COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT OF 1830. 157 



the direct Intercourse between The United States and the British 

 India Colonies, are abolished. 



Mr. MacLane adds, that in performing these Acts, the President 

 of The United States has adopted, without reserve, the construction 

 put upon the Act of Congress of the 29th of May, 1830, by himself, 

 and by the Undersigned in his Note of the 17th of August last. 



The Undersigned having stated to Mr. MacLane, in his above- 

 mentioned Note, that, under such circumstances, all difficulty on the 

 part of Great Britain, in the way of the renewal of the Intercourse 

 between The United States and the West Indies, according to the 

 Proposition made by Mr. MacLane, would be removed, he has now 

 the honour to transmit to Mr. MacLane the accompanying Copy of 

 an Order issued by His Majesty in Council this day, for regulating 

 the Commercial Intercourse between The United States and His 

 Majesty's Possessions Abroad. 



The Undersigned cannot omit this opportunity of expressing to 

 Mr. MacLane the satisfaction of His Majesty's Government, at the 

 promptitude and frankness with which the President of The United 

 States has concurred in the view taken by them of this question ; and 

 at the consequent extension of that Commercial Intercourse, which 

 it is so much the interest of both Countries to maintain, and which 

 His Majesty will always be found sincerely desirous to promote by 

 all the means in his power. 



The Undersigned, &c. ABERDEEN. 



Louis McLANE, Esq.
