PINKNEY, WILLIAM (17641822) , American lawyer. and statesman, was born in Annapolis, Maryland, on the 17th of March 1764. He was admitted to the bar in 1786, and in 17881792 practised in Harford county. In 1788 he was a member of the state convention which ratified the Federal constitution for Maryland, in 17881792 and in 1795 of the
House
  of Delegates (where in 1788 and 1789 he defended the right of slave-owners to manumit their slaves), and in 17921795 of the state executive council. In 17961804 he was a
commissioner
  under article 7 of Jay's Treaty of 1794 to determine the claims of American merchants for damage through " irregular or illegal captures
or condemnations," and during this time adjusted on behalf of Maryland a claim of the state to stock in the Bank of England. In May 18o6, with James Monroe, then minister at London, he was commissioned to treat with the British government concerning the capture of neutral ships in time of war; in 18071811, after Monroe's return to America, he was
resident
  minister in London. He was elected to the Maryland senate in September 181r, and from December 1811 to January 1814 was attorney-general of the United States. In August 1814 he was wounded at Bladensburg. He served in the National
House
  of Representatives in JanuaryApril 1816, and in 18161818 was minister plenipotentiary to Russia and
special
  minister to Naples, where he attempted to secure indemnity for the losses to American merchants by seizure and confiscation during the rule of Murat in 1809. From 1820 until his death, at Washington, on the 25th of February 1822, he was a member of the United States Senate. He was a member of the conference committee on the bill for the admission of Maine and Missouri, which in its final form embodied what is known as the Missouri Compromise. Pinkney was a remarkably able lawyer and an orator of the old school.
