Great Cumberland Place,
*u January, 1810.
Mr I.ohd,
In the course of the ofTicial cor
respondence, winch has lately taken
place between the becrctar, of Stale,
and the Unued Stales aad Mr Jack
son, his majesty’s envoy extraordina
ry -and minister plenipotentiary at
Washington, it h:is utdor unately Hap
pened that Mr Jackson h<*« made it
necessary trial 1 should relative the
com nmi.s ot Hie Pieaidmt to teount
ids r< cal, and that, iu the u.can lime
the intercourse between that minister
and the American government should
be suspended.
I am quite sure, my Lord, that I
shall best consult your Loulship’s
wishes aqd the respect which I owe to
his Majesty’s government, by execu
ting my duty on this occasion wit:i
perfect simplicity and frankness. My
instructions, too, point to that course
as required by the honor of the two
governments, and as suited to he con
fidence which the Piesident entertains
in the disposition of his majesty’s go.,
ver meut to view in its true light the
subject to which they relate. VVi.h
•uch inducements to exclude from
this communication tvtry thing which
is not intimately con .ected with its
purpose, and on the other hand, to
set forth with candor and explicitness
the facts and considerations which
really belong to the cu e, I should be
unpardonable if I fatigued your Lord,
ship with unnecessary details, or af
fected any rcserv *.
It is known to veur Lordship that
Mr. Jackson arrived in America, as
the successor of Mr E'skine, while
the disappointemcr.t produced by the
disavowal of the arrangement o» the
19:h of April, was yet recent, and
while some other causes of, dissatis
faction, which had been made to asso
ciate themselves with that disappoint
ment, were in operation. But your
Lordship also knows dial his reception
by the American government was
marked by a’l that kindness and re
spect which were due to the uepre
seuta ive of a sovereign with whom
the United States were aiucerely desi
rous of maintaining tuc most iriendly
rela ions.
iMidicvcr were tne nopea, wiiicll
Mr Jackson’s mission had inspired,
of satisfactory expiations and ad
justments upon the prominent points
of difference between the two coun
tries, they certainly were n »t much
encouraged by the conferences, in
which, as far as he thought proper, he*
opened to Mr Smith, soon after his
arrival, the nature and tx-ent of his
powers and the views of his govern
ment. After an experiment, deemed
by the government of the United
States to be sufficient, it app ared that
these conferences, necessarily liable
to misconception and want of precisij
on, were not likely to lead to any prac
tical conclusion.
Accordingly, on the 9th of October,
Mr Smith addressed a letter to Mr
J »ckson, in which, after stating the
course of proceeding which the Ame
rican government had supposed itself
entitled to expect from him, with re
gard to the rej-cted arrangement and
the matters embraced by it, and after
recapitulating what Mr Sna th believ
ed to have passed in their recent inter
views relative to tho^e subjects, he
intimated that it wa* thought expedi
ent that their further discusionn, on
that particular occasion should be in
writing.
It is evident, my Lord, from Mr
Jackson’s reply of the 14;h of the
same month, that he received this in
timation (which carefully restricted
as it was, lie seems to have been wil
ling to-understand in a general sense)
with considerable sensibility. He
speaks of it in that reply as being with
out example in the annals of diploma
cy ; as a step against which it was fit
to enter his protest; as a violation in
his person of the m )3t essential lights
of a public minister; as a new difficul
ty thrown in the wav of a restoration
of a thorough good understanding be
tween the two countries.
I need not remark to your Lordship
that nothing of all this could with pro
priety be s iid of a proceeding, in itself
entirely regular and usual, required
b. the state of the discussions to which
only it was to be applied, and propo
sed in a manner perfectly decorous fit
unexceptionable. The government of
the United States h.ul expected from
Air Jackson an explanation of the
grounds of the refusal on the part of
n:s government to abide by Airi'ii
skt. e’s arrangement, accompanied by
a substitution of other propositions.
