20th inst. two gray H()RSES, one of them hav
ing a dark mane and tail, 7 years old, and a scar
on his right hind pastern joint, occasioned by a
rope ; the other horse is 10 or 11 years old, ra

*nl shod before, when stolen. They are of the
common size, 'but heavy built. A man, who
calls his name William Dean, is suspected to
be the thief. Dean was missing the same time
the horses were. He is about 5 feet 7 or 8 in
ches high, broad across the forehead, but his
face tapers towards the chin, with a very large
mouth; rather stoop shouldered, unpleasant
countenance, and down look ; boasts much of
his manhood and is fond of mimicking the Dutch
brogue, and of gambling, and says he is a car
penter by trade. Had a blue cloth coatee with
a black velvet collar, gray casinet pantaloons,
and black hat with a low tapered crown and
broad rim. Fifty dollars renard will be given
for his apprehension and confinement in any
jail, or his delivery to me in Concord, N. C. to

The record of the last conference is
as follows:

sufficiently developed the sentiment! of their

subjects of their conferences, separtited under
the circumstanecB, which necessarily prevented
fur the presentf any further progress in the ne
gotiations.’*
It otight here to be observed, that
the subject of our trade with the West
Indies was one only of six important
and tlifficnlt questions, which formed
the subject of these ne^otiationa. The
slave-trade question, the claim for in
demnity for deported slaves, the north
eastern boundary of the United States,

The omission, therefore, under thesis
circumstances, tocomniun*cate olficialij^

not designed to break up the suspended

interest to the southern States of this
Union* It wa*, of course, the design
of the American Government, that spe
cial instructions, on all the other sub
jects of negotiation, should follow in
succession, and in season to be used.
Mr. King arrived in England in June
1825, but unfortunately in a state of
sevt're indisposition, owing to which,
Sir, and your own illness and the dis
persion of his Majesty’s Government
throughout the island, he was not pre
sented 0 you for three months.
Meantime, and to this I ask your
speqial attention, after Mr. King’s ar
rival and before his {iresentation, vour
laws ri^f June 27th and July 5th were
passed, by which a total ehange was ef-
I'ected in your Coloiiial system, and
hy which privileges were offered to all
tViendly pow’ers in their trade vvith t!ie
Hiitish West India rolonies, w!)ich the
liriti.^h Government had never thotight
of eonccding, nor any friendly power of
a'iking before. No instructions which
Mr. Kingshouhi have carried out, on
under a determination, soon revoked.
It was now perceived that an impor
tant change had been made in >'Our Col
onial System of a seemingly liberal na
ture, although of a character and to aa
extent which we could not precisely as
certain. In order to be able to meet
this change, by proper measures on our
part, circular letters were addressed by*
Mr. Clay, the new Secretary of State,
to merchants and intelligent citizens ia
different parts of the country, in order
to concentrate the sense of those con
versant with the matter, on a courso
proper to be pursued.
The result of these inquiries, and o^
the deliberations upon them was, to
make the experiment of the most liber
al proposals in case Great Britain should
really be found to have formed the inten
tion to reciprocate them. On the open
ing of the first Session of Congress, un
der the new Administration, the Presi
dent obsei’ved, that
“ In the renewal of the diplomatic missions*
on both Bides, between the two Governm nts,
assui an' es have been given and received of tho
continuance and increase of mutual confidenco
and c^»rdiali*y, by which the adjustment of fna«
ny points of dilference has already been effect
ed, and which affords the surest pledge for tbci
ultimate satisfactory adjustment of those whicli
will reaain opc*n, or hereai'ter arise.”
The subject of the Colonial trade watt
brought forward in Congress during tho
session, in the manner set forth in my
preceding letters. No intimation, W'as
given, 071 any aide of either House of
Congress, that the negotiation was at aa
end. On the contrary, the only reason
given why the passage of a law repealing
our discriminating duties should be post
poned was, that the whole subject waa
embraced in a negotiation pending^
and forthwith to be i-esumed. This fact
was known to you for yol to refer your
self to the debates.
As late as March 22d, 182fi, Mr-
Vaughan informed the American Gov^
eminent, that your Government “ waS
preparing to proceed in the imporlunf:
7i€goliations betv'ecn Great Britain and
the United States,”and in consideratioa
of Mr. King’s state of health, you invit
ed the United States “tojoin another
negotiator in the commission with him.”
— Had you at this tim ;, (nine months
after the passag- of the acts of the 27th
of.lune and r>th of July, regarded the
i negotiation on the colonial question as
definitely broken uf> and concluded,
common candor should have led you to
instruct Mr. Vanghan to say so.
So far from his, Mr. Vaughan actu-
I ally at this time, (as you your,>elf have
I gi atuitously apprized us, in your letter
of Jr.nuary, 1827,) received instructions
