mong the merchants of the United

This order In council contains, as
you will perceive, his majesty's disa.
vowal OF the agreement which you
have concluded with the American
government.
am directed BY his M iesty, to
state to you that his majesty enter
tains no doubt OF toe good intentions
and zeal for his majesty's service, by
which you have been led to depart
from your instructisps---bu YOU 4ntssa
be sensible that the consequence of
such step, ard the publicity which
has been given 20 il by tae A>nercau
government, rerder it impossible that
you should continue in the exercise Of
your functions, either with saiisisc ion
to yourself, or with advantage to his
majesty service.

The second and third condition you
appear to have Up given altogether.
No mention whatever is made of
them IN your written COMMUNICATIONS
to Mr.. Smith, and in respect to them
therefore you have acted IN directcon-
Itradiction to yonr instructions.
But even of the first condition, OF
which alone you appear to have at
tempted to rbtain the lui6lment, the
IN ost material part has either been o.
verfooked or conceded by you.
This condition did not require solely
the repeal of the offensive acts with
respect to Great Britain, bue that re>
peal coupled with the continuance of
hose acts in force with respect to
|' France and the powers which adopt
and &C. under. her DEGREES"
Upon this clause, the most inpor-
tant part of the condition you do not
appear to have insisted in any part, not
only of your correspondence but of
your verbal communications with the
<A'hSiiSoh
This clause above all Others, it was
necessary TO conzign to formal and
writes agreement. AS the matter at
present stands before the world in
your Official correspondence with Mr..
Smith, the American government

peal the non-intercourse aes altogeth-

which you have thought proper to en-
ter into on behalf of ni3 rnaies.y, and
if such a clause was rhodghe necessa-

nay Instructions were written, it was

also have been aware at the time. OF
naking the agreement, that the A.

maily exempted Holland, a power
which has unqnesionab'y adopted and

Ito have prevented you from coming

| Without therefore Obtaining even
one of those conditions, on the obtain
i ing of all of which the concession of
his majesty was to depend, you have
pledged his majesty to the iull extent
OF that concession, and have placed his
majesty in the painful alternative of
having either to refuse or to abide by
an engagement taken in his malest, Is
| name, by an accredited minister of his
majesty, or to acquiesce IN measure
which has been adopted not only in
non conformity to his Ihajesty's views,
but in contradiction to his positive
directions.
