Jacasue lac abscrn.
Washiattoo, Oct. tl, moo.
Sta.soThe letter which you did inn the honour to
address to me on the WI inst. was delivered to toe
on the follotving day. 1 shall, without bass of tune,
transmit It I. my Court; where the various mid
important considerations which it einbrac-is will
receive the attention due to them. Is, the interval.
I would beg leave to submit to you the fullowiug
olvservattotis, as they ores out of the commuinces-
bons that have already occurred between 15.,.
In et ditty which I etH.cri‘e to he doe
to my public cli trotter, I have never suggested.
unr wean to suggest, that the mode of itegormting
prescribed by you oil this particular ocresioi.--an
*elected for the purpose of removing existtlig
thwereoee.—vgas otherwase objectionable, than as
it appeared to kw kiss calculated, than it doe; to
you, to answer the professed purpose of our neve-
ciatium.
It was against the general principle of debarring
a Foreigii Minister, in the short space of one week
after hi. arrival. and without any previous Wham.-
des-standing with him, from all personal intercourse,
that Itl ght tt right to protest. Sluice. how-
ever, I find, by your letter, that it is not intruded
to apply that priuciple to me, I will rattly observe.
that, in the tyre which you tneuttou to Instroaroe
currrd between Mr. Canning and Mr. Pinknev,
the conferences were held under an expeetatimi, at
least on the part of the former, of their leading to a
written communication; whereas, in ours, 1, from
the beginning. stated that I had no such commuo
nication to make. There is also this essential dif
ference between the two cases, that Mr. l'inktiey
was charged to Minn an important proposal to Ilia
Majesty's Government, the particulars of which it
meg'•* be very material to hate correctly stated ;
whilst the object of that part of my converseituu.tu
which you seem to attach the most importance,
was to say, that I ems not charged to make auy
proposal whatever.
It could not enter into my view to withhold from
yow an explanation, merely because it had been
already given, lint because, having been Sit wren,
I 0.0•1.1 not imagine, distil informed by you, that a
repetition of it would he required at tiny hands. I
am quite certaie. that His Majesty's Governinent
havhig complied with what was coasidened to 1w
tile siallgtolitiel die) Unposedup it on ihis circa-
h.id this linen foreseen, have added to
the proofs of conciliatory good faith already main-
lested, the farther complacency to the wishes of
tile anted States, of adopting the form of e,rar
nwatinn most agreeable to them, and of giving
a-a.m.:11 me the ex:donation iu question. I bete
therefore, no hesitation in infor.aing you, that His
Majesty was pleased to disown v the agreement coo-
eluded beteren you and Mr. E.skiiie. because it
was concluded in violation of that gentleman's
iii-
-uuctions, and altogether wi /bout authority to sub-
scribe to the terms of it. These instructions, I
now understand by your letter. as well as from the
obvious derlmtion which I took the liberty of mak-
ing in rotor of the Ilth troitaist, were, at the nine,
iu stilestatice, made knife n to you ; uo stronger
illitstrotton, therefore, CAI be given of the devintion
from thew which occurred, than by a rererence to
the fermi; of your agreement.
Mailing eau be wore ii• tortoise than the fre-
quency with which. in the co..tue of a complicated
siegociation. Ministers are tarnished with a grails-
Uon of conditions, on which they may be stiCersively
authorised to condole. So common is the case
winch you put- hypothetically, that. in acceding to
the justice of your statement, I' feel myself
;wiled to make only our onsery omit upon it, whiei
114 that it does not strike me its 6 tong ulnas the
consideratium of the unauthuriard itgreetnesit con-•
' eluded here, inasmuch as. in point of hid. Mr.
Erskine bad no such graduated instruction. You
are already aegiseinted with that which wait given,
and I have bud the honour of alltstintitiz you, that
it was the only one by which the r_v:,dlitions on
which he was to conclude were prescribed. So. far
from .the terms, which he was actually induced
to accept, having been contemplated in that in-
struction, he himself States that they were substi-
toted by you in lieu of those originally
_proposed.
It may perhaps be satudactory that I should ivy
here that 1 most willingly subecribe, on this oyes-
emu. to the highly respectable authority which you
have touted ; and I join issue with you upon the
essentials which that authority require% to consti-
tute. a right to disavow (beset of a piddle Minister.
It is not imeniterial to observe on the gualifice-
firm contained in the passage yeti[ 'hive patted, es it
nn; die. the r ase of 4 Minister concluding is rids.
of afiill power. To this it would suffice to answer,
ill.st tdr. Erskine had no firll power; and his act
cousequentlP dues not come *stain the range of
your quotation, although it tinnot he forgotten.
that the Coiled States here, at no distant period,
most freely exercised the right of withholding their
ratification from even the authorised act of their
own diplomatic «gents. done under the avowed
selielioll of a full power.
I conceive that what has been already said, esta-
blishes, beyond the reach of doubt or controversy,
that His Mejesay's Mininter did violate hi. Mortice
lions, mod the consequent right in His Ma.esty to
disavow 44 act so concluded. That Ha. Majesty
had strong sad solid reuses: for so doing, will ap-
pear, not only from his untructions having hero
violated, but from the circuinstance that the viola-
tion of them involved the sacrifice of a great sys-
tem of polity, deliberately adopted mod acted upon,
•in just and necessary retaliation of the unprece-
dented modes's( hostility resorted to by his enemy.
There apissors to have prevailed throughout the
whole of this traseetion, • fundamental mistake.
which would suggest that His Majesty had proposed
to propitiate the Government of the United States,
in order to induce it to consent to the renewal of
commerenal intercourse between the two countries :
as if such had been the renitioas of Greed Britaiii
and America, that the selvanteCes of that inters

