I wilt rieverthelefs avail myfelf of that mode which he (till permits, to repeat to

you that his tnajefly has au

thorifed me, notwuhllandUig the ungracious maimer in which his former offer of fa tUfaflioh tor the affair of the Chefapeake was received to renew that mr. Ktlkine was inttruifted to make. You have faid that you lb fully un derflood the particulars of that offer, that I deem it un necetTary to recapitulate them here ; I regret that, fince they were to clearly under Hood by you, you fhould not yet have been enabled to flate to me eiher in our perlbnal communications, or in the letter which t am now anlvering, whether they are luch'as he means ulfimately to accept. You teem not lb dilUndly to have underltood the form of proceeding in this affair, which t took the liberty oHugeHing as liktly o lead to a latibfattory i efult, without however it all preeluding any other method whith might appear prifVia ble to you.

I believe tttat I elucidated thi obfervation by a reference to the particular exp'r cflions, which made the terms ot fat. isfadion appear to be unac ccptiole even to the mei ican government, at the very mo ment when they were accep ted, and which at all events put totally out of his niajcfl) power to t atify and confirm anv.adin which luchexpief iions were coniained. On the fuhjt d ot his mnjef ty orders in council, 1 havt had the honor to inform yoi. that his majeliy having c?ufei to be nude to the govei nmeui of the U.
