    carrying it off wit % increased activity , more especially on that very part jtf the coast which is to the noph of the Line , in direct violation of the treaty by which she had ^ ftpulated to confine her trad e to the south of lit .

    perceived in the American Government no disposition to give up the objections it formerly urged against the establishment of a mutual right of examining each other's ships on the coast of Africa . That we had hoped that the powerful arguments used by a committee of the ,
