(Laid before Parliament.)

[Continued from our last."]
> Dispatch from Mr. Secretary Canning
i to the Honorable D. M. Erskine,
dated Foreign Office, January 23,
1808.
Sir,
If there really exists in those indi.
viduals, who are to have a leading
share in the new administration of the
United St ites, that disposition to come
to a complete and cordial understan
ding with Great Britain, of which \ ou
have received from them such posi
tive assurances ; in meeting t!>at d s
position it would be useless and un
profitable to recur to a recapitulation
me causes irora wnicn me cimertn-1
ces between the two countries have a
risen, or the agreement, areatiy so of
ten repeated in support of that system
of retalia ion to which hi i majesty has
unwillingly had recourse.
That system his majesty must un
questionably continue to maintain, un
less the object of it can be otherwise
accomplished.
But after a profession on the part of
so many leading members of the go
vernment of the United States, of a
sincere desire to contribute to that ob
ject in a manner which would render
the continuance ot the system adoptet
by the British government unnecessa
ry, it is thought right that a lair op
portunity should be afforded to the A„
.nerican government to explain its
meaning, and to give proof of its sin
cerity.
The extension of the interdiction of
the American harbors to the ships o'
war of France as well as of Great Bri
tain, is, as stated in my other dispatch,
an acceptable symptom of impartiali
ty towards the belligerents ; the first
that has been publicly manifested b)
the American government. The like
extension of the non-importation act
to the other belligerents is equally pro
per in this view. These measures re
move those preliminary objections
which must otherwise have precluded
anv useful or amicable rlUrn <inn T.-.
this state of things, it is possible for G.
Britain to entertain propositions which,
while such manifested partiality was
shewn to her enemies, were rot con„
sistcnt either with her dignity or her
interests.
From the report of your convc rsa
tions wi h Mr. iVladisoo, Mr. Gallatin,
and Mr. Smith, it appccrs.
1st, That the American government
is prepared, in the event of his M-j s
ty’s consenting to withdraw* the orde-s
in council of January and Novenibci
1807, to withdraw contemporaneous!}
on its port their interdiction of i s har
bours to ships of war, and all Non-in
let course and Non-importation acts, so
lar as respects Great Biitain, leavirg
them in force with respect to France,
and the powers which adopt or act un
der her tlecr. es :
2 lly, \Vhat is oT the utmost impor
tance as precluding a newsourcc of mis
understanding which might arise after
the adjustment of the other questions
that America is willing to trnounce,
during the present war, the pretension
of carrying on in time of war, all trade
with the enemies colonies, from which
she was excluded during p ace :
3dly, Great Britain for the purpose
of securing the operation of the cm.
bargo and of the bona fide intention
of America, to prevent her citizens
from trading with France, ifnd the
sowers adopting and acting under the
French decrees, is to be considered ar
neing at liberty to capture all such A
nerican vessels as may be found at
emp.ingto trade with the? ports of any
*f those powers ; without which setu
ity for he observance of the f mbnr
go, the raising it nominally v hh res
>ect to Great Britain alone, wou’d i<
act raise it vi h respect to all tin
■vo. Id.
On these considerations his majesty
would consent to withdraw the* Or.
ders in Council cf January and No*
vember 180r, so far as respects Ame
rica.
As the first and second of these c<~n*.
sidrrationa are the suggestions of the
persons in authority in America, to
you, and as I»lr. Pinkney ha* recently
(but for the firat time) expressed to
me his opinion that there will be no
indisposition on the part ol his Gov
ernment to the enforcement by the
[naval power ot Great Britain, of the
regulations of America with re pect
to trance, and the countries to which
those regulations continue to apply,
but that his Government was itself a
warc that, without such reinforcement^
those regulations must be altogether
nugatory, I flatter myself ihat there
will be no difficulty in obtaining a dis
tinct and official recognition of these
conditions from the American Govern
ment.
For this purpose you r.re at liberty
to communicate this dispatch, in ex.
tenso, to the Ameiican Secretary of
State.
Upon receiving through you, on tl e
part of the American Government a
distinct and official recognition of the
three above mentioned conditions, his
majesty will lose no time m sending
to America a Minister fully emp >w
ered to consign them to a formal and
legular treaty.
As, howevt-r, it is possible that the
delay which must intervene before the
actual conclusion of a tr* aty, may ap
pear to the American Government to
deprive this arrangement of part of its
benefits, 1 arr lo autho:ise you, if the
American Government should be de
sirous cl acting upon the agreement
beiore it is reduced to a regular form,
either by the immediate repeal of the
Embargo, and the other acts in ques
tion, or by engaging to repeal them on
a particular day, to assure the Ameri- '
can Govarnment of his Majesty’s rea
diness to meet such a disposition in
the manner best calculated to give it
immediate cflact.
Upon the receipt here of an Official
Note, containing an engagement for
the adoption, by the Annrican Go
vernment, of the three conditions a<
hove specified, his Majesty will Le
prepared on the fai h of such engage
ment, either immediately (it the repeal
shall have been immediate in Ameri- ‘
ca) or on any day specified hy the A
merican government, lor that repeal,
reciprocally to recal thu Orders of
Ccuucil without waiting for the con
clusion of a treaty.
And you nre authorised in the cir.
cumstances herein described, to make
such reciprocal engagement on bis
A.ajest) ’s behalf.
I am, See.
