; WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 18.
To ths Srttrr and ficus-' of Rrfires'cntu
tivt.i of the United Sra tt.
I communicate to emigres* certain
letters which between the- Bri
tish secretary of state, Mr. Canning,
and Mr. Pinckney, our minister «!• r,i
potent!ary at London. When the do
cuments concerning the relation* '•-
tween the United Sutes and Crea
tain were laid befoye congress at t
commence-mcnt of the session, the an
swer of Mr. Pinckney to the letter of
Mr. Canning had not been received, arc!
a communication of the latter'alone
would have accorded neither with pro
priety nor with the wishes of Mr. Pinck
ney. When that answer afterwards ar
rived, it was considered, that as what
had passed in conversation had been
superseded by the written and formal
correspondence on tlu subject, the va
riance in the statements of what had
verbally passed was not of sufficient im
portance to be made the matter of a
distinct and special communication.—
1 he letter of Mr. Canning, however,
having lately appeared in print, un.tc- '
compani|d by that of Mr. Pinkney, in
reply, and having a tendency to make
impression# not warranted by the state
meins of Mr. Pinkney, it has beCQtii*
proper that the whole should be brought
into public view.
TII: JEPPERSON.

'
London, Sept. 24. j
,^ir —I am now enabled to transmit i
to you a copy ol Mr- Canning’s answc . .
received only last night, to my note of
thq 23d of August.
This ans wer wuMccums V>ir '* 4
r *■" j*. i
letter, of which sis . a copy is encios**. .
I recapitulating v.hat Mr. Canning <*.p- !
poses to be the substance of u■> ,t lias !
passed between us at our several inter- •
vie wb previous to the presentation of j
my official letter.”
To the accompanying paper I think I
it indispensable that 1 should reply with- !
out delay—supporting with poiiuiiem, j
butt with firmness, the statements,
which I have already had the bon t to
make to you, of the conversations in |
question, and correcting some errors in
•points, which Mr. Canning has thought
fit-to introduct into his letter, but which
I had not supposed it necessary to men
tion in detail in my dispatches.
I shall not detain Mr. Atwater with a
view to this reply; but will take care to
forward a copy of it by un early convey
ance. My official note and the answer
to it being perfet Uy explicit. Mr. Can
ning’s misapprehensions (lor such they
are) of previous verbal communications
can scarcely be very important in a nub- j
lie view ; but it is, nevertheless, of
some consequence that whatever may
he the object of his statement, 1 should
not make myself a party to its inaccu
racies, by even a tacit admission of j
them.
I do not perceive that, a formal reply !
to the more offi> iul paper can now be
of any advantage ; but 1 shall probably
take occasion to combine with my reply
to the one paper some observations to I
the other.
I regret extremely that the views .
which I have been instructed to lay be
fore this government, nave not been
met by*it as I had at first been led to
expect. The overture cannot fail, h j\y
ever, to place in a strong light the just
and liberal sentiments by which our
government is animated, and in other j
respects to be useful and honorable to I
our country.
I have the honor to be, with the high
est consideration, sir, your most obedi
ent humble servant.
WM. PINCKNEY.

■ SIR,
In laying before the king your Itt
l ter of the 23d of August, and in com
muniettiug to you the enclosed answer
which l have received his majeat)’*
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1809
. V ‘ irV' • 4 " ‘ r-au-vA.
] commands to return to it, I confess that
j I feel some little embarrassment from
tiie type fed references which yourletV
1 ter o'ltuins 'o what has passed between
l os in conversation: an embarrassment
arising in no degife (as you are perfect
ly aware) from any feeling of clistrm-' in
' ’ i! personally, but from a recollection
-m tiic misrepresentations which took
place : n America of former conferences
between us. You gave me, on that oc
: cavon, .he most satisfactory proof that
1 such inisrvpntsenution did not originate
with you, by communicating to me that
part of your dispitch, in which the ccii
f-.rences particularly referred to were
•Mated, and teluted correctly; but thiri
very circumstance, while it establishes
your personal c' im tot nlirt confidence,
proves, at the same time, that a faith
hil report of a conferrnco on your part
is not a security against r'.a misrepre
sentation.
It w»s for that reason principally,
that, after hearing with the most res
pectful attention all that you had to
state to me verbally on the subject of
the present overture, I felt mysuif un
d'f the necessity of requiring, as ‘ in
dispensable,’ a written communication
upon the subject
It is for that reason also that, as in
your written conmuKiication, you refer*
me to our Ir.te conversation for the
4 hearings and details’ of your proposed,
1 feel it necessary to recapitulate, as
j shortly as 1 can, what 1 conceive to
I b* v c passed in those conversations be
yond wiuil I find recorded :n your kt
! ter.
, The* principal points in which tin*
; suggestions drought forwawi by you in
j personal conference appear to me to
, " .v'c <1 *H’- r«<i in iio«s,r decree the
j proposal now stntcd by you in witling,
| are two; the first, that h conversation
the proposals itself was not distinctly
: st..ii das an overture aui horized !iy your
! government; the second, that the be
! nrficial consequences likely to result to
i this country from the ace ptance of that
j proposal, were kk pursued” througii
more ample “ iilustorattoris.”
In the hi st of our conferences, 1 un
deisto <1 you to say a little more, on the
! authority of y:ur government, than that
j you were ins.ruded to remonstrate
j against the orders in council of the 7tli
I of January, and of the lltli of Novem
ber 1807, but to add, as from yourself,
an expansion of your own conviction,
that if those orders were repealed, the
president of the- United Sta.cs would
suspend the embargo with itspt* to
Great Britain,. Upon the consequent. ■.%
of such as uspension of the tmh. ;o,
j while it w .uld still continue to 1..- tn
! forced against 1 ranee, you expa' *ted
! largely, still speaking, however, as t un
derstood, your own individual senti
ments.
It was suggested by you that Arne
*nc«t, in that case, would proi-abiy .:,n
; hen merchant ships against tlusaggres
j sionsof France; an expedi nt to wh;
! you observed it would lie perfectly idle
to resort against Givat-iJi*iuiu. The
collision of atoned vessels 4vouid proba
bly produce war, and the United States
would tnus De brought into the veiy si
tuation in winch we must wish to pi -.ca
them ; that o( hu t«!ity to France, and
virtual, if not formal) alliance with G.
Britain.
In our second conference you repeat
ed and enforced l! ese arguments, cal
culated to induce the B itisi. govern
ment to consent to the repeal of the or
j ders in qounci!: and in this conference,
though not stating yourself to be au
thorized by your government formally
to offer the suspension of the embargo
as an immediate consequence of that
repeal, yet you did piofess, (as I un
derstood you) a readiness to take upon
yourself to inske that offer, provided
that 1 would give you before-hand an
unofficial assurance, that couplet! with
that offer so mad*, the demand of the
repeal of the orders in council of Janu
ary and N >.ember, 1807, would be fa
vorably received.
I of course declined t» give any nirh
previous assur un e: but as you a .bear
ed to attach great importance to 'jus
suggestion, and as l was Uu to th'.u\
