SIR do not believe, that in the con-
yersations we have had respecting the
practicabiIi.y of an adjustment of the
between the United States
and Great Britain, we ever have mis-
understood one another. Yet as from
Mr. Canuing's Instructions lately pub
lished by your government, it would
seem that some opinions are ascribed
TO several members of this administra-
ton, which they did not entertain, It
appears necessary to ascertain whether
on any point a Misrepresentation can
have taken place.
Iwill Gorhear making any observa-
tons on what in the instructors is
called the third condition, since it is
not asserted that that inadmjssible pro-
position was suggested at Washing
ton.
The points embraced IN Mr.. Can
ning's first proposition formed the
principal topic Of our conversations, re
iaive to a revocation Of the orders in
council. Yet in the manner in which
that proposition is expressed, it goes
further than had been suggested by
che mcmbers Of the administration.
Il IS sufficiently evident from the pro-
ccedings Of Congress, both previous
and subsequent to the unratihed agree
ment Of April last, that the United
States intended to continue the restric-
tons on the commercial intercourse