It had been colicctod from Mr Jack
son's conversations that he had no
power whatsoever to give any such
« xpl nation j or, in the business of the
orders in council, to offer any substi
tute for the rejected agreement; or, in
the allair of the Chesapeake, to offer
any substitute that could be accepted ;
and it had been mferied, from the
same conversations, th it, ev- n if the
American govern nen should propose
a subs vute for that part of the disa
vowed adjustment which regarded the
orders in council, the substitute could
not lie agreed to (if indeed Air jack-i
on had power to do more th in dis-1
cuss it) unless it should distinctly re- j
cognize conditions which had already
been declared to be wholly inadmissi
ble. 1 o wh.it valuable end, my Lord,
U>ose conversations, naving in view
cither fto rsstflt, or none that
« as atiaina:>'i*., c’.ijlil, under such cir
cumstances and up jj such topic?, be
emujuu-d, i; wo u . nocb.i easy to JisM
cover j and I think 1 may venture to
i assume tf:a’. the subsequent written
cor: e po deuce h isi completely shewn
that thvy could not have been other
wise than fruitless, and that thev were
not too soon abandoned ior that more
forma' course, to which from the be
ginning they could only be considered
hs preparatory.
After remonstrating against the wish
of ihj American govern nent to give
to the Turih-r dLc.issious a written
form, Mr Jackson disposes himself to
conform to ii; and, speaking in the
same letter of the disavowal ol the ar
rangement of April, he declare?, that
he was not provided with instructions
y explain the motives oi it; and he
seems to intimate that txpl inctiou
through him was unnecessary, not only
because t: h id al tady been made
through oilier channels, bu: because
the government of the United States
h »d ent-recl into the arrangement with
a lcdowledge ‘-that it could only lead
to the conseq ience3 that actually fob
lowed.’7 In the conclusion of the fourth
paragraph of the letter he informs Mr.
Smith, that th * dispatch o! iMr Can
ning to Mr Erskme, “ which Mr
Smith ha I made ihe bads of an ollici
al correspondence wrh the latter min
ister, and which hid been read to the
American minister, in London,” was
j the only despatch, by which the con
I ditions were prescribed to Mr Erskine
'for the conclusion of an arrangement
j with the Un ltd blues on the matter
to urhir.h ii r.• .#1
Mr Smith1 i answer to this letter
[bears elate the I9th ot October; and
; I beg your -Lordship’s permission to
J introduce from it the following quota
: Son .•—il 1 he stress you have laid on
w’nat you have been pleased to state
as the substitution of the terms finally
agreed on” (in the arrangement of A
pi il on the orders in eountii) “ for the
terms first proposed'*' (by Mr ErAine)
“ has excited no smail d gree of
surprize. Certain it i.* that your pre
decessor did present lor my cor.sider
adon the same donditions which now
appear in the present document—that
he wa< d spoked to urge them more
than the natu e of two of them (both
palpably inadmissible and one more
th .n menl; inidmis bie) could permit;
and thit, on hudi-g his fiist proposal
unsuccessful, the more reasonable
terms, cumprized in the arrangement
respecting tile orders iu council, w.re
adopt d ; Ami what is there i s this
to countenance the conclu ion you have
drawn in favour of the right of his
; Britum’c majesty to disavow the pro
ceeding*? Is an\ thing more com.non
1 in public negociations, than to b gin
[ with a higher demand, and, that fill
ing, to descend (o a lo'.vi: r? To have,
if not two sets of instru tUHvt.two, < r
more thin two grades of proposition*
in the same set ot instructions; to bs
gin with wiiat is the mo t desirable,
and to end with what is found 'o be
admissible, in cate the mo e desirable|
should not be attairu le i This must
be obvious to every uuders'anuing, &
is confirmed by unive s d expern n e.
*• What arc the real and entire in
structions given to yOur p edecessor,1
is a question essentially between him
and his governm-nt. That he had,'
or at least that he believed h- had,
sufficientTauthority to conclude the ar
ranwtni'nt. Km Inr.nnl ikiiii. rmr. .I.i
U * m - -
ring our <li •cussions were such as to
leave no rot) c for doubt, ilis subse
quent letter of the 15 h of June, re
timing his assurance to me, “ that the
terms of the agreement so happily
concluded by the rereut negotiation
will be strictly fulfilled oil the part of
his majesty,” is an evident indication
of what his persuasion th*»n was bs to
his inst uctions. And ith a view to
shew what his impressions have been
even since the disavowal, I must take'
the liberty of referring you to the nn
nexed extracts (see C.) from h s offi
cial lettefs o! the 31st ol J tly and of
the 14 h of August.
4t The declaration, that the despatch
from Mr Canning to Mr Erskine of
the 23d of January is the only dis
pttch, by which the conditions were
prescribed Mr Erskine for the con
clusion of an arrangement on the mat
ter to which it relates, is now for the
first time made to this government.
And I need hardl) add that, if that
dispatch had been communicated at
the time of the arrangement,or if it
had hern known that me propositions
contained in it, and which we re at first
presented by Mr Erskine, were the
only ones on which he was authorised
to muke an arrangement, tiie ar r.nge
ment wouiu not have been made.”
