MY LORD;--41) the course of the Official Corre-
sponde,ce, which has lately taken place between.
the Secretary 0 State of the United States, and Mr.
Jackson, his Mjesty's Envoy Extraordinary and
'Minister Plenipotentiary at Washington, it has un-
tOrtunqtely happened that Mr. Ja..1:,,0n haS male it
necessary that I should receive the commands of the
President to renti,:st his. recal, and that in the Mean'
time, tl+eAntet course b;:iw, en that Minister and the
- Ametican Government should be suspended.
I ant stile, my Lord, that I shall best consult your
`Lordship's wishes and the respect 'which I owe to
his' Majesty's Governinent, by executing my duty
on this occasion with perfect simplicity and frank-
ness. My instructions, too, point to that course BS
required by the honour ut the two Gov n merits, and
_as suited to the confidence which the President en-
tertains in the disposition of his Majesty, Gus ern
•ment to' vie%)s, irue light the su,.ject to which
t fiey ielate. With such in:.!ucements to exclude from.
this communication &Very thing which is not inti-
mately connected with its fmrpose, and on the other
hand, to set forth with 'candour and explicitness the
facts and' c,nsidentions which really belong to the
case, 1 slipup he unpardonable if I taiigued your
Lordship with unnecessaly details, or affeCted re- ,
serve.►

It known to your Lordship that Mr. Jadison
arived in America, as the •sUcCessor of Mr. Erskine,
While the disappointment
,'produced by the disa-
vowal of the aura; gement of the 19th of April, was
yet recent; and.: while some other cauSes of di6satiss
tad ion, wli:Ch had been Mide to as.,ociate themsel% es
with that, disappointment, Were id operation. gut
your Lordship also knows that hii reception: by. the
Autericin,Uuvernment wad marked by all that kind-
ne4s and r'csp:.tt ‘VhiCh were t!tle to the representa.r.
tive of a Sovereign with u how 14e United States
were sincerely dtsirou.s of maintaining the most
friendly' relations.
WhateVer +Acre the. hopes which Mr. Jackson's
tnissiorthad. in•pired, Pi sat is!a4.-tury explanations and
adjustments- upon Ole prominent polats olditference
between the two countries„they ctntairdy were not
mue4,encouraged ;by the conferences, in which, as
far as he thiiuglit proi er, he opened to Mr. Smith,
soon after. It's arrival, the natuie and extent of his,
powers, .and the, views of hiy Government. Atter
an experiment, deemed by the Government of the
United States to be sufficient, it appeared that these
conferences, necessarily liable to misconception and
want of precision, were not ,likely to lead to any
pradical conclusion.

.Accordingly, on the 9th of .o:9olier, Mr.:Smith
addressed. a letter to Mr. Jackson, in which; atter
stating. the course of -proceeding which the Ameti-
can Gaveininent had supposed itself entitled to ex-
pect tram him, with regard to the rejected arrange-
ment and the miners en,braced by it and _after le-
capitulaiingwhat Mr. Smith believed to have passed
in their, recent interviews !dative to those subjects,
be intimated that it was t hought expedient that t heir
further discussions, on that particu:ar occasion, should
be--in writing.
• It is.evident, my Lord,••from Mr. J.ickson's reply
of the 1 Itb of the same month, that he received this
intiination (1/40,ich, carefully restricted as it was, he
seems to have been willing to unders:and in.a general
sense) .4, iikconsiderible- sons bitty. He speaks of it
in that reply, as bring without example in the anna..,
of Diplomacy ;as a step against whit.b it was tit to
enter his protest , as a violation in his person of the
most essential rights of a public Miukier ; as a new
difficulty thrown in the way of a restoration of a
tl.jorough • good understanding between • the two •
Countries. .. .

. 1 need not remark to your Lordship that nothing of
all this Could with propriety be said of a ptoceeding,
in itself entirely reguhir and usual, r:goired by the
state of the. discussions to .vhich only it was to he ap-
plied, and proposed in a manlier perteclly decorous
and unexcepthinab:e. The Government of the
United States had expelled from Mr. Jackson. an
eAplanitt ion of the grounds ot, the ref.isal on the
part of his Goveinment to abide by Mr. Erskine's
arrangement, accompanied by a suostitotion of
of her prodosilions. It bad been colleoed from
Mr. ..Lcksou'3 conversations,. that hi had no power
whateter to give any such explan3tron or, in
the business'ot the Utters in Conned, to offer any
subs' tor, the rvjeated agreement ; or, in the
alTaur the Chesapeake; to ooer any substitute that
c /old, be accepted; and fit had
il,E.Vrred, from the
sanW: conversation, that, even if the American Go-
Ve? nment should yropc!ie a substittite for that part of
