Of one hundred and six y acres. AZ much

similar situations at that price. The sales
are however almost exclusively confined to
those who are or intend to become actual

his majesty thought proper to disavow the
arrangement made with Mr. Erskine!
Jackson. have no instructions to that
effect.
Smith. Perhaps then you are prepared
to offer satisfaction ON the pare of his ma
jesiy, for the outrage committed on the
Chesapeake,
Jackson cannot offer any declaration
on that subject. unless you consent to shew
me before hand, what kind Of an answer
you will make nor shall any declaration
on my part be delivered one moment in
point of time before your answer.
Smith. Have you any propositions to
m ke rs to the Orders of Council?
Jackson. None at all sir, bus have no
objection hear you on the subject.
Smith. Am I to understand thar your
government will not revoke the Orders in
Council unless upon the three conditions
