Besides Consul Campion, several other British Political Agents and Consuls-General lie in the cemetery of St. George. The stones in memory of John Goddard and Charles Gordon can no longer be deciphered, but the memorials of Richard Lawrence (1750), James Traill (1787), and Sir Thomas Reade (1849), are still in good repair. No American ever visits Tunis without making a pilgrimage to the tomb of the poet John Howard Payne, whose body lies under a luxuriant pepper- tree close to the grave of Consul-General Traill. The inscription on it runs thus:— IN MEMORY OF COL. JOHN HOWARD PAYNE, Twice Consul of the United States of America for the Kingdom of Tunis, this stone is here placed by a grateful country. He died at the American Consulate in this city after a tedious illness, April 1st, 1852. He was born at the city of Boston, State of Massachusetts, June 8, 1792. His fame as a Poet and Dramatist is well known wherever the English language is spoken through his celebrated ballad “Sweet Home,” and his popular tragedy of “Brutus,” and other similar productions. The monument is an oblong, thick slab of white (Italian) marble lying over the grave, and each edge of the slab is inscribed with a line of poetry, thus: “Sure when thy gentle spirit fled To realms beyond the azure dome, With arms outstretched God’s angels said— Welcome to Heaven’s Home, Sweet Home.” Several Danish and Norwegian Consuls are also buried in this quiet and picturesque graveyard. D. _British Treaty with Tunis in 1662._ 1. All past grievances shall be forgotten, and a perpetual peace on a firm basis, coupled with perfect liberty of commerce, shall exist henceforward between the subjects of His Majesty the King of Great Britain and the people of Tunis. 2. The vessels of the two nations shall have the right to enter the ports of both countries, paying the duty on what is sold, and carrying away the remainder of their cargoes without let or hindrance, and freely enjoying all customary privileges. The last duty fixed on the embarkation and disembarkation of merchandise at the Goletta shall be reduced to the old rate.
