The third article of the new treaty provides for Ac regulates commerce be tween the United States and the Bri t'lh East Indies, in the fame terms as Lie thirteenth article ol the old treaty, except that the words, and sailing di re ft from the ports oj the said states are inf cried 111 the (lift clause, which now ri-ia thus : 44 His majelly confcnts that the veifels belonging to the citi zen:. of the United States of America, ana failing direht from port* of the Tut Hates, flial! be admitted end hos pitably received in all the fea-port> 41 rid harbours of the Britilh ten hone.- in the East India*, &c.” The fourth article of the new treaty is the fame as the fonriceath of the old one, and ftipulatcs for a general iibeny oi trade between the Uniter, Sates and tfee Britilh dt -turnons in The fifth article of the new treaty is the fame as the fifteenth of the old one (regulating the duties on {’nips and merchandize) with two exceptions : The firft refrrves to the United States the right previoufty reserved to Great j Britain, of imposing a tonnage equal jto what lha!l be impeded by the other party. The fccotid is made bv fullii tuting anew clause for the rcTervation formerly made by Great Britain, of 44 the right of imposing on American j veifels entering into die Britilh ports] in Europe, such duty as may be ade-j quate to countervail the difference of j duty now payable on the importation of European and Asiatic goods when imported into the United .State-. in Briti.fi> or in American vell'cls-.” In stead of this the following words make part of the r.ew article. t: And in the; trade of the two nations with each a- 1 ! iher, the fame duties on exportation j or importation of goods or tncrchan-i dize (hall be imposed; and the fame} drawbacks and bounties allowed in! either country, whether the exporta tion or importation {hall be it; Britilh or American ve:: Is.” The sixth article of the new treaty Hates that the panics cannot agree a bout our trade to the Britilh Weft In dies ; but that 44 while they will at tempt an amicable agreement, both may exercise their exitling rights.” The leventh of this, like the f> x ■ teenth of the other treaty, provides lor appointment of consuls, 6cc. The eighth of this, like the feVcn teenth of the other, provides for the speedy decision on the capture and detention of veifels fufpefcled of car : ryiru enemy’s goods or contraband us I war.

The fix teenth, like the twenty-second of (heather, forbids reprifids before a ‘demand ol fausfablion. The ievco’ccr.th, is the f* me as tfit 1 wenty-ibir i of jibe old treaty,, which after UipaUiinz :hi { 4 the {*;■ -3 of war of caclrof ibc contraciing parties fliall at all times be hospitably received in the ports of the other,” provides *• that American vrfieis, driven by stress of weather danger of enemies, or other misfortune, to feck {richer, fiiall be received in port - into which veifels could not ordinarily claim to be; ad mis ted. ft ids uipuldtion is now mac’s reciprocal. The eighteenth article, like the twenty fourth of the old treaty, prohibits the armament of pri vatef'S belonging to the etieniies of e ti>er, and ike Lie of their, .prizes in ports of tire other par ty. The nineteenth is the fame as the twenty-fifth of the old treaty, permitting (hips of war to bring in their prizes and take them away again with out payment of duties, and prohibiting the entry of (hips of the enemies of either party, which IhfcU have made prizes, uniTs driven by stress of weather ; in which case they are to depart as foj’i as pcflible. The twentieth is the fame as the (Twenty-sixth of the old treaty, providing for merchants and o thers ir> one country when war breaks out with the other.

The tweaty-fecond is anew article rcfpc’ :mp fttip (lupwreck, aod promising humane treat ment. The twent-third fecurcs to each the rights of the moft favored nation, arid declares that “ ah treaties h .-reafter made by either with any nation, fiiall ipfo*facto be extended in a.l their favoura ble operations to the other.” The twenty-fourth engages to join in abcliili ing the have trade. The twenty-ufih contains the ftipulition that this treaty is not to interfere with antecedent en gagements, And, The twenty-fisth limits the duration to ten years from the exchange of ratifications. It is dated the 31 December, ISOS ; but pre vious to the signature, two notes were given, by the Britilh to the American cemmufiocere. The firft keeps open for future difeuffion a claim of Britain not to pay more on goods lent from Canada or New Brunswick, into the tenhorie-i of the \j. States, than is paid cn the importation of such goods in American (bip3. The fecund note declares that the king of Great Britain he a dire&ed h:s ccJcnaifSonen, before they fig> the treaty, to deliver that rote, in order that a fair uuderftajiding nfay be rad by all parties of his ] Majesty’s views, in ccnfequence of the blockad ing decree, to vuich the attention df the Ame rican conuniuioners is invited. The decree so recer.t in print cf time, and so novei and mon (Irons in ft.hftar.ee, that his Majef.y it at a Lfs to calculate on events ! but fuppolL.g, however, I that it will be formally abandoned or totally re j linquiil.-ed by Bonaparte, or in case he is mistaken !in that fur.poution, he reds with confidence on i the good ienfe of the government of the IT. S. ! that the y will not fubm-t to an innovation so des* | truclive of tire rights of neutral commerce.— Should he, however, be mistaken in ail these points, and the enemy (liould actually carry into execution his threats, and neutral nations ao cuiefee in such ufurpatidn, he may probably, _ th o’ I rcluftautiy.be obliged to retaliate. The treaty ] fecurcs to the United States 10 many privileges •of neutral commerce, that at a time when his | Majeity and neural nations are threatened with such extension of belligerent pretensions from his ! enemies, without any explanation from the U. States what they will do in case Bonaparte at tempts *0 Lice on them his decree, his Majesty must reserve to himfelf to act according to con-; , tingencies in that particular, the signing if the; | treaty notwlthftanding. And as the distance of 1 the American commiffiouers from their govern ment renders a previous explanation inopo Bible, j hismajefty anthorifes his comaiiflionen to finifh ] the treaty. This is done under the fulled per | suasion, that, before the treaty returns to Europe I from America ratified, time will difeover the 1 formal abandonment or tacit relinqiiilliinent of I the enemy of his pretensions; cr in case that . ftioulj net take place, that the government of j the United States, by their conduct or a.Tur * ances, will secure his majesty that they will cot submit to innovations so deftrucrive o r n 1 a rid me rights. JV.it in case Bonaparte enforces his ue i tree according to its tenor, and if neither by the i atTurar.cr s nor con duel of America a disposition | is (hewn to oppose it, his-majesty wilhes it to be Ifairly and dearly undentooci, that lie will not conlider himfejf botmd by the fignatye of his ! comn.iiuonera to ratify ; or in case ho ratifies, he 1 will not and cannot be. precluded from adopting | such nicafurcs as may leem neceftary fur conn teradling the defigus of his enemy, wlieoever ’ they (hall occur, and be of lat h aa cstraordina* I ry nature, as to require extraoidioary’ remedies.’ BAYONNE, July-21.
