In the same paper, we expressed an opinion, that no more than 5 per Cent on Opium would be leviable, if legalized, or Smuggling would continue. From the best authority, we now learn that 15 per Cent duty, would extinguish the illicit trade and 40,000 chests, at this rate, on a annual Import of an average valuation of $ 450 per chest, would produce a revenue to the Emperor of $2,700,000, By this, it will be seen, that the adoption of H, E. the Plenipotentiary's advice would more than double the Imperial revenues.

Lord Ashburton has returned to England, hav. ing completed a Treaty with America, which is emphatically called, the Treaty of Peace. It refers to the three mam points in dispute between the two countries, the Boundary Question; the Slave Trade, and the extradition by either state, of per- sons charged with murder and other hemous crimes. The subject of impressment remain in statu quo.

o. The treaty has given boundless satisfac- tion in America; but many, uotes of disapproba- tion have been sounded in England. If it prevents war by any concessions which are not absolutely dishonourable, it is a blessing. The mother can concede to the daughter without much sacrifice of dignity.
