useful trade for this country, as he can supply, in return for all 
such articles of use and comfort, and advantage to himself, as he 
requires. 
12. You will show to him the advantages of putting down the 
foreign Slave Trade, and of building upon that abolition a lawful 
and innocent trade. You will say to him, that his subjects will 
thereby be induced to cultivate the sod, to value their habitations, 
to increase tlieir produce, and to behave well, in order to keep the 
advantage which that produce wUl give to them ; that they will

stipiilate in return for a free right of barter for his subjects, and 
the abolition of any monopoly in his own favour, should such 
exist.
