> T:ie American tonnage duty therefore was let u

s the British government Ihall tefeivea ngnt to raise orde
the tonnage duty on our vefTvls entering their ports «onf
- !n Europe 2, so as to ™ke it egual to the in o
1 doty payable by their vcffels entering our ports ; ft-p
- and in order to balance the difference of dtie. on fi.te
e oeods imported into our ports by AmericanV by in i
iiritilh vefT«ls, the effect whereof is the (ame as the
1 that which proceeds from an alien tonnage duty : »**
- The article further agtees, that the Brmlh govern
s cent mail refetve a right to impose such duty as crip
t may be adequate to effete thifrcnd. The preceding nat
- clause of this article stipulates, that the vcffeUand con
f cargoes of each (hall pay no higher, or other du- tion
v tics, than those imposed on the lik? vefTels and car- tn t
■„ crocs of all other nstions ; it was therefore neceffa- o; n
ry to refeive a right to increase againit us, tueir lar ;
e alien tonnage duty,'and to impose the counter- Ire
s vailing duty in quellion, as without such Bn
it tion, the fame could not have been done, ui'.lefs by cha
y laws equally operating againit all other nations— ta6t
,*. which would have been nnjuft in reference to .uch the
i- of them as might not like us, have difcnminated rati
0 in their duties between their own and foreign vef- lam
fels. , . B "
. T\m methods have been fuggefled, by which A
nl this countervailing power might be executed. teig
e One by imposing pro rata duty on the importa- fpc<
~ tion of goods into the British ports in Europe by finr
ie American vefTels, equal to the difference between vefl
U the duties payable in our ports on the importation cxc
i. of goods by American or Biililh vefTels. reft
ie The other by imposing the identical duty on the am;
le exportation of goods from the British ports atic
e rope, by American vefTels. which forms the"differ
ii- ence between the duties payable cr the importation gat
>y of the fame goods into our ports by American or ext
British vefTels. _
:s, As the articles imported by our vefTels into the wii
a- British ports in Eur6pe are dissimilar fiom those
ell imported from the fame into our ports, one rule of tra
c- diffe«nce \»ould not effeCt the equalization fought dul
de for ; and as our difference of duties is not the fame tha
lea on all articles, being.higher on some than on others, the
n i and as moreover the quantities and amount of dif- of
U' j ferer.t articles differ widely and are liable to conti- or
he j nual pioportional variations, no uniform average exl
a- ' rule of countervailing these differences can be de- art
;r- : vised ; the coned execution therefore of this povr- coi
•of jer in the method firft fuggefled is impracticable and it
In it ispufumed, must be discarded. rcf
ef The power then, it would seem, can only be am
eir equitably executed by imposing on the articles tie
T S - which wc (hall export in American vefTels from thi
ler the British ports in Europe a duty identically the ob
)u- fame as that which conilitutes in any ease the dif- all
ftrence of duty, payable in our ports, on the fame in
Jt- articles imported from the British ports in Europe, na
on by a British or American vessel—Thus they may clt
ac- impose on tea and other asiatic goods, as well as on lat
or- th« European goods, which we (hall export from gr
jail the British ports in Europe, the identical duty or or
ind the feme sum which conflitutes the difference of co
na- duties payable in our ports on the importation from fa
thence of the fame articles by an American or a th
ta- British vessel. di
rri- The right to countervail our alien tonnfcge d»ty
ted by imposing an alien tonnageMuty on our vefTels p(
so- entering the British ports in Europe, equal'to that
be which shall be payable on their vefTels entering out E
los parts, will continue so long as the commercial trea- S
>rt- ty shall endure, and will apply to any future increase tl
ties of the tonnage duty on foreign vefTels that we may p;
eflablifh ; it is however fbpulated in the conclusion ti
>eo- of the fifteenth article, that we shall abflain from tl
of iocreafing the tonnage duty on British vefTels, and ai
the also fr»m increafitig the difference that now exists p
ries between the duties payable on the importation of \v
her .any articles into our ports in British or in Ameri
ties caa vefTels, until the expiration of two years after tl
the the termination of the War between France and ti
her Great Britain. But we are free to increase the one li
her or the other after tfte expiration of that period, si
ties and the' the British Government will have a right ti
lion to countervail by additional tonnage duties on our
ito- vefTels, any increase of that duty on their vefTels, ti
rto yet they will have no right to countervail any in- n
nes, crease of the difference between the duties payable j t
ner- on the importation of *ny articles into our ports, : c
"uch in Biitifn or in American vefTels, unless by a duty j t
I all common to all foreign nations-; the right rcferved 1 t
inge oivthis fubjeft being confined lo the difference that p
mia now exists will not reach such future increase.*
idee From this analysis of thei-fihar.d 15 th articles, c
the we sre the better enabled to perceive tije truth of . t
this the following proportions.
J. As for the purpose of encouraging or pro- 1
pirit te&ing the agriculture and of Great t
ight Britain, several of our productions in common with t
ther fimii«rr productions of the other nations are prohi- <
the hired, fr.im being imported into the British 1
5 are in Eutope ; we are free whenever our interest shall 1
require it, also to exclude any of the produdtions 1
ton- of the British dominions from being imported into <
paid our ports, extending such exchifions, as they do, <
vcf- to the like manufactures and produfUons of foreign
-the nations.
ton, Should that part ef the twelfth article which ,
teas has not tieen ratified, in its modification retain the
cdu- flipulation relative to the importation of coffee,
1 are sugar and the other productions of the Weft-In
s, dies, it wou'd conflitute aa exception to this pro
position. But as the Weft India productions- are
1 the dissimilar to those of our own country, they would
Bri. not fall within the reason of thefc prohibitions,
;xifls and therefore the exception would be of r.o confe
ritifli que nee.

