Summary
Expects to visit Jay soon. Temple appointed as consul for America but the ministry does not seem satisfied with it. Our advances toward a commercial treaty have been ineffectual. They see no reason to form a treaty with us when Congress does not have undisputed control over commerce. News of Adams' appointment is received here.