1 suppose, my Lord, that it was
impossible to disci dm for the Am ri..
can government, in more pieci.c and!
intelligible language th'»u is found ioj
this quotation, nil knowledge ol Mr
Erskine’s instructions incompatible !
with a »inceref honorable a^d justin'*
able, belief tha. iir w.u*, as he |>r»»ic*~i l
to be, fully authorised to make
agreement *o which he undertook to
pledge the faith of h a Majesty's r\>
vermnent. Yet in Mr Jackson's next
letter (of the 23d of October) to IYir
Smith, he says—“ 1 have therefore
no hesitation in informing you that
his Majesty was pleased to disavow
the agreement, concluded between
rou and Mr Erskinc* b.cause it was
in violation of h it grp tie man’s initruc •
tio s, and altogether without autbo> i v
to subscribe to the terms of it. These
instructions l now understand by your
letter as well as from the obvious de
ductions which 1 took the liberty of
making in mine of the llth instant,
were at the time in substance made
known to you. No stronger itlustm*
tion therefore can be given of the dc
| viation from them which occurred
I than by a reference to the terms of
i your agreement.’*
Your Lordship will allow me to take
for granted that this passage cannot he
misunderstood. Its direct and evi*
dent tendency is to fasten upon the
government of the United States an
imputation most injurious to it3 honor
and veracity. The charge, that it had
all along been substantially apprized/
however it might affect tor he ignorant, •
of the instructions which Mr Er.«
skines’s arrangement was said to have
violated, had before been insinuated j
but it is here openly made, in reply,
too, to a paper, in which the con'rary
is formally declared by.the official or
gan cf the American government.
i his harsh accusation, enhanced by
the tone of the let’er in wbteh it ap
peared, was in all respects as extraor
dinary as it was offensive. It took
the shape of an infere ce from lac.s
and asseverations which neces3a» ily led
to the opposite conclusion. It was ore
I ( .* >1 f nn ..tuM f *
•*** ^ a viai;n ui c A
planation, which Mr Jackson profes
sed nc4-«to be authorised, by his go
vern ment to offer at ail, but which he
chose so to offer fro n himself as to
convert explanation into insult. It
was advanced not only without proof,
and agdnst proof, but against all co
lor of probability. It could scarcely
have been advanced under any con
viction that it was necessary to the
case which Mr Jackson was to main
tain j for h'19 Majesty’s government
had disavowed Mr Erskins’s arrange-’
ment, according to Mr Jackson’s own
representation, without any reference
to the knowledge which this accusa
tion imputed to the government of the
United States; and it need not be
st ued that no allusion whatever was
made to it by Mr Secretary Canning*
in those informal communications to
me which Mr Jackson has mentioned.
It was not, moreover to have b-en ex
pected that, in the apparent state of
Mr Ja-hson’s powers, and in the actu_
al posture ot hss negotiation, he would
seek to irritate where he could not
arrange, and sharpen disappointment
by jyrli>M and unprovoked indignity.
ET*PVSe’ llle government
ol United States adopted on this
paiSfu^ncAsion, was such as at once
derr^uii^ted a sincere respect for the
public character with which Mr Jack
son was invested, and a due sense of
Its own uigni y. Mr Jackson’s con
duct had left a feeble hope that fur
ther intercourse with him, unproduc
tive of good as it must be, might still
be reconcileable with the honor of the
A I i >1 n A r •
■ * ry ' * ~.a x itur up*
portuni:y tvas accoidingly presented to
him of m iking it so, by Mr Smith’s
letter ofthu 1st of November, of which
I beg leave to insert the concluding
paragraph
“ I abstain, sir, from making any parti
cular animadversions on several irrelevant
and improper allusions in your letter uot
at all comporting with the professed Jdis*
position to adjust in an amicable manner
the differences unhappily subsisting hr*
•went the two countries. But it would b®
improper to conclude the few observations,
to ^chioh 1 purposely limit myself, wiihm t
adverting to your repetition of a ltngu<g®4
uijblybVa knowledge on the part of this
go^rnmiht Jhat the instructions cf your
preowc-ssoj^id not authorise the arrange*
ment ffffllied by him. After the explicit
and'peremptory asseveraMoi, »ha this g »„

Whatever was the sens®, in which Mr
Jackson bad used the expressions to which
the American government to k rxcep ion,

Ulty were understood \ and, consequently,
