21To James Madison from William Pinkney, 23 February 1808 (Madison Papers)
Mr. Canning had just sent me a note, of which a copy is enclosed, relative to an intended alteration, upon the subject of cotton, in their bill for carrying into execution the late Orders in Council. You will perceive that he lays some stress upon the accidental observations, which (as already explained to you in my letter of the 26th: of last month) were drawn from me, some time since, upon...
22To James Madison from William Pinkney, 16 April 1808 (Madison Papers)
The letter herewith enclosed was found on Board a Vessel lately brought into a British Port as Prize. It was sent from the Court of Admiralty to the Foreign Office, & thence to me. You will see in the Morning Chronicle of the 13th. Instant a Copy of an Instruction to British Cruizers; which the Courier of the day before announced as likely to appear in the Gazette of Tuesday last. It has not...
23To James Madison from William Pinkney, 29 December 1808 (Madison Papers)
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...
24To James Madison from William Pinkney, 26 April 1808 (Madison Papers)
I intended to have forwarded by this opportunity (via Liverpool) a Duplicate of my p rivate Letter of Yesterday, as well as of my pub lic Letter of the 24th., actually enclosed; bu t there is not Time to have it copied.

25To James Madison from William Pinkney, 27 April 1808 (Madison Papers)
I saw Mr. Canning this Morning, and, taking for granted (as the Fact was), that he was apprized of all that had happened relative to my Dispatch of the 23d. of November last, I thought it prudent to afford him an opportunity of shewing the Effect it had produced upon him, by leading to the Subject myself, as being suggested by the American Newspapers. He had evidently received an Impression...
26To James Madison from William Pinkney, 8 September 1808 (Madison Papers)
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...

28To James Madison from James Monroe and William Pinkney, 21 August 1806 (Madison Papers)
We have the pleasure to transmit you a copy of a Note from Mr. Fox of yesterday which announces the appointment of Lords Holland and auckland to meet us on the subjects which are embraced by our joint Commission. We flatter ourselves that we shall enter on this business in the course of a few days, and that we shall be able in a short time afterwards to speak with some confidence of the...
29To James Madison from William Pinkney, 21 October 1807 (Madison Papers)
I have the Honor to enclose a Duplicate of my private Letter by Dr. Bullus, to which I beg leave now to add that, as it appeared on a Re-examination of Mr. Canning’s Note to which it refers, that he had probably supposed the Commission-Extraordinary to have expired, it was thought proper at a late Conference with the special Mission to suggest to him that it was still & would continue to be in...
