81 Mr. Pinkney, our minister At the court OF
St. James, viii Interest every reader-we
neyer saw it ill yesterday, and we believe
d did no, accompany the documents order
ed to be published by congress.
81 This lelter establishes two IMPORT
y ANT FACTS, which ought never to be
Forgotten.
q The f,st is, ina, the ofler Of EIr. Jefer-
son to RAISE the embargo Oh the resembling
The osders in council, WAS only eommuni-
Gated TO Etr. Canning by Mr. Pinkney in
his INDIVIDUAL capacity, in a YER
pal communication, and with an expires
y on Of a BELIEF only, that his govern
laensv ould raise the embargo, If the Bri-
shgoverumentwoald FIRST remove their
ctooxious ORDERS III council.
S3 The second fact, is, that Nh. T iin knev, Tin
lsriy 70 Air. Canning S request for intor
enahan) states unreaesvedly, that when the
resident recommended the embargo, ne
had no information OF the passage of the
81 British orders il council now complained
Id.
# On these highly important facts, the pub
PIC can easily decide how far our govern
nent have bsen DISPOSED to settle their
differences with England.
