. On the 27th of Nov. Mr. Brownel],
deliverbd to me your letters as the llth,
H—th and 28d of the preceding month ; and
on the Saturday foilowing [had a conser
ence with the marquis VVclicslc-y ; in the
course of which ! cxPiained to him lsiuliy
the grounds upon which I was instructed
to request Mr. ]ackson's immediate recai,
and Upon which the officiai intercourse be
tween that minister and the Amarican go
vernment had been suspcndcd.
Lord W'clicslcy's reception of what I said
to him was srank and friendly; and I left
him with :: persuasion that we should have
no cause to be dissatificd with the final
course of his government on the subject of
our conference.
XVc agreed in opinion that this interview
could only be introductory to a more for
mal proceeding on my part; and it was
accordingiy settled betwan us that I should
present an official letter to the eﬀect of my
verbal communication.
Having prepared such a letter I carried
it myself to Downing street, a few days af- 0
terwards, and accompanied the: dctivcry of
it to lord Weiiesley, with some cxpianatory
observations, with which itis not I prcsumc
necessary to trouble you. You Wiii find a
cc .y of this letter encloscd. and will be a
ble to coliccc from it ihe substance of the
reater part of the statbments and rematks .
which I thought it mctt' duty tc'z make in the isi
conversation abovemcntismcd.
Although I was aware that the answer:
to mv letter would not be very hascily giv
en, [certainly was not prepared to expect
the delay Which has actuaiiy ocrurred.-—-—
The president will do me thcjusticc to be
lieve, that I- have used every exertion con
sistent with discretion and the nature of the
occasion, to shortcn the delay, which tho' .
not ascxibablc. 88 l persuade myself to ?

been productivessos some disadvantugc. A ;
copy of the answer received on the day of
