An arrival at Boston from Halifax brings
London papers to the 25th of May, which con-
tain intelligence of the utmost Importance to
this country. The correspondence between
Mr.. Erskine and the Secretary of State had
reached London, and on the Gath of May Mr..
Canning declared in the British House of Com
mons that the agreement purport,ng to be en-
tered into between their minister and our go
vernment, was not made IN conformity with tie
uisAcs ohis majesty, nor such as his majesty could
approve Of. Thus has the confidence of our
government been abused, and the property of
our citizens exposed to lawless depreciation by
the wicked Vaccinations of corrupt ministry
1t is true that Mr.. Canning, by way of smooth
ing off the matter, has said that the British go
yernment would respect the settlcmcn: that
has been made until its explanations reach A.
merica. But who will believe him Will not
even some of his good friends in this country
tremble for the fate of their property Can
any one suppose that Mr.. Erskins would have
been so foo-hardy as to make the proposals he
did without full instructions from his govern
ment We have had sufficient proof of MIR.
Canning's talent for quibbling and sophistry to
suppose he may succeed in blasting the repu-
taton of Mr. Erskine, as he has endeavored to
do that of Mr.. Pinckney, but we are certain
that the disposition Of the British ministry to-
wards this country, will be now properly APP
preciated. Whatever evils may result from
the misplaced confidence of our government,
as it must be apparent to all that sincere de-
sire to reconcile the existing differences has
been manifested on our part, honest men of all
parties will now rally round the government,
and the small, contemplate Britt sh faction in
this country will be fain to hide It's diminished
head.
