CORRESPONDENCE
Between Uieat Britain and the United
States, relative to commercial inter-
course heiween America and the Bri
tish West India Colonies.
^ December, 1829, to FovembG 1880.
[CONTINUED ]
Extract of a Utter from Mr. McLane 'to
Mr. ran llurm, dated London, Qth
4pril, 1880.
Sir: I have had r conference with Lord
Aberdeen to day, which I sought for the
purpqseof urging the definitive answer to
my proposition relative to the colonial
trade. In my previous conference, he
gave me some reason 4o expect that it would
be given in time for this packet, but 1 re
gret to say that this expectation has not
been realised, lie assures me that the de
lay has been wholly unavoidable, and that
it proceeds fropi no indispositioo to obvi
ate the difficulties, if that be practicable,
'♦hich lie in (he way of a satisfactory ad
justment of the question.
I have not failed to ri*pr#ent to him the
very seiious injurv end embarrassment
which must result from delaying the an-’
b Congress shall rise, and of
nay be the insuperable difli-
r prospcclive legislation with
future arrangement. None of
have yet proved sufficient to
- _ _ -«r.
Under these circumstances, unless Con
gress shall continue in tesiion until the ar
rival of the packer of the 10th instant,
which I hope they will do, ii will not be,
possible to get the decision.in time to be
submitted to that body. Deeply as I la
ment this state of things, 1 need scaicely
say that it has not been possible for me, by
any exertion, to avoid it.
In this stage of the business, it may be
proper for me to remark that the negotia
tion must end in one of three inodes; in a
positive refusal to change the present re
gulations, or a revocation of the order in
Ominci’ of 1826, upon the terms at toy pro
position, or in a revocation of that order,
with some increase of th** duties imposed
hv the act of Parliament of 182b, in favor
of-the productions of the northern posses
von*.
Looking as. well to the progress of the
negotiat ion as to the obstinate and persever
na opposition. by the interests in thos<
northern possessions, loan? change what
ever, and to the influence which it is ob

sktne duties to be taken on Coff-c remain
ing at The respective’times Under bond in

The undersigned will not pcmii him
snlfto doubt, that, in the first of these acts,
emanating from the flank and friendly
spirit which the President has uniformly
professed, and passed with an 3V«>wed re
ferenco to the pending negotiation, the
Earl off Aberdeen "ill see hew and irresist
ible motives for concurring in the promo
lion of the end to which this measure dt
rectly leads.
Such a measure corild not have been re
commended by the President without in
curring a deep responsibility towards his
own country, and feeling a confident reli
ance upon tbc justice and magnanimity of
this.
K Is i voluntary and leading step in the
conciliating policy or the two nations,
taken in disdain of ihe restraints of form,
and which, if met in a corresponding spi
rit, cannot Tail to produce that friendly in
tarcourse and real harmony so ardently
desired by those who consuft the true in
terests and glory of both countries. It
concedes in in terms all the power In the
regulation of the colonial trade, and au
thorises the President to confer on British
vessels all those privileges, as well in the
circuitous as the direct voyage, which
Great Britain has at any (info demanded
or desired. It has done this in the only
manner in which it was possible for Con
gress, at the present moment, 4N undet
existing circumstances, to act, without u
total abandonment of even those advnn
tages conceded by the present regulations
of Great Britain, and without raising up
new interests to oppose or obstruct the fa
vorable disposition expressed by this go
vernment. Nor will the under signed eon
real his hope and belief that this act will
stamp iho negotiation with a now and
morn favorable character; and that the
United aut«*s having thus taken the fiut
step, and particularly defined the terms
of their legislation, the mode of adjust
ment may be disem umbered of even those
objections with which »! Was supposed to
be embarrassed when submitted to Lou)
Dudley, ami by the answer wnich on that
occasion was given to Mi. ft.ll.iin. The
objections suggested at that period on the
part of Great Britain had no special or ex
nlnrive reference to the measure in ques*
ti«»n, but to the giving of any prospective
pledge l>v which she might commit hersi If
to >he adoption of any specific line of con
due' contingent au events which could not
be foreseen, and to the entering into any
informal agreement as to mutual acts of
i'-ghiaiion while it was impossible to anti
cipate the details with which those acts
miiltt lie accompanied, or the position ind
circumstances in which the two countries,
and the commercial commonwealth gen**i-
rilv, might he placed at the rime when the
laws enacted should coine into effect. If
these objections could at my time have
been essential to the subject, whi h the un
dersigwd by Do me nu admits they cer
tainly are not so at present.*
The act of Congtess has been passed
ithout any pledge prospective or other
wise; it therefore re.ieves tHe adjustment
'»f il ls subject from that patt of the diffi
ctrity. The details of the colonial legisla
tmiiort Mur p.*rt of the United Htates are
precisely defined and fully explained by
the'law. Franklv announcing all this, it
leaves to Great Britain herself the selec
tion of the mode and time in tvldch, ac
cording to her conception of U*r own In
tcrests, she may restore the direct trade
between the United States and the West
Indies. Sim is enabled deliberately to do
this with a full kn-ovlcdge o» the before
«ien(ion*-d detail), ami of he precise po
sitfon and circuni*ianr.es, av well of the
two nations as of the eommen ial nominoh-
wealth in general, at the time wheft the
measures ar to come into ' (reef This
she may do without any risk as to the fit
tore, and with the cer'aliitv that, while
doing art act 0! justice to a friendly pow
er, and relieving it from an invidious ex
elusion from advantages allowed to all
other nations, she is contributing in oerial
ly to the prosperity of hat possessions in
the West Indies.
The undersigned ill not dilmlss this
subject without exprrs-ing the h »pe and
perstta’.ion that In the other measuresof
Congress alluded to, life KirlofAbfr
deen will find not merely all the tatasidtr*
»t ons heretofore urged f»r giving new fa

