LORD CAMDFN's STATEMENT.

"As it may be inferred, from a statement which has appeared
in the public paper, that Lord Camden withheld from Loril
Castlereagh a communication which he had been desired to make
to him, it is necessary that it should be understood, that, how-
ever• Mr. Canning might have conceived the communication ul -
laded to, to have been made to Lord Camden, it was never
stated to Lord Camden, that the communication was made at
the desire of Mr. Canning; and, that so far from Lord Camden
haying been authorised to make the communication to Lord Cas-
tlereagh, he was absolutely restricted from so doing.
" As it may also he inferred, that Lord Camden was expected
to prepare Lord Castlereagh's mind for any proposed change, it
is necessary that it should betmdcrstood, that Lord Camden never
engaged to communicate to Lord Castlereagh any circumstances
respecting it, before the termination of the Expedition."
