In the houfc of commons last night, lord Henry Betty pul a question 10 Mr. Canning upon the fubjed of the corrdpon dence between Mr. Erlkine and the American government. — Mr Canning replied, that the a- i gteement, purpottmg to be en* tered into by our miniiters and the American government, was not made in conformity with 1 the wilhes of his majelty, nor ! luch as his majelty could ap- 1 i prove of. It was neither found- i ed on the inltructions lent to ! our tninifter, nor coniiftent with i them. Yet as it was pollible j that under the faith of that a greetnent, various fpsculattons in ttade might be entered into by American merchants, it be came necellary to prevent any inconvenience or detriment to them, to iliue some order, by which they might be secured of indemnity tn their fpeculattons, i at lealt till the feminisms of his I majelty could be convey ed to A ! mertca. * An order in council would Ipetdily be published to the a j bove.mentioncd effefcl.
