Pinkney private letter of the Ath January. de
failing the particulars ola long conference ut the
forsigH Office with Lord Wellesley This letter
explicitly states that the British minister did no;
attempt TO vind!cate Mr.. Jackson; on the con.
trary, he admitted that he was in the wrong, that
he must return and that successor would be
sent out to the United States-Nat. Int
We have received files of various London
prints to the 18th of January, inclusive, from
which we have extracted few articles OF intelli-
gence IN addition TO those already given, which
embrace almost all the news of Importance they
contain. IT these papers be taken as indicative
OF the opinion entertained in England ofthe con
duct OF MIR. Jackson, no doubt can be entertained
OF ITS general rcprobation. Indeed the Courier
is the only print have seen that justiies il, &
that only partially We have made two interest
ing extracts from the Morning Chronicle, and
Bells Weekly Messenger, and shall, in our next
paper, give other extracts, serving to shew the
light III which the subject is vie wed.
Neither the letters or papers received from
England, confirm the previous information that
Mr Canning had been appointed to the place of
First Lord of the Admiralty. From this silence
II must be inferred that the information is unfoin.

It's proper TO add, that the latest information
received in England from this country, was 10 Tie
18th OF December, when Mr.. CHESS resolutions
had passed the Senate, but had not been acted
upon by the House of Representatives.
We this dsy insert a copy Of the message of
The President of the United States of America,
to Congress 1t will be seen that q considerable
part OF 1T consists of observations on the relations
between the American government and th coune
try. The mission of Mr.. Jackson, is, of course,
prominently alluded to, and it is with no small as
Constituent we ind it stated, that this gentleman
h'd received no authority TO enter into expIa
nations relative TO either branch of the arrange

authority to substitute proposals us TO that branch
which concerned the British Orders in Council"
Supported as this assertion is, by the Official an.
thoriy of the President, and thus socnnly com.
nunicated to the lie gislature, we scarcely know
now to believe it. Is il possible TO conceive that
when, in consequence of tic disavowal, OF an az
rangemcnt made by one minister, another has
been SENT That latter should have no authority
either To enter into explanation or to substitute
