ties uf the abolition u this traffic which were IN ofee al
the date OF The 60 nmaacatons OF Lord PalmeTston and
Lord Aberdeen. 1t Is now known that the combined
treaty ON tins subject Is more extensive IN It's operations
and more minute IN some oihe details Of lis execution
than the separate ieaes with France, which preceded
II. and equal indefinite IN the durauonoi Its obligations

It'll THIS previous declaration madehy enc oi the par
Tics 10 the quauPie treaty, concerning lis operations
the American government cannot shut their eyes TO ihe
trnc position. The moral effect which slch UNION OF
five great powers, two OF which emlnently maritime
but three Of which have never perhaps, had vessel en-
gagged IN that traic, is calculated TO produce upon tn
United States aud upon other nations, which, like them
may he mdspuscd tOttese combined movements, thougl
1t may he regretted, furnishes no just cause OF complaint
But the object assumes another aspect When In are
told by one OF the parties that their vessels are 10 be l

docs mol believe that the high powers, contracting par
ties 10 his treaty, have any wish to compel Inc lntt
States by force 10 adapt Their measures 10 lis provisions
