The prospects of peace with England para- lyzed the arm of the savages, who, having no longer their losses repaired by the Canadian au- thorities, hesitated to continue a war which was not sanctioned by their ancient allies. Many causes, however, contributed to prevent the proper execution of the treaty, which, by ex- asperating the bitterness already existing between the two nations, finally stimulated the Indians to a renewal of the war. By mutual stipulations agreed upon between the contract...ing parties, England was bound to carry away no slaves, and to surrender the north- western posts ; while the United States had stipu- lated to admit the legal collection of all debts due by her citizens to British merchants. All of these conditions were violated. Vir- ginia prohibited the collection of British debts until the slaves which had been taken from her state were restored ; and England refused to sur- render the northwestern posts until the debts of British subjects were legally recognised.
