British West Indies in our own bottoms generally, or of
certain defined burthens, the articles which, by act of Parliament, 28 Geo. III., c. 6, may be carried thither in British
bottoms, and of bringing from thence, directly to the
United States, in our bottoms, of like description, the articles which, by the same act, may be brought from thence to
the United States in British bottoms, this would afford an
acceptable basis of a treaty for a term not exceeding fifteen
years; and it would be advisable to conclude a treaty upon
that basis. But such a treaty, instead of the usual clause
concerning ratification, must contain the following : " This
treaty shall be obligatory and conclusive, when the same
shall be ratified by his Britannic Majesty of the one part,
and by the President of the United States, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, of the other."
But if a treaty of commerce cannot be formed upon a
basis as advantageous as this, you are not to conclude or
sign any such, it being conceived that it would not be
expedient to do anything more than to digest with the
British ministry the articles of such a treaty as they appear
willing to accede to, referring them here for consideration
and further instruction previous to a formal conclusion.
