
transmitted to America. Bot the result is not the
less incong- nieIit.
treaty ofwhich the basis laid in propositions
framed by the Aulerican government, was consider
ed here, little likely be made subject of re-
viewed discussion in America, that not a moment wa
lost in rafying it, the part Of his Maesty; nd his
Majes,ys ratification ready be exchanged

trumpet and blows it all through the
city; and when our boys had muster
ed. we reused it into the street 10 a.
bout fifteen minutes, and there we
left it.
This was done in the; face OF day,
and the citizens stood looking on and
dare not say word: this is what
call a real land of liberty. There
are some poor people here who have
been turned out Of their houses. by
the d lawyers, only for not pay
ing rent. they talk now Of righting
them, and then pull down the Jail,
which is disgrace to a free country.
So [ hope you will come over as soon
as possible; no matter about the cow,

give my love to Kitty O'Flanagan,
from your loving brother. &c.

ter, SEPT. 81.

The following is an exact copy
with few corrections in the ortho-
sraphy) of a letter, found in the street
on Sunday morning. As it is some
what complimentary TO our city, you
NAV think it worthy of publication;
of course emitting or changing all
names.
Dear Brother: I wrote you soon
after we arrived i'm New York. letting
YOU know how liked the.land OF Ii
berty: however it was not so much
better than Limerick; after all, l
was obliged to work for living, and
because / got into little row, they
took away my money, and kept me
in Jail two weeks; soon got tired
of that country, and have como to
the southern parts. like things
much better here, and advise you to
come to Mobile as soon as you can.
and try to get Phelim and David to
come too. This is the best country
in the world, for all but potatoes, and
they don't growihere, except what
comes from New York, and they ant
good for nothing. Whiskey is enly
sixpence quart, and you can get
four shillings for whole days work.
I don't work bat half the time, and
have plenty to eat. and something
left for night too. But the best thing
of all is, people never have to pay
debts here as they do in Ireland; you
have only to go before Justice. and
he fixes your papers, and figures it
out, all handsome, just like a mer-
chant, and soon makes it cut, that
instead of being in debt. your Gre.
ditors owe you, and then you cue
them for it, and put in the paper
s.John O'Twistem against his credi-
tors" and tell them the Squire has
appointed such day to hear them
and to come up, if they have any
thing to say for themselves. There
is six or seven of them in the papers
every week. A man sued his credi-
tors four times, and beat them every
time, and has got trusted most enough
to sue again. There is no shame a.
bout it, for you don't cheat any body,
it is only a way to pay off old debts,
and people do it here when their Gre
slitors don't owe them more than a
hundred dollars, this is the reason
why people are so independent here,
for il one man tries to make another
pay what he owes him, he laughs at
him, for il sshe takes the benefit as
they call it here, no body can touch
him: and BESIDES it helps poor peo-
pie to get along without working so
hard. and have plenty to drink too.
There is excellent company to be
found here, aud we do just as we
please. The other day some wicked
fellow put up building on ground,
which every body said ought to be-
long to our church, right opposite
