since he left office The following extract from
his speech relates more Immediately 10 the Uni

intense interest year or two back:
ave obtained treaties with nearly every Amc-
rican State except the United States. Additional
treaties were perfected with some others of The
powers of Europe. 1t was intended to move even
| farther. When the treaty with France was sign
cd. il contained an article under which England
and France agreed TO make application 10 other
Euronean maritime powers To enter into the con-
tract Application was made accordingly To Aus
ria, Prussia and Russia, powers which signed
the treaty of AK la Chapclle, under which il was
agreed that every discouraScmcn! should be a.
fordcd To slave traffic. Well these powers in re-
ply said that they adhered 10 the conditions Of he
treaty but that. as a matter Of etiquette, they
would rathcrbc contracting parties 10 a new trca-
IT, than 10 one already ratified between two To-
reign powcrs The English Government cordial
IL entered into this condition. and new treaty was
| drawn up.
We thought that the opportunity afforded us
was a good one for correcting an omission in the
| treaty with Francc-an omission not of much i'm
porancc as il affects the French Flag, bn of con-
siderable consequence as il affects the flags of
other powers-ihat stipulation Of The treaty,

zone Of miles round Cuba, along the coast of

coast from the latitude Is degrees North 10 the
latitude 10 degrees South. As regarded the new
treaties, We proposed to adopt the larger limits ex
isling in the treaties with Spain ard the Neither
lands. limits which embraced The entire coast Of
/ Africa and The seas of The West Indies The
| French Government consented 10 this alteration,
and we proposed 10 Austria, Russia and Prussia

about minor details, il was agreed to on all sides
and when we were going ont OF Office, il was

few days were required for its engrossment-
Two triiling points certa My remained in abey

similarterms ,oevery European power, and when
all were agreed, We meant 10 go in great Euro
