something 20 the other Such, however, il is to be
feared, is not the present The pccu lar nature
ot the power asserted and the conscq uenees which
may be approhended from its exercise make il one
ut an important and momentouS character. Involv
ing, as II does, questions OF high aud dangerous
sovereignty, It may justly he regarded as deeply
endansering the good understanding of the two
countries Ought Her Majesty's Government, then,
under such circumstances, to insist upon its enforce
menti That It will not. the undersigned csnnot
permit himself to doubt. He will therefore continue
to cherish the hope that upon q careful review of
the whole subject, Her Mojesty's Government will
see the importance OF adopting other measures for
the suppression OF the slave trade than those now
proposed, and which will be far better calculated
not only to accomplish the object desired, but To
preserve the friendly relations OF two countries up
on principles consistent with the interest and hon
