which he had put, he made inquiry at Inc rorel@h

that treaty, several conferences had taken place
between his noble friend at The head OF The iorei@h
department and The American Minister MI.
Everett upon The subject OF The article IN question.

terrnined as The best course 10 be adopted, that
each country should make such separate repre-

whether, after the refusal Of France 10 raiity The
Treaty, it was desirable that representations
should lie made To the three powers who had mol

Greece. He believed that no vessels belonging
to these countries were engaged in the slave trade,
nor were their flags used in the promotion OF that
traffic. No doubt it would be very desirable that

Escount PalmerSton observed, that as 10 The
