The enclosed sent to Mr. Pinkney by a Mr. Stephen Kingston. DNA : RG 59--DD-Diplomatic Despatches, Great Britain.
I dined at Mr. Canning’s, with the Corps diplomatique, on the 18th. (the Day appointed for the Celebration of the Queen’s Birthday). Before Dinner he came up to me, and, entering into Conversation, adverted to a Report, which he said had reached him, that the American Minister s (here & in France) were about to be recalled. I replied that I was not aware that such a Step had already been...
I had the pleasure on the 9th. Instant to receive by the B. Packet your public Letter of the 5th. of last Month & your private Letters of the 5th. & 9th, together with the printed & other papers transmitted by the same opportunity. I have since received your public & private Letters of the 25th. of November accompanied by parcels of Newspapers &c. The Receipt of your public & private Letters...
Upon comparing the Copy of the order in Council of the 21st. instant, as delivered to me by Mr. Canning on Saturday last (for his Official Letter did not in Fact enclose any Copy) with the Copy published in the Courier of last Night and the Gazette of Tuesday last, it appears that the Words "until further order shall be made therein" are in my Copy omitted. I have enquired into the Practical...
I received from Mr. Canning Yesterday, after Lieut. Gibbon had left Town for Plymouth, an official Communication, of which a Copy is enclosed. Mr. Canning had mentioned the Subject of it in a Conversation, to which he had invited me, on Saturday last, but had requested me to consider what he then said as extra official & intended merely for my own personal Information. When the Communication...
The Union arrived at Plymouth on the 15th. Instant. She has met with some rough Treatment at Sea and in Port; but it is to be ascribed to the Folly and arrogance of subordinate officers. I represented it to Mr. Canning as soon as it came to my Knowledge, and received from him in Answer the private Letter of which a Copy is enclosed. He has since told me that the proper orders were given...
I have had the Honour to receive, by the British Packet, your Letter of the 9th. & 10th. of last Month. The Assurance, contained in the first of these Letters, of the President’s Approbation of the Manner in which my late Instructions were executed, affords me the most lively Satisfaction; and I beg you to accept my sincere Thanks for the kind and flattering Terms in which you have been so...
I have the Honour to send enclosed a Copy of my Reply to Mr. Canning’s Letter to me of the 22d. ultimo. A Copy of the Letter, to which it is an Answer, was transmitted a few Days since by the British Packet, and a Duplicate has been sent to Liverpool. The Union is not yet arrived from France, and we have no Intelligence of her. I have the Honour to be With the highest Consideration Sir Your...
I have the Honour to send enclosed a co py of a Letter received last Night, from M r. Canning, in Answer to my Letter to h im of the 10th. of last Month. The Tone of this Letter renders it im po ssible to reply to it; with a View to a Di scussion of what it contains, although it is not without farther Inadvertencies as to facts ; and many of the Observations are ope n to Exception. I intend,...
I have this Moment recd., by Lieut. Gibbon, your official Letter of Sepr. 9th. & your private Letter of the same Date. You will have discovered some Weeks ago that the Hope which I had entertained of a satisfactory Issue of my Discussions with Mr. Canning was unfounded. I trust it will be thought that the Experiment has been completely made, and that no Man can be found to maintain that every...
I have received the Paper sent to me from the Department of State in the Case of the Little William. It appears from a Report of the Proctors, of the Instant, made at my Desire, that the Furs were ly claimed for the U. S. by Mr. George Salkeld, Agent of the other Claimant, that the Cause came on to be heard before Sir Wm. Scott on the Septr. 1807, that the Judge took Time to deli berate, and...
I am not able to judge whether my Reply to Mr. Canning’s Letter (enclosed in my public Dispatch) will be approved by the President. I need not say that I hope it will. At any Rate it can do no Harm, as it is simply my act. What will be its Reception here I know not. If ill received, as perhaps it may be although perfectly polite, it can affect only myself. This last Reflection suggests...
I have the Honour to transmit enclos ed a Copy of my Reply to Mr. Canning’s Letter t o me of the 23d. of last Month, accompanying his official Answer, of the same Date, to my Note of the 23d. of August. I have the Honour to be, with the highest Consideration, Sir your most Obedient Humble Servant. DNA : RG 59--DD-Diplomatic Despatches, Great Britain.

An American Citizen named William Worthington and several American Seamen were lately taken by a British Cruizer on board a French Letter of Marque bound from Martinique to Bordeaux and brought into Plymouth where they were thrown into Prison. They applied to me to endeavour to obtain their Release in order that they might return: to the United States. Upon Enquiry it seemed that Worthington...
I am now enabled to ha nd to you a Copy of Mr. Canning’s Answer, receiv ed last night, to my Note of the 23d. of Augus t. This Answer was accompanied by a Note of which also a Copy is enclosed, recapitulati ng what Mr. Canning Supposes to be "the Substance of what has passed between us at our Several interviews previous to the presentation of my Official Letter." To the accompanying Paper I th...
