Nr. Canning'x misconceptions Of some

structions shew, what had not collected
from hearing them read, that he upderstood
me to have stated, 4" that the American
government was itself aware that wi,hon,

Britain, OF the regulations of America with
respect to France, those regulations mus,
be altogether nugatory." 1t cannot be ne.

the Secretary of State, dated June Esd,
1909.
had an interview yesterday with Mr..
Canning.
In conversing upon the first of the conf
dilons, upon the obtaining of which Mr..
Ersklhe was to promise the repeal of the
British orders in council, and special
mission collected from what was said BY
Mr.. Canning. that the exemption of Hol.
land from the effect OF our embargo and
non-intercourse would not have been much
objected TO by the British government, if
the government of the United States had
/ been willing to concede the first condition,
subject to that exemption. Mr.. Canning
observed that the expedient Of an actual
blockade Of Holland had occurred to them
; as being capable of meeting that exempt.
: on but that MIR. Erskine had obtained 90
t pledge, express or implied, or in any form,
\ that we would enforce our non.intercourse

rc-enacted or continued as TO France, ser-

to expire, or might even be repealed i'm
mediately. notwithstanding the perseve
