To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The discussions at the Congress of Verona, thus resulted in a mere repetition of the barren denuncia- tions of the Congress of Vienna and that of Aix-la- Chapelle. The three Northern powers of the Con- tinent would not listen to the British proposition to grant a monopoly in their markets of the colonial products of such countries as had prohibited the slave-trade, nor to introduce a new public law of Europe by which the offence of engaging in the trade should be considered as piracy under the ...law of nations. France peremptorily refused to take any new measures to suppress the traffic. Such is the account given of these transactions in the papers presented to the British Parliament. But we are told by M. De Chateaubriand, in his "History of the Congress of Verona, " that in the memoir presented by the Duke of Wellington under date of the 24th November, 1822, the British cabi- net expressed its regret that France should be the 53 only one of the great maritime powers* which still refused to accede to the arrangements concluded be- tween Great Britain and other States, with the view of conferring upon certain ships of war of the con- tracting parties the limited right of search and con- fiscation against merchant-vessels engaged in the slave-trade.
