The undersigned, Her Britannia Majesty's
Consul for the States of North and South
Carolina, has the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your Exccllency's "Note" of the
18th instant, conveying to him the gratifying
assurance of the friendly feelings entertained to
his government by the State over which your
Excellency presides, and intimatng, also, your
Excellcncy's intention to transmit the comnu.
nication of the undersigned at your Excelency's 5
earliest convenience, to the Legislature of

to request the consideration of your Excellency,
and Of the Legislature, to the opinion of the

ten, under the command of the Hon. J. q.
Adams, President of the United States, and
printed in "Elliott's American Dipom Code, !"
(Appendix, vol. ii. p. 676,) concluding in the
following forcible language:
81 am of opinion that the section of the law
under consideration is roid, for being against
the constitution, treaties and law of the United
States, aud incompatible with the rights OF all
nations in amity with the United States"
This opinion your ExcclIency will, the un-
dersigned conceives, hold to be we'll founded on
the supreme power OF treaties, as ruled by all
writers on International law, aud briefly but
decisively laid down by Wheaton. in his "Ele.
ments of International Law, who states, (page
l22, chap i. part 2.) under the head of the
"Rights of Self Preservation and Indepen.
dence" OF nations.
"Ihe only exceptions of the application Of
these general rules, arise out of compact, such
as treaties OF alliance, guarantee or mediation,
TO which the state itself, whose concerns are in
question, has become party"
The undersigned feels fully assured that Her
Majesty's Government may confidently rely on
the justice and good faith Of the Legislature oI
South Carolina, to arrest from the present mo.
ment, the operation of an act, which he appre-
hends will on examination, be found liable (by
the individual irritation it must cause,) to create
the results it was designed to preclude.

beet was attained. In consequence of these
lelusive accounts, prices fell in this country,
aud farmers hurried their produce to market for
fear of still lower rates. In the meantime
agents despatched across the Atlantic by Brit.
ish capitalists, traversed the whole country,
making large purchases, and the farmer was
thus defraudcd of the produce OF his labor.

also be misled by similar Misrepresentation,

chester spinners.
But granting that the stock of all kinds of
Cotton in Great Britain be as is stated in the
revised estimates. still the prospects OF Amerl-
can Cotton, although somewhat Influenced BY
it, are not altogether dependent upon it, and
are not such as to justify the reduction OF pres
ent rates at least, the planters should not, IN
our opinion on the strength of the recent adj
vices, submit to any material reduction.
The Import of American Cotton into Great
Britain during the year just closed, was ,ls4'
600 bales; her Consumption and Export, $780,
600 bales; or $4,000 bales more than the i'm
port. Her Stock, though $4,000 bales more
of this years crop was received than in lS49,
is nevertheless, diminished by 10000 bales
"The stocks of Cotton, too, at all the ports in
the world, are considerably less than they were
last year." Our crop this year, ls5O-5l, in
all probability, will not exceed 2,l5O,O00
bales, and every bale of this will be consumed,
and more will be wanted. The stocks IN
France and on the Continent, are small. These
markets will require 100000 bales; the con.
sumption of this country will require 100000
bales, and with these deductiols, where will
Great Britain obtain supply equal to her con-
sumption of the past year2 Could the dealers
and Cotton growers in this country, withhold
su ,plies for three months, and thus compel her
to prove her stocks by working them up, we
cannot doubt that the price of Cotton would
advance much beyond the present rates. Plan
ters should not lig ghtly yield the power they
now have of debating fair terms. There is
every thing to show that there will be con-
sumption this year equal to the entire crop,
even though it amount to 1890 600 bales, and
that there is no sufficient cause for prices lower
than the present. Trade, both abroad and at
home, is in highly prosperous condition, food
is cheap, and money abundant. The gold OF
California cannot be without its influence on
prices, and unless some political disturbance
intervene, all circumstances concur III prom
sing prosperous year to the Cotton growing
interest.