My late private Letters were of the Dates of the 7th. 10th. and 12th. of September, to which last was a P. S. of the 13th. The Hope arrived at Cowes from France on the 13th.; but brought me nothing from Genl. Armstrong. Not having heard from Mr. Canning, although he returned to London on the 16th., I called again, Yesterday, at Downing Street, and was assured that the Answer to my Note would...
Mr. Canning has not yet replied to my Note. They tell me at Downing Street, where I called this Morning again, that he is out of Town for some Days, but that Hammond returns Tomorrow. The Hope is not yet arrived, but may be expected every Day, as I learn through a Gentleman who left Paris on the 21st. of last Month. It begins now to be understood that the present Wheat Crop in this Country...
I intended to have enclosed in my private Letter of the 7th. by Mr. Bethune, who left Town on the Evening of that Day for Falmouth to embark in the B. Packet, a Triplicate of my public Letter of the 4th. of August, but in my Hurry I omitted it. I transmit it now by Mr. Young, our Consul at Madrid, who is about to sail from Gravesend for N.York; and I beg to renew my Request that the slight...
I have received a Letter of which a Copy is enclosed from Mr. Thomas Goodchild, of the Island of Malta, but now in London, the object of which is to solicit through me the Appointment of American Consul and Agent for that Island which he supposes to be vacant. He is introduced and recommended to me by Benjamin Rotch (whom you know I believe) and by William Vaughan who is a respectable Merchant...
As Mr. Bethune leaves Town in a few Ho urs, I have only Time to write a short Le tter, in addition to my public one of Yesterday. Mr. Atwater delivered your private Le tter of the 21. of July & a Duplicate of that of th e 15th.; and I received by Mr. Nielson, on the 26th. of last Month, your private Letters of the 3d. & 15th. of July. I cannot subdue my opinion that the overture on the Subject...
I have an opportunity by Mr. Bethu ne, who leaves Town Tomorrow, for Falmouth, to e mbark for the United States in the British Pack et; and I cannot omit to take Advantage of it , although I have still nothing conclusive to co mmunicate. The Hope arrived off Falmouth, and land ed Mr. Atwater, on the 16th. of last Month; she immediately proceeded on her Voyage to Franc e with a fair Wind. Mr....
I omitted to mention in my late Letters, that at my second Interview with Mr. Canning he suggested incidentally that the late Order in Council or Proclamation, relative to Spain, opened the Ports of that Country, not in the occupation of France, to a direct Trade between those Ports & the United States. As I had in View a complete Revocation of the Orders of Jany. & November 1807, & the orders...
The St. Michael arrived at Falmouth on Thursday the 14th. of last Month, after a Passage of eight Days f rom L’Orient. Captain Kenyon delivered to m e on Wednesday the 20th. (upon my Arrival in Town from Brighton, where I had been for a s hort Time on Account of my Health) your L etters of the 30th. of April, and your private Le tter of the 8. of May, together with Newspapers, pr inted Copies...
Burr arrived in England by the last Packet, and has been for some Days in London. He was taken on board at the Hook, was well received at Halifax by Prevost, under the name of Edwards, and brought with him to Falmouth such a Document from Prevost as enabled him to pass on immediately to London without the usual Permission from the Alien Office. He does not I believe appear much abroad; but it...
I had the Honor to write you a short Letter by Mr. Temple Bowdoin, dated, I think, on the 29th. of last Month, of which (not having it here) I cannot now send a Duplicate. It stated, that I had received by the British Packet a Duplicate of your Dispatch by the St. Michael, that I had just had an Interview with Mr. Canning, and that there was Reason to believe that the Object mentioned in that...
I had a long Interview this Morning with Mr. Canning; which has given me Hopes that the object repeal of Orders mentioned in your Letter of the 30th. of April, (a Duplicate by the Packet, for the St. Michael has not yet arrived) may be accomplished, if I should authorize the Expectation repeal of Embargo which the same Letter suggests. Some Days must elapse, however, before I can speak with...
My Letters, since the Departure of the O sage, were of the following Dates, May 30th. (private) June 5th. (private), June 6th. (private) and June 5th. (public). Duplicates of two of these Letters are now enclosed. I had intended to write by the Packet, but lost the Opportunity by the Mistake of a Gentleman, who meant to take Passage in her to America and w as to have Been the Bearer of my...
Mr. John Lloyd Halsey, who is about to return to the U. S. and will be the Bearer of my Dispatches, proposes soon after his Arrival in America, to go to Washington, and has requested me to introduce him to you, and through you to the President, altho’ he is already, as I believe, known to both. I do this very readily because I have understood & believe him to be a Man of Worth & Honor. He has...
I have already had the Honor to suggest, in o ne of my private Letters, that I have not thought i t necessary to trouble you with an account of the different applications, in behalf of Individuals, o r upon Matters of small Importance, which I have made to this Government. I supposed it was sufficient to say in general that they were well received. There is one of these applications, however,...
