The latter was given and Franklin and Lord Cholmondeley were brought together on friendly terms.

There are three-yes, four-Interests to b appertain to the former sovereign, to the in kept in sight in regard to the Pallippines. There habitants themselves, to the other Izading powers whose commercial and political balance may be affected, and to the Uslied States.
(1) The rights of Spato :--
Military occupation does so wipe out the sovereignty of an invaded territory. That sovereignty may by locapable of assertion, yet it avives-la suspense, as it were-ant!] either revived or removed by a treaty of peace. Spalo will thus retain rights, even in case of completa conquest, which must be eventually weighed and adjusted. What line this will tako must depend upon the influence of other powers, upon our own sense of expediency, and upon the fortune of war in oiber directions?
(a) The rights of the Philippines Islanders - It would be unwarranted to say that no cession of these islands would be legitimate unless ratl- fied by the wishes of their inhabitants. In a tendency, though even then yielding to political highly civilized community this is the modern exigencies, as in Alsace-Lorraine. But it is a practical question whether the Phillppiacs could transfer proved to be against the will of their be anything but a burden to this country if their millions of lahabitants, many already in revolt, and who are absolutely foreign to our blood, our usages, our laws, our ideals.
(1) The interests of othe powers:

Great Britain declined the overture, however, and Lord Castlereagh wrote to the State Depart ment suggesting direct nezolations. Accordingly Henry Clay and Jonathan Russell were added to the Peace Commission, receiving new instruc tions January 28th, 1814. British commistioners were appointed and the Commisslan met t Ghent on August 8th. The British presented four points, the Americans three. Among the British polate was that refaling to the maintenance of warships on the great laken, which has since become an established rule. The peace irenty was finally agreed to on December 24th, 1814.

THE MEXICAN WAR, During the Mexican War, while hostilities were si in progress, the Chlef Clerk of the State Department, Nicholas I, Trist, was sent to Mexico to open negotiations for peace. He was Instructed to demand the cession of New Mexico and California. These terms were related by Mexico. Thereupon the United States recalled Tilst. This caused mach agita tlon in Mexico, for it was feared the United States would adopt very aggressive steps. Teist had nos acted on the recall, but had remained In Mexico. He succeeded, as a result of the changed feeling, in making a treaty of peace, known as the treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, on Febrosty 4th, 1848. At the close of the Clol War there were no peace regolations, ortreaty, In the usual rense. Belog a rebellion the "Federal Government recognised no power with which it could make a freaty.
