SIR-I have the hOaor to enclose to YOU COPY
OF an order, which was passed by His Majesty in
Council on the Oath Of May last
In communicating this Order, it is with the
deepest regret that have 90 inform you that His
Majesty has not thought proper TO confirm the
late provisional agreement which had entered in-
to with ,ou on the-part of our respective govern.
ments.
Neither the present time, nor the occasion,
will afford me favorable opportunity for ex-
planning to you the grounds and reasons upon
which conceived had conformed to his Ma
lesty's wishes, and to the spirit, at least, of my
instructions upon that subject; nor, indeed,
would any vindication of my conduct, (wha,ever
l may have 10 offer) be of any importance further
than rs it might tend to shew that no intention
existed on my part to practise any deception to-
wards the government oi the u S.
lhavethe satisfaction. however, to call your
attention TO that part Of the inciosed Order,
which protects the commerce and shipping Of
the United States from the injury and inconyeni.
ences which might have arisen To American citi.
zens from reliance on the provisional agree
ment before mentioned; and / cannot but cher.
ish hope, that no further bad consequences may
result from all arrangement, which had fully be-
iieved would have met with His Msjesty's ap-
probation, and would have led to a comp etc
and cordial understanding between the two coun-
tries.
With sentiments of the highest respect & con-
sIderation, have the honor to be, Sir, YOUR mos,
obedient humble servant,

Washington, 18Th august, 1909
SIR do not believe, that in the CONVEX
sations we have had respecting the practi-
Cability OF an adjustment Of the differences
between the United States and Great Bri-
tain, we ever have misunderstood one ano-
Their. Yet as from Mr.. Canning's instruc.
tons lately published by your government,
1T woald seem that some opinions are ascrib-
ed to- several members of this administra-
ton, which they did not entertain, it APP
pears necessary to ascertain whether on
any point misrepresentation can have taken
place.
will forbear making any observations on
what in the instructions is called the third
condition, since 1t is not asserted that that
inadmissible proposition was suggested at
Washington.
The points embraced in Mr.. Canning 5
first proposition formed the principal topic
of our conversations, relative to revOca.
ton OF the Orders in Council. Yet in the
manner in which that proposition is express.
ed, 1t goes further than had been suggested
by the members Of the administration. 1t
Is sufficiently evident from the proceedings
oil Congress, both previous and subsequent
to the uHrathed agreement of April last,
that the United STATES intended to- continue
the restrictions on the commercial inter-
course with France, whilst such f her de-
creeS as violated our neutral rights continu-
ed in force, ami To- remove those rcstric lions
hi relation to Great4Brilaiu, ia the event Of
a revocation of the Orders in Council. But
that state OF things 50 far as it related to
France was TO resu from our ozvu lars
known o. anticipated by your government
