We repeat here ia point Of departure II is just
AS ridiculous FOR England 20 behind this treaty and
claim rights the Spanish American continent beyond H.
il would be for her undertake behind the treaty
Of the year with the United States and pretend 10 the

Dispute, however arising between Great Britain and
Spain the effect Of this 9Th article convention
was concluded by the governments the l4ih july
1856 the article of which declares that his Britannia

enjoyed the protection Of England shall evaouate the

fore but mahogany aud al other wood after which the ar
ce proceeds declare that the district OF the Balze
is ~ndisputaly acknowledged belong Of right 10 the

All this be sufficiently explicit upon ie face
f otherwise its meaning is thoroughly authentcA-
ted by debate on this treaty which occurred in the House
of Lords the Goth OF March 1884, Lord Rawdon moved
that the terms of the convention OF July H. 1886 do not

rejected and the treaty sustained by vote of % TO H. thus
constituting the complete humiliation OF this pretended
British proteciorship OF the Mosquitoes
Subsequently to this, in 1909, Great Britain made
treaty Of alliance offensive and defensive with Spain In
1914 She made treaty of commerce. rerying all her old
commercial treaties with SPAIN and upon these series OF
treaties may be presumed il that by two acts Of Par
lament of 1917 and 1919 to be found in 81 and 80 Geo
III the British government declared 10 the most solemn
and conclusive that government use that The
Balize not within the territory and dominion Of his
Majesty but merely settlement for certain purposes in

Thus we that long the portion of America

of Paramentuterly abjured disavowed and renowned
any and all claims of sovereignty dominion the Span
