214s JOURNAL OF AN EMBASSY 
subject, I will insert the words “ merchants” and 
“ traders,” in lieu of “ subjects.” 
B. In this article it is stated that “ the price 
of the goods and effects of merchants may be 
taken away.” This would imply the exportation 
of gold and silver, to which we have not assent¬ 
ed.— E. I will modify the article thus far, until 
you have assented to the second article. 
B. With respect to the removal of families, 
we wish to take farther time to consider this 
question. 
The senior Atwen-wun read over the sixth 
article. 
B. We do not conceive that this article comes 
under the head of a commercial treaty.— E. This 
is true; but still it is an article that will be be¬ 
neficial to both parties. 
B. You have admitted that this does not come 
under the head' of a commercial arrangement; 
we think, however, that it may be necessary to¬ 
wards cementing the friendship between us; but, 
as upon this subject we have several matters to 
propose on our side, we wish to take time to 
deliberate. 
The senior Atwen-wun read over the seventh 
article. 
B. As we are great friends already, and as we 
wish to be greater still, we agree to this article.
