These objections will hardly be removed by the reciprocity of the concessions. In the present state of the world, that reciprocity would have no application to Great Britain, nor can any change, within the limited period o the Treaty, be reasonably expected to put us in the situation of calling upon America for tho communication of her maritime code, It may be said, that by this stipulation we prevent America from granting indulgences to France; and this at first sight seems plausible. But Amer...ica favours France, not by treaties and conventions, but by her silent acquiescence in the ordinances of BUONAPARTE. It is not under treaties that she carries on the trade against which the eleventh article is directed ; it is not by virtue of any formal Convention that $he is become the carrier of France, and the neutralizer of French property throughout the world. Against these evils, our mutual conces sion of " Amicimma Gens " would afford us no protection. The twenty-third article I therefore couple with the eighth as either useless or dangerous ; if it has not the tendency which I have ascribed to it, it can have none that is beneficial.
