Here, again, we find Mr.. Jackson re.
reating that he did not come to renswpro. !
posals which had been declared unaccepr. !

speaks not of making other proposals, br !
of receiving propositions from our govern.

ton required him to take the first step. l.
will not stop to ascertain this point, but yog
will recollecs that by The disavowal the ar
rangement was considered by the British
government as at al end, aud according to
IIr. Jackson's statement he did not come to
form another arrangement adjusting ou,
differences partially; but TO conclude COO
vention whereby there might be real re-
conciiia,ion of all differences between Ire
