Sir,
I receiver! on the 112th instant, by Mr. Panel,
v'-'io/u I had sent some time before to France, a let
ter Irons genenl Armstrong, of whirh a copy.u
encl«>S!*(l ; anti, keeping in view the instructions con
t <in« I in your letter to msof tiie 11th «t Novem
ber 1 hate written to lord Wellesley, to enquire
• briber any, mul, if any, whirl blockades of France,
Instituted by Great Britain during the present war,
tu lore th.- 1st of January, 1307, arr understood
hereto he in force. A ropy u! 8!) letter Is lord
Wellesley is enclosed.
it is pot improbable that this official enquiry will
produce a declaration, in answer to il, that none of
those blockades are in torre; and 1 should presume
liiat sin h a declaration will be received in France
as substantially satisfying the condition announced
to me by general Armstrong.
I am not aware that ibi> subject could have been
brought belore the British government in any other
form than that which 1 have chosen. It would
not, I think, have been proper to have applied for
a rcvmv.tion of the blockade in question, ( it leest
before It is ascertained that they are inexistence)
or to have professed, in my letter to lord Wellesley,
to found upon general Armstrong’s communication
ruy enquiry as to their actual slate. 1 have, Howe
ver. supposed it to be indispensable (and have acted
accordingly) that I should explain to lord Wcllesl-y,
in conversation, the probability adorned by general
Armstrong's letter, that a declaration by this go
vernment, to the rfTrct above mentioned, would be
followed by the recal of the Bcrim decree.
I cannot, perhaps, expert to receive fiom lord
Wellesley n answer to my letter, in lime to send a
copy by the John Adams, now in the Downs or at
Portsmouth ; but I will ser.d it by an early oppor
tunity, ami will take care that gen- fal Armstrong
shall he made acquainted with il n llhoul delay.

With great consideration,

P. S. March 23, 1810. Since the writing of
this letter bud Wellesley has sent me the answer
(ot the 2d instant) of which atopy is now enclos

deficiencies to lord Wellesley in conversation, and
proposed to him that i should write bun another
tetter requesting explanations, lie assented to this
course, and I have written him the letter of the

reply has been promised vuy Inquentfy, but I can

Paris, 25ih January, 1810.
Sir,
A letter from Mr. secretary Smith of the 1st of
December Iasi, made it my doty to enquire of his
excellency the duke of Cadore, what were the con
ditions oil which bis majesty the emperour would
annul his’derree ; and whether, if Great Britain re
voked her blorkadrs of a date anterior to that de
cree, his majesty would consent to revoke the said
decree f To these questions 1 have this Hay receiv
ed the following answer, which 1 hasten to convey
to you by a special messenger.
ANSWER.
“ The only condition required for the restoration
by his majesty the euiperour of the decree of Beri n,
will he a previous revocation by the Bntish govern
ment of her blockades of France or part of France,
(such as that from the Elbe to Brest, &r.) of a
date antermurto that of the aforesaid decree.”
1 have the honour to lie.
With very high respect, tec.

not able at j^rtseni to specify more than one of the

this exfrut iatino disorder, were entirely cured by

It is attested to on oath by the son j that after a
