BRITISH TREATY.

The following is the Commercial Treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Britain, made
and concluded at London, Oct. 20th, I818; ll)’
the American and British Commissioners, and
which has been duly ratified and exchanged by
the two governments. ’ _

Art. I. “ ‘Whereas differences have arisen re-
specting the liberty claimed by the U. States, for
the inhabitants thereof to take, dry and Cures fi=l1._
on certain coasts, bays, harbors, and creeks, of
His Britannic Majesty’s dominions, in America,
it is agreed between the high contracting parties,
that the inhabitants of the said United States shall
have, in common with the subjects ofHis Bt'iian-
nic»Majesty, the liberty to take fish of every kind.
on that part of the southern coast of Newfound-
land, which extends from Cape Ray to the Ra-
meau Islands, on the western and northern coast
of Newfoundland, from the said Cape Ra)’ to the
Quirpon Islands, or the shores of the Magdalen
Islands, and also on the coasts, bays, harbors and
creeks, from Mount Joly, on the southern coast
of Labrador, to and tlfrougli the Streights of Bel-
lisle, and thence northwesterly indefinitely along
the coast, without prejudice, however, to any of
the exclusive rights of the Hudson Bay Compa-
ny-:-—And that the American fishermen shall al-
so have liberty, forever, to dry and cure fish in a-
ny of the unsettled bays, harbors and creeks, of
the southern part of the coast of Newfoundland,
hereabove described, and of the coast of Labra-
dor; but so soon as the same, or any portion
thereof, shall be settled, it shall not be lawful for
the said fishermen to dry or cure fish at such
portion so settled, without previous agreement
for such purpose, with the inhabitant, proprie-
tors, or possessors ofthe ground. And the Uni-
ted States hereby renounce forever, a liberty
heretofore enjoyed or claimed by the inhabitants
thereof, to take, dry, or cure fish, on or within 3
marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks or
harbors of His Britannic Majesty’s dominions in
America, not included within the abovemention-
ed limits; Provided, however, that the Ameri-
can fishermen shall be admitted to enter such
bays or harbors, for the purpose of shelter and
of repairing damages therein,of purchasing wood,
and of obtaining water, and for no other purpose
whatever. But they shall be under such restric-
tions as may be necessary to prevent their taking,
drying, or curing fish therein or in any other
manner whatever abusing the privileges hereby
reserved to them.

Art. II.
the most northwestern point of the Lake of the
“loads, along the forty-ninth parallel of north

latitude, or if the said point shall not be in the '

forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, then that a
linedrawn from the said point due north or south,
as the case may be, until the said line shall inter-
sect the said parallel of north latitude, and from
the point of such intersection due west along and
with the said parallel, shall be the line of demar-
cation between the territories of the U. States
and those of His Britannic Majesty, and that the
said line shall form the northern boundary of the

' said territories of the United States, and the

southern boundaries of the territory of His Brit-
annic Majesty, from the Lake of the \Voods to
the.Stony Mountains.

Art. III. It is agreed, that any country that
may be claimed by either party on the north-
west coast of America, westward of the Stony
Illountains. shall, together with its harbor-s, bays,
and creeks, and the navigation of all rivers with-
in the same, be free and open, for the term of
ten years from the date of the signature of the
present convention, to the vessels, citizens, and
subjects, ofthe two powers : it being well under-
stood, that this agreement is not to be construed
to the prejudice of any claim which either of the
two high contracting parties may have to any
part of the said country,» nor shall it be taken to
affect the claims of any other power or state to
any part of the said country ; the only object of
the high contracting parties, in that respect, be-
ing to prevent disputes and differences amongst
themselves.

Art. IV. All the provisions of the conven-
tion ‘to regulate the commerce between the
territories of the United States and of his Britan-
nic majesty,’ concluded at London, on the third
day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and fifteen, with the exception of
the clause which limited its duration to four
years, and excepting also, so far as the same was
affected by the declaration of his majesty rc-
specting the Island of St. Helena, are hereby ex-
tended and continued in force for the term of ten
years from the date of the signature of the pre-
sent convention, in the same manner as ifall the
provisions of the said convention were herein
specially recited. - -

Art. V. \Vhereas it was agreed by the first
article of the treaty of Ghent, that ‘All territo-
ty, places and possessions, whatsoever, taken by
either party from the other, during the war, or
which may be taken after the signing of thistrea-
ty, excepting only the Islands hereinafter men-
tioned, shall be restored without delay, and with-
out causing any destruction, or carrying away

ROBBERY OF THE MAIL.

On Monday morning, between 3 and 4 o’clock,
the Mail Stage from Philadelphia, was_ stopped,
one mile this side of Bridgtown, N. J. (about 18
miles from this .ciiy,) by S liiglnvayirieii, armed
with pistols, and masked. - There were four male
passengers in the stage, and one female, whom
they first proceeded to rob, promising that they
should receive no personal injury. Mr. Cohen,
merchant, of Philadelphia, was on the back seat,
and had, it is said, 33.000 dollars for the\Manbat-
tan Bank, which he concealed in the straw, be-
neath his feet, and persuaded the robbers that he
had only 65. 6d, about him. From the other
passengers they took a watch, and some inconsid-
erable sums of money. They then cut open the
mail bags, and deliberately overhauled them for
what they conceived the most valuable packages,
(in the opinion of the passengers, from half a
bushel to a bushel in bulk,) and detaining the
stage about half an hour, they ordered the driver
to proceed. The whole amount ofdepredations
on the mails cannot, as yet, be ascertained.

‘We cannot but believe that this circumstance
will quicken the government to adopt the meas-
ure which has been often urged, of providing
the mail with a guard.—."Jcrc. fldv.

