nThese inculpations of others are, however,
made sill more unwarrantable by Tue lac's E'
forth in The documents themselves upon Which
Mr.. TYLER POUNDS them. It is true that 10 these
charges he butcopies the dispatches OF Mr.. W iSe;
bu, those despatches repeatedly declare also that
il is chiefly Ey means and under cover OF our flag
thai this ubiquitous traffic is now increasing
How. is easily seen The United States claim
for their flag an absolute ana unconuhiohai eA-

This explains the real purpose OF the article
n deny thai the increase of The traffic is TO be al

find in carving i, on, and The injudicious means
adoplcd by The British gorA' nmeni 10 suppress

under cover OF our fiag' that il is arried on. "a
statement we believe is enormously atirihnled 10
Mir Wise. because ''the United States claim for
their flag an absolute and unconditional exemp-
lion from search" and thai, therefore, we ought
10 abandon our claim TO suchexelnplion, and SUBJ
mil our ships TO be searched BY the British men
ol-war. Such is the real purpose Of the article.

lain American built vessels, sold 10 Portuguese
sIave-dealels, had been arlinlly disposed OF 50 as

We notice this now, merely 10 remark upon The
sy mode in which the subject is approached and
The adroiiness of our neighbor, (who knows the
suspicion under which he rests, and is conscious,
no doubt, ol The justice of them,) in thus, under
the title OF 'thr United States, Brazil, and The
slave trade, and in an analysis OF papers ITO al
ford much important information in regard tolhe
Brazilian slave trade, and explain the probable
grounds OF any quarrel with Brazil which may
have arisen" arguing al length great question
between Great Britain and The United States.
Having shown the question presented, and the
manner chosen 10 present it, We shall notice here
after some of The matters discussed in the article
