COPY OF A DIkPATCH FROM MR. SECRETARY CAN-
NING TO /VIE 110 N. D. M. URSKINE, DA TED FO-
REIGN OFFICE 231) JANUARY, 1809.

'SIR—If there really exists in those ipdiVicloals
-also are to have a leading share in the new. Admi-
nistration of the United States that' disposition' to
enme to a confplete and cordial understanding with
, Lireat,,Britain, of , which you have received from
them such positive assqrances, in meeting that dis-
position, it' wonld be useleseand unprofitable *to re-
cur to a recapitulation of the utilises from which the
differences bei.we(n the ti 'o Governments have
:Ilium, or of the argunients already so often repeat-
ed in support of that system of retaliation which
MS Majesty has 'unwillingly had reenutse. .That_
system his Majesty must unquestionably continue to
maintain, unless the object of it can be otherwise
accomplished.
But after the,professi;-in on the part of so many of
the leading members of the Goverumeet _of the
United States, of a sincere desire to contribute to
that objrce in a manner wind) shou'd render the
continuance 'of the system adopted•by the British
Government unnecessary, it is' thought right I hat a
fair opportunity should be afforded to the American
Government to explain its meaning, and to give
pruot of its sincerity. '
Tia extension of the interdiaion of the American
jtarbutirs to the ships of war ofyrance'as well as of
Great .Britain, as stated ill my tot-trier dispatch,
an acceptable symptom of a system of impartiality
towards boqr belligerents; the first that lids beet,
publicly matlifestrd by the American Got eminent.
The like extension of the Non-Importation Act to
other belligerents is equally proper in trus
These measures reirtuve tiros;; preliminary objec-
tions, which must otherwise have precluded any
Lawlor br amicable disci. ssion. In this slate 01 things,
it:.rs possible for Great Sritain to eutertain propos'.
tious, which, while such manifest partiality was
s)iewn to her enemies, were not consistent either
.With her dignity or her interest.
from the repo* 'of your conversations with Mr.
M'id,son, Mr- Gallatin, and Mr. Smith, it ap-
pears
.
'la. That the American Govirnmetit is prepared,
in the min of, his Mateo :is consenting to withdraw
the Orders in Council ofJanuary and November,
I[to7, to withdraw contemporaneously 6n its part
the interdittion of its hat'bou'rs to Alps Of war, and
all Non-intercourse and •Non-inipariation Acts, so
far 'as respeas Great Britain, leaving them in force
with respect to France, and the Powers which adopt,
or act under her decrees:—
idly. (What is of the utmost importance, as pre-
cluding a new source of misunderstandieg, which
-might arise.after the adjustment of the other ques-
tions), that America is willing to renounce, during
the present war, the pretension (f tarrying on in
time-of war all trade with the enemy's colonies, from
which she was excluded during peace
3dly. Great.Brilain, for the purpose of securing
.the operation of the embargo, and the bonalule in-
tention of A'nerica to prevent her citizens .from
trAtlipg with Franoe, and the powers adopting and
aBing under the'Freneh 'Decrees, is to be considered
as being at liberlysto capture all such American ygs_
sels as may be found ailemp hug to trade with the
ports of any of these Powers; without which se-
etv the observance of the t'inbargo, the rais-
ing it etirohiolly witferespeel toGreo Bihain ;dune,
Would, in tact, raise it with res;,ect to all .the
Un thtse condition's Isis 'Molest) would consent
to wi hdraw Orders in Council of January and No-
vemher, law, so far ft respeas America.

As the.fiist ttrhl second of these conditions are this

nett to the enfo;eement by• the naval power of
Great 131-itoin otthe Regtilanons of America with
respect to FranCe; and the countritor to vi Inch these
regulations continue to apply, but that this Govern.
'Pleat. was itself aware, that without such tut-01.6.
meta those regulations must be plo,get her nugatory,
I flutter myself there u ill be, no ditiiculty to obtain-
inga distinti and official recogni!iotr ut thesecoodi-
lion; from the American,government.

For this porp,,se you are at liberty to count-mi.
catv (his dispatch in extenco to the American Secre.
'tart' of State. Upon' receiving through you, on the
Tart of the American Government, a distinct and
o coal recognition of the three above-mentioned
cotalitions, his Abljesty will lose no time in sending
to America a Minister fully empowered to consign
them to a formal and regular Treaty.
As, however, it istiossible the delay which must
,intervene before the tausl conclusion of a Treaty
nppear to the.Annerican GovernMent to'cleprive
this arrangement of part of its boutaitg, I am to au-.
thong: you, if the:American Government should, be
desirous of aging upon the ,agreecaOt before it is
reduced 'into a regular lot m, (either by the..imme-
(hate repeol of the embargo and the other ads in
,question, or by engaging, to repeal Arm on a pat--
tic:4r day) to. assure the American Government
at his Majesty's readiness to meet
,such a disposi-
tion in. the manner best calculated to give it imme-
diate etre&

Upon.the rt ceipt here of an Official Note, cap-
taining an etipigeinent..for the adopticn, by the
'American Government, or the three conditions
at„ove specified, his Ilajesty u ill be preyared, on
Abe' buch engagement, either Mituediately
(if the repeill shall have been immediate in Arne-
ricti); or on any day specified by the American
.Government for that repeal, recipftically to Scat
the Orders in -Council, without waling-for the con-
elusion of the ; and yuu are authorised,in