To what extent tins amount may be en-

from the o«v rate of duty and the advantu
ul an easy trade, the Liiiof Aberdeen
may readily coujectuie.
It should he lemaiked, also. that, while
the consumption of this article is thus aug
mented, the diminution of the duty must
proportionately dimmish the price of salted
provisions. So far as these, theiefoie, f uni
a part of the supplies to the West lodtcs,
the subsistence of the Islands will be clie-<p
vned, white the demand for their produce
is increased,
It should not escape the at.ention oftlie
Earl of Aberdeen that the provisions of
these acts of the Confress, so far us they
relateto cocoa, coffee and salt, confer en
couragement on the trade n( ihe West 1
eies with the United States, which did nm
exist, and nul l not have been contempt;
ted at the period of pissing die act of Pa
liament ot'iBXb They inereioresuperadd
no and iiuportaut motives for rest- r nv
the trade then offered, and for restoring it
upon terms not loss favorable.
While the participation of the British
islands is invited in the advantages to be
derived from this enlarged end increasing
demand of the United Stales fin the pro
dure of toe West Indies, the undersigned
takes leave to suggest the • xpedieocy
securing that participation bafo cth* trade
may be exclusively diverted into other
channels by the superior udsmilages oi a
direct intercourse with other islands.
Inclosing this communication to the
Earl of Aberdeen, tho undesigned will
take the occasion to ibpeat his deep inter
est in the subject, and A renewed hope of
an early and favoiahlo issue. The Earl ol
Aberdeen will not tail to appreciate the spi

by a measure calculated also to awaken at

Apparition seen hy an ExcisemenI ~I
once peurd a sensible and int< llueul frien
in couipanvf express himself convinced of
the tiuth of a wonderful story tohniim hy
an intelligent and (told man, about an np
parition. The scene lay in an ancient
castle oo the coast of Morvcn or the Isle
of Mull, where the ghost seer chanted to
be resident Ho was given to understand
by Hic family, when betaking himself to
iest, that the chamber in which he slept
was occasionally disquieted by superr.atu
rai appearances. But at that time no !>«•
liever in shell stories, he attended little to
this hint, until tire witching hour of night,
when he was awakened from a dead sleep
by tho pressure of a human baud on his
body. He looked up at the figure of a tall
Highlander in the antique and picturesque
diets of his country, only that his brows
were bound with a bloody bandage —
•Struck w»tli sudden and extreme tear, he
was willing to have sprung from bed. but
the spectre stood before him in the bright
moonliaht, its one arm extended, sojis to
masTcr him if he attempted to tise; the
oilier hand held up in a warning and grave
posture, a* menacing the Lowlaiiderit he
should attempt to quit his recumbent atti
Hide. Ti.us he lay in mortal agony for
more tlun an hour, after which it
pleased the spectre of Ancient days to
leave him to more sound repose Bo sin
gular a story had on its sida rite us ial mini
her of votes from .the comp my, till, upon
cross examination, it was explained that
the principal person concernel was an ex
clscman. ofter which ecluircissement. the
same explanation struck all present, vix.
that the Highlanders of the man-don h^d
chosen to detain the excisemen by the p
parition ol an ancient heroic ghost, in or
der to i-iseuise from his vigilance me re
moral of ccrt in modern enough spi: Vs,
which his dmv tihglit have called upon him
to tiriao. Here a single circumstance
explained tile whole ghost story.~^Sir
