LORD GRENVILLE TO JAY.

Lord Grenville presents his compliments to Mr. Jay. He had the honor to lay before the King yesterday the copy of Mr. Jay’s letter of credence. As Wednesday is the usual day for His Majesty’s giving audience to foreign Ministers, and as there will be no levee next Wednesday on account of His Majesty’s journey to Portsmouth, His Majesty has fixed Wednesday sev’nnight for receiving Mr. Jay; but if Mr. Jay, under the circumstances of his Special Commission, should be desirous of having his audience sooner, His Majesty has been graciously pleased to authorize Lord Grenville to say that His Majesty will permit Lord Grenville to introduce Mr. Jay after the levee to-morrow. In that case Lord Grenville would wish to see Mr. Jay in the morning at eleven instead of twelve, as they had before fixed.

John Jay, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
