Interesting to Commercial jlfrru Extract of
a letter to a gentleman in this city, dated
' London Nov. 2 3.? Some late articles in our
. newspapers, respecting the American treaty,
may excite with you, as they have done here,
some concern, Ut these discussions should '
, not terminate in a satisfactory, manner.
From whence these articles come.or for what
, . purpose they were published, is matter of
conjecture i but I know, for a certainty that
enir government has neither made nor received
any communications whatsoever on this subject.
Perfcaps your' ministry may think it a wise
-: policy, in this way to let it be known in France
that you have suffered your treaty with us
Iodiet holding forth at the same time, an
idea that it will pot be renewed, except on
tpore favorable terms These proceedings
: may obtain favor for you in the eyes of Bona