Two of t/IE‘ Mail I<i’obb:.-rs taken.

Feb. 4..-—-W'e are happy to state, that two men,
answering the description of the mail robbers,
were taken yesterday forenoon in the upper part
of the city, and brought to the Police Ofiice. Al‘-7
ter a long examination, they were committed to
prison under a full belief of their guilt. One oi"
the prisoners is named Jcseph Mauric, a French-
man, about 31 years old, and nearly six feet in
height ; he arrived in this city about two ‘I‘l‘l0l']l..i"'.-‘F,
ago from Carthagena-—the other is named Pier?
Bertrand, is an Italian by birth, and about 2

years old. has been employed the last 3 moiitlisif _

in a leather factory in this city—both are singl

the lfrcnch army. ..‘
Maurie admits that they left this city on Sum:
day last in company with a third person ;:but iiei-if,
thcr of them has confessed any thing oftlie trans-.=
actions relating to the robbery. " _.
‘ All the inonc-j_.' i':.-aiicl upon them, amounts to-.
1080 doll.us. Of this sum. four bills of $100.73
edcti, and one of S50. are identified as having
been forwarded from iichmond, to Messrs. VV.
‘V. 5! T. L. Chester, the numbers correspond-
ing with the description in a letter of advice. It
is said a bank note ofSi000, and a draft for $3000
were [ickcd up yesterday near the spot where
they were arrested, which it is presumed they
dropped. Mr. Cohen, who was in the stage at
thctime of the robbery, sa\v the prison:-.rs yes-
terday, and states that he has no doubt they are
the persons who committed the atrocity.-Ib.
Feb. 8.—Derezeau, the third mail robber, it is
ascertained was in Philadelphia last Thursday.
His route from thence has not been ascertained;
but there is little doubt that he will be overtaken
and secured.—Ib. . ’

bed of its baggage, near I-Vashington-Ciiy ; and
it was only owing to the precaution of one of
ihepassengers, a French gentleman, that it was
not lost. Apprehending danger, he had fixed 8
sgring to his trunk, and tied the other to the end
of his hand; on receiving a jirk, he cried out.

their booty and escaped. ’ .

The Small 1’q:c is raging at an alarming height
in Lancaster, Penn. There are a great many
laboring under the disease, and several pél‘S0nS
have fallen its victims‘. VVhat renders it more
distressing, several cases have occurred in per-
sons who were Supposed to liave had the kine

v A Hamburg ship bound to Havana, has been
plundered of goods to the value of 50,000 dollars
by a piraticalvessel, off the coast of FlO!'l(ias and
the crew treated in a mostabusive manner. The
pirate’:-i crew‘ were composed of all nations-'

A St. John’s (N. paper, states that two
boats were upset nearthat place in a gale the lat-
ter part of November, and all hands pe1‘iSl1eCl-
One ofthe boat’s‘crow consisted of 5 men, 'lh1'tC
of whom were brothers, all married, and had in
the three families 21 ‘children.

A man and his team were lately lost near Mon-
treal,'by the ice giving away while crossing the
St. Lawrence. _ .

A man jumped from the gutter ofa three sto-
ry house on the pavement, in New-York, on the
7th inst.; and although much maimed and both
legs broken, he was not dangerous wounded.-
He was supposed to be insane. ,

The fumes of burning Charcoal, in a confined
or damp room, are well known to be highly dele-
terious, and often fatal. Four workmen employed
in a part of a tannery at Humor,‘ N. Y. heatedby.
chaircoal, were seized by a sudden dizziness; alld
fell senseless on the floor. They were fortunate-
ly discovered in time to be restored.

John Boyd has been committed to jail in B’-ml“
more, for murdering James Martin. Both pa!‘-
ties have families.

It is stated that Sir Gregor McGregor recently
touched at Nassau, on his passage from London
to Venezuela, in a fine brig of 18 guns, and had
sailed again to join Lord Cochrane’s squadron,
consisting of 2 frigates, 2 sloops and ,2 brigs of
war, besides transports. The land forces gone
out in this expedition, amounts, it is said, to be-
tween 3 and 4000. V

29th December, contains an official letter
from Don Jose Guerrero, to the Governor of
Gumana, dated the 29th Nov. 1818, in which
he gives an account of his having complete-
ly succeeded in the attack he had been di-
rected by his Excellency to make on the en-
cmy’s flotilla. This it appears was compo-
sod of ‘five fiecheras and one skill‘, of which
only one escaped. ‘ He states his loss to be
6 killed and 20 wounded, while the enemy
lostupwards of 200 killed, no prisoners be-

The joint resolution, proposing an amendment
to the Constitution, so far as to provide an uni--
form mode (by districts) of electing electors of
President and Vice President of the U. ‘States,
and Representatives to Congress, has passed the
U. S. Senate.

The Seminole war question is still under dis-
cussion in Congress.

By the proceedings of the Massachusetts Le-
gislature, it would seem that the claim of that
state against the general government for their
ex pences during the late war, is to be brought be-
fore thc present Congress. notwithstanding their
Senators in Congress had written to the Governor,
informing him that “ there was a moral certairity
of its r(~jcczz'on.”

 

A bill, altering the style of the Catskill ./icqucu ‘

duct Association, to that of Greene County Bank,
has passed the Legislature of New-York. A bill
has also been reported, dividing the counties of
Ontario and Genessee, and erecting a new one
from them. Rochester, (says the Catskill Re-
corder,) will probably be the new county town.
Thisvillage has increased with a rapidity scarce-
ly equalled in any country. What in 1816 was
an inconsiderable hamlet, isfinow a flourishing
and populous village. '

In Courtland county, N. Y. there has been two
recent wolf-hunts, during which two men and

two children were accidently killed.
