ernm6nt is inclined to remove existing restrictions
on international commerce.
Universal reciprocity in the widest sense is held
by the American Government as the only thorough
ly appropriate for intercourse between two
great nations. The prohibition of the indirect trade
has but restrained enterprise it has done good to
neither country. To abroeate it would at once set
free dormant commercial wealth, without iniuring
any one.
Should her .Maiesty's Government entertain sim
liar views, the undersigned is prepared, on the part
of the American Government, to propose that Brit
lsh ships may trade from any port IN the world TO
any port in the United States and be received,
protected. and in respect to charges and duties,
treated like American ships; if reciprocally, Amer
lean ships may in like manner trade from any port
OF the world to any port under the dominion Of her
Britannia Majesty.
The removal Of commercial restrictions, while it
would be of mutual advantage to the material in
terests Of both countries could not but give open
ngs to still farther relations of amity between them
and by its influence the Intercourse Of nations,
create guarantees for the peace of the World.
The undersigned, etc, GEORGE BANCROFT.

FOREIGN OFFICE, Nov. II, 1s47.
SJR-I have lost no time in communicating tony
colleagues your note of the Sd instant on the sub
jet OF the Navigation Laws which regulate the
commerce of the British Empire and that of the
United States with each other
This question has already engaged the serious at
tention Of her MaiGsty's Ministers and we observe,
with pleasure, that the sentiments which we enter
tain with regard TO it, are sharedby the Govern
Glent of country with which we are so closely
united by the ties of an extensive commerce and of
q common origin.
We do not however think that we should be
justified nadvising the Crown enter into engage
ments which would be at variance with some of the
most important principles of the existing Naviga-
tien Laws, without tie previous sanction of Parlla-
ment; but it is our intention to propose to Paria
ment, without unnecessary delay, measures which
would enable us to place our commercial inter-
i'll regard to the matters to which your note
refers. on the most liberal and comprehensive basis
with respect to all countries which shall be willing
to act ina corresponding spirit toward us.
am, etc, PALMERsToN.
FRANcE.-Some very exciting scenes have taken
place in the Chamber of Deputies. On the Sd ut.,
debate took place in relation to Swiss affairs and
the proposed intervention, when NJ. 1hiers attacked
the Ministry with great violence, and NJ Guizot
made very lame and discreditable defence, with
which no party was satisfied. The Democratic Pa
clique speaks of his speech as follows: W
m Guizot yesterday made sad spectacle the pain
full TO observe the wIece sophlsns to which the advocates
under the vaults of the Palace of Justice descend in order to
defend the cause of cqlpt greatly more affecting to

orator and writer being compromised and protuted to such
