Sit—According to the intimation which I gave to you in
our last asuferen.e, I have now the honour to inclose to you
a copy of the Order iu Council, which His 31ajesty has di-
rected to be issued, for the purpose of preventing, as far as
possible. any ioconvenience or detriment to the Merchants
of the United States, who may have entered into commer-
cial .peculation on the faith of.. the usianthorisud engage-
ments of Mr. Erskine, previously to the isotification in Ame-
rica, of Hit Majesty's disavowal of those engagements.
Having had the humour to read to you, in erten..., the in-
structions with which Mr Erskine was furnished, it is not
necessary fur me to enter into any explanation of those
points in which Mr. Erskine has acted, not only not in con-
ormity, but iu direct contradiction to them.
forbear, equally, from troubliug you, Sir, with any com-
ment on the manner in *hick Mr. Erskine's munications
have been received by the Amer.cau Goverunieut, or upon
the terms and spirit of Mr. Smith's share of We consider-
ation.

Such observations will be communicated more properly
tbrissigit the Minister, whom His Majesty has directed to
proceed to America, not on any special mission, which Mr.
P..raltiwa was not authorised to promise, except upon condi-
tions, out use of which he has obtained ; but as the suc-
cessor of Mr. Erskine, whom His Majesty has not loot a
moment its retaining.

I isave the honour to be, with great consideration,
Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
