MR- PINKNEY TO MR. SMITH
London, 2d Muy. 1810.
SIR. J
I had the honor to infohm you, in my let
ter of the 9Mi of last month, iliai I had, up
on full reflection, thought it necessary to
prepare a letter to lord Wellesley, reciting
the French minister’s official statement to
general Armstrong, of the conditions, on
which the Berlin decree would he recalled
and inquiring, whether there exists any ob
jection, on the part of the British govern
ment, to a revocation, or to a precise de
claration that they are no longer in force, of
the blockade of May, 1806. and of that of
Venice, especially the former.
I have now the honor to ti ansrnit a copy
of the letter, which, in pursuance of that
determination, I have just sent to lord Wei
h sley. I am not able to say, what will be
the nature of the answer to it ; but, if it
should be satisfactory, I will lose no time
in communicating it to general Armstrong.
I have the honor to be, &c. &c.

MR. PINKNEY TO L8HD WELlESLEf.
Clreat (Ju.7nbrrlan.fi Place,
30 th s/jiril, 1810.
my lord,
I he French minister for foreign affairs
has stated, in an official note to general
Armstrong the minister plenipotentiary of
<he U. S at Paris, that “ the only conditi
on. required for the revocation, by the
French government, of the decree of Berlin,
will be the previous revocation, by the Bri.’
tish government, of her blockades of France,
(such as that from the Elbe to Brest &c.)of
r date anterior to the date of the aforesaid
decree ”
I had supposed, that the blockades of
France, instituted by G Britain before the
date of the Berlin decree, were already
Withdrawn, virtually, though not formally,
by reason of the restrictions, which thev
established, having been provided for and
comprehended in certain orders in council
issued after the date of that decree ; and
your lordship’s letter to me, of the 26'h of
last month, certainly seems to confirm that
supposition, with regard to the blockade of
May, 1806 although it proves it to be er
roneous with regard to the only other block
ade, which falls within the description of
the French minister’s communication, name
ly, the blockade of Venice, established in
July of the same year.
As I am anxious to neglect nothing, which
may have a tendency to produce the repeal
of the Berlin decree, and of such other de
cree.s and orders, as the government of the
U S. has, from time to time, complained of.
I beg to inquire of your Urdship w.*h a
view to the terms of the above mentioned no'e
to general Armstrong, whether there exists
any objection, on the part of his majesty's
goverr.rucui. to a revocation, or to a decla
ration that they are no longer in force, of
the blockades in question, especially that
of May, 1806.

I have he honor to cnll your Lordship’s
.'um ion. .n pursuance of the instiuciions
of rny goVerntnen , toa practice, which h.is
h.r some time past prevailed in this coun
try, ot forging American ships’ papers for
the purpose of giving English vessels the chu
racter of American bottoms.
It appears, from various sources of infor
niation. that these fabrications are carried
ton great extent, particularly in London,
and that the fraudulent papers are purchased
as a regular article of traffic, and used in
numerous instances, so as to bring mto sus
P'Cion the genuine docuin nts on which the
safetv ol American commerce depend*, and
to subject that commerce to serious ve* iti
on and loss.
I am confident, my lord, that it. is only
necessary to suggest to his Majesty's govern
ment, the existence of these abuses, so in
jurious to the United States, and so pernici
ous to their g< n *ral tendency, to intluce it
to cause immediate enquiry to he made,
with a view to an efficacious remedy. I
have, therefore only to add, that I am in

“ I have not yet obtained from lord Wei
lesley an answer to my letter of the 30 h of
April, concerning the British blockades of
France before the date of the Berlin decree.
In a short conference, on Sunday las», (the
10th instant.) I pressed for a prompt and
favorable reply, and shall perhaps receive
it in the course of a few days. 1 had re.
quested an interview on this subject, on the
18th of last month, in consequence ot a let

of lord Wellesley’s health prevented its ta . |

the morning, there is not time to copy it._
It shall be forwarded, however. In Mr.

the mean time, it will be sufficient to state '
to you, that I am expecting every day lord '

and that in our conferences, which resulted
in an understanding that he wouid make
such au overture no objection was mt.de by i
hnn -to an engagement to restore the men
to the ship from which they were forcibly
taken, without the offensive reservation
prescribed to \Tr. Rn*e and Mr. E,.skine,

offer a suitable provision, without any Ye_

as a part ot the terms of satisfaction ; to for
bear all refetence. in the papers leading to,
or containing the arrangement, .o the Pre

nee ed with i* ; to adopt, j„ those papers, a
style and manner not only respecful. but
kind to our governmen ; to recite in them,
(a m Mr. Erskme’s letter to you in April’ '
1809.) that admi-al JK-rklev had been
promptly disavowed, add as a mark ot his
Britannic majesiy’s displeasure, recalled
from an important command 1 have m-j
on this occasion with nothing of a discoura
gmg nature, except on the impracticable
point or the trial and punishment of the of
tending officer. On that point it is impossi
ble to prevail ; but there will be no objection
to my declaring, in a reply to the overture,
the expectation ot the American govern
ment, that the officer shall be tried and
punished or to a rejoinder, (if I wish u>