given to it. At present, there is no engagement
Wiesen the two countries, oo laws of Congress

In retard to the colonial trade, I need only üb.
serve, that all, or nearly all, the enemies' colonies
are blockaded by British squadrons; it cannot,
therefore. be so much an object of solicitude. as
you insagice, to obtain the relinquishment of the
wide of any country to those colonies. On the
contrary, you will find it stated, in my letter of the
11th ott., to be a " mitter of indifference, whether

inlaid, or au arrangement by mutual consent sub-
atheist' in its roons."

If it were otherwise. and ti Government were
in all cases to be bound by the act, however outgo-
thorimed. of an accredited Minister, there would be
no safety in the appointment of sneh a Minister,
anti ratification would be useless. No full power

was in contemplation.

Sta—ln my letter of the toth ult. I stated to
you the declaration of your letter of the 11th, that
the dispatch from Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine,
of the i3cl of January, was the only dispatch by
which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Er-
skine, for the conclusion of an arrangement on the
matter to which it related. was then, for the first
time, made to this Government." And it was added,
that if that dispatch had been communicated at the
time of the arrangement. or if it had been known
that the propositions contained in it were the only
ones on which he was authorised to make an ar-
rangement, the arrangement would not have beau
wade.

In my letter or the Ist instant, adverting to the
repetition in your letter of the ofdult. of a lan-
guage implying a kuowledge in this Governmeat
that the iustructiono of your predecessor did not
authorise the arnsugentoat formed by him, an in-
timation was distinctly given to you, that after the
expl.cit ad peremptory assevetatiou that this Co-
veritaent hail not any such knowledge, and that,
with such a knowledge, such su aresuiti.naent would
not have been made, no such iusiunation could be
admitted Ly the Covcrument.
Finding that, iu your reply of the 4th instant,
you have used n language, which cannot be nuclei.-
stood but as re-iterating, soil eves aggreveiwg, the

preclude opportunities which are thus shoved, to-
inform you, dust no further commuuiratious will- be
received irons you. and that the ilecessity of this de-
termination will, without delay, be made known to
your Government. In the mean time, a rently at-
tention will be given to soy communication's aifect-.

other channel that may be substituted.

Mr. Oakley, His Majesty's Secretary of Lega-
tion, is &tared by Mr. Jackson to state to the Se-
cretary of State, that, as Mr. Jackson has been al-
ready once most grossly insulted by the inhabitants
of the town of Hampton, in the unprovoktd. lan-
guage of chose held by them to several Officers bear-
ing the King's uniform, when those Officers were
themselves tiolently assaulted, and pot in imminent
danger; he conceives it to he indispensable to the
isafetv of himself, of the Gentlemen attached to his
mission, and of his family, during the remainder of
'•their stay in the United States, to he provid...d with
special passports or safeguards boot the American
Gotcrunieut. This is the more necessary, since
some of the newspapers of the United States are
daily using a language, whose only tendency can
be to excite the people to commit violeuce upon
Mr. a/ 41. kiwi'', per-on. In consequence, he re-
I quests that the under-inentionied Denies may be
inserted in the ilecumeitt to he furnished him.
