We are told that cording to the treaty stipulsons
which have been SO regiously observed by Her Most
Catholic Aajestys subjects, II taken under Spanish
colors, both ship and slaves should be sent to the

that the miserable slaves being landed in any
beyond Spanish jurisdiction for cannot suppose
for instant that that they will be given up after
entering Brtish port much less AFT having stood
British soil The ship may be condemned here, or sent
tothe Havana or given up altogether. for what We
care but we do trust that not soul OF her living
cargo will be given up to the Iapaeious and unprin

advocated. namely the prsprcty of bockading the
coasts Of Cuba and Brazil and congratulate Lieut..
