A memorial has, it appear...
A memorial has, it appears, been Dpresented by the Eng. lish to the Dutch Plenipotentiaries, on concluding that famous treaty which we have within these few days brought under public notice. This meinorial is to us even more decidedly despicable than the treaty for which it was in- tended as an apology to the English nation. It is full of congratulations! on that happy issue of the conferences, which has placed the commercial interests of England and of Holland on such a delectable footing of one-sided reci- procity. It defines the Molucca or Spice Islands, of which, in the true spirit of free and enlightened commerce, the Dutch are allowed a monopoly, to comprehend all the rich and extensive Archipelago between Celebes, New Guinea, and Timor. It first delivers up millions of un- happy natives to Dutch harshness and rapacity, and then gently recommends them to the " patermal kindness" of the Dutch. It is, in truth, no less than a mean cloak for the weakness of those Ministers who have been so egregi- ously, on this occasion, deceived and bullied by Holland.
