By the stipulation that the flag shall cover the pro
perty, the two contracting parties agree that this

who recognise this principle, but if either of the
two contracting parties shall be at war with a third
party, and the other neutral, the flag of the neutral

ments acknowledge this principle, and not of others.
ARTICLE XVII.
It is likewise agreed that, in the case where the

my's vessel shall be free.

ed from quitting such place with her cargo; nor i
found therein after the surrender, shall such vessel
or her cargo be Ruble to confiscation, but shall be
restored to Lite owner thereof.
ARTICLE XXII.
In order to prevent all^kiuds of disorder in the
visiting and examination of the vessels and cargoes

It ie likewise agreed that the two contracting par
ties shall, by nil the means in their power, maintain
peace nnd harmony among the several Indian nations
who inhabit the lamia adjacent to the lines and riv
ers which form the boundaries of the two countries ;
uml tho better to attain this object, both parties bind
themselves expressly to retain, by force, all hostilities
and incursions on the part of the Indian nations liv
ing within their respective boundaries, so that the
UnitoU States of America will not suffer their ludi-
nus to attack the citizens of the United Mexican
States, nor the Indians inhabiting their territory ; nor

And in the event of any persou or persona, captur
ed by the Indians who inhabit tho territory of either

emn manner, to return them to their country as soon
as they know of their being within tbeir respective
toritories, or to deliver them up to tho agent or rep
resentative of the Government that claims them,
giving to each other, reciprocally, timely notice,und
the claimant paying tho expenses incurred in thu
transmission and maintenance of such person or per
sons, who, in the mean timo, sliall bo treated with
the utmost hospitality by the local authorities of tho
place where they may bo. Nor sliall it bo lawful,
under any pretext whatever, for tho citizens of either
of the contracting parties, to purchase or hold|capti ve

ARTICLE XXXIV.
The United States of America and tho United Mex
ican States, desirous to make as durable as circum
stances will permit, the relations which are to bo es
tablished between tho two parties by virtue of this
treaty or general convention of amity, commerce,
and navigation, he ve declared solemnly, and do agree
to tho following points:
First. The present treaty shall remain and bo of
force for eight years from tho day ofthe exchange of
the ratifications, and until the end of one year after
either of the contracting parties shall have given no
tice to the other of its intention, to terminate tho
same ) each of the contracting parties reserving to
itself thu right of giving such notice to thu other, at
tho end of said term of eight years. And it is here
by agreed between them, that, on the expiration of
one year after notice shall have been received by ei
ther of tho parlies from the other party, this treaty
in nil its parts, relating to commerce and navigation,
sliall altogether cease und determine, and in all those
parts which relate to peace and friendship, it shall
be permanently and perpetually binding on both the
contracting parties.
Secondly. If any one or more of the citizens of
either party shall infringe any ofthe articles of this
treaty, such citizens shall be held personally respon
sible for the same; and the luirmony and good cor
respondence between the two nations shall not bo
interrupted thereby; each party engaging, in no
way, to protect the offender, or sanction such viola
tion.
Thirdly If (what indeed cannot be expected) anv
pends so much uu
Jj i mere opinion, tuken up without foundation and ud-*
j, | heredto without reason, as tiie practice uf medicine.
The following anecdote, though relating to n sha-
doctor, is none the Jess illustrative of thu truth of
wliut t\e have udvauced ; and if the reader pleasu’
may be taken as a case in point.—-It is told by a
physician of this city, who was well acquainted with
the purtics.
There was a sho-doctor or, as she was usually
called, a doctoresa, residing near Hartford, Conn,
who was famous for the euro of various diseases,
und especially for her succeed iu febrile cumplaiuU.
She lmd u ievor powder which did wonders. It was
a secret as she believed ; uud she was determined
it should remain ao. Tho name of secret remedy
goes far with tho people ; aud the she-doctor ob
tained very considerable practice.
She happened ou a time to come in professional
contact with the lute Dr. Cogswell, of Hartford, a
gentleman of talents and shrewdness. She had a
patient iu a lever, whom the Doctor was likewise
called to see. lie inquired into her mode of treat
ing the cuse, and learned thut she relied principally
on her laiuous fever-powders, lie asked to sea
them. Two or three of them were brought for
ward, nicely done up in litile bits of paper. They
were of u white color; and the Doctor wettinw the
end of his linger and tukiug up a small portion of
one, applied it to his tongue, nnd immediately ascer
tained wliut it was. He said nothing, however, of
ricu, j the discovery, but proceeded to question the old
r lady on tho uuture, operation, and dose of her
remedy.
“ What arc these powders made of?” said he.
“I should’nt like to tell,’ answered she ;—‘it’e a
secret of my own that I never let nobody know.”
“ Its a necret then, is it?”
“ Yes Doctor, there's no mortal knows it but my
self. I’d tell it to you ns quick as any body in th*
world ; but its a confound secret, that,’ I don’t teU
nobody living.”
“ What ofleet do the powders jiroduce on the pa
tient?”
“ Oh, they produce a wonderful effect—very won
derful indeed.”
“ Are they sodorific, refrigerant, or eedativt f
said the Doctor, making an imposing display of
technical terms.”
“ Oil, they aint noylher of them,* returned th*
alio-doctor, who did not understand his language—
“ they don’t operate at all in that way.”
“ How do they operate then?”
“ Why, they cure the fever right away.**
“ You’re sure of that, ure you ?”
“ Oh, yes, they’re a charming tiling in a fever.*
“How many do you give for a dose ?’*
“ Only one.
“ Well, suppose you should give two?"
“ It would be dangerous. Tiie powder* are ao
powerful.”
“ Well, suppose you should give three ?”
“ Why that would bo very dangorous ; tho pow
ders are so powerful.”
“ Or suppose,* proceeded tho Doctor, ‘you should
give half-a dozen, what effect would they have ?’*
Oh 1” exclaimed the old lady, lifting up iier hand*
in a deprecating manner, ‘they would kill the pa
tient to a sartainty. You cant conceive how very
powerful they are, Doctor.”
“ Have you any inoro of them ?”
“ Yes, a few more.”
“ Bring me a dozen.”
“ A dozen ! Gracious me ! Why, Doctor, what
arc you a going to do with a dozen ?”
“ 13e good enough to let me have them and I’ll
■how'you presently.”
The dozen powders were brought, and tho Doc
tor, calling for a tumbler of water, put in the whole
at once. Then cooly lifting tho veseol to his motith|
v — v .... .cutcu mi ho swallowed tho contents nt a draught. Thera
of the urticles corita’inedTn th*o'present ^reat^^hafl I happened to be several persons in tho room, who
be violated or infracted in any manner whatever, it wero petrified with horror at so resit ft deed. If
is stipulated that neither of the contracting parties j *ix of tho powders would kill u man, why then
will order or authorize any acta of reprisal, 0 nor de- .twelve must despatch him to a dead certainty.
