The Portuguese and Dutch have maintained a friendly understanding with him, it is hardly to be called a trade, even longer than ourselves, and they have made as little progress as ourselves, in moulding htm to their commercial pur- poses. The French, with their well-known pliancy of temper, and peculiar arts of colonization, have endea- voured, in their turn, to make a more fortunate impres- sion, and have experienced an equal disappointment with other European competitors.