duties in the Bitifh pertrf in Europe, we 3rf f - l'

dudlions or manufa&ures of the Britilh doming, 5
extending such duties, as they do, to the like p, u '
du&jons and mannfaftures of other foreign na|. ollS
3. As the navigation a& of Great Britain ia
order to extend their own (hipping has here, 0f4.r0
; confined the importation of foreign produ&it, ,s
■ into the British ports to British (hips, and to the
; (hips of the Gouutry producing the fame; th:
1 fifteenth article appears to contain an important
■ innovation on this celebrated aft ; inafmucli as,bv
; the tnoftobvious conltrucf ion of the terms, it gL-j
: us a right to impoit from our own territories into
- the Britifa ports in Europe every article and def.
i cription of goods and merchandizes, which any
r nation in their own (hips u allowed to import I*
i consequence whereof, while all other foreign ra
tions are prohibited and reltrained from impiirtin g
. in their own vessels into Great Britain any goods
. or merchandizes, except those of their own particu
r lar growth, produce or manufa&urr, we by the
. Treaty have a right to carry from our ports to the
. Britidl ports in Europe, not only goods and raer.
f chandizes of our own growth, produce or manu
- fa&ure, but also all such goods and merchandises
i the growth, produce, or manufadtireef any fores t
I nation as as nation producing or manufaduriao the
fame, would import in their vessels into Grcal-
Biitain.
b 4. Should it ever be politic to exclude all so.
teign vessels from importing, or cxporting^auy
- species of goods, wares, or merchandizes, r.y con.
y fining their importation, or exportation, to our own
n vessels ; we are perfeflly free to do so ; with the
n exception relative to the Wei'-India produ&ions
referred to under the firfl proportion ; thus for cx
e ample, we may prohibit the importation of >11 afi
-- atic goods, except in American bottoms.
That these articles treaty leave our navi.
II gation and commerce as free, and secures to us as
1 extensive advantages as have b«fore been procured .
by our commercial treaties with foreign nations,
e will be seen by the following comparison :
"e 1. By the articles before us, the patties ref
>f train thetnfelves from imposing any other or higher
it duties on the vessels and cargoes of each other,
le than they impefe on the vessels and cargoes of all 0-
s, ther nations ; and also from imposing a prohibition
f- of the importation or exportation of any article to
i- or from the territories of each other, which Ibailm.t
;e extend to all other natians. By the third andfounh
e- articles of our treaty with France, and by the fe
-- cond and third articles of our treaty with Prussia,
id it is llipulated that the fubjefb and citizensofthe
refpeftive parties, (hall pay in the ports, haveni,
je and places of each other, no other or greater du
es ties ofimpoftsof whatsoever nature they maybe,
m than those which the nations raoft favored (hall be
le obliged to pay ; aad moreover that they (hall enjoy
f- all the rights, liberties, privileges, and exemptions
le in trade, navigation and commerce, which the said
e, nations do, or (hall enjoy: and by the second srti
iy cle of the former, and the twenty sixth article of the
jn latter treaty, the parties agree mutually, not '«
m grant any paiticular favor in respeCt to navigation
or or commerce, which (halt not immediately become
of common to the other party, who (hall enjoy the
im fame favor, if freely granted, or 01 allowingtle
a the fame coifipenfation, if the coaceflion was con
ditional.
ty The stipulations in the three tieaties are on theie
els points equivalent.
iat The second ar.d third articles of our treaty wi h
lUt Holland,and the third andfounh of our treaty wiui
ta- Sweden, likewise contain mutual stipulations, jhat
afe the fubjefls and citizens of the fevera! part es (hail
lay pay in the ports, haven*, ar.d places of their refpee
ion tive countries, no other or higher duties or impolts
am than those which the nations mod favored (hall pay
nd and that they (hall enjoy all the rights, liberties,
ifts piivileges and exemptions in trade and navigation,
of which the said nations (hall enjoy. . , .
rri- 2d. The articles before us, after (lipu.Jti g tn-t

ind tifh dominions in Europe, a reciprocaj anJ
sue liberty of commerce, declare tkat the fame .all
