we presented to readers Yesterday, but had no
room then Tor any accompany ing remarks Treaty of
Commerce, Friendship sc. which was NEGOTIATED in
December last, by MIR. Clay, the part of the United
States and MIR Canaz, Envoy Exraordinary and Min

40 art of tI,iI
ratified by and with the advice and consent of the Sc,
nate 1t is believed unanimously given at the last SEES
sion, aud having bccn subsequently ratified BY the other
contracting party goes into immediate opcration
Its leading features
1St. The equalization of tonnage duties mnosel ~,
the vessels OF the two countries;
"a. reciprocal liberty Of importation and exrorta-
pn IN the vessels of the respective parties of lacvet
may 10y law, be imported exported in native vessels
without reference to the country of origin or produc
ton of the casru
And Srd. mutual reception in the ports of each q
uie pro~nce ot the two countries, subject no hghe
duty than similar produce of the most favored nation
! liable 10 pay.
The second feature, above described is founded or
the new principle 10 Which lately adverled. wheI
we promulgated the Danish Treaty Ii has been adopt
ed IN tins instance, without any exception; SD tina
whatever may be imported exported in the vessels
ei'her party from or to any Pat IF Tie Globe, may,
like manner be imported exported i'm the vessels
the other party. All restrictions upon the navirao
OF either country; all selfish provisions of law amin
ut enSrossmeDt on the side and exclusion ON IN
other, are thus entirely swep away, and free and fa
competition is allowed between the ships of the tvs
countries vessel of the Central Republic in ou
ports, VIII be received and treated own; and on
vessels val be received and treated their ports
their own beyond the application ofthis principle W.
can hardly imagine any impro, emcnts in Treaties OF
laws regulating the navigation of nations in tlot
coinmerclal intercourse. We hope the treaty vii
prove beneficial 10 both pares, in its praclica
OPERATION as II has been satisfactory its conclusion
and that II will tend 10 intercourse viii
Republic in whose welfare the u. States have
particular reason TO feel the most lively interest.
