commissioners the substitute for the right of search,
TO which NJ. Gaizot referred in the correspondence

rons en- the coast OF Africa, OF equal torce by
England ana france; and, it that arrangement be
concluded, TO them the Unlted States are to be in

arrangement would amount to an abandonment Uf
the night OF search, So far as England and France
ale concerned. But il the United States can, by
means OF a squadron, prevent the participation of
American vessels in the slave trade, without the
interchange OF that right, it is certainly difficult to
perceive any Just grounds for believing that France
a power OF much greater naval force than the
United States, cannot be equally successful in pre-
venting the abuses OF the French flag, without al
loving her merchantmen 10 be searched. In other
words, II the antl.slave trade provisions OF the
treaty OF Washington, which do not include the
right OF search, be sufficient for America, similar
provisions, il would seem 70 follow, would prove
sufficient tor France. But, this granted, then comes
the really difficult part of the question II Is not
by the French or the Americans that the slave
trade e carried on; So that any remodelllng OF the
repressve SYSTEM in reference to those countries,
can have very little effect on the slave trade. The
Standards, Portuguese, and Brazilians the great
offenders; and though the right of search might,
II Is thought, be safely given up to France, which
has naval force sufficient to control her citizens,
that right cannot, it is contended, be abandoned
to Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, which have no ma
the case OF France, how, it is asked, can it be
maintained in respect to these other three coun-
tries Already motion has been made IN the
Catholic Majesty to similar negotiations with Eng
land as those M. de BroglIe is conducting on
the part of France, and, though this motion was
rejected, the success of M. de Brogie will, there
cOnnot be doubt, stimulate the Spanish, Portu.
guese, and Brazilian Governments to make the
like demands on England. These are, doubtless,
sorry prospects for the right of search sorry, we
mean, in the. estimation of persons who look
favorable on that right but they who with us re-
gard the right OF search as " mockerv, delusion,
lie speedy success in giving sh the 'a first % blow though
they may think his substitute even more vaueless
1t Is by the removal of error that truth becomes
apparent. and the right of search is black cloud
that iDtercepts rational view of the slave trade
question.
