and if the Chinese could be induced to collect their Cus-
toms revenues in their ports as every other nation does,
and not on the high anus and by ap of a blockade of our
island. An opportuit; now occurs for the revision of
the oxisting arrangements; but any revision ought to be
in the direction of the loosening of our bonds and not of their boing rendered Lora stringent and more wighty.
