70 the various and contradictory ru-
mours respecting the probable issue OF
Mr., Roses mission rumours which,
in our belief, are industriously circula-

for the purpose oflulling the public and

objectionable in him to withhold any

Mr.. Rose, probably suspecting that
the indecisive and unsatisfactory Ian

Rv the arrival OF the brig Minerva, capt
Caldwell, at this port. on Thursday last, in
4j DAYS from Cowes, we have been politely
furnished with London papers (the Morn
jnp Chronicle) from the LIST to the 18th Of
January, which is several days later than our
former accounts. Extracts from these pa
pers are given under our foreign head They
do not, however, contain information of
much Importance. It was reported that
,here were some attempts made at negO-
citation between France and England, but
they appear to be as destitute of official au.
thoIity. as our Washington renorts are res.
meeting Mr.. Roses mission. The Ministry
Of Great Britain refused the mediation Of
Russia and Prussia, on the principle that
these powers are wholly under the control
and influence Ut B0naparte but are willing
10 open a negotiation on a basis consistent
with the principles of national security, and

Angements for an extensive trace with the
Brazils. Lord Strangiord, late Minister at
Lisbon, = appointed 20 ihc same office AZ he

ture for New Portugsi has been mentioned.

Mr.. Canning to Mr.. Pinkney.

FOREIGN OFFICE, February %, 1903
SIR,
have already had the honour of assuring
you, in conversation, OF the disposition which
is felt by the British government to give due
weight to the observations which you have
made to me respecting the unfavoraide i'm
preston, likely, lin your opinon) to be ex-
cited in the Snited States, by the duty pro-
posed to be levied upon cotton destined for
ports Of this country conformably to the te-
nor of the orders of council Of the 11th of No
&ember.
You are already appraised that the princi-
pie upon which the whole of this measure has
been framed, is that of refusing to the enemy
those advantages of commerce which he has
forbidden to this country.
The simple method OF enforcing this sys-
TEN of retaliation, would have been to follow
the example Of the enemy, by prohibiting al
together ali commercial intercourse between
him and other states.
1t was from considerations of Indulgence to
neutral trade. that the more mitigated m ca
sure of permitting intercourse under the re-
straints and regulations of a duty in transitu
was adopted: and being adopted with this
view, it not Immediately felt by the Bril-
fish government; that there might be a dis
tinction taken by neutral states, with respect
TO articles, the produce of their own soil /;
and that while the communication Of prohibit
ton into duty was acknowledged as an intlul
gence, wien applied to articles offoreign conn
merce, of which they were only the carriers,
it might be considered as an invidious impo-
siton, when applied to their own product
o1s
The moment that this distinction has been
explained to the British government, they
have been DESTROYS of manifcstiug every at
tention toit; and if you, sir, had been pos
sessed of the necessary authority from your
government, thore would have been no diff
Guilty in entering into a specific agreement
with you upon the subject. in order, howe
yer, 10 obviate' the objection in sreat de
gree, have the henor to inform you, that it
is intended to be proposed to parliament, that
all cotton, brought into this country in con-
fornity to the orders of council, should be alb
solutely prohibited from being exported to
the territories Of the enemy. But as you are
not prepared to take upon yourself to say,
that IN no case the option would be accepta-
bic, an option will still be left to the neutral
owner either to acquiescc ia the total prohi-
bition, OTTO re export the article on the pay
tnent of sich duty as parliament may Judge
it expedent to impose.
IfiattcrmyseIf, sir, that this alteration in
the legislative regulations, by which tie or
ders OF council ave intended TO be carried in
TO execution, wil be considered by ycu as
satisfactory evidence of the disposition Of his
majesty's government to consul; the feelings,
