intended to The U. States The object is to cncour
age supply of tho West Indies, from Canada. No.
va Scotia, and New Foundland. Another THING is
worthy of attention. s'America (Mr Herres saws.
meaning the U. States had eati,efv and uncondtion
atty withdrawn all her pretensions, and England now
stood upon the footing which she lcgslated upon
this subject IN 325 :"
These pretensions thus Internationally uittdra,an
had been ever insisted upon by the u States from
the foundation of the Government, and were based
upon right as contradistnguislled from mere Jaeor-
| whether the Government has done well or wisely,
in relnquishing those pretensions absoluteyip con-
tossing that it regards admission to trade with the
West Indies boon only which ENGLAND NAV take
back at any momen'-t is not for us to decide
When however we find all the Administrations from
Washingtoh's to John Quincy Adams, on one side
other we are apt to conclude that the former were
right and the Hero and his little Secretary so prone
to consult his popularity .Grst--were wrong
But suppose us mistaken in this opinion and that all
has been done for the honour well as the interests
of the States-what credit is due to Mr. McLancP
Where arc the difficulties largely spoken of which
he had to encounter in the negotiation? He had no.
thing, it from Mr. Herres, to do, but to with
set up He did nothing, but subscribe to such condi-
tons, as England proposed An arduous task indeed!
Yet how has the worthy gentleman been pufied-
puffed-pufed! All the negotiations effected in our
time put together, and all the ambassadors have not
been pulled so furious by and so much! Nav series
of these putting letters, purporting to be written by
an American in England, bears strong internal eyi
dence of having been indited by the Minister him

between him and Lord Aberdeen which could have
been known to himself and Lord Aberdeen only,
